How it feels

A brisk, no-frills dinosaur action romp that feels like a Saturday afternoon movie tie-in — punchy, familiar, and energetic without overstaying its welcome.

About

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an action-adventure video game developed by DreamWorks Interactive and Appaloosa Interactive, and published by Electronic Arts and Sega for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, respectively, in 1997. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is based on the film of the same name, which in turn is based on the novel by Michael Crichton. In 1998 a special edition of the game was released for the Sony PlayStation as a Greatest Hits title and featured several modifications to the gameplay.

What players say

A licensed dinosaur action-platformer with impressively immersive jungle atmosphere and roaring beasts, letting you play as both prey and predators like the T-rex. Ambitious but uneven, with awkward human controls and cheap, frustratingly difficult segments.
