i am amazed at this game i hated all the other jurassic park games but this is the best.
the graphics are pretty and the dinosaurs look very similar to thier counterparts in the films.If you love the movies and like games like zoo tycoon then you should get this.
you make your very own deathtrap,uh i mean dinosaur preserve.u hav to check on security
and whether ur customers are happy or not andd u have to see if ur dinos r doin OK.
and thiers a cool option called sight B that u can unlock once u beat all the missions
its were u can make as much dinosaurs as u want and u cant make any buildings and
u watch ur dinos roam free.thats basicllay Jp Operation genesis in a nutshell.

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.

This is a great game for the xbox. I'm not a fan of any sim games, but this was fun. The graphics are good and so is the sound, although it would have been nicer to have some more sounds and music. You can play missions, build a park, or play site B. You can unlock site B by successfully completing each of the missions. The missions are not hard, I beat all but 2 in 1 try and the others in 2 trys, so don't hold your breath there. The site B is ok, I guess, you just make Dinos and watch them....so what. The best part of the game is the park building! It's fun and provides alot of replay value ie. you'll never have the same site, park, starting dinos, layout, etc, so have it! It is on the easy side so kids should be able to do it. It's a little too easy that's why a four star rating.
Pros: 1. its Jurassic park 2. graphics 3. alot of controls 4. easy to learn 5. built in tutorials 6. great camera 7. ability to do your own shooting, rescuing, shot giving. 8. Great replay value.
Cons: 1. almost too easy 2. more sounds/noise/music needed
3. more levels of control 4. enough with the emails already!
5. need to be able to set default orders to eliminate email questions (otherwise what do those people have those jobs for?)
