Play as characters from the movie and use weapons such as the tranquilizer, rocket launcher, and the shotgun. Featuring music straight out of the movie, many levels and fast gameplay, JURASSIC PARK is back... with bite!

Another one bites... the dust?

The Good
From the outset, this game's main theme was gore, and lots of it.

The menu structure is well thought out and very effective, and the implementation of level passwords may seem slightly old-school, but when your memory card is full of GT3 save files, it's useful. The ability to collect DNA strands as you progress through the game is another nice touch.

The dinosaurs were well modeled, and I am particularly fond of the Compy, but the Rex pretty much won the gore award.

The Bad
The inability to save did mean that I was forced to finish playing each character's story, but some of the levels are quite straightforward, which kind of makes up for it.

The Bottom Line
A pre-historic romp through a jungle, roaring, biting, eating and shooting your way through five different stories. Lizard, anyone?

Impossible.

The Good
Jurassic Park's 2nd movie, "The Lost World" is by far the best in the series. You've got a lot of action, and a lot of fascinating details, and a nice storyline. If only the game offered this...

Well the original idea of telling the story in each persons perspective was very neat. The dinosaurs were authentic and the sounds were very movie-like. The environments were put together nicely, although they were 2D.

The Bad
There's a lot of things not to like about this game. 1st of all, the difficulty level of this game is INSANE. I could not fully complete the 1st level without dying a bunch of times. I had to use the level select cheat to enjoy this game. Another flaw that the others users mention is that there is no save feature on here. It's terrible! I mean, how vexatious it is to have to complete all of these frustrating levels, and then on top of that, not being able to save. Did they expect the player to dedicate their life to The Lost World and have the player beat it in a day? The dinosaur levels were the most irksome. Especially the T-Rex levels. The controls were aggravating and made no sense at all. How can Electronic Arts expect you to actually beat this game? And for beating this game, you get absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. All you get is a crappy minute-long message from Jeff (the actor who played Ian) saying congratulations, you beat the game, go outside and play. What a special reward -__-

Anyway, you'd probably never get to see this sequence unless you master this game and spend your whole life figuring this frustrating game out.

The Bottom Line
The Lost World is frustrating, hard, and extremely boring. You may have fun with the hunter (human) levels but other than that, this game really has no replay value. I'd like to congratulate anyone who beat this game without cheats, bravo. You'll definitely not want to get this game in the series. This is the most terrible game by far, in the Jurassic Park video game series. Although, if you still are interested in a Jurassic Park video game, I suggest you pick up Warpath or Operation Genesis. Or go back to it's older days and get Jurassic Park for the NES or the movie-game for SEGA.

The worst game in history!

The Good
There is almost nothing to like about this game. The only thing that I can think of is the general idea. Wonderful environments, and the sounds are very realistic.

The Bad
Where do I begin? Well, first of all how do you save? I played this game over and over, but I didn't get further than level four on some of the characters. How can one expect to finish this game without the chance to save? Maybe I have overlooked something, but if I have, then please tell me. In addition the controls were difficult to master. For example the T. Rex couldn't run five meters without getting attacked by raptors. You wouldn't think so since the T.Rex is one of the most powerful dinosaurs. In the end I got so angry that I could explode. Other than that the dinosaurs could have been more smoothly made without the sharp edges.

The Bottom Line
If you like the movie very much, then you shouldn't buy this game.

Trivia

Packaging

The United States PlayStation release featured a lenticular lens molded into the case, so the front cover would appear to move.
