ParaWorld is one of those games that tries a new concept or idea, but concentrates so much on that idea that it fails to bring anything terribly interesting in other areas to the table. Whenever someone asks me to describe the game to them quickly, I generally end up saying something like "It's a real-time strategy game…with dinosaurs" because really, that's all that it feels like.
