Jurassic Park: The Game
Jurassic Park: The GameJurassic Park: The Game
Available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, iPad
Game Developer & Publisher: Telltale Games
Release Date: November 15, 2011
Official website: www.telltalegames.com/jurassicpark

Review summary:
Telltale Games continues the story of the original film in Jurassic Park: The Game.  Utilizing the same tech as their previous games, this quick time event filled adventure has a few thrills, and some frustration thrown in.  Technically, this title just can’t hold up to the demand of a interactive story like Heavy Rain.  As a fan of the Jurassic Park series, the story was worth my time. I found myself caring about hitting the right button rather than seeing the animations and actions of the characters in which I was controlling.  Even at a budget price, Jurassic Park: The Game is a title only for the hardcore fans because it can be a rough ride back to the island.

Game rating:


3.25 out of 5 stars
