The game is designed to be very accessible for young children, making it a great introduction to driving controls.
The colorful graphics and charming voice acting create an inviting atmosphere that appeals to kids and can be enjoyable for adults in local multiplayer.
The inclusion of an auto-pilot mode helps younger players stay on track, making it easier for them to enjoy the game without frustration.

The gameplay is overly simplistic, lacking depth and challenge, which may disappoint older players or those seeking a more engaging experience.
The game suffers from repetitive tracks and limited content, with many players completing the adventure mode in under two hours.
The high price point is considered unjustifiable by many reviewers, especially given the game's lack of substantial content and depth.

The game's story is minimal, with players noting that the adventure mode lasts only about an hour and features very limited dialogue, often consisting of just a few lines across the entire campaign. While some appreciate the colorful graphics and decent voice acting, the overall narrative experience is considered lacking, with many wishing for more substantial storytelling and the option to disable in-race dialogue.
- “I appreciate the colorful graphics, a bit of story, and up to 4 player split screen support.”
- “Good voice acting with enough to make the story a pleasant addition in adventure mode.”
- “The short adventure (campaign/story) doesn't make the game much better.”
- “I'll call it 'finished' as I've played through what little story there is.”
- “- there's next to no story and only 2 characters out of 8 ever talk with more than race grunts, and even then each race track gets a max of maybe 5 lines in total, not per character.”
- “Also, the short ~1 hour long adventure (campaign/story) doesn't make the game much better.”

The gameplay of "Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart" is characterized by overly simplistic controls and tracks, making it accessible primarily to younger audiences, which may disappoint more experienced gamers. While some players find the atmosphere enjoyable and the gameplay fun despite its repetitiveness, the default autopilot feature and lack of depth in mechanics limit its appeal. Overall, the game is seen as overly simplified, catering to children rather than offering a challenging experience for a broader gaming audience.
- “The gameplay was nice; it gripped me and was fun, even though it appealed to young children. I liked it, frankly, it was nice in terms of atmosphere.”
- “The gameplay here is designed more for younger kids, which is fine, but it may limit the appeal to most gamers, especially considering this review is evaluating Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart as a PC game.”
- “The auto-pilot being on by default and the drift mechanics left unexplained contribute to a gameplay experience that feels overly simplified.”
- “If you paid full price and bought it for yourself, you will be disappointed by the very simple controls that require no skill whatsoever, the simple tracks, and the repetitive gameplay.”
- “The gameplay here is dumbed down even for a kart racer, making this appear to be designed more for younger kids, which is also fine, but it's going to limit the appeal to most gamers, especially given this review is evaluating Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart as a PC game, not as a Nintendo Switch game.”
- “Doesn't feel wholly fair to review an obvious kids' game when I'm not a kid, but the auto-pilot being on by default, the drift mechanics left unexplained, the terribly easy difficulty, the constant announcer, and the inability to rebind the controls.”
