This element is nothing new, but it is always my favourite element of any strategy game.
Guests need amenities such as toilets and restaurants as well as rides and safari tours to keep them happy. Those familiar with other management strategy games will be right at home when designing the rest of the park. A 'Dinopedia' is on hand to give advice on how to keep each species, something that is required if you are to satisfy the most demanding of visitors. There are 25 dinosaurs in all and each are highly detailed and distinct in both design and behaviour. There is a risk-reward mechanic here where your dinosaur won't live as long if the genome isn't as complete, but the time it takes to increase the percentage costs money. Your genetic lab will then extract the DNA and create a genome, but you'll need to pay attention to how complete they are. You have one or more dedicated archaeological teams stationed at various locations worldwide that will find them for you. None of these creatures exist, so their DNA needs to be discovered and extracted from fossils. Its unique selling point beyond the license comes from those extinct lizards themselves. The meat of the game lies in the park creation. There are obvious influences from other games such as Zoo Tycoon and Theme Park, but this is much more that a clone of those games. Each can be played in the main game if such an event occurs and they are a welcome change of pace. To mix thing up a bit, some levels require you to rescue lost visitors or herd stray herbivores. You are tasked will shooting rampaging dinosaurs from a helicopter before they destroy everything. These mini-games are not too bad either, though I'd be hard pushed to see an entire game created from them. There is also an 'Action' mode which collates the mini-games you'll find in the park. There is also a collection of exercises which require specific task when designing your park. There is the standard sandbox mode where you are given free reign and unlimited time to unlock everything and create the best park ever. There are three modes of play on your very own lost world. I now need a little less of an imagination as Operation Genesis is basically Theme Park with the number one dinosaur license. One of my favourite games, Theme Park, came out a year after the first movie and I often fantasized that I was doing right on my PC what Richard Hammond and company did wrong on screen. When I first came upon the game, my first though was "why didn't they think of this earlier?".
One of the most overlooked is perhaps the best of the lot a 2003 tycoon game named Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. Video games had a far easier ride with several games being released throughout the years.
In 2001, the third Jurassic Park movie disappointed cinemagoers to such an extent that it would take fourteen years for Jurassic World to rectify its tarnished reputation.
