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.”

- “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.”
