Is it a glorious adventure 65 million years in the making, or is it “one big pile of sh*t?” “Eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour?”įollowing from its predecessor, Rampage Edition once again allows you to play as both Dr. Rampage Edition is therefore a 100% new game, a sequel to the original, not a upgrade or expanded remake, which the title might suggest.ĭeveloped by Blue Sky Software, the same team who developed the original game, Rampage Edition reintroduces many familiar mechanics but mixes in several new and interesting ideas to the prehistoric mix. Not content with waiting for a true movie sequel, Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition is a “what if” type of story which takes place in an alternate timeline picking up immediately after the events of the first film. If that sounds like you, then Park it here.The first Jurassic Park game became a huge success on the Genesis, and SEGA quickly tried to recapture that success. Plenty of work for the thumbs, but none for the brain. This attempt to cash in on the movie's fame, however, is side-scrolling mediocrity. Jurassic Park was a great title on many platforms. Getting Grant past the dinos will take a lot of shootin' and scootin'. Raptors don't just roam aimlessly waiting to get shot - they pounce and slash at you. The controls seem difficult because the dinosaur A.I: in this game is faster and more lethal than it was in previous versions.

The humans' and dinos' death yells are very similar, and many sounds were ported over from the first title, so don't expect much. The standard sounds won't send chills down your back. The backgrounds are nice but they're too reminiscent of other Genesis forests. if they've been outlined in black crayon, making the game more cartoony.

Though similar to the last title, the graphics lack realism. Progressing through the six levels as Grant, you pick up various weapons like a deadly Flamethrower that blackens beasts to extra crispy, a buckshot-blastin' Shotgun, and a Machine Gun. Guards are everywhere, shooting, running, and throwing bombs. Even worse, you face a nastier species this time: Humans. rex return, plus Gallimimuses that you ride in a fast side-scrolling stage. If you play as the Raptor, you have to get your eggs to safety (before someone makes a movie out of you). (They either want to breed the eggs or make a mighty big omelet.) In this game, you must stop the agents before they reach their goal, avoiding famished dinos along the way. The Park Never ClosesĪs Grant leaves Jurassic Park at the end of the first game, he sees InGen agents combing the area for dinosaur eggs. Betcha it's simultaneously released with the JP videotape in October. Enough with the dinosaurs! JP: Rampage Edition is another ploy to keep you interested in prehistory.
