Jurassic Park: The Game

Sharing my walkthrough: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL957yPFpIoy_k727MJHsyRIH8RsttzV7Z&si=rEf1xdXeWlkg2OXC Summary: Jurassic Park: The Game is a cinematic adventure game developed by Telltale Games, set during the events of the original Jurassic Park film. The story follows a group of new characters trapped on Isla Nublar after the park's security systems fail and the dinosaurs escape. As they attempt to survive and find a way off the island, they become caught up in a dangerous situation involving a canister containing dinosaur embryos that was lost during the park's original evacuation. Gameplay focuses on exploration, dialogue, quick-time events, environmental puzzles, and cinematic sequences rather than traditional combat. Players control different characters throughout the four-episode story, making decisions during conversations and reacting quickly to dangerous situations involving dinosaurs such as Velociraptors and the Tyrannosaurus rex. The game expands on the events of the original film while introducing new locations, characters, and connections to the Jurassic Park storyline. Its emphasis on suspense, scripted action, and interactive storytelling gives Jurassic…

I recently went through a playthrough of the game and I think a lot of people take for granted the story that's being told, especially in consideration of what the new Jurassic world films are like. If you can get a hold of this game, I'd 100% recommend to give it a try and to have some fun with it. The story is a really nice expansion of the Jurassic Park 1 (Which the Game has become weirdly "Soft-canon" now) and I think that most people will come to enjoy it, especially if you're a fan of the Jurassic park films. I do feel that you have to already have seen the film and at least enjoyed it to be playing the game. There is only one big problem with the game, it has 100% Aged. Most games from the 2000s and very early 2010s can age pretty nicely but this one has really aged poorly with its animations, but if you can get besides that, then its a solid game and a really nice expansion of the JP world before Jurassic World came out in 2015.

I like this.

Welcome to the Jurassic world of dinosaurs. Early days of telltale games where the episodic prowess started. Nice story and definitely Recommended!!!

100% Complete | 13h at review | De-listed Jurassic Park: The Game is a fun expansion on the original film, giving us a chance to explore more of the park and see areas that weren't featured in the movie. The atmosphere and settings capture the Jurassic Park feel nicely, while the story adds some interesting ideas to the original events. The characters are a bit more hit and miss, with some falling into familiar tropes rather than getting much deeper character development. The 100% was pretty straightforward and took me around 13 hours, although it could easily be completed much quicker. It's a shame that Telltale's shutdown ultimately led to the game being delisted, as I'd personally love to give it another chance. A remake with modern graphics, an expanded story and more developed characters could make for a fantastic Jurassic Park experience. For what it is, though, it's an enjoyable little trip back to the park.

I'm a fan of Tell Tale's The Walking Dead and later narrative adventure games so I expected this to be similar fair. Unfortunately, the gameplay is overwhelmingly QTE based and dialogue is more a means to puzzle resolution than a way to influence the flow of the narrative. I forced my way through episode 1 because I was at least intrigued by the plot hooks. Spoilers for the beginning of episode 2 if you care. ... In the opening of episode 2, the company mercenary crew display such a shocking lack of competence or professionalism in the face of both each other and what I believe are compsognathus, or compies,of book fame, that it put the final nail in the coffin. I'm not a fan of QTEs at the best of times, but this game is made of them and the moment the narrative stopped entertaining me I lost any incentive to finish it. Your mileage may vary.
