General Comments
I bought the Roboraptor for one of my nieces and I have to say that I was very impressed with this remote control dinosaur. The kid was a big fan of the Robosapien last year so the Raptor seemed like a natural choice for a present this time around. The Roboraptor is basically amazing; it can walk, stalk its prey or even run like the wind! What really impressed me was the way it walks and manoeuvres like the Raptors in the Jurassic Park films, it doesn't quite have the same speed though!!!
The Roboraptor also has a variety of sensors so he is aware when he is coming up against objects, the Raptor can be controlled via the user control pad or you can put him on an autopilot mode where he will roam by himself. This gizmo really comes into its own when you put it into attack mode, it snaps and bites like a true predator and can also play tug of war! The vicious robotic dinosaur can also snarl and hiss if he doesn't like the look of you But it's not all gratuitous violence, the Raptor also has a 'playful' nature where he will nuzzle up against the user for affection!
This is a splendid gadget and I have to say, it gets my vote ahead of the Robosapien! I guarantee the kids and big kids alike will love it too, my niece has been thoroughly delighted by the Raptor and I think it will make a brilliant Christmas or Birthday present for children everywhere.
