DHGF: Fossil Fighters Champions is easily one of my favorite games this year. It is the rare sequel that greatly improves upon it’s predecessor, but it also has some of the best gameplay out of any DS game I’ve played. It isn’t original, and the presentation could use some work, but this is a great title for your DS. If there’s any justice in this world, this game will sell like crazy and turn this budding franchise into a bonafide hit.
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.
