Between it being a game nobody talks about, and it receiving a spot in an Angry Video Game Nerd episode, I was afraid this was going to be a RARE GAME with a $120 price tag. But, no, I snagged a copy yesterday for $12. I pop it in and I'm immediately greeted to the most spoken dialogue I've ever heard in a cartridge game. I'm sorry to say the dialogue is shit, and the cutscene characters look like anime characters drawn in MS Paint, but it was a neat surprise to see a full conversation rendered in an SNES game. The gameplay is fluid. The visuals are nice. The tyrannosaurus in the second mission is beautifully rendered. And I love how the velociraptors are both swift and devastating without feeling cheap like in the first SNES Jurassic Park game. This is one sequel which is immeasurably better than the original. I didn't expect to find another SNES game that would wow me. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:927764037] in Jurassic P... [t:78031934]...</cite> <quote>It's basically Contra with dinosaurs.

MabusIncarnate 09/21/19 9:56:25 PM #6:	I looked into it, it was definitely the SNES one that was great, there were two campaigns, one as Grant and one as the Raptor.

It was amazingly innovative for it's time. It's the Genesis game which lets you play as Grant or the Raptor.

cjs28 09/21/19 10:07:20 PM #9:	I got that game for christmas and I love it. My only complaints is that it's hard as fuck (and you need to play on Hard mode to get the best ending) and there's no save feature. I still know the infinite continues code by heart lol >_> --- Everything is cool. <cite>cjs28 posted [p:927764854] in Jurassic P...

Skye Reynolds 09/21/19 10:24:57 PM #16:	So, I just read the instruction manual for this game. Apparently, the dude in body armor is supposed to be Dr. Grant. Yeah, looks just like him. Also, the Lex Luthor wannable from the opening cutscene is apparently supposed to be Dodgson ("We've got Dodgson here!") from the first movie. I always thought he was sent by Hammond's rivals as a liaison. I had no idea he was the one running the operation. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:927765532] in Jurassic P...
