The graphics of the game are widely praised for their high quality and realism, with many users noting that they are among the best seen in mobile games. Players appreciate the detailed animations and vibrant visuals that enhance the overall experience, although some report issues with lag and crashes that detract from gameplay. While the graphics are generally well-received, there are calls for optimization options to accommodate lower-end devices and reduce performance issues.
“The graphics are incredible all around; good job to the creators.”
“The graphics are amazing and I love how it shows you dinosaurs that you probably didn't know before starting the game.”
“The graphics are stunning and I like that it gives you facts about the dinosaurs whenever you level one up.”
“The game is somewhat enjoyable to play at the moment, until you have random server crashes every time you exit a match or open a card pack, which is super annoying... also the graphics seem to render from high to low quality by itself at times, making the game lag, which makes things like creature containment even harder to do.”
“The graphics could use a little work, but overall an excellent game.”
“The graphics are bad and there are too many microtransactions.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and glitches that disrupt gameplay. Players express frustration over losing progress and resources due to these issues, often requiring them to restart the app multiple times. While some users note improvements after updates, the overall consensus is that the game remains too buggy, making it difficult to enjoy fully.
“No errors, no glitches, just perfect.”
“Great, no ads, no glitches.”
“There are no glitches, no bugs.”
“Is what I would be saying if it wasn't so glitchy 🙄 nearly every time I watch a video to continue to a battle the game glitches and sends me back to the loading screen... after doing this a few times I get fed up and end up having to use my valuable resources to pay for the battle instead 😩 also the sound cuts out from time to time, maybe there's too much going on for the emulator.”
“I really love the game but it keeps on crashing. I was in the middle of a battle and it just kicked me out for no reason. Another thing is that it's so glitchy and slow; the FPS is terrible. I can barely move around without it lagging, and another thing is the prize wheel. Sometimes I spin the prize wheel and then it freezes the game and then I get kicked out, and sometimes I don't get my reward. Other times I do. Please fix this; this is a great game, it's just got a lot of bugs and glitches.”
“I love this game but the game constantly glitches out/crashes. Every time I try to fight in an event it glitches and kicks me out of the game.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and frequent crashes that occur when attempting to watch them for rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads to speed up gameplay or earn in-game currency, others feel that the game heavily pushes microtransactions, making it feel like a cash grab. Overall, players are divided on whether the monetization strategy enhances or detracts from their gaming experience, with many calling for improvements to ad functionality and a reduction in the reliance on in-app purchases.
“In-app purchases exist, but you can play the game quite easily without them and still have fun.”
“Basically no ads unless you want to watch some for more points/money/DNA, etc. You don't need to spend any real money to get good stuff.”
“Your monetization aspects are there, of course, but you can ignore them if you want and still make a good bit of progress.”
“The game crashes all the time due to too many pop-ups, ads, and other ways to push their rip-off service.”
“It's a great game, but I keep getting kicked out from the server for no reason. It crashes randomly, and when I play ads, once they're finished, it becomes a 50 out of 50 chance of crashing or receiving the reward.”
“This game is purely a cash grab and offers no extension to the Jurassic Park universe.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over frequent crashes that occur during gameplay, often accompanied by audio issues such as music cutting out or continuing to play even after the game has closed.

Overall, the music aspect is hindered by technical problems, detracting from the overall gaming experience.

“Love the game, graphics and music is good the only problem is I need an update but there were none; it said only open and uninstall.”
“Perfect graphics; the only thing wrong is the music except for the fighting music. The aquatic music is really cool, but the land habitats music is weird.”
“I can still hear the music and sound effects, but the game freezes and stops working.”
“I love the game, but after I hit park level 15, the game is barely playable. At every menu, the game freezes, the icons blackout, and even after I close the game, the music still plays. I have to open and close the app five times just to get to the battle menu, then it freezes again.”
“Originally, it was a fun game, but then it started crashing all the time. You cannot listen to music while playing as it auto pauses, and there is no setting I can find to turn it off.”

“This is an amazing game, but one thing that really hurts me is I have an iPad with 4 years of Jurassic World progress, and I keep trying to go to the events, and it just kicks me out of the game. It made me cry after 4 years, and it won't even let me battle.”
“The best dinosaur game ever made! It made me feel happy when I play it, and it is so easy to get dinosaurs and evolve them to level 40.”
“Really good, but when I went on battle stage 8, I didn't get Carnotaurus, one of my favorites, and I cried for so long. I don't want to delete this to go back to being a noob because I've got great dinosaurs. Please fix this!”
