Why There's Never Been a Good Jurassic Park Game

IGN - I never felt like I was missing anything, and I still don't. And I think, perhaps a bit snootily, that that's because there's a divide – a kind of perceptual chasm – between what people think they remember Jurassic Park being about, and what it was, you know, actually about. And I also think that this is the reason that every Jurassic Park game I've ever played has been a disaster.

I thought that jurassic park genesis was a good game.

Software_Lover3527d ago

I agree. I really liked that game.

mafiahajeri3527d ago

The lost world one? That one was freaking epic, especially the raptor levels so good...

BS SPECULATION ARTICLES AND BLIND OPINION PIECES FOR EVERYBODY

cannon88003527d ago

I know right? It's annoying because these are opinion pieces and yet they are presented as if they are facts. I know why they do it though. It's to get people's attention.

IDK, I thought the SNES was pretty decent, the FPS sections were nicely done if a little primitive (considering the hardware). There was a cool glitch in it (collecting the dinosaur eggs gave you extra lives - just move away slightly from the egg until it's on the edge of screen.. BAM, it reappears - collect the eggs until you have 99 lives) Just a damn shame you couldn't save your game, with breaks it took me about 8hrs to finish it. Ending was crap though.

Chard3527d ago

I remember vividly. They must have had really bad quality control to not allow a save function. I was certain I was missing something and there was some building that would allow me to save, but no. The game was good but I never finished it. I also remember watching the ending on youtube only to realise that it was literally the intro played in reverse!

Lies! The light gun arcade game was fun

Every Jurassic Park Game Ranked From Worst To Best

BLG writes: "In 1993 Steven Spielberg took Michael Crichton’s novel about a dinosaur theme park and turned it into a cinema masterpiece. And ever since then every developer from Konami to Telltale has tried to make the films into a video game. The developers were so concerned with whether or not they could, they never stopped to consider whether they should. Welcome to every Jurassic Park Game ever made ranked from worst to best."

Dinosaurs once ruled the 🌎

ZeekQuattro633d ago

It's funny I was a big dinosaur fan as a kid but I only ever played JP 1 (NES), JP II (SNES) and JP Rampage Edition (Genesis). I really liked Rampage Edition as you got to play a raptor trying to escape the Island.

sourOG633d ago

I really enjoyed the evolution games. I platinumed both but I never got the dlc. That’s the planet coaster studio if I’m not mistaken. They are awesome, they brought that shit to consoles in a competent way. As a Jurassic park fan and a sim building fan it was a perfect match. Does anyone know if planet zoo if ever coming to consoles?

Profchaos633d ago

When I was a kid I saved up and brought the lost world game on PS1 all I ever wanted was to be a Trex let lose on the city like the end of the movie but man that difficulty I never made it past the 2nd level

ANIALATOR136632d ago (Edited 632d ago )

Back then with there being no Internet, you needed the codes to access the levels too. And if you didn't have them, you could always keep inputting nonsense into the search until something came up. I remember once inputting the right code for the t rex level but since I didn't write it down, I couldn't play it again when I died. These days it's nothing though to go back and play what you want, when you want.

Jurassic Park Sega CD wasn't even mentioned, so this list isn't "Every". Actually a pretty bad game, but I loved it because I was a JP obsessed kid! XD

It's a billion dollar franchise. Nuff said.

It's my guilty pleasure in life. I'm responding to you right now while wearing a Jurassic Park hoodie. I absolutely love the property

Nice. Can’t wait to ride the new Jurassic world roller coaster later this year.
