Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues

If you've played through and enjoyed "Contra III," waste no time tracking this title down. Theoretically, it could take home the best movie-to-game award for the SNES, but it's not exactly based on a movie. The title is the only thing this game has in common with the feature film. As it stands, this is one of the best action games you'll find for a 16-bit console.

Jurassic Park II: The Chaos Continues doesn't have much in the way of innovation, but it looks and plays just as good as any game of it's kind. So, if you've gone dino-nutty or just love solid dinosaur blasting action, JP II is a fine blast from the past.

Jurassic Park 2 zit naar mijn mening een beetje rammelig in elkaar. Er hangt een typisch luchtje aan van 'laten we snel even iets verzinnen zodat we weer een paar flappen verdienen met het zoveelste platform spel'. Origineel is het in ieder geval niet. Als je originaliteit echt onbelangrijk vindt, dan zal dit spel je wel eventjes bezig houden want het is moeilijk genoeg.

Although JP 2 is fun, you've seen this type of gameplay in a hundred other games; unfortunately, nothing new is added here to improve upon mediocrity. Whether or not you'll have fun depends on how good your excavating skills are.

It's good, but certainly not what I wanted. JP2 has been relegated to the role of a basic run-and-shoot game. While this may appeal to some, it certainly won't bode well with fans of the original adventure-type game, like myself. Another major gripe is the fact after you kill an enemy and leaves the screen, they're back again when you return. On the the good side, the music is great and the number of weapons is a plus.

Yet another tarnished jewel on the Jurassic Park franchise crown has arrived - it's called Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues and we can only hope that this isn't what Steven Spielberg has in mind for the sequel. In this tremendously tedious run-and-shoot game, you travel around the island and perform boring adventures on screens that begin to look a bit too familiar level after level. The graphics are pretty cool, but that doesn't save this game from being a sustained exercise in tedium.
