LEGO Jurassic World Reviews
I would definitely recommend the game if you’re both fan of the Lego series and the Jurassic Park movies.
The name of the game pretty much spells out exactly what you can expect: LEGO Jurassic World. It is the traditional, Travelers' Tale LEGO experience that is becoming all too familiar, set in a Jurassic Park setting. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The game is not without fault. It lacks the polish and scope of some of the previous LEGO games. But if you're a fellow dinosaur nut and eager to indulge in some relaxed puzzle solving, collectible hunting or need to add something new to your Jurassic Park collection, then I'll gladly recommend LEGO Jurassic World. If none of this resonates with you… give it a wide berth.
LEGO Jurassic World has been birthed from the same DNA that the LEGO series has been reliant on for quite some time, and it's doubtful that anyone will be truly awestruck by its attractions. But that doesn't necessarily mean the adventure's not worth embarking upon. Reliving the Jurassic Park films in such a playful manner helps to offset the gameplay and technical disappointments, and the trip down memory lane will likely be enough to keep the biggest dinosaur fans entertained from start to finish. The park can be amusing, but it lacks its usual bite.
Though I have plenty to complain about with LEGO Jurassic World, it's because I have spent the last number of years playing through each of them with family members. Most of my platinum trophies have occurred thanks to LEGO games. Chances are I will be getting a platinum in this one too, as the game functions well enough for me to somehow enjoy myself despite all of its irritations. In both single player and co-op, there's still fun to be had, and most people play the LEGO games for the fun factor. You'll find nothing ground breaking in LEGO Jurassic World, but it is so rushed that I can only recommend looking at one of the many other LEGO games out there unless you're a massive fan of Jurassic Park.
Lego Jurassic World is a joyful, brightly-colored tribute to Jurassic Park that fails to channel the franchise's trademark tension and excitement.
To put it more succinctly: after careful consideration, I've decided to endorse this game.
Lego dinosaurs. If those words get you excited, great - I recommend you look into Lego Jurassic World for a few hours of dumb, mindless collectible-hunting and light puzzle solving. If they don't get you excited, give this one a miss. With this series, it really is that simple.
The game suffers from a lack of truly unique and memorable characters in the source material, though and is one of the more repetitive LEGO titles as well, with limited mechanics popping up repeatedly and a noticeable lack of variety in the Jurassic Park side of the experience.
There's lots of enjoyment to be had here, but it's also cruel reminder that the LEGO franchise needs something new to break out of its now conveyer-belt approach.
Small innovations keep Lego Jurassic World interesting - for all ages.
LEGO Jurassic World is a fun little romp through the Jurassic movies, but it's not as deep as most other LEGO games and it has more bugs than the last several LEGO games combined. It's a must-buy for fans of TT's series, but it's not high on the recommend list for anyone new to the LEGO games. Although, it is a lot of fun to run through the parks as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Stomping on cars and watching the NPCs flee never gets old.
It's a shame about the bugs, which could be the product of meeting the movie deadlines rather than oversights from the developers; or maybe the fact that it had to sit alongside four other LEGO titles this year alone. But if you can look past randomly flying triceratops or temperamental vines - LEGO Jurassic World is still fun, full of charisma, and with enough unlockables and customisation to keep your attention.
Those suffering from Lego game lethargy, then, may find this lacking. But for fans who want a good family-friendly game that will keep the children entertained through the summer holidays while providing the opportunity to relive some classic movie moments, then this park is open and definitely worth a visit.
LEGO games may very well be formulaic, but the old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies very aptly here. There is the same comedy and parody of the source material as with many of the other releases, which while is done to make the game more family friendly, has the added benefit of resulting in some genuinely funny moments. The games are simple and fun to play for audiences of all ages and sizes; for fans of Jurassic Park or the LEGO games in general, LEGO Jurassic World is a must pick up.
TT Games have been bringing us Lego games for quite some time now, yet they somehow find a way to entertain us and perhaps none more so then with Lego Jurassic World. Find out why in our Roarrrrview!
Whether you are looking for a family friendly way to introduce a child to the franchise or simply fancy yourself a survival expert, Lego Jurassic World has plenty of fun to be enjoyed by all ages.
LEGO Jurassic World is a fun, wild romp through the Jurassic Park films that not only lives up to their legacy and the expectations of fans but also those of Tt Games' LEGO franchise as a whole.
Despite those problems however, Lego Jurassic World is undoubtedly one of the stronger games in the series. There's far less needless time-wasting compared to Lego: The Hobbit's dull crafting, and the levels themselves can be great playthroughs. It draws on the greatest hits of Jurassic Park, and while your love of the franchise will determine your love of the game in the end, gamers with a soft spot for plastic dinosaurs would do well to give this a shot.
LEGO Jurassic World is stuffed full of lightly humorous charm, and contains a wealth of content. Whether you stay long enough in the park to experience it all, however, will depend on if you can overlook its often dull puzzle gameplay and frustrating lack of polish. Nevertheless, thrashing about as dinosaurs and recreating classic Jurassic Park scenes can put a smile on any face.
