IGN: Jurassic Park Review

If you're like me, you want the Jurassic Park game to be great. Just about everyone describes the original film as a classic, so developer Telltale Games picking up the franchise and creating a four-episode adventure game -- the genre Telltale specializes in -- sounds like a recipe for success. In the end, however, it isn't. Jurassic Park is a meandering tale of forgettable characters getting lost in a park that is far less wondrous than the one we saw on the silver screen.

ouch shame was hoping it would be at leats decent

Telltale Games are pretty dependable for the most part, and Tales Of Monkey Island is one of my favourite games for the PS3. Shame this turned out so average though.

[spunnups]

looked like garbage from the beginning

[stu888]

unfortunately you are right

[rezzah]

With a game like this, despite the terrible graphics and bad copy of Heavy Rain's gameplay style, the story is what matters.

So the best way to get this game without having to pay for it is to buy PSN+ for a year ($50). That is if you like PSN+ and need to renew it or purchase it for the first time now would be a good time.

Hopefully there will be a demo, so we can see what this is like

Next up to the plank:

The Walking Dead

Never really liked Jurassic Park anyway, even the first movie. I don't have a thing for dinosaurs, I guess.

But Telltale Games don't usually misstep like this, 'tis quite unfortunate.

and thats why its free for new PSN users.

I'll buy this one on the cheap. I love telltale games but this looked pretty mediocre from the get go. Really looking forward to their Fables game and hopefully we get another Monkey Island and Sam & Max game.

Shame, I really wanted this to be good.

ill get it for 20 when it drops. should have made it more like dino crisis though. could even have a similar story, fatman doesnt show up, the people buying it send in a mercenary, but with guns and a knife. she doesnt realize how bad things are until she gets there and then it becomes a fight for her life, using what little ammo she brought, the environement, her knife, perhaps any weapons found on the island ( tranqs and other emergency weapons )......even better think deadspace with dino's and an uncharted like story presentation. would have been a huge hit, as is it is a huge missed oppurtunity.

oh and to add in some true innovation to separate it from others...you have one life bar and you get that and only that to make it through the game, if it goes down it does not regen, there could be med kits which you could use to treat injuries similar to snake eater, and other supplies though you could use that would slightly replenish it but just barely and all injuries would be reflected on the character model. oh and similar to heavy rain, if you died before the end than that was it, you died, you see the end when you eventually make it to the end.

with limited ammo and only one life it would force it to be more survival less, action. you could be running for your life more than shooting which would provide that same type of feeling you got watching the characters in the movie.

Some things should stay extinct. It look garbage.
