Today is the 21st and universal studios came out. I just stoped playin it. A couple of hours ago i got it and i could not wait to play it!!! ITZZZZZ SOOOOOOO COOOOOOL! its defenitley not like other games but its great.

ET, jurrasic park, wild wild west and many others. woody wood pecker is your guide through the game along with other employes and park guest that will help u in the game...pEaCe

At E3, I noticed a game that was called Universal Studious Theme Park. I was curious and looked more into this strange new game. The moment a T-Rex was chasing me down in Jurassic Park:The Ride, I was hooked. The demo had Backdraft, Jurassic Park, E.T., and Back to the Future. They had to practically rip that cool Gamecube controller off my hands to keep the line moving. E.T. was a very simple-minded ride. All you have to do is dodge traffic and police officers to get E.T. to his spaceship and escape Earth. Back to the Future has you in the past, present, and future. You have to stop Biff from stealing the other Delorean. Backdraft has you stopping fires as a firefighter and protecting lives from death. Jurassic Park has you stuck on Isla Sorna and you're driving in a Jeep to escape the jaws of a Tyrannosaurs Rex and a pack of Velociraptors and having to get to the helicopotor before you're a nice, lovely snack. The graphics are making you feel like you're in Tokyo's Universal Studios and the sound is nice and vibrant. In conclusion, the game is a big masterpiece.

Just like the real park!

I can't believe that I found this game at Gamestop. Considering I've been to Universal Studos theme park in Florida, I would say that the game is a great souvenier, and brings back the wonderful memories of being in the park, without wearing out your feet. I especially found the Jurassic Park game very challenging and exciting. I wonder if would be very obvious if Nintendo came up with other theme park adventure games such as Disney World, Six Flags Great Adventure. Now that would be exciting.

Buy this game

I dont know what people say about it being bad, this game rocks. all of the minigames are challenging and fun to do multiple times. One of the best parts is a movie quiz that you can play again and again, and test your movie knowledge. I say, get this game because it is awesome!!!!

Ignore the bad reviews!

Yet, the bad reviews are bad, but if you ask me, that is, I think the game is great and you should ignore the bad reviews. The game is actully outstanding, phhonemol peice of art. So the game is great because you get to go on real rides at the universal studios theme park in florida. The rides are: E.T, Jaws, The wild, wild west stunt show, Jurassic park river adventure, WaterWorld, Bactdraft and Back to the future: The ride. Along the way, there are quizzes, resturants you can eat at, shops, even parades. There's a Fastpass in this game, though the game you cannot use an inventatory. But sometimes, the fastpass dosen't work for some attractions (like backdraft, the wild, wild west stunt show) Some of the rides with Fastpasses are: Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park river adventure and back to the future. Tip: The fastpasses in this game are called express passes. You can even talk to guests, name your character, even choose what it looks like. Ignore the bad reveiws and have fun at universal studios.

I gave this four stars instead of three, because the high points of this game really do matter. This is what I thought Universal Studios: Theme Parks Adventure has inside:

The High and Good Points:
*Based on Universal Studios in Japan
*Great Photo-Realistic Graphics
*Real-time voices
*One of the best graphic displays on the GCN yet
*A must for minigame fans
*Additictive Gameplay
*Great Movie Music, highly added
*Minigames are fun and some are two players
*A movie quiz with over 500+ questions
*Great, un-sloppy cinema sequences

The Average Points:
*Only main characters talk
*Not much characters
*Takes a while to beat on other modes
*Easy mode way too easy, doesn't help you prepare for normal and hard mode at all
*Attraction Mode base poorly thought out
*Should have included the Backlot Tour or more minigames
*Map makes no sense what so ever since you go in little sequences

The Bad and Low Points:
*Camera Angles are horribly made
*Guides say you can explore in first-person, which is not true
*Some minigames are arcade-style, but have skimpy play control
*Backdraft is extremely hard to beat in easy and normal mode
*Jurassic Park is a game that has an unbeatable ending in Normal and Hard mode
*E.T. is way too simple on any mode
*Very, extremely childish at times, especially in the character voices and the puzzles
*Puzzles ridiculously easy
*Quiz is way too hard on normal and hard mode
*Quiz becomes way too easy after you saw the questions a million times
*Talking to people makes no sense, since they are always talking about "Universal Studios is so great"
*Caps and the Hover Board makes a great collection of stuff to collect, but there should be more (like the real things at a theme park [Souvenirs and Food])

This is not a promo for the studios, but is highly into talking about the park.

To sum this up, Universal Studios: Theme Parks Adventure is fun for a rent, but a pain for a buy. So, rent it and have fun, which was I did and I was satisfied.

... this game rocks!

This game, Universal Studios Theme Park is awesome. You walk around and interact with and talk to park employees adn regular people. You need to complete 5 attractions: ET where you just have to ride ur bike across to ET's ship, very simple. JP - where you have to fight off dinosaurs, pretty hard. Quiz which is really stupid and piontless, but it is really hard. Just watch waterworld, backdraft, back to the future, and dragonheart a billion times, and u'll pass it. Backdraft, by far the best game where you go into a burning building and put out fires and rescue people. And there is wild, wild, wild west, shooting gasme, hitting targets, pretty cool. watching waterworld, and back to the future, really hard. u need to kill biff by bashing in to him b4 he escapes. overall, great game. go out and rent it first, though and play it. it's not very good value becasue i beat it in 3 days, but u can crank up the difficulty. u also need to go around the park finding letters, and picking up garbage. if u like theme parks, it's fun, but if ur in to sports games and junmk, like me, its' all right. go out and rent it first. I URGE U TO RENT IT FIRST!!!...

Should you ever find yourself entering the gates of Hell, Satan will personally hand you a copy of this GC turd. Why? Because playing this ultra-boring video "game" is worse than having a spike driven through your pancreas. The designers of this stinker should be forced to play it for 24 hours. The game play is as exciting as watching flies mate. Your pathetic missions are sprinkled with tedious trash-picking and disturbing mini-games. In fact, when you throw a piece of trash away, the boy exclaims with delight, "This is FUN!" It's as if they need to tell you that you are actually enjoying the game. Of course, you are not. You are figuring out ways to get your money returned while holding back the tears. Be afraid. Be very afraid... And bored out of your mind.
