There is fun to be found in here ,but it's hidden underneath the Atari Jaguar level of graphics. The gameplay is a simple 7 days to die clone(which itself wasn't very good): Gather materials, explore the open world(it's kinda small in this game but ok), struggle to survive etc. As a 2$ game- It's okay. As a game overall-it's kinda bad

A bland attempt to continue JPOG's Legacy. Unlike it's Predecessor the dinosaurs feel too scripted. In JPOG the way they walked, interacted with each other felt very natural for a PS2 game. Now 15 years after that game released the animals feel as they went back in time with their mechanics- They just fell way too scripted, for example when a bigger carnivore wants to hunt something it hast to reposition itself so it's facing straight to it's target, then an copy and pasted animation plays. In addition to that the way some of the dinosaurs break out of their enclosure doesn't follow common sense, for example: A small Velociraptor breaks out of a big concrete wall with no problem. Another thing is that park building itself can get tedious, i'm saying it "can" because it isn't always like that ,in my opinion decorating parts of your park can be a lot of fun, But the problem is whenever you want to place a building you can wait an upwards of 4 minutes (I'd like to remind you that in JPOG it was near instant) . Although it doesn't sound that bad it really can be, For example: You want to build an important facility on your island, you place the building, you wait... that's it you just sit there and wait for the damn thing to finish constructing. Another notable negative are the guests. They all feel like walking paper cut outs of humans. They feel so dull that it makes me think they're there just to show the player that someone is actually in their park ( and of course when things go wrong they serve as food for the carnivores). Putting all of that negativity aside there are some things that are done well, one of them is the inclusion of Jeff Goldblum's character (Ian Malcolm) although not as memorable as in the first two Jurassic Park movies he's still a welcome addition. Another good thing is the optimization. I've played through the entire game using a base PS4 and was surprised on how well the game looked and (most of the time) ran on the hardware. In the end Jurassic world Evolution doesn't live up to the standards of it's predecessor , although the dinosaurs look very good they don't feel very real. The park building although boring at times can be a lot of fun.

Don't play this game. By watching game play online, I was tricked into thinking it would be mindless fun. It sure was mindless, but wasn't fun. First let's point out the positives( there won't be a lot of them) The game doesn't look that bad for a PS2 game : The environment in which you swim around doesn't look half bad, the models for various animals aren't bad too(humans don't count). The game could have also been fun if not one of it's biggest flaws. The controls. The controls on the PS2 are HORRIBLE. I thought "I'll get used to it" -Sure didn't. Turning the camera is PAINFULLY bad, adjusting the settings didn't improve it very much. Another bad thing are the human models. They look like they were taken from the N64 Era. Overall this game is BAD. I wouldn't spend the 10£ on it, if i knew how bad this game really is.
