Trendy Gamers: Fossil Fighters: Champions is the sequel to the very under appreciated 2009 DS game, Fossil Fighters. The original Fossil Fighters gave you the ability to dig up fossils from the ground, resurrect them and battle the Vivosaurs that come from those fossils. The gameplay was very much like that of Pokemon and the sequel is more of the same but it will still entice DS owners looking for a catch’em all experience this holiday season.
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.
This series is new to me, looks very unique.
