LEGO Jurassic World Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Although it debuted in 2015 for almost every console under the sun, Lego Jurassic World is now available for Switch and it's great fun.
Overall, LEGO Jurassic World is a great love letter both to fans of the Jurassic Park franchise and fans of LEGO games. The strange addition of quick-time events to this entry was annoying, but looking past that, there is still a lot of content to enjoy. It would have been nice to see some Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom content here too, but considering the game’s original release window, it’s still a must own for all Jurassic Park fans. Plus, having this package on the go makes the Switch version the ideal platform to play on. This may be just what a family needs in order to tide them ove…
LEGO works its magic on the four Jurassic Park movies – creating a fun-filled game for all the family.
What is so amazing about the LEGO series of games is that developer TT Games consistently creates titles that are fun, fresh and enjoyable. They manage to accomplish this by simply taking the concepts and best parts of a movie, putting on a LEGO spin, and developing a memorable gaming experience. Their latest title for the Nintendo Switch, LEGO Jurassic World, is no exception.
These days, if a brand finds itself considered pop-culture then there are two eventualities that are almost a certainty. Firstly, the inevitable onslaught of Funko Pop Vinyl figurines that casts every single character in cute and irritatingly adorable plastic models. Secondly, a LEGO game, incidentally involving irritatingly adorable plastic models. The Jurassic Park franchise, it would seem, has not escaped the clutches of the Danish toy manufacturer and developer TT Games – although it's yet to get Funko'd, unfortunately.
It’s admittedly a bit of a challenge to properly review Traveller’s Tales Lego titles as they all stick to pretty much the same formula, give or take some
The name of the game pretty much spells out exactly what you can expect: LEGO Jurassic World. It is the traditional, Travelers' Tale LEGO experience that is becoming all too familiar, set in a Jurassic Park setting. Nothing more. Nothing less.
God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates video game featuring dinosaurs.
As charming and accessible as any Lego game but Jurassic Park doesn’t suit the Lego formula terribly well and the ability to play as dinosaurs is underused.
Though I have plenty to complain about with LEGO Jurassic World, it’s because I have spent the last number of years playing through each of them with family members. Most of my platinum trophies have occurred thanks to LEGO games. Chances are I will be getting a platinum in this one too, as the game functions well enough for me to somehow enjoy myself despite all of its irritations. In both single player and co-op, there’s still fun to be had, and most people play the LEGO games for the fun factor. You’ll find nothing ground breaking in LEGO Jurassic World, but it is so rushed that I can…
Visually, Lego Jurassic World looks incredibly accurate to the toys it’s based on. These iconic film locations are incredibly charming when built from Lego, as are the characters of the films in minifigure form. The non-Lego environment pieces are exceptional as well, as they evoke a childish nostalgia, as though you’re playing with Lego pieces outside.
