LEGO Jurassic World Reviews
Lego Jurassic World is a joyful, brightly-colored tribute to Jurassic Park that fails to channel the franchise's trademark tension and excitement.
God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates video game featuring dinosaurs.
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.
Just like the game part, LEGO Jurassic World's entire presentation - its cinematics, its atmosphere - is predictable. Good enough, but incredibly safe, and definitely a factory line production that inspires little other than blandly trundling through the game, chuckling a bit at some jokes and ignoring most of them.
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.
Still, with the control issues aside, LEGO Jurassic World manages to be another solid addition to the LEGO family of games. Four amazing films transformed into some really fun gameplay that put you right into the center of the action.
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.
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.
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 has clearly been rushed through to release alongside the new movie, and as such is riddled with bugs and glitches -more so than any other licensed Lego game. There are plenty of grin-inducing moments for fans of these incredible movies though and as such Lego Jurassic World is still worth a look if you love the films enough to forgive the defects in its DNA.
Lego Jurassic World is a completely alright Lego game that is hindered by its thin source material.
Lego Jurassic World isn’t terrible though. There is some fun to be had going through the campaign, and the first time you play as a brachiosaurus and view the world as a walking skyscraper is pretty cool. Unfortunately, it’s a feeling that doesn’t last too long before the game's uninspired design and handling of the source material set in.
Lego Jurassic World is as expected: Legos, dinosaurs, and puzzles. But, the formula is too familiar and needs more chaos theory.
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.
If you're a fan of the Jurassic Park films and you aren't sick of the Lego formula, Lego Jurassic World is a great title.
Lego Jurassic World ends up being a middling entry for TT's enormous franchise, but a middling entry by them is still enormously better than most other family games.
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.
After the Lego series reached new heights with Marvel Super Heroes and The Hobbit, Jurassic World feels like a step backward.
