As Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm stand next to their vehicle waiting for you to take control, the rain is lashing down, the lighting is pitch perfect and even the camera angle is hovering close to the ground, to give that classic horror film framing. Yet what really stands out here is just how TT have absolutely nailed the look of the scenes. Instead, you’re roaming the area to solve a few little puzzles in order to distract the dinosaur (building a jack in the box with a big bone does the trick nicely, it seems) and get the kids to safety. This entire scene is given its own unique LEGO twist, with far less pressure and stress than in the film. It could be the “Must go faster!” chase, the research bus sliding off a cliff or the velociraptors in the kitchen, but let’s face it, there’s nothing more recognisable than the sight of a T-rex chewing on the tyre of one of the park’s tour vehicles. With five levels devoted to each of the four films, LEGO Jurassic World will look to really pick out the iconic moments from each. They’re new allies for you to make use of, smashing through tree trunks and breaking open rocks with a charge attack, in this case, but with each of the twenty playable dinosaurs – a new one in each level – come new abilities. However one-liners for a dinosaur manifest themselves in the form of grunting and hellish roars, and in a rather unique twist for this game, as the triceratops gets back up on its feet, you can now take control of the dinosaurs. He does have certain abilities, like all of the characters do, but his personality is what shines through at the end of the day.” Tim continued, “He does bring an amazing amount of wit to the game, and as you saw in the demonstration, he’s got all of the classic one liners and he brings his personality to the game more than his abilities. “He does have some abilities,” Tim replied when I asked, “but there’s lots of weapons in the game as well, so he’ll be quite weapon focussed.” Though it was only once I stopped recording that Tim recalled Ian’s puzzle solving abilities, as a mathematician and chaos theorist. Ian Malcolm – Jeff Goldblum’s wisecracking character – has some abilities. I can only imagine the kinds of… interesting combinations needed to heal the other poorly dinosaurs in the game.Īs always, you’ll be hopping between characters to make use of different abilities, such as Alan Grant’s raptor claw to hack through foliage or Lex’s glass shattering scream. In this case, searching the nearby area with the help of one of the keepers at the park – Gerry Harding, who’s able to track trails in the area and shoot things with his tranquilliser gun – allows you to grow an apple tree and also dig through more dung to find a carrot and an ice lolly. Dinosaur toilet humour at its best.ĭino doo-doo diving for this skilled paleobotanist lets her figure out the handful of things that will help get the triceratops back on its feet. In LEGO Jurassic World, she dives head first into the mountain of poo and roots around for clues. Ellie Sattler is eager to get her hands dirty with helping to diagnose the dinosaur’s malady, by digging into its poo. So it is in the first scene shown in the demo, as the still awestruck party of visitors to Isla Nublar come across a sick triceratops. Not only our fans, but gamers in general have wanted a true representation, a playable representation of those three films.īut what makes these games special is how they adapt the source material, with plenty of slapstick humour married to knowing nods and winks for older fans. Obviously the Jurassic World franchise is something that’s come along relatively recently, but the Jurassic Park trilogy is seen as a classic series of films and it’s something that fans of our games have wanted for a long time. Speaking to Tim Wileman, Associate Producer at Traveller’s Tales, he said, “I think our fans have always wanted a Jurassic Park game especially. So there’s an understandable excitement at the prospect of Traveller’s Tales giving these films the LEGO treatment, even if they’ll live under the Jurassic World brand of this year’s upcoming film. ![]() There’s not really any denying that these creatures which once roamed the Earth have captured the imaginations of countless people, and a big part of what helped to cement them in the modern psyche is Jurassic Park, an iconic film series that really set a new benchmark for cinematography in the early 90s. ![]()
