There is a much higher focus on the simple puzzles and switching between the different characters to achieve your goals. That being said there is an obvious move away from the block busting combat (huh, geddit?) that was so prominent in previous titles. Regardless I didn’t really enjoy playing as the dinosaurs and found it out of place to have a triceratops for a team member but that’s just me. They look good and often work fine but can occasionally feel clunky and awkward, especially when rotating. Controlling the dinosaurs isn’t quite as fun as hoped but without them running around as normal people with little in the way of abilities may have been dull. It amazes me every time how Lego games can make me genuinely laugh. It’s impossible to play LJW without having at least a little fun and probably a few laughs – even if you feel slightly guilty about finding something funny. For everyone else it’s the same old game again but with dinosaurs instead of whatever character set was in the latest Lego game you’ve played.īut the gameplay still has that classic Lego fun factor. To anyone who hasn’t played a Lego game yet, and I can’t imagine there’s many left, there will be some fun solving the simple yet occasionally satisfying problems. So on you go finding characters, both dinosaurs and people, and solving puzzles.

Or more specifically smash everything that looks destructible so you can find which item you were supposed to smash, then build something from the debris. In fact your very first challenge is a staple of the Lego games involving finding something to smash and then building something useful from the debris.

Soon you are confronted with the usual friendly Lego puzzles. There’s something quite magical about driving the iconic red and grey 4 wheel drive through the first formidable gates of Jurassic Park. Although it can be a bit of a pig at times to navigate your way through levels everything is on offer. When arriving at the island you can simply select which way to go one way leads to the older films and the other to the new Jurassic World. Luckily for anyone that was a fan of the original films, LJW is as expansive as any other Lego title and covers every Jurassic Park film there is. So Lego Jurassic World seems like a winning combo.
#LEGO JURASSIC WORLD GAME SERIES#
Despite the fact the series got worse with every new release the original will always have it’s place in my memory as a childhood classic.

Giant prehistoric creatures and ground breaking CG are always a winning combination. On top of that the original Jurassic Park was a significant part of my cinematic education growing up. I’ve been playing and loving Lego games since the first Lego Star Wars.
#LEGO JURASSIC WORLD GAME LICENSE#
It’s been a successful formula for the most part, although with a few missteps, to have familiar gameplay and objectives with the latest license wrapped around it. It’s time for another adventure through the block filled world of Lego. The latest film with enough money and cinematic clout to own a small country is out and we all know what that means.
