This review of Jurassic Dinos: T-Rex Rider contains the following information:
Our reviewer played the game for several hours.
Jurassic Dinos: T-Rex Rider is very similar to many continuous runner/driver games where play continues until you crash. In this game, the player controls a velociraptor dinosaur. Your velociraptor begins running (into the screen, in 3D view) with a triceratops in pursuit. The player must navigate through the course without being caught and without crashing into obstacles. Left and Right movement is achieved through swiping in the respective directions, whilst your dinosaur runs forward automatically. Gold coins can be collected along the way and used to buy abilities, such as speed boosts and shields. The aim of the game is to run as far as possible without crashing.
Although the game itself has nothing that should concern parents, the number and nature of the ads are not suitable for younger children. Many of the ads that appeared were for slot machine apps and games featuring violence. These ads will also play at random times and not just following incentives to earn rewards. There are also Facebook and Twitter icons on the home screen which take you out of the app and direct you to the social media websites.
There is In-App purchasing available in this game. Examples include:
There is the ability to connect with social media (Facebook and Twitter) in this game.
