Jurassic Park III: Park Builder

"Well done Konami"

Well why has nobody tried this before?. I have been waiting to long for a game where I can make and look after my own Jurassic Park. Hasn't everyone wanted to pit their T-rex's against a herd of Raptors to see who the ultimate dinosaur is. The game, I my opinion is absolutely brilliant. The only bad thing about it is the fact that most of the dinosaurs look alike. For example I wanted to put in the three most deadliest dinosaurs in a single paddock. These were the Tyrannosaur, the Spinosaur and the Allosaur. When all three had been placed in the same cage I looked at it and noticed that I could not distinguish the differences between them. Barring this fact it is easy to determine different types of dinosaurs. E.g who could mistake the herd of Raptors from a raging T-rex. I like the way that the Carnivorous dinosaurs attack the fence and the herbivores do not. What makes me laugh is the fact that the ''WATER'' type dinosaurs do not confine themselves to the watery areas designated for them. No they like to venture off and play tag with the nearest T-rex.

The rest of the game on the other hand is remarkable. This sim has been handled excellently and that is why I have given it 9/10

Graphically wise you can not really blame the game boy advance if it isn't that good but the graphics on JP Park builder are good. Maybe the only argument is that it is a bit too colourful and probably needs toning down. 9/10

Gameplay: Genuinely the gameplay is about how long you can stay in business. If park building is a new experience for you then it will be harder and you will not last 5-6 years. Management: this really means that you need to look after the dinosaurs, make sure they don't fight and above all make sure they stay in their pens!!. If they escape your out of business unless you can contain them. 10/10

Sounds: Well the music is annoying but hey why did the gameboy advance receive a sound control. Who really cares about the sounds when the gameplay is what really matters. 7/10

Anyway I hope this hasn't put anybody off buying the game. I ask one question:

If you do not have it, WHY NOT?
