Jurassic Park : The Game

Jurassic Park: The Game PC Review

Telltale Games is making a big multiplatform push with Jurassic Park: The Game, simultaneously launching on Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS. After playing through the four-episode, roughly 10-hour adventure on PC, one thing stood out: Jurassic Park feels like a game meant to be played on another platform -- specifically the touchscreen-controlled iPad. It's well written, ties in perfectly with the film franchise, and offers some truly frantic T-Rex-infused moments, but clunky controls and a few annoying bugs derail the interactive cinematic experience on PC. "...The greatest strength of Jurassic Park: The Game is its writing, and Telltale has outdone itself with characters that develop along with the Lombard Street-like twists and turns of the storyline." In Jurassic Park: The Game, players return to the ill-fated Isla Nublar to experience the events portrayed in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film from the perspective of a handful of new characters. Remember that dino-embryo-packed Barbasol can Newman (actor Wayne Knight playing Biosyn spy Dennis Nedry) tried to escape the island with? You're still trying to get it as Newman's back-up plan, a merc named Nima.
