The Lost World: Jurassic Park

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.

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?

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.
