Jurassic Park: The Game

Telltale games studio is my home away from home when I feel down I play there games I love Telltales games.. Why couldn't I play this I had a ps3 but couldn't play it.........

But still I give it 10/10 even no I couldn't play? I no it's crazy right......

"Jurassic Park: The Game" is a very unique type of game. It does not involve the players controlling the characters the same way as most video games, but instead puts the player in the situation of the character.

The game follows the story of Dr. Gerry Harding and his daughter, Jess, as they have to team up with other survivors of the events in the first Jurassic Park movie.

Most people have been calling this game "an interactive cut-scene" instead of a game, and in a way it is true, the game is probably 50% video. BUT the thing I think makes it most enjoyable is the story. Video games based off movies are notoriously bad at telling good stories, but this one stays very faithful to movies as well as to the books. It mentions several ideas that were from the book but left out of the film, and builds upon ideas introduced in Jurassic Park III (dinos on the island that weren't on InGen's list, implying they were breeding unknown dinosaurs without telling anyone).

While the graphics aren't the greatest by today's standards, the dinosaurs shown in the game look and behave exactly like the dinosaurs in the films. The characters are well developed and the story is compelling, with several jump-moments. All in all, I'd say if you're a big Jurassic Park fan, this game is a must-play.

Negatives:

This does suck as a video game. Like other TellTale games there is practically no impact that your choices have, but unlike modern TellTale games you must constantly press buttons like a madman to get past every scene.

Gerry Harding feels like a completely different character from the film in this game. Apparently he shaved his mustache and gained muscles.

Many of the dinosaurs are noticeably nerfed. The T Rex and velociraptors should be more than capable of outrunning the characters, but they fail to do so on several occasions.

There are a few scenes that drag on way too long. One example is where you try and find out what happened to Nedry's can and it takes like 10-15 minutes.

There are some plot holes dinosaur wise. There shouldn't be any more adult velociraptors after the first movie because they were all apparently killed. The parasaurolophus is tan while it should be green like it was in 1993. There are Jurassic Park 3 pteranodons in the sky even though they weren't canonically created until way after the first movie.

Bill Yoder's character does a complete 180, going from a tragic and semi-douchey hero to a villain who tries killing everyone because I guess the story wanted an antagonist.

Positives:

Storywise, the game is arguably better than many of the Jurassic World films and is comparable to Camp Cretaceous .

The main character, Nima, is voiced by Nika Futterman who is also voiced by Asajj Ventress. This game might be like the Clone Wars of the Jurassic Park franchise.

I like Jess and Gerry Harding as characters. They might be more interesting than any of the characters that appear in any of the Jurassic World movies.

I actually like Dr. Sorkin as a character. She is morally gray and her actions throughout the game somewhat connect to Jurassic World.

The troodons are amazing. Maybe the franchise has too many toxic species with dilophosaurus and compsognathus also being poisonous, but it's fine.

Most of the bigger returning dinosaurs- T Rex, velociraptor, dilophosaurus, triceratops, are given the amount of screen time that they deserve.

Many plot elements here are actually really cool and some have been used in the films. Such elements include a helicopter being attacked by a pteranodon, a mosasaur, lysine contingency, Mount Sibo, and the utility tunnels.

Favorite scenes- the dilophosaurus from episode 1, the rollercoaster although it was goofy, and the mosasaur scene.

I guess it's nice that they explained how the T Rex got in the visitor center, even if Jeremy James Prutchick's explanation is better.

We actually see the classic t rex vs triceratops in this game. Or at least part of it.

The ending was actually pretty awesome even if there was no way Gerry could outrun the T Rex.

Fan theory- The mosasaur in this game is actually the same one from Jurassic World back when it was a juvenile. They look pretty different and the one in this game is specifically called a Tylosaurus, a type of mosasaur, but it's fun to think about.

Episodes ranked: #4 Episode 3 #3 Episode 2 #2 Episode 1 #1 Episode 4.

I wanted to like this game. I really did. But I'm sorry. I hated this game. It wasn't engaging, the cast was just a bunch of idiotic stereotypes, and it had little to no storyline.

It had great setup. I liked the idea that the plot was set up to revolve around the embryos in the shaving cream can. But they don't take advantage of it. Other than that, there really isn't much of a story.

And you can literally list off all the characters by their stereotypes.

Gerry: The Neglective Father.

Jess: The Teenage Girl

Nima: The Hot Mercenary

Dr. Sorkin: The Animal Rights Activist

Oscar: The Tough Guy

Yoder: The "Ladies Man"

The writing is terrible, the characters are forgettable, and luckily, is the only bad Telltale game that I've ever played. I suggest that you leave this game behind in the prehistoric era and find something different.

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite films and now we get a new game based off the film and novel.

Jurassic Park The Game centers around the first film where it takes place during and after the events of Jurassic Park.

Unlike other games these days Jurassic Park The Game is more like a interactive movie where you have to point and click along with response to quick time events which at times can be challenging if you're not careful.

The game has only one character from the novel and film Dr.Gerry Harding as the protagonist and features a different set of characters that are created only for the game.

The music in the game features original music created for the game along with using samples of the music from the movie which is nice for those who love the film. The voice acting in the game make the game story interesting and no big name actors were feature in the game.

The game also features fan favorite dinosaurs from the film like T- Rex and Raptors which is a good plus for those who enjoy them in the series.

Graphic wise the character designs are far to say the least but the level designs has a lot of reference to the first film.

The game does have some problems mostly some of the response action in the game are not quick enough even if you push the button right and if not done right it's game over.

But it is a interesting take on the series almost as if this game was meant to be the sequel to the first film. So this game is more for fans of Jurassic Park. Also most of the Dinosaurs don't look like they did in the film which makes it uneasy for most.

Then again I'm not the kind of gamer who puts graphics first I prefer game play and story first.

With a interesting story and game play Jurassic Park The Game maybe worth your while, it's on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3.

If you're a fan of Jurassic Park and video games you might want to give it a try. I give Jurassic Park The Game an 8 out of 10
