I Don't Like Jurassic Park: The Game... and Not For The Reasons You Think

Andrew doesn't like this game

Fun fact, Jurassic Park: The Game is 10 years old, which is about the same age as I was when I watched the movie it's based on, 28 years ago! I would later attempt to read the Michael Crichton book and just be bamboozled by technical words because I was 10.

This game is the literal middle child of Telltale Games, before their closure in 2018. It really shows too, as it's not quite as interactive as their earlier titles, but less restrictive than their later ones, and nobody "will remember that". But I'll talk more about the actual gameplay in a bit. Suffice to say, it looks and feels like a Telltale game, audio & graphical glitches and all.

The story of Jurassic Park: The Game begins partway through the movie, with dino veterinarian Gerry and his visiting daughter Jessica mentioning the fact that John Hammond currently has visitors on the island. The storm which leads to the park becoming deadly (sorry, spoilers?) occurs when the mysterious Nima arrives, with a mission to locate Nedry and the Barbasol canister containing dinosaur embryos - and things spiral from there.
