Great fun for any tycoon fan!

In a land where Zoo Tycoon and its dinosaur expansion have addicted millions of gamers, it's no surprise that a Jurassic Park sim would be killer!

I was addicted to Zoo Tycoon and its expansions so I eagerly gave this one a try. I wasn't disappointed at all. First off, you have a WIDE variety of dinosaurs to work with, and can zoom in and out on them to appreciate their looks.

There's all the normal fun of mixing herbivores in with carnivores, and dealing with problem animals. Sometimes you have to shoot them down from your helicopter, something the visitors don't appreciate. But they'd probably appreciate becoming Rex Chow even less!

You can get Dino DNA and do many cool things with existing dinosaurs and even mix together new dinos. While there are a few minor annoying things about the interface, you get used to them quickly enough and really enjoy the rich graphics and dino-mania for hours and hours.

Highly recommended for any Tycoon fan!

Jurassic Park right in your own home!

I originally purchased this game for my 7 year old son and after watching him play it for endless hours, I started to sneak my own playtime after he went to bed.

I soon realized that this game is more addictive than any Sim game I've ever played.

The graphics are simply amazing! There is nothing like having the controller shake in your hand as you zoom into to see your T-Rex or Spinosaurus chomp on their prey.

There are plenty of dinosaurs to choose from and several items to build to help please your guests. Don't be afraid to experiment and watch your herbivores move in packs!

Even when you have built everything you can and have researched everything possible, the sheer beauty of the game draws you to just stand back and watch your creation.

This is a must buy for any Xbox and dinosaur fan of any age.

Great

This is by far the best game I have played for Xbox, besides Max Payne. I wasnt sure about buying it but i ended up and do not regret one bit. There is not one negetive thing to say about the game except that the 3's look like 1's and that may cause some confusion.......I now have a Four and a Half Star Park and nearly $400,000 dollars.......I absolutlty love this game......ITS ADDICTIVE

THE BEST GAME EVER!!

Basically, this OG casts you as the curator of jurassic park. research high security fences and sentry turrets, build the pens and attractions, and uncover dino bones and amber to create dinosaurs. very fun, the ability to climb into a ranger helicopter and zoom around your park is quite fun, as is creating a deathtrap for visitors (a fun diversion if you ever get annoyed by them). I wish they had more dinosaurs (iguanadon would have been nice) but all the really popular ones are here. My only complaint is the lack of realism. I wish that they hadn't followed the films so closely, considering that there are a few big innacuracies (velociraptor intelligence and size, spinosaurus existing on other dinos instead of fish...) overall though, I had a lot of fun with this game

this is cool

If u are into sim games such as roller coaster tycoon(whcih is also fun) u must get this. this is a 3d game and gets u up close and personel with the visitors and the dinosors. Will u mix a group of velocerapters with a some stegasoures and see the raptors gang up on them. or maybe u would like to but a t-rex and a spinasoures together for a fight to the death whatever u choose this is one of the greatest games i have ever played. from riding in a balloon or in a helicopter or riding a jeep this game has it all right. now i have a 5 star pak and about 1,500,000 dollars. get this game today!!!

This game surprised me after the lame games that my children beg to play and zone out to...I was ready to sell the x-box and make my money back. We got a demo of this and my 9 year old who was never into dinosaurs suddenly knew the names of all of them. Was setting up a park and using money skills-math was never hard for him but he was bored at school and proclaimed to hate it. This is a beautiful graphic and the music is so nice to hear (after an hour of some of the other childrens games you want to pound you head against the wall) this has nice soft music that goes with the movie and the game.Even soft voices for announcements finally something I could stand for any amount of time (well within reason) I highly recommend for the entertainment value and the bonus for us parents is they are getting an education about math, science, socialogy and more. If you were thinking of buying and weren't sure You must get this. Oh, yeah my husband loves it too. He said in a small way it is like his sim games where you build and create. *very loosly based*
