    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]

    That sort of overwhelming depth -- the urgency that comes along with rushing to appease every customer's whim, and ensuring that the place is safe and continues to make money -- is the reason why Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis is such a good game.

    Not a bad game for really patient people who love dinosaurs. If you don't fit into those groups then you probably won't like it.

    An enjoyable experience, with attractive graphics, strategic gameplay, and unique features that provide up-close looks at the dinosaurs in action.

    Basically it's Zoo Tycoon ala Jurassic Park. But that's not a bad thing. Really a great idea that is a ton of fun to play. But I do feel they could have done more with it.

    Overall: A good game and a must for Jurassic Park fans.    … Expand
