Video Game Reviews of Jurassic Park Lost World
Customer Review: A Good Game: Frustratingly Difficult
Summary: 3 Stars
Video games based off movies are usually not that good. That, or they don't follow the movies much at all. The Lost World: Jurassic Park really doesn't follow the movie. At all. Really, the game only shares the title of the movie. Despite that, The Lost World is a solid game. The only major problem is simple: the game is incredibly difficult. Easily being one of the hardest Playstation games out there. The sad part is that the game is hard because of frustration with the gameplay.
The game is comprised of thirty levels and you'll play through them as five different characters. You'll begin by playing as a Compy. Then you'll play as a hunter, then a Raptor, then the T-Rex and finally the human prey. Much of the gameplay is no fun, however. Throughout the game you'll take unreasonably large amounts of damage from your enemies and health (particularly for humans) is few and far between. Even though the dinosaurs can restore health through munching on their fallen preys, it's usually not enough.
There are some big differences between playing as humans and playing as dinosaurs. The most obvious, of course, being that the human characters use guns and dinosaurs don't. As humans you can pick up many different weapons to use in your fight against the dinosaurs. As dinosaurs, however, you have an instinct. The more enemies you kill as a dinosaur, the better you instinct gets. Instinct causes you to deal more damage as well as take less. The lower your instincts the more damage you'll take and the less damage you'll deal. Unfortunately, too many attacks from your adversaries can whittle down your health anyway. In addition to that, your instinct will drop if you go too long without killing an enemy. For the humans, you'll find that ammo for your weapons is scarce and the maximum amount is quite low.
The game plays a lot like your basic side scroller as well. While you can turn and explore some pieces of the level, most levels are actually pretty straightforward.
However, as noted before, the game is too challenging. The levels don't have checkpoints and they're pretty long. Just the same, you'll also take damage from falling from too high of a distance. Easily the worst part about The Lost World is its unforgiving challenge. To the point that it really hurts the gameplay.
Even though the game is frustrating to play, the graphics are top notch. Some of the best seen on the Playstation. There are a few glitches, but nothing too bad. Even better is the soundtrack to the game, which is one of the first to use an orchestrated soundtrack. It's a fantastic soundtrack that is used extremely well. The music can actually keep you going through certain parts of the game.
It's hard to recommend The Lost World. It's not a bad game, but it's too frustrating to put down the money for.
