    The story of "Lego Jurassic World" effectively retells the plots of the first four Jurassic Park films, blending humor with iconic scenes, and is generally well-received for its nostalgic value. While the game features enjoyable moments and voice acting from the original cast, some players find the missions repetitive and the overall gameplay can be hindered by bugs and glitches. Despite these issues, the game remains a fun experience, especially for fans of the franchise, offering a light-hearted and child-friendly adaptation of the beloved movies.

    • “A classic, old-school LEGO game, the story, levels, and characters fit the movies perfectly.”
    • “The story in this game was mostly enjoyable; it was a pleasure to see iconic moments from the films and replay them as LEGO minifigures.”
    • “This is the perfect LEGO game for Jurassic Park fans and for kids who love dinosaurs. It brings the whole story of the first three movies and the first Jurassic World movie with tons of humor.”
    • “The gameplay felt quite clunky a lot of the time and the story was just too much of a representation of the movie when I think I was hoping for more.”
    • “The story is re-worked to be kid friendly where no deaths occur and parts are added to increase the length via gameplay puzzles.”
    • “Unlike the movie though, it gets boring, confusing and repetitive as the story (from the original Jurassic Park at least) is chopped up in different places to speed up the main story, but leaves any sense of drama or tension out of the game.”

    • “This game is a funny, parody-like take on the first four movies.”

    • “To top a good story and really good gameplay, this game also has a really good soundtrack.”

    • “Which is a shame because the music was way louder over everything else many times.”

  • emotional12 mentions
