Dino D-Day: *Insert pun here*

After some time neglecting this thing why not review a game that I was forcibly made to purchase to enjoy a couple nights of solid banter.

Dino D-day is a fps game, set in alternative world war II where Hitler and his little wizards manage to somehow resurrect dinosaurs and then use them in their war machine to kerb stomp the allies into submission.

Made by 800 North and Digital Ranch, an Indie games (you may have noticed a rather common theme with the games I review) its surprisingly not shit ,considering it emerged from the cess pool of the Dinosaur themed game shit pile that slops around on the bottom of the steam store ( I henceforth name them Dindie Games) . I think that its major success is that it managed to actually make a good game in Valve's Software source engine meaning that the way it handles is very much like stepping into Left 4 Dead or Half-Life 2.

As you can imagine Axis consists of mostly dinosaurs, (6 small, 2 massive ones, 3 humans) and the allies consist mostly of Humans (8 humans, 1 Dinosaur). Normally this would lead to a really massive imbalance and in some cases and on some maps this is the case, but overall the game isn't biased in favour of one team, and whoever manages to win only wins because of playing better than the other team, even the huge dinosaurs have a blind spot, where humans can melee them to death.

The graphics are somewhat dated, but as my reviews normal tell I don't give a rats ass how good it looks as long as it handles well. Yes graphics are important to a game with relatively no story (Thanks game dev tycoon), but id much rather prefer a FPS game where im able to shoot the enemy, because the hitboxes are reasonable and well planned and implemented rather than it looking nice for all of 5 seconds until I figure out how to put a comically large hole in their chest.

The controls are typical of the FPS genre, you now WASD, left click to shoot, keeps in nice and easy to play, cos you know, anyone who has played any game on the PC, is used to it. Goat kills are fun, which true to the name, you throw one of the many randomly placed goats at someone, as a dinosaur, or alternatively you can just play catch with your dino buddies.

This review is short, I know, but theres not much I can really say, the sound doesn't sound like it was recorded on a potato, its fun, worth the £6.99, but the I think that adding the Last Stand Mode as a DLC is abit stupid, but atleast its isn't the DLC quest that Payday 2 is (as I have been informed, yet to find out).

Its one of those games that isn't serious, its fun to piss around with mates or with strangers and its always got populated servers, its fun, fast paced, easy to play and more importantly, not crap, like the vast majority of the Dindie games available on steam.

Level: 7.5/10 (cheeky wink for the inclusion of throwing goats at people for kills)
