In my opinion, tigrex is probably the perfect example of the shift in gameplay between the newer and older games. Overall he's a relatively simple creature, prioritizing brute force over special attacks. In freedom unite, as others may have mentioned, his fight was dangerous, though simple, it was a test of enduarnce and concentration. You had to try to constantly postion yourself properly, or you'd just end up dead, flash bombs didn't help all that much as his health was really high and he constantly spun right round. The newer versions of tigrex fixed a lot, the hitboxes to the sides were edited, be got some neat subs, and the terrian combat is great (plus his mount animation is hilarious and scary). He just can't seem to hit as hard and doesn't have the health to maintain a fearful fight. I'm not saying the gameplays are better or worse, just different. Tigrex is very fair now and can occasionally get a cart out of me,  it's just there are times I miss the unfairness and fear in his fight ^^ I'm sure some would gladly disagree though
