Breve descrizione/Recensione
Jurassic Park is a standard action game, its level design seemingly putting it in the platform game genre, with the end objective being to reach the end of each level, traveling from left to right using items placed at fixed locations. However, the game features a then-uncommon variation in action games, giving players the option of using two characters that played almost totally differently to one another. The game was playable as either Dr Alan Grant, or one of the film's versions of a Velociraptor. Grant is the default character and must be changed using the 'Player' option on the game's main menu.
Grant, while driving a Jeep through the park, is attacked by the Tyrannosaurus rex after the power goes out. With his Jeep now wrecked, he must now make his way to the Visitors Center to escape. The weapons he uses, with the exception of a rocket launcher, are non-lethal and will only knock out the dinosaurs for a short time, usually causing them to wake up as more fierce opponents. Grant has 7 weapons: two kinds of tranquiliser darts (blue is weaker, red is stronger), three types of grenades (gas, flash and exploding), plus a Taser gun and rocket launcher. All of these items will run out if their relevant ammunitions are not picked up - with the Taser being an exception, in that without any ammo, it will let out only a very close range shock. Grant's health item is a medical pack.
The raptor, after lighting struck its pen - and turned off the power, escapes and pursues Grant. Though it uses its teeth and claws to stop opponents, like Grant, the raptor cannot kill dinosaurs easily - or at all. However, it can still overpower any human enemies. Unlike Grant, the raptor is a fast runner, and can jump higher and farther than him, making the raptor's journey slightly easier. Its health item is generic 'meat', although it has the ability to eat a Compy to refill its health as well.
