I'm not sure, but you might find that that one turns out to be US only, like the last advergame they had on there.

fuck thats funny. The design meeting for that must of been funny. I mean dinosaurs are popular therefore they will make Doritos MSG coated crisps more desirable. Space ships are really popular too and everyone of this demographic loves things in space so why not dinosaurs. etc etc

I think it was edge that said dinosaurs are cool but dinosaurs in space is just fucking stupid.

I think it was Bill Waterson that also invented the universal true that Dinosaurs flying F16s is a bridge to far.

Well it seems a few people have downloaded the game. An easy 190 points for your gamerscore, but not really worth playing beyond that. Still, I had more fun with it than that free Yaris game.

We got this one in Europe too, so I got my 190 gamerpoints as well. It was easy enough, and quite weird to get so many achievements in such a short time! The Doritos advertising isn't going to work on me, as I can't get them here. Mind you, the game made me want a robot dinosaur more than some Doritos!

I actually bought some Doritos last night anyway. So now I can play this game AND eat some Doritos without having to kick myself for falling for the advertising scheme. Nice.

On a related issue ... anyone tried the "new" Doritos out at the moment. They've basically just stuck two flavours in one bag. Bet that took a long time to think up.

I would just like my corner shop to sell normal Doritos. Not these newfangled ones with no flavour.

Anyone fancy farming the 10 point MP achievement? Probably take us about 10 minutes or so... :)

I thought it was only local multiplayer?

Yes, it is - I felt dirty after whoring the 190 points out of it in about 10 minutes. I'll save the final 10 points for later. ;)

I actually really struggled to complete the last level of truck and last two of T.Rex. :oops:

Is it sad to admit that I really liked this when I played it through on PartnerNet? Sure, it's basically some GamerScore courtesy of Doritos, but the idea and execution is so bizzare I think it actually works quite well! Given enough time / money, I think you could have justified a paid for title out of it - I was thinking Mashed but with T-Rex escaping as well! :D

Cheers
