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.

A fun and bloody dinosaur game I can at least try.

The Good
I love almost everything about the Jurassic Park games and I really love Dinosaurs. Most Dinosaur games like Turok are rated M which my mom forbids me from playing. This game at least has a T rating and I can enjoy something a lot of kids at school are allowed to play. There are so many cool dinosaurs in the game and playing as some of the best species from the film is even better.

When playing as Deter or Sarah from the film I totally love the weapons that they can use. The Dinosaurs have some very cool moves like the T-rex can throw a dinosaur up into the air after he grabs it with it's mouth and the Raptor is designed to fight like one swift predator.

The game is actually a little better than the film with all those designs of the backgrounds in the jungle and abandoned centers, their is so much beautiful scenery.

Don't forget about the way you can easily access each level.

The Bad
Ok lets try to add a real adventure mode with save rather than just pick a level. Lets have some herbivore dinosaurs from the film be playable.

The Bottom Line
Plenty of fun for Jurassic Park fans. Give it a shot if you're not allowed to play M shooting games. The graphics are quite beautifully done, and nothing in the game looks partially dumb. Give it a go.

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?

Trivia

Packaging

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