I really love this game! It's 3D graphics and dinosaur realism make you feel like your inside the game. It's a game of survival and skill and it's really great and fun! Jurassic Park:Lost World is a real treat and it makes a great Christmas gift!
Hey! It's worth playing!

I thought that this game was pretty good. The graphics are awesome and the music is brilliant! I love being able to play as the compy. the only real problem with it is you have to go through tons of levels with one character until you can be the next. And you can't use a memory card, it uses passwords that you get after a lot of levels. But hey! I though it was still pretty good. If you don't buy it, at least rent it.
An utter chore.

The 'Jurassic Park' bandwagon continues to grind onwards. In this game you get to make your way across horizontally-scrolling landscapes, battling or avoiding the various dinosaurs.
Simple, eh? Yes, and you'd have to be simple to think that a video game company has put any effort into this game when it will by the bucketloads because of its licence. The 2D/3D platform landscapes are confusing and lead to inevitable deaths, the graphics are functional rather than interesting and the whole thing moves at a snail's pace. It's true that you get to play bigger dinosaurs (and the odd human) in later levels, but to be honest you'll be completely bored and fed up long before then, and the dinosaur you start out as is so feeble it's hard work getting anywhere at all.
A complete waste of space, made without care or interest.
Dino-Mite!

The Lost world Jurrasic Park was a great movie in my opinion, the question is, does the movie tie in game succed as well? Well...Yes and No. Let me start out with the good points. This game has some of the best movie tie in game graphics I have ever seen, every tree, every dino is done magnificantly. The amination is also superb, It seems like the animation team went back in time to capture the motion of real dinos. The sound amd music department also exceles as well, with some of the best if not the best game soundtrack I have ever heard. It captures the feel of the movie perfectly and really sets the mood. Controls are a bit rough but still good. One of the best parts of the game is that you get to control different charachters, the Compy the Hunter, the Raptor, the T-Rex and Sarah Harding. The final few levels of the game are very well done and exciting, the last level could put up a fight for the best final level ever when you face off with not 1 but 2 T-rexes. So up till now everything is fun and good, but what about the dissapointing parts? This game has some and all of them are serious. First off although the game box says in really big letters "YOU ARE THE T-REX!" well that is true, you get to play as the big T-rex for about 7 of 40 levels and getting there is not going to be easy wich brings us to our next flaw and certinly one of the biggest. This game has no save points. Thats right, just like the games of yesterday you will have to go compleatly through the game and you cannot save. There are cheat codes that allow you to get to a charachters level however. The 3rd flaw is that this game also has no mid level checkpoints, which means that if you are 2 steps away from the level end and are bombarded by a dimorphedon and killed you have to start all over again. This can get really annoying and tiring. The 4th and biggest flaw is the most serious of all. This can be wayyy too hard, even on the easiest difficulty level. Some of the levels, most of wich are the raptor levels are just insane in terms of difficulty, where you will rip your hair out in frustration. For instance in a raptor forest level I was sneaking up on a Pachysalufusaurus when my head touched its tail my raptor began to bounce up and down, taking damage like crazy and I could not control him, all the while the pachy turned around and killed my charachter. That is so frusterating and maddening I actually sweared and screamed out loud. But this is still a fun game, but be sure to get some cheat codes before playing to get to the cool later levels.
The Good: Fantastic graphics, Fantastic animation, Fantastic soundtrack, you can play as 5 different charachters, you can eat humans as the T-rex. Some levels are really cool. The last level is awsome.
The bad: Getting all the DNA to see the secret (And amusing) ending is impossible to do. Difficulty level can be nasty, No save points?!?! boo. Questionable moments of damage (See Pachy example above)
And the Ugly: The raptor levels are insane in difficulty. The Dimorphidons. You play as a 2 foot tall Compy for most of the game.
This game could give you Dino-phobia!

In The Lost World : Jurrassic Park you can play as The Compsognathus (Compy), Hunter, Veloceraptor (Raptor), Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex), and Sarah. I think this game is great! Some parts are a bit frustrating, but those parts are short-lived and far between. All in all this is a great game and I recommend it to you.
kill those pitiful humans!!!!

I loved this game. The humans were very stupid in the raptor level. You could press down and pounce or attack from a high place, with enough time to get out of the way. In the T-rex level, the raptors are a pain; so are people, trikes. In 2 levels you get to take on allisaurus.
Not as fun as I thought

This is a good game (good, not great). Even though it really has absolutely nothing to do with the movie that it was based on, it is still fun, as long as you have skills. The game has almost 50 levels, split into 5 stages: Compy, Raptor, Human Hunter, T-Rex, and Human Prey.
Most of the levels are difficult and annoying. For example, the first T-Rex level. In the level, you're in a dead forest full of raptors and puddles of lava. I'm not exactly sure if I was playing right, but once I got through the level and thought I beat it, there was a tall rock wall that looked like it wasn't meant to get past.
I guess this game could be exciting, as long as you have the companion strategy guide to go with it.
The game also has some good points, like the fact that there are several interesting enemies and levels to move through. Environments include rain forests, warehouses, cave systems, lakes, and plains.
Even though it seems like this game is a put-down, I reccommend this game, as long as you don't get frustrated easily. The game has little to do with the game, so in the end, don't get your hopes up for a 5-star game.
fantastic game

This is a highly addictive game that can get frustrating at times. It took me a while to figure out how to get through the first Rex level. It is fun to be the Raptor and gore random living things if you are stressed out. I have played and beaten this game countless times, yet the fact that there are no save points is rather annoying. The details on the dinosaurs and envirments are wonderful. It looks as though the developers went back in time to photograph the dinosaurs to make this game.

I played this game a long time ago, but I remember loving it. A few suggestions out of my experience for you. One: you should use the cheats to play the velociraptor, it is extensivly gory and violent, but its fun. Two: do NOT play the human prey level. It is incredibly difficult and very stupid. Finally, the T. Rex level is only fun on levels when you can eat the humans. all other T. Rex levels are ludicrisly difficult and seemingly impossible. My only other suggestion is, don't get to caught up with the difficultly aspect, but concentrate on the best part: YOU HAVE THE UPPER HAND! KILL THOSE PATHETIC HUMANS!
