While most of what I just mentioned is what players can do in almost every other LEGO game out there, LEGO Jurassic World does offer players something unique - the ability to play as a dinosaur. It got so repetitive that I actually had to turn the music off, just so I wouldn’t go crazy. Like the iconic Jurassic Park theme song? So did I, until I heard it play 500 times while driving around Isla Nublar. While the story levels have a fairly dynamic soundtrack, the open-world areas simply just play the main theme song of whichever movie they are from.

The only downfall of the open-world environments is the soundtrack that is used in them. Trying to complete on these side-missions turns the seven or eight hour game into one that could take 20 or more hours to fully finish. While most of the side-missions are almost exactly the same - help a sick dinosaur, beat some dinosaurs up, or help a trapped human - they are quick enough to be entertaining, and do a good job of giving players something to do other than just play through the stories. There are a number of different side-missions to find and play in the open-world areas, and they reward the player with various collectibles. But once the story is completed and the area opens up, players can enter “Freeplay,” allowing them to play as any unlocked character and drive around in any unlocked vehicle. Each environment connects with each one of the movies, and the corresponding storyline of the movie must be completed before players can fully explore the area. Hold on to Your Buttsīesides getting through the movies and playing through specific levels that mirror the movies’ plots, players can also explore four fairly massive open-world environments. While playing with someone else, the player doesn’t need to switch characters all the time, and the game becomes more enjoyable and easier to get through. Players need to switch between different characters and use their unique abilities to get through the various levels, and while this is possible to do while playing alone, LEGO Jurassic World really wants players to play with a partner. Alan Grant’s ability to assemble fossils into useful structures or Owen Grady’s ability to sneak past dinosaurs. Each character has his or her own special abilities, like Dr. Collecting a certain amount of them earns players the title of “True Survivor” for that level, and the little LEGO pieces can later be used to buy new characters and new vehicles.Īlso like other LEGO games, LEGO Jurassic World has a gigantic amount of characters to play as. Like many other LEGO games, one of the main goals in each level is to smash things and collect little LEGO pieces, although there are a number of QTE sequences and chase scenes to break up the monotonous smashing and grabbing.

Voice recordings from the movies helps bring the game to life, and random jokes and one-liners put in by TT Games helps keep the game goofy and uniquely LEGO. Players are able to play through the movies’ storylines, reliving some of the more iconic scenes in the movies as they do so, such as dinosaurs ending up in the city in The Lost World, or the raptors in the kitchen in Jurassic Park.

LEGO Jurassic World allows players to play through each of the four Jurassic Park movies separately, starting, of course, with Jurassic Park. Somehow, the game manages to give the Jurassic Park franchise a fun makeover, but still keep all of its action-packed and memorable moments. It recreates all four Jurassic Park movies - Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Jurassic Park III, and the newly released Jurassic World - in the creative and goofy LEGO universe, allowing players to not only beat up dinosaurs, but also play as them. There aren’t a lot of video games out there that let you punch dinosaurs in the face with your bare hands, but LEGO Jurassic World is one of them.
