Jurassic park (Gameboy)

You play as Dr Grant with something that looks like a rocket launcher, now save the children from Jurassic park!

Collect the eggs, escape the island and survive the dangers that Jurassic park is throwing at you. The player starts without any weapons and finds hostile dinosaurs all around. The player must find a nearby weapon and start to collect raptor eggs. When all of the eggs on the level are collected the player will get a data diskette and can then proceed to the next area. This is the main type of gameplay in this game. Sometimes different gameplay is introduced when the player reached the bosses and such.

The controls are very good I my opinion, fluent and easy to learn. The player gets three extra lives and a good amount of continues. Something that seems weird to me is that the player don't get unlimited continues. After all this is a gameboy game, not a arcade where people are waiting in a line behind you. This would make you think that this is a easy game, but you would be wrong. For me the game where quite hard to win, I think that this is because of the lack of saving features. This game is not made to finish in one streak I believe.

The story of this game is very loosely based around the plot of the novel while the graphics is based around the movie. This makes the graphics the big connection to why this is even a Jurassic park game. Because the music definitely don't provide the Jurassic park feeling and can in time be annoying. But the sound effects is good and satisfying when heard. The graphics is quite good for a gameboy. It looks like the Jurassic park, maybe not the area that where shown in the movie but still...

I give it a 7,5 of 10. This is, although the lack of saving features and the repetitive gameplay, a very fun game. But the game is very expensive and hard to find (for me anyway) so I only recommend this for the hardcore Jurassic park fans. But if one of your friends have the game and you are not a hardcore fan you should definitely check it out.
