    Decent sim. The only downside is that it gets boring very quickly. The whole enjoyment comes from building the park. Sure the challenges are a good addition but once you're done with them (which are really easy) it feels like a chore to have to build a park again. Because once you're done, it's just boring. There's nothing exciting or particularly fun to do.

    This is just both AMAZING and AWESOME!! It has a good selection of dinosaurs and i still remember playing this as a kid. Site B is great for Fan Made movies and Dinosaur Documentaries.

    I love this game! It is loads of fun for the csual gamer who enjoys "sim" type games. The Dinos kick and there are a lot of thing you can do. I have become obsessed!

    JP: OG is a decently made simulation game. The gamplay itself is enjoyable; you build your own version of Jurassic park and maintain it, which is always a challenge. However, after a while the gameplay can get repetitive and tedious. Certain elements of the game, such as twisters and other weather aspects can wreck your progress. The game will nonetheless appeal to both avid park simulation fans and dinosaur buffs.… Expand

    Ever wanted to create your own Jurassic Park? Well then this is the game for you! You also get to drive jeeps around the park with the dinosaurs and if there is a problem you have to control a helicopter and snipe dinosaurs from it! The environments are also customisable and you can purposefully allow dinosaurs to escape and watch the carnage enfold!

    Genesis' gameplay would really benefit from more depth: once you get the basic structures in place and the cash starts to roll in, there's little challenge left. [Apr 2003, p.104]

    Takes the theme park genre and injects it with a little dino-fever. The end result is surprisingly entertaining!

    Jurassic has enough open-ended depth to appease "RollerCoaster Tycoon" players, fossil hunters, and anyone looking to bag some big game. [2 May 2003, p.79]
