If in Heavy Rain you could bend the storyline, here in JP: The Game, you can only dent it.

User Rating: 7.5 | Jurassic Park: The Game PC
There is not much to tell about Jurassic Park: The Game. Unlike other games, there is no plethora of features to list down. Essentially, it picks up where the first movie left off. You should be warned though that you will not be seeing any recognisable face. It is a story with an entirely new cast of characters who, I believe, are quite likeable (Just not at first sight). As well you should know that it already includes all four episodes, this being the result of a late release.

As with other Telltale games, it is an adventure game. It is worth noting, however, that the game company forwent their traditional approach to the genre. Instead, gamers will play the game from a 'director-style' point of view. Whether it works well or not, I am still unsure. The problems I encountered with this game does not seem to stem from this new addition. First of all, I found that the difficulty of the QTEs were uneven and sometimes frustrating. Yet because this game rarely, if ever, punishes the gamers for their mistakes, I decided to describe the game as 'Easy' despite the fact that the game would not register my input at times. Nevertheless, this problem may have arisen because I was playing on my relatively modest laptop. Secondly, I feel that Telltale Games could have followed Heavy Rain's steps more closely. I believe that branching storylines would have considerably raised its quality but the absence thereof is totally understandable, given what I think is a relatively low budget. In any case, the other aspects of the game are better. the story is enjoyable enough and although certainly not as interesting as that of the original movie, I personally think it fared better than the second and third. As far as I can tell, the voice-acting is very good but the facial animations can be jarring to some people. The game does start off slowly but it quickly picks up the pace. Character development is also handled rather well, if oddly at times.

If you are a Jurassic Park fan who is not afraid of touring Isla Nublar again though different shades, I highly recommend this game. If, on the other hand, you are a Jurassic Park fan who is strongly attached to old memories and is not willing to risk spoiling a classic I would recommend watching YouTube videos to get a clearer picture first.
