Jurassic Park: The Game

[h2]Life, uh... finds a way to disappear from Steam.[/h2] Point and click adventure game with quick-time events. It's very similar to Telltale's The Walking Dead series in terms of gameplay. Unfortunately, this isn't one of Telltale's best games, but it's still a decent one. It just doesn't reach the same heights as many of their other titles. The story isn't quite as engaging as I'd hoped, but the world and overall presentation do a good job of capturing the feel of Jurassic Park. It almost feels like playing through a Jurassic Park cartoon. I enjoyed my time with it. ...Oh dang, I just realized this game isn't even on Steam anymore. I'm going to take a wild guess and say the licensing rights expired. Hopefully the new Telltale can get the rights back someday and give it the remaster treatment, but that's probably a gigantic PITA. Oh well. Here's my review anyhoo.

I don't write many reviews, however I feel this diamond in the rough deserves some praise. By now most of us are privy to the world that is telltale games, and all though this is another entry in that list, it is one of the first. Just like The Wolf Among us, this game is worth a play! It fiils in some crucial gaps and uncaptured areas from the original Jurassic Park film, it still retains a lot of that old school charm that we all know and love. If you can spare the money and the less than 10 hours it takes to finish this game, I say GO for it!

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.

It's a good thing you can't buy this game on Steam any longer. I'd say this has not aged well, but I think this would have been classified as jank right after it got released. The writing must have been done by a 12 year old. There's hardly any depth and the quips and jokes are pretty lame all throughout. Animation is stiff and limbs and weapons are stuck in weird poses sometimes. The quick-time events are borderline impossible to do correctly the first time, because of how fast you have to follow them and when there are scenes where the camera changes in quick-time events the game stutters making it even harder to push the right buttons. The worst thing is that the game sometimes just kind of soft crashes back to the menu half way or almost at the end of an episode, making you repeat the whole thing, because you can't save manually ... and you can't skip dialog. Please do yourself a favor and just skip this game. It made me angry more time than I could count and I didn't enjoy playing it much. It deserves the negative reviews. It's a mess.

It was pretty good

Simple but fun
