 Great Fun, but a bit monotonous, 2004-07-15
This game is perfect for those who really believe in Jurrasic Park or those who have alot of time on their hands. The graphics are as good as those in the movie and the music is great. There are downsides, though. You can only have a certain amount of dinosaurs (60, I think) and your limited on the diversity. After a while (after you've perfected your park and have 5 stars)there isn't much else to do. That isn't much if you consider the up's of the game. Their is some blood and gore, but it's hard to see. It's no worse than one of Steve Erwin's animal documentaries. The violence isn't bad, either. You see a carnivore attack a herbivore by knocking it over (except raptors, they jump onto thier prey). Basically, if you were able to see the movie, you could play this game. In my opinion, this game is one of the best.

The dinosaurs are: Dryosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Tyrannosaurs Rex, Triceratops, 'Velociraptor', Camarasaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Allosaurus, Albertosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Carcharadontosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Gallimimus, Edmontosaurus, Homalocephale, Ouranosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Styracosaurus, and a Torosaurus. (Might have missed one)Overall, the graphics are stunning beyond all normal human conception, the reactions were believable and there was also some possibly unintended humor (ex: a Pachy could get her tail stuck in the viewing dome door). Sad to say there are no Pterosaurs nor an Iguanodon. There are limited amounts of buildings and fences, but, if you have it for PC, but that can be fixed if edit the game's files (backups=must in case you mess up). Almost never gets boring, though creating a 5-star zoo may take a while, it's great to see the result: cash. Also, there are a few strange things that can occur. In my game, my Carcharadontosaurus protected a herd of mixed herbivores, which included its favorite prey, from everything from a Dilophosaurus to a Spino and Rex themselves. Bonding, isn't it great? Ah, so, yes, worth your time and money indeed. The herbivores defend themselves, and even kill the predators once in a while. Also, all the big carnivores get edgy when a safari ride is on tour: don't make one in a large carni's habitat; it won't last long. Hope this has been of help. If you want an expansion pack, sign:

The Most Frightening, I Mean, Ultimate Theme Park, 2004-06-21
I've played Jurassic Park Operation Genesis where you have to build a 5-star dinosaur park & grow dinosaurs. The PS version only allows you to unlock 3 sites to dig but the PC version allows 4 or 5. I like creating but the game can be annoying with all the emails coming through every 5 seconds to report a problem. I tried turning down the sound so I couldn't hear the urgent messages but if you turn down the sound, something bad could be happening in your park (like a T-Rex becomng enraged & breaking the fence to have your visitors for a mid-morning snack). You need to send your rangers over (or you can fly the copter yourself) to sedate the dinosaur. What a theme park - all your canivores are drugged up most of the time. I don't like fences. Put up Avoidance Beams which emits an electrical sound that repels dinosaurs but found out these beams run on batteries that have to charge so when they are off & charging, that's when the dinosaurs get through. Twice I was fired for poor management. Ingen doesn't like it when you run the park into the ground (lost track of how much money I was spending) and they don't like it when your visitors are being killed by Tornadoes (supposed to build Visitor Shelters to protect your visitors) or dinosaurs eating them (supposed to build fences to protect the visitors-but a high security fence makes it hard to view the dinosaurs). Hey you can't please everybody. Fun game and great learning tool also. Teaches about the different dinosaurs of each period which could spark a child's curiousity to find out further information about dinosaurs. No bones about it - Jurassic Park Operation Genesis is a great game.

Jurassic Fun!, 2004-05-30
Jurassic Park was a great movie and now they have a great video game for it. Watch the T-Rex eat a goat for dinner. When a dino goes mad, jump in the helocopter and put him to sleep YOURSELF! Play fun-filled missions and create the island you want!

This Game Rocks!, 2004-03-19
I really had alot of fun playing this game! It has three sections to play in, 4 if you include the secret site b where you get to just create dinos instead of building a park. You get to take pictures on safaris and fly a helicopter saving the visitors on the main games. I really recomend this game if you enjoyed the movie and there isn't any blood that I can see so it is great for about 9 and up.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!
