The Dino Game I Missed
This review is for the Nintendo DS version

So, I only recently finished my first playthrough of fossil fighters on the Nintendo DS. I remember seeing some other kids play it when I was younger and despite how cool it looked I never ended up playing it myself until now.

I definitely missed out. This game has a great gameplay loop between finding and reviving fossils and the 3v3 type based battle system. It took me a minute to get both parts of the gameplay loop down but it is a lot of fun. The story is wacky and I love it.

If you have the chance, I definitely recommend giving fossil fighters a go if you like turn based combat and creature collecting. I plan to play through the post game content here and there as well.
