"Before trying out the latest entry at a press event last week, I had no previous experience with Fossil Fighters. However, I've always thought it might serve as a decent enough variation on Nintendo's own Pokémon franchise, if only because it has a more educational element to it. Now with the sequel making Fossil Fighters an actual series instead of just a one-off release, eyes are on Fossil Fighers: Champions to see if Nintendo has successfully adjusted whatever flaws were present in the original and to determine if this series is worth continuing even on non-DS platforms." -- Wiiloveit.com
GameShark - The Fossil Fighters games are, in a nutshell, Pokémon with dinosaurs. In fact, the newest release takes so many cues from Pokémon that it’s kind of strange that Nintendo would agree to publish it. You pick a trainer from a pre-generated boy or girl as in Pokémon. You fight your way towards the top of a sport based on having magical creatures fight as in Pokémon. You face an “evil” group of enemies that seem to be more bothersome than murderous as in Pokémon and you find yourself paired up with annoying sidekicks and haughty rivals, just like in Pokémon.
GameDynamo - "It would probably be more accurate to say "Gotta Dig Up and Revive'em All!". Indeed, Red Entertainment's Fossil Fighters: Champions does adhere a little too closely to Nintendo developer Game Freak's own vaunted series about finding, training, and bonding with whimsical and fascinating creatures in an effort to become the very best. "
GameSpot - Fossil Fighters: Champions might be worth digging up, but it's too similar to its predecessor to be a significant find.
