  • story5 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with players noting that while there are numerous choices, the main narrative feels superficial and underdeveloped. Missions often fail due to unclear objectives, and the campaigns, particularly those tied to the Jurassic Park franchise, are described as short and simplistic, failing to engage players or adequately prepare them for more challenging gameplay. Overall, the narrative serves more as a placeholder than a compelling storyline.

    • “They also give you a lot of options and choices regarding the main story, and in other words, I think it's very well done.”
    • “Some of the main story and chaos theory campaigns, especially the one based on Jurassic Park 3, are also very short and simple, not really preparing you for the specifications and difficulties of other modes or immersing you in plot points from the films.”
    • “The 'main story' isn't really that; it's just a scant bit of surface-level filler to try and tide players over until JW: Dominion comes out.”
    • “Game fails you on missions on aspects that it never mentioned was a goal or parameter in the first place.”
    • “The very first mission starts to guide you and then just gives up halfway through, leaving you alone to figure out how to upgrade scientists and your facilities.”
    • “Some of the main story and chaos theory campaigns, especially the one based on Jurassic Park 3, are very short and simple, not really preparing you for the specifications and difficulties of other modes or immersing you in plot points from the films.”
  • stability5 mentions

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with players reporting numerous glitches, freezing issues, and overall poor performance that detracts from the experience.

    • “The campaign was not completed due to too many glitches and other issues.”
    • “I'm left with a game that, while good, shouldn't have made it past beta just for the glitches alone.”
    • “The game chugs through memory, which is why I'm assuming it freezes so often.”
  • graphics4 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their creativity and realism, with many users noting the clear visuals and good design. However, some players feel that certain elements, particularly foliage textures, could use improvement to enhance the overall quality.

    • “This game is very fun; lots of creativity and very good graphics and designs that make everything look real.”
    • “Clear picture and great graphics.”
    • “Graphics are very decent, just like in the first game.”
    • “For one, the graphics could be very much improved, specifically regarding foliage textures, which look very obviously digital up close.”
  • gameplay2 mentions

    The gameplay is immersive and engaging, particularly for fans of dinosaurs, with strong elements like voice acting and a variety of species to interact with. However, some users feel that the game attempts to incorporate too many features, leading to a need for improved mechanics.

    • “Not the fault of the disc, but they are trying to do too much in one game; it needs better mechanics.”
    • “The only reason I rate this game as highly as I do is that, again, I love dinosaurs, and what the game does well, it does very well, like voice acting, lots of different species to excavate or capture, and the overall gameplay system, which really immerses me in the position of a park manager.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Players express frustration with the game's restrictive building mechanics, which can detract from the emotional investment in creating their ideal environments. This limitation can lead to feelings of disappointment and hinder the overall immersive experience.

In contrast, other characters, such as Cabot Finch, deliver self-absorbed lines that are perceived as genuinely funny, highlighting a disparity in the effectiveness of the humor across different characters.

    • “The humor in this game is spot on, with witty dialogue that keeps you chuckling throughout the adventure.”
    • “I love how the characters have such a playful banter; it really adds to the overall enjoyment and makes the experience memorable.”
    • “The comedic timing in the cutscenes is fantastic, making even the most serious moments feel light-hearted and fun.”
