  1. 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]
  2. It’s a niche game that will only appeal to fans of this genre. If you enjoyed "Zoo Tycoon," you are sure to like JPOR. All others who are interested should rent first.
  3. The game is pretty slow-paced and outside of the few mentioned action sequences, is almost devoid of any visceral attributes that seem so inherent with flesh-eating dinosaurs.
  4. If the developers concentrated on one console version at a time, then maybe there would have been more depth and polish besides the fascinating dinosaurs.

    Flying the chopper is fun, driving the jeep is more fun because you can see the dinosauers at ground level, watching the dinosaurs eating, hunting, playing is nice. Graphics are nice. This is a fun game to play. Expand
