Jurassic Park

"16 mammoth megs of nerve-shredding action!"

Thank you SO much, now we have the classic game to go with the classic movie. This nerve wrenching thrill ride for survival will take you further than you imagined. A lot of people remain skeptical on games based on movies but other than dinosaurs, this is a game you won't have to fear. So buckle your seat belts and prepare for one wild ride.

:Story:

(Like the movie) The basis of the story is pretty much the same. You are on a tropical island which isn't quite your ordinary trip to the zoo. A violent hurricane whips through the dinosaur preserve, unleashing the most dangerous pre-historic beasts known to man. You play as Dr. Alan Grant, and your main goal and concern is survival.

:Gameplay:

The game gives you the option to choose either Dr. Alan Grant or the ferocious Raptor. The gameplay is seriously boosted here in the fact that you have 2 totally different characters in 2 totally different adventures. Both are fantastic and enjoyable gameplay. As Grant you get a lot of cool weapons to help you along in your quest for survival. The nerve shredding action never fails to bring you those moments of terror, just when you thought it was safe again. The game remains challenging and fun to play with those little moments of frustration (The challenge is really well worth it) The controls are great and the game is super fun.

:Graphics/Sounds:

Each level is detailed finely. The worlds of Jurassic Park are alive and colorful. This is yet another game that draws you into the environment. The only thing you really have to watch out for, is your next step. The sounds are new and original, very nice to listen to. The horrid sounds of the T-Rex will make your skin crawl.

:Playtime/Replay Value:

I would say you are in for one challenging adventure. The levels aren't to long but somewhat difficult. We need a game with good challenge and thats what this is all about. The replay value is high due to the option to choose between Grant and the Raptor. And also for the fact that this game is an original classic.

:Final Word:

This Genesis classic is well worth getting. I would recommend you get it right now. Trust me it will NOT be a waste of your time. You will really enjoy it, take my word on that. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you found it useful.

-Happy Gaming!
