First impressions after finally deciding to pick it up for $7 on steams deal.. only 20 minutes in and already getting framerate dropouts/hanging, minor audio problems, and eventually had to quit at the 20 minute mark because my mouse pointer during an exploration portion disappeared.

I like this type of game, I loved Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain so the whole "not so much a game but an interactive story" thing is absolutely no problem for me. However in Heavy rain I was actually able to interact and perform the QTE's without the "fake difficulty" of getting 1-3 second frame rate/lag dropouts...

Seems like this is a common problem with the game for most people and still no patch after over 3 and a half months...

Unhappy Not so great...

I am a big fan of the Back to the Future game and a huge fan of the Jurassic Park movies. This game is the first telltale miss for me. The controls are clunky feeling and the interaction is too simple, yet, not intuitive. There are many scenarios where you must die a few times in order to figure out what to do. This, of course, causes the game to get repetitive. I am still on episode one and will continue through the rest of the episodes but, if this is how the new telltale games will play, I probably will not purchase any others. Kind of a bummer since I have loved all others before this.

No, every other game with have regular WASD gameplay, this was just a test.

The mouse disappearing isn't a glitch, it's part of the game.

All right, so I just finished the Xbox 360 version, cause my comp can't handle any of Telltale's games from The Devil's Playhouse onwards.

I'll say it right now. I loved the cast, the storyline, the music, the setting.. I enjoyed the immersion and the atmosphere.

What I did NOT enjoy was the core gameplay. I'm no fan of Quick Time Events, nor adrenaline rushes, and certainly not anything that tries to merge both as the entire premise of the game. Not only did I typically find myself feeling sick after especially frantic sections, but there were more than a few times where I found the timing to be quite poor. Episode 2 had a big issue for me, in particular. You have to mash A and keep the dot centered, except the timer from mashing A carries over and the timer degrades at a random rate.

It took me and my cousin like an hour to finally get past it. It's not fun when you're dying cause a timed event was starting without any time.

Likewise, there was a chapter late in episode 1 where you had a whole lotta dialogue then a loading screen.. and no checkpoint (unusual since the game always has them after loading screens), where upon you had some more QTE's, and one in which a Y button shows up and nothing happens when you press it. I've never gotten a green check or a red miss, it just shows up, goes away, and I suddenly lose my gold. It's the only part of the game I haven't gotten gold in, actually.

So yeah.. I'm really on the fence. I don't think I'll be playing this game ever again, and am glad this was a rental. I'll probably just watch it on YouTube or something if I ever wanna see the storyline again.

It just felt like Telltale took two steps forwards and a great big step back, which resulted in a stumble, and then falling over a cliff and having to quickly hit buttons to not die.

I'm sorry, guys.. I know you tried to make a great game, but this is just not one I care to ever play again. Which is sad cause I loved all the others (though I can't play BttF cause it isn't on a platform I own...)


EDIT: Some stuff I thought I'd mention.

Another issue I had was the Pause Menu. You hit start, you pull out of the game, you wait at the slab, the slab opens, the dinosaur shows up, the menu shows up, the menu lag for a moment and THEN you can do something in it. I swear it took like 10+ to go from making a mistake to loading my game, and that's not counting the time it takes to reload the scene.

I had no issues with sound or framerate, not that I'd ever notice cause I've had crap computers for so long that I only notice if it drops to like 20 FPS or less, which it never did.

I really felt this could've done better as a 4-part miniseries, rather than a "game". It made me recall what Ken Williams was trying to do with Sierra. Making "interactive stories" that would rival or replace movies. That's really what this felt like, an interactive movie. I'm not big on that unless it's a choice here and there resulting in a change in the plot (not unlike those games which're similar to interactive novels). I'd have been far happier to watch this story play out and occasionally be presented with some dialogue or other options, than constantly be pushing buttons to keep my characters alive.


EDIT 2: ...okay what the hell?! I was replaying the last chapter of episode 4 for an achievement.. and I realized it's not friggin' making checkpoints anymore! What the HELL made you guys think that'd be okay? Going through that KNOWING I had to do it all in one try was NOT fun. No wonder I couldn't get a checkpoint in an earlier episode when I was replaying something.. :/

In general the game is a lot more frustrating than it is fun. Next to the CONSTANT crashes, frame rate drops, sounds glitches, ... It is also impossible to play in one piece. I have to play everything three times at least to memorize the action sequences because the game reacts so damn slow! It prompts a button, I press it and wait for the two following commands to appear. But I only get a fraction of a second to see the next command before a red cross appears and I die. So I have to retry and press the button BEFORE the command appears for the game to register a hit.
My PC is perfectly capable of running this game but the game just doesn't seem to agree.

So I'm at an exploration scene, with the option to change area at the bottom left, talk to others at the bottom right, interactive hotspots around the viewable area... and it's part of the game that I have no pointer and cannot interact with anything - forcing me to exit and restart the game? Innovation!

This is a great game! I love that it reveals more behind the park and what else was going on during the Isla Nublar Incident. I also praise TellTale for putting in more tourist attractions in the game like the Marine Exhibit and The Bone Shaker. I would have liked a bit of freedom in what I do, such as character control, but after playing for a while, I began to like the cinematic experience.

Also, as a Dallas-Fort Worth citizen I know realized Jess and Dr. Harding say an inaccurate statement about living in Dallas. In the conversation between Jess and her father, her attendance to Westlake Academy is mentioned. Well, Westlake Academy was not open in 1993. Westlake opened in 2003.

Overall, I would give TT a thumbs up for making such a great game, and a sequel with a back story on Site B would be excellent.

Very glad I didn't pay full price for it, and got it on the cheap along with my "Walking Dead" pre-order.

Basically, it's "Dragon's Lair" set in Jurassic Park, along with all of the annoyances of that game, but with pretty visuals (well, compared to the multi-million dollar games out there).

I'm not a fan of random QTE's (Up, Down, Up, Up) - I don't want to have to die 5 times before I can work out the correct way to get out of a situation - it's not fair on the player to have to guess the correct sequence of multiple key presses in order to "pass" a scene, and ends up feeling like a "grind" instead of a great experience.

It's just my opinion, but for me, it's the poorest game that Telltale have put out so far - as I said, it's worth the money at a bargain price (even though I can't see myself playing through it again), but I would have been very annoyed if I'd spent $30 on it.

What a terrible game! I had so hoped for an adventure game, not an action game. What a disappointment that I have to be fast with the WADS keys, and not being very fast on the get-go anyway, just to find those keys usually takes me a minute and by that time I die. There is hardly any story, at least so far, but, I haven't gotten very far yet because I keep dying. just a lot of key clicking. What a waste of my money!

If you repeatedly push the four WASD keys simoultaneously, you will succeed all the Quicktime events.
Simple and short.
It's a sort of "god mode" bug!

I finished this game today, and I must say although I found the game poor in gameplay and a really bad adventure game, I loved the story. Definetely, Jurassic Park 2 movie should have been this story, and not the actual plot.

But seriously, less QTE for next time, please. This is not a game, but a interactive movie.

I haven't finished the game yet, but I do have a complaint about haveing to use the wsad keys really fast in some scenes, and my mind can't register that quickly. This game should be updated so the arrows will stay up longer instead of one second or at least give an option in settings to be able to set that for our selves. Rather than that I say the game is good. I just hope the walking dead is more like back to the future than this game where you can actually control the character using the wsad keys.

I honestly kept hearing how bad and awful Jurassic Park so by the time I picked it up for my 360, I was expecting the worst possible experience ever and honestly it's made the game all the more enjoyable. I should surround myself with more people who claim everything is so unbearable because in every instance in film, music and gaming it's made my experience (usually) good. I'd like to note that I'm a big fan of this style of game since I played Fahrenheit in 2005. Always was intrigued by interactive films as a format.

End result was I enjoyed it and it's story, characterization. Though I do wish your decisions did have more pull towards the story interactivity. Even in Heavy Rain there was moments I could bend the story a bit for a different experience. I suppose Telltale is no Quantic Dream. Either way, I didn't hate a moment of it and I'm not a hater of cel-shading or QTE's, so, that helps.

I was really excited when I first heard that a new Jurassic park game was coming out because I played the Sega one when I was a little kid. To be honest I give props to designing the game, characters, and critters, However I dislike the game play very much its like a complicated interactive movie, not to much actually fun game play. I easily got bored and disappointed with the out come of the game. It has a great story it just isn't fun to play its tedious. I thought it was going to be like a 1st person shooter or a 3rd person kid of thing if you get what I'm talking about. I didn't want an interactive movie. I don't know, I was just very disappointed and felt that i needed to share my thoughts so more games like this wouldn't be made. Good job on the design and making everything look great but its not fun to play, I'm sorry.
