Lost World: Jurassic Park
Third time's the charm... to a pointGenre: action - gun
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1997
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Ok now we're talking. Overheard view similar to JP 1 for the SNES but with faster controls and more ammo. Not a particularly good overhead action game but it plays great compared to the first two games. You've got the franchise favorite tranquilizer gun but also a machine gun with limited ammo and a shotgun with unlimited rounds. Enemies run around crazily so they're hard to hit with anything but the machine gun which has auto aim. The camera has a weird bouncy quality to it. Driving the jeep is novel but controls horribly and the camera can't keep up so the novelty wear off quickly.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Includes a map thankfully but it takes a long time to menu to it. Levels are mostly empty space. Objectives are sometimes weird and hard to accomplish, like trapping Stegosaurus in a cage. It's frustrating cuz they run far faster than you. Missed opportunity since the game engine is mostly decent.
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
No idea who you are or what you're doing. Bizarre setting. The opening cutscene is awesome but it's all downhill from there. Uses a wristwatch as the pause screen like GoldenEye
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Impressive for a 16 bit title. Some nice animation and sprite work, but there's just not much to look at. Only a handful of sprites and every level is the same jungle area.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Great music and sound. I played longer than I need to and I credit the music for most of that
Overall Score: 56
