4.0 out of 5 stars Do Good Graphics Make Up For An Easy Game?, March 14, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor (Video Game)

DNA Factor is a game that is fun while it lasts. It has 10 species of dinosaur and 12 levels, but many of the levels return you to previous locations. The game has nothing to do with the movie, but it is fun anyway.
In each level, you move along, avoiding dinosaurs, picking up weapons, and collecting DNA particles that are needed in the game. At the end of each level, you must pick up a final DNA cartridge. If you do not collect enough DNA, you have to redo the level. If you do, you move on to the mini-game at the end of the level, where you shoot the DNA particles you collected at a DNA strand, filling in spaces. To make it harder, as the game moves on, the DNA strand moves faster, and you have to dodge parasites. The DNA strand also moves closer to you, and if you are hit by a parasite or touch the DNA strand, you have to restart the entire level.
In the game, once you figure out certain things in a level, it becomes very easy to beat. I beat this game in a month after I got it. Hey, it's a great game while it lasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars REAL TRUE JP FANS, August 12, 2001

This review is from: Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor (Video Game)

Only the real Jurassic Park fans will appreciate this game. It's a good game, but the Game-enthusiastic, little kids that sit on their couch all day will nit-pick it. If you realize... they have to put the first game on the market, whethter or not their is good depth perception in it. They are releasing the better games afterward, so there is more time to work on them. This game will be appreciated by the people who know Dilophosaurus was a lot bigger than the one in the movie, and that the only way that the t-rex didn't see Grant in the first movie was that it had amphibian DNA in it, which made it only able to spot movement. Now, if you knew that, you're a true fan, and read the books, too. These people will know the game's basis, and see that the plot is acually very-well-thoughout.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Game, December 3, 2001

This review is from: Jurassic Park III: The DNA Factor (Video Game)

This Jurassic Park game is not based on any of the movies, but I recommend it because of a good plotline. Though it's a little overpriced, I can say it's worth it. It's a mixture of the original Jurassic Park adventure games and a classic arcade game. The object is to escape dinosaurs while collecting DNA samples that have been scattered all over the island of Isla Sorna because of a plane crash.
That's when the puzzle portion of the game comes in: at the end of each level, you have to use the DNA you collected to create DNA strands.
Graphics feature realistic-looking people and dinosaurs, a nice change to the pudgy things in other Game Boy titles.
I can vaguely compare this game to JURASSIC PARK: SURVIVAL, which was supposed to be released as a Playstation 2 title but never was.
The game features 12 levels and 10 dinosaur species, and I have to warn you, they're not too generous with lives. You only get one.
