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.
