Telltale's Jurassic Park: The Game was a pretty good little tale to wrap up some loose ends from the original movie. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
i played the SHIT out of this on my ipad when i had dinosaur autism
The worst telltale game i played
It would've made a better two hour movie than eight hour game. I mean seriously, this game is a slog to get through but is carried by a somewhat decent story in a beloved ip.
It was fun to play in the world of the Jurassic Park IP, but I would honestly just play LEGO Jurassic World if you're looking to do that. This game is buggy, it doesn't look great, and it kind of just goes through the motions of everything that makes the movies great. Not really worth your time.
Na minha opinião é um clássico da Telltale, eu particularmente acho um bom jogo.
While I love the story and writing here, as well as some truly scary and tense moments throughout, this is easily Telltale Games' worst game. It's buggy, the art style is ugly, and it has input lag on the console versions.

Great romp through a TellTale touch on a childhood classic. Needs a Sequel with RTX on graphics!
Shelved for now since 2015. We'll see when the time comes maybe I'll give it another go.
It's a telltale game. You know what you're getting. But it's also dinosaurs, and I found it more enjoyable than I thought I would.
#beat Telltale's Jurassic Park
No doubt another entertaining entry into Telltale's collection of narrative focused video games. The game adds alot to the world of the original movie while still maintaining an interesting story. Technically, the game leaves much to be desired. Quicktime events are unfair more often than not but at least don't always halt progression. The game also held a few audio and control glitches here and there and could definitely have used more polishing before release. An okay game, gets alot better with the addition of Dinosaurs.
Finalmente terminei este jogo hoje. Esteve parado durante muito tempo por vários motivos, não me cativou o suficiente para continuar a jogá-lo mais de seguida, obriguei-me a termina-lo só para o despachar.
The world of the films is portrayed very accurately, but that’s pretty much all this game has going for it. Pretty dull characters and story tbh, the puzzles aren’t that interesting and while the voice acting is good it doesn’t really offer much excitement or motivation to finish. Typical TellTale Games’ technical issues hamper the frame rate and the game stutters at many points (probably not helped by the more realistic lighting and character designs).
Jurassic Park: The Game is essentially: JURASSIC PARK - THE PRE-SEQUEL, taking place during and after Jurassic Park 1.
The game is essentially made to answer a question left by the original movie, that being what happened to the Dinosaur embryos stolen and later lost by Dennis Nedry.
Now obviously most of us just assumed, "the capsules expired and thats that."
But apparently no, because this game exists to answer these questions.
Now the issue is to ask whether or not this can be considered canon to the movies. If you want to consider this possible you can as theres evidence stacked for it, but also against it.
It's sort of a 3 way cross roads, best way to look at it would be to look at 3 different possibilities based on your preferences of movies:
1. You like Jurassic Park only (Not the sequels nor Jurassic World) - then noncanon as mentioning Sarah Harding would be pointless Jurassic Park Lost World makes this noncanon.
2. You Like the Original Trilogy - Yes this can be canon because Sarah Harding existing in the second movie and this game slots into an area to where the canon works and flows fine.
3. You Like Jurassic Park and Jurassic World Trilogy - Canon don't really need to explain, it doesn't contradict anything that happens in this area.
(Reason I mention Sarah Harding is because in this game the main characters are Dr Gerry Harding and Jessica Harding, who are family members of Sarah, with Gerry being her father and Jess being her half sister.)
The story of the game is broken up into 5 episodes, essentially breaking the experience up in that typical TELLTALES style.
This essentially is just like BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE GAME however not as good.
Back to the Future The Game felt like a nice edition and feels it can slot perfectly into the BTTF franchise as it takes place after PART 3, this just feels like its tacked on to answer a question most audiences assumed the answer to already.
It's sort of like answering the question in the movie Se7en, where they directly tell you what's in the box and most audiences know as well (except for morons who say "WELL THEY DIDN'T SHOW IT" even though they LITERALLY said it).
And instead they make a game about SE7EN where they explain that inside the box was an ass instead of a head.
The game has characters who essentially are trying to survive the current and post events of the first film.
Dr Gerry and Jessica are the protagonist and are father and daughter. Gerry is considered a father who's never there, while Jessica is just a typical teenager, though she can be very sweet and likable.
There's Nima, whos a mercenary hired to find the Embryos with Miles Chadwick and to see what happened to Dennis Nedry. She's doing this all to gain money and save her daughter from poverty. The reason she's in proverty is because Nima is actually a member of a tribe who was on the island before InGen took it over and forced the people out.
Billy Yoder who is a InGen Mercenary hired to save the hardings, professor Sorkin, and Nima with the help of his mercenary friend Oscar. He is killed during the final episode when his greed gets the best of him after going crazy when Oscar dies. This gets him killed by the T-rex.
Oscar Morales is an InGen Mercenary who was apart of the same mercs who removed Nima's tribe from the island originally, Nima despises him. Oscar has a final chance to atone for his sins by saving the group by allowing himself to be attacked by velociraptors.
Dr Sorkin - Scientist who was actually suppose to be the head of the scientific division of Jurassic Park. Essentially she wanted to use the complete DNA of the Dinosaurs in order to bring back proper ones, instead of replacing the DNA with something else. If you know Jurassic Park, you'll know that Dr. Henry Wu used frog DNA instead of the complete DNA, and the reason why the dinosaurs end up laying eggs is because Frogs can go through a process protogyny.
(protogyny- The condition in which an organism begins life as a female and then changes into a male.)
Dr Sorkin wants to protect the dinosaurs and island however attempts to screw over the group, and for her reward she gets killed by a Tylosaurus (giant water dino).
The story reveals that the embryos are intacted and the entire game is essentially the group attempting to get help off the island.
We find out... SURPRISE... or I guess surprise? Dennis Nedry is... dead. I mean we all knew, though I loved the idea the actor for Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) had for Jurassic World:
"It was small dinosaur and a big meal."
His Idea essentially was Nedry survived his attack and he essentially had lost an eye and an arm, and would have an eye patch. Sadly we never got this glorious idea.
Anyway the group consists of Gerry, Jessica, Nima, Billy, and Oscar as they find ways to get off the island. They meet Laura Sorkin who tells them some backstory and information and how some of the deaths of the mercs sent with Billy and Oscar were her fault. Oscar sacrifices himself to save the group. Sorkin dies by the very things she was attempting to protect. And Billy dies during the final portions of the game, where the group is about to get on a boat to escape only for Billy to turn crazy after Oscars death and threaten Gerry, Jess, and Nima. A T-rex shows up and Gerry kicks the barbasol embryo can into the edge of the ocean, Billy chases after it only for the T-Rex to kill him. The embryos are fine until you have to make a POINTLESS decision to either have Nima attempt to get the embryos or let the Trex step on the embryo.
If you choose to save the embryos... CONGRATS Nima dies and the embryos expire. Not only that the game ends with Gerry saying that "Theres a little girl we're going to visit." (implying he's probably going to adopt Nima's Daughter.)
If you choose to let the embryos get destroyed... congrats Nima, Gerry, and Jess all get off the island, Nima sad that she would have any money to help her daughter... except Jess finds in the back of the boat a bag of money... SO WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU EVER CHOOSE THE BAD ENDING.
Unless you don't like the character of Nima.
The Telltale has this formula that to this day is in my opinion a detriment to their episodic style as most of things that happen within the game, your choices and decisions in the long run don't mean anything other than "a character will remember that" or something you did previously in a previous episode will come back to help or haunt you. However here, they legit don't matter other than if you want to see Nima Die or not. Jess nor Gerry can every CANONICALLY die in the game, as there are many quicktime events where they can die. And characters who are SUPPOSE TO DIE are only allowed canonically to die within what TELLTALE wants them to die to.
Even though this is an early TELLTALE Game this is a flaw that continued for most of their games even though they did improve with it.
I think games that did the decision system better was Detroit Become Human, Until Dawn, Heavy Rain, and Mass Effect (1 and 2, not Vanilla 3). As the narrative continues even with the death of a main character.
Still though it's fine for what it is. Nothing special though, not as good as BTTF nor anywhere near WOLF AMONG US or WALKING DEAD.

Poor story and few dinosaurs
Como juego (incluso de la propia Telltale) es de los más flojos y con menos impacto tienen nuestras decisiones de todo su catalogo, además de ser incluso más limitado que The Walking Dead (ni si quiera podemos movernos libremente) y tener demasiados puentes rotos para generar tension en momentos concretos, alargando momentos que no eran necesarios de ser alargados ya sea con puzzles o jugar al Simon Dice.
Pero como historia es otra cosa; es la secuela más digna de Jurassic Park, incluso a fecha de esta reseña (Jurassic World Dominion). El elenco de personajes es muy identificable y, pese a que cuenten con momentos donde sean molestos o directamente quieras verles morir, pueden llegar a ser entrañables, más que cualquier protagonista posterior a la primera pelicula. Y si bien, la historia sigue teniendo la misma estructura que la trilogía clasica, al menos responden preguntas que la primera nos dejó sin responder y supo expandir mucho más del Parque Jurasico original, tanto en zonas como en nuevas especies de dinosaurios, que no volveriamos a ver hasta Jurassic World en 2015, además de contar con momentos iconicos propios que lo hacen más memorable que incluso El Mundo Perdido sabiendo crear momentos de tension bien llevados y que solo veriamos aquí.
Conclusion: si eres fan de Jurassic Park, esta es la secuela que mereces despues de todo el bodrio que está siendo Jurassic World. Y si no es así, no creo que te vayas a encontrar un gran juego.

This game is divided by episodes, like most of the Telltale games. This is not based on the movie's main story, but it is like a side/parallel story after the incidents of the first Jurassic Park movie. For those who like interactive games with quick-time events and Point & Click, this is a good game. Each phase of the episodes can be completed with Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals, depending on your performance.
Man what a boring game.. I really wanted to like this since I love the Jurassic franchise & Telltale but it's just unbelievably... boring. There's nothing else to say about it really.. I don't even know if I can call it a game it's just cutscenes and obnoxiously long and annoying QTE sequences. I stopped at the roller coaster puzzle cause I felt like it was just not worth it, game wasn't poking my brain in the right places. The dino models are cute tho.
PS Nima my silly little lesbian (She's a grown woman) she never did anything wrong this is not her fault <3

The game is buggy, the story is cheesy and the characters are annoying sometimes. But it has a lot of tense moments which make the story of this game better than the recent Jurassic World movies.
Not really what I expected. Most of the gameplay boils down to quick time events and the last part people's personalities appear to rapidly alter. However Telltale games have not let the story lacking, the characters are engaging and still had a lot of fun playing it.
Definitely buy if a Jurassic Park and Telltale Game fan, but not for full price.
Edit: The game itself, at least last time I played it (which was quite a long time after the final episode was released) had multiple bugs that popped up in the last few episodes with graphical glitches, but beyond that the rest of the episodes were fairly stable.
I personally quite liked the idea of this side-story to the original Jurassic Park, featuring the contact for the guy who was attempting to steal the genetic material off the island and, well, we all know what happened to him. Side-stories can be very interesting in this universe. Especially after having watched the Netflix series set in Jurassic World. Camp Cretaceous
Can't think up much else to say beyond one of the scientists getting angry when she realises her fellow scientist cut corners using frog DNA, leading to the major issues of the dinosaurs in the first movie as they were meant to be unable to breed, but were now able to from the Frog's ability to change it's own gender.
I still recommend it as a fun experience, but there are far better games out there by the same company so this is one of those kinds of games that are only worth it after a sale.

First Telltale game I ever played. It's not bad. Still playable.
great game
Probably the best Jurassic Park game I've ever had the pleasure to play, if you don't count Lego Jurassic World or the arcade games.

As I usually say, this is an 'okay' game. There is nothing particularly special or too bad about it. It's 'just a game'. I normally enjoy Telltale games and the experience of choice-based games, which is why I wanted to try this game (after playing bigger titles like The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us).
Have to start things off by saying that this game has been in my head for a long ass time now. It started off seing this game on youtube back in 2011 but unable to play it. Loving the movies this was an amazing game to me. 2021 bought a ps3 so was able to knock of most childhood games like cod and the Activision James Bond games. But this game was unfurtunatly n/a anywhere, disc or psn. Uppsetting of course.
Fast forward to current year when a friend told me about Steam Unlocked, a pirating site. It worked so smooth I had to try it and what do you know, they had this beauty. Donloaded instantly and finished over night, with a big smile on my face and tears of joy in the end. I had finally finished the game I had had on my mind for over ten years. Years of rewatching let's plays and the movies.
I can't do anything but love this game, would love to have it legit but yk telltale is dying.
5/5 rating
(I understand the hate this game has gotten, and I understand the points behind it, but I love it, story and gameplay)

I actually didn't mind the story however the performance issues on PS3 are inexcusable, and will cause you to fail QTE's.
Jurassic park The game é tipo: *Aparece T-Rex
Vc tem 3 escolhas:
1-Fugir
2-Aturar sua filha adolescente de merda
3-Ajudar uma gostosa q quase te matou

This is the worst kind of multiple-choice games. The Story is that a father and daughter are trapped inside the park during the first movie, and yet Hammond doesn't have anyone check on them like the characters from the first film and try to escape well the people that paid Dennis Nedry to steal embryos send 2 other people to get them, this story is told in a not interesting way, with them just trying to get off the island and a last minute villain who goes crazy from the death of their partners death. The Characters are nothing to be impressed about outside of their character type, except for when they annoy you from bad behavior and not suffering any repercussions for them, especially the hippie doctor, hoe does an animal rights activist get a job watching over captured dinosaurs, that's garbage writing. The Graphics are not bad, they look appealing helped by its Telltale's art style, but the models can get emotionless during certain parts, and animations can look a bit off since this was made during the early era of Telltale games. The Gameplay is the same as the other Telltales games, but with 4 episodes, and the choices don't matter at all, there aren't any big choices in the moment except for 1 during the ending which doesn't even make sense, cause Nima was given a choice to abandon a dad and his daughter to help her own with the embryos, but she turns it down and gets trapped with them, yet they make that choice again, despite the fact that if she didn't choose it before than there's no reason to do that now, and all that changes is whether or not Nima dies, and as a game developer iconic for multiple choice options, having no big choices until the end is insulting from them. Voice Acting is not the best, they aren't distracting, but they are not better than what you imagine, nothing to be impressed by. Music is
Sounds are fine, the sound of the dinosaurs are the best, but sometimes sound cuts out. Jurassic Park is a game that is so badly made, that you would not believe that a game they made the very next year would win Game of the Year.
