Our Dinosaur Era
Type: Two 3D Modeled Dinosaur Movies and a Museum Trip
Image Quality: Passable, think PS2
Scale: Good
Length: Medium
Like most Dino apps I've tried (aside from the incredible movie Blue), this is a pleasant experience that feels like you are inside a PS2 game rather than watching dinosaurs in real life. The dinos themselves are pretty well modeled and skinned, but the ground, rocks and such are low rez. If you enjoy a bit of time travel to learn about the ancient past, it is a worthwhile experience. If you are looking for a Wow Go experience not so much.
The first movie is the best part of the app. You meet, and occasional feed meat to, a fair collection of dinosaurs while hearing about them and their world in a fairly lengthy experience. The second 'movie' is an odd mashup of visuals explaining the dinosaur extinction and is much shorter. After that you can wander around a virtual museum and look at dino skeletons. Not over whelming visually, but a nice narrative and clever little graphics to drive home important points.
