   Jurassic World Evolution is an amazing tycoon style game which allows you to build and run your own dinosaur park. This game can’t be comparedJurassic World Evolution is an amazing tycoon style game which allows you to build and run your own dinosaur park. This game can’t be compared with other tycoon games, except Jurassic Park Genesis, as it includes weather difficulties and the threat of dinosaurs breaking free when agitated. This game gives a good overview of the Jurassic film series as making a dinosaur park is a very big task and never goes the way you want it to go.
   
   I never personally played Jurassic Park Genesis, but Jurassic World Evolution out did it with the amazing graphics and the amount of realism that is put into a dinosaur park (but then again Jurassic Park Genesis release date was 2003 so it is much older compare to the Jurassic World Evolution)
   
   The game always needs thoughtful thinking and eliminating obstructions along the way. It really gets you thinking what way is the more efficient but also successful towards the visitors.
   
   Frontier Developments have made or took part in the make of a few tycoon games, one being the Zoo Tycoon, but never did they make a dinosaur park tycoon, and they did an amazing job.
   
   The story behind it is very simple and nothing too complicated if you have seen all the Jurassic Parks and Worlds. You are requested to build functional parks throughout the four islands you are given, with money income coming in. You are given some basic starts on islands, or you must figure out how to go from negative profit back into the positive. As you progress with your star rating of your island, you can unlock further islands and unlock dinosaurs.
   
   The tutorial is very clear and shows you where everything is and how everything works so you can get into the game very quickly. There are shortcuts to most functions to make everything faster and easier. The more you play, the quicker you get with management and multitasking in the game.
   
   The game wants you to make a successful park, and what really is the most complex part is the electrical system which you must make efficient for everything requiring electricity work. I personally don’t find this too much of a problem to sort out, but I have seen some people struggle with it. A nice touch of failing and successful incubations really mimics the real life as not always everything works out as planned and fail. You must have 50% genome to start incubating a new breed of dinosaur, but it also means that there is 50% chance of failure in the incubation. As you add genetic modifications onto a specific breed, the chances of success falls depending on the modification. It is annoying, especially when an expensive breed fails near the beginning of the game while you still try to make a sustainable income, but it does give the reality problems and issues that there are when genetically modifying a specie.
   
   Everything in the game costs money such as, fixing fences, tranquilizing, feeding, removing/adding trees and water, and all other facilities and viewing galleries. This game really makes you think what is more important and where the money should go to make your park more successful.
   
   The graphics are amazing, and the dinosaurs are very detailed which give you the feeling of bringing them back to life and giving them another chance to roam the Earth. There is the small disappointed of similar sized dinosaurs having the same animation, such as the medium carnivores and relative herbivores. However, some have their own unique animations.
   
   There isn’t much character development because of this being a strategy and management style game but you get a few characters from the films, such as Owen, Clair, Ian and Doctor Henry. The three categories, Security, Entertainment and Science, gives you three personalities which might make you favour one more than the other.
   
   The sound track in the background really puts you in the Jurassic World mood. The sound effects of roars, hitting, crunching and vehicles are very good too, nearly all dinosaurs with their unique roars and sounds.
   
   The game isn’t cheap, but it does give you a lot of equipment, facilities and dinosaurs to make our own park and you don’t have to spend any more money on it. There is an option of spending £10 on five extra dinosaurs, but it isn’t a must because you aren’t missing out on much to be honest. In my opinion, I think for the price that is sells for, it is worth the money.… Expand

The idea to turn a Jurassic World game into a tycoon wasn't the most original, but they took that idea to a new level. It can be tough at times, but it isn't too tough that it's stressful. Most movie-based games just carbon copy the movies, but the creators of this went above and beyond to make it a unique and original game, while still drawing nostalgia from the movies. I recommend it for any Jurassic World fan who can get it.… Expand
