Dinotopia: Living the Adventure

Dinotopia is a solid, nonviolent adventure game based on the books by James Gurney. It is an interactive world full of art, science, and invention. This 2D animated point-and-click recreation lets you play as Nathan, a young man who has been separated from his twin sister Constance as the result of a shipwreck. Dolphins have rescued the pair and transported them to the island. The game is an exploration of the world of Dinotopia and visits many of the areas--Waterfall City, Treetown, the World Beneath--made popular in the books. There are over 130 characters with whom to interact. The player must learn the language and alphabet of Dinotopia in addition to solving audio and visual puzzles. As the game progresses in difficulty, the younger gamer may find the going thorny, but this is a game that parents will enjoy sharing with their children.
