About this game

This South Korean educational program combines an interactive encyclopedia of dinosaurs (as well as plesio- and pterosaurs), pleasantly surprising in its breadth and depth of content, with a collection of jigsaw puzzles—also quite impressive in size.

The encyclopedic section of Puzzle Dinosaur , as noted above, is significantly more comprehensive than that of most similar Western projects. However, since all the text is in Korean, only someone fluent in the relevant dialect will be able to glean any knowledge from it (which, incidentally, is limited anyway, as the information blocks are very brief—they're simply even shorter in other similar games). Regarding the graphics, the only thing that can be said is that the original images for the puzzles turned out great, while the CGI cutscenes, alas, are rather terrible. Overall, it's a very entertaining game, perfectly suited for those who enjoy assembling pictures from fragments, regardless of their knowledge of the language.
