The flip side of this is that, as in-depth as Jurassic World Evolution can be with its multitude of buildings, research paths and encyclopaedia of dino-facts, it certainly isn't a management sim that can compete with more serious examples of the genre and, as such, may put off some hardcore sim nuts. And responding to all of this in vehicles, with guns or by simply assigning tasks to your staff from on-high makes for a surprisingly visceral, action-packed slant to a genre that is all too often just a little bit dry.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Crowds of punters scream and flee as beasts break out of containment and make a beeline for the gift shop, tropical storms roll in and take out the power or tear up electric fencing that's been containing your hungry raptors. Whether your dinosaurs escape by accident, becoming unhappy with their surroundings and scaling a wall, or whether you've quite purposefully engineered your park in such a way that everybody is going to die horribly, when things get out of control here it's always a good time. ![]() Fans of the films will no doubt delight in all the little details and references (Jeff Goldblum is even along for the ride here) as well as the ability to get right down to the ground level, riding around in those awesome jeeps from the original movie, switching to first-person mode to fire a medicine dart into a sick dino's leathery neck or jumping into a helicopter to hunt down a rogue T-Rex, tranquilising it before it grabs a tourist, shakes it around and swallows it headfirst in gloriously graphic detail. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)Īnd it's this chaos – or at least the constant threat that it's about to emerge – that makes this such an endlessly fun game to spend time with. Yes, you'll get down to the usual business of finance management and building toilets, cafes and shops to appease every idiot who decides it's a good idea to bring their kids along to stand and stare at an Indominus Rex who really wants to rip their tiny heads off, but here you also get to muck about with genetics, create new strains of dino, pit herbivore against carnivore, build those daft balls people can ride around the park in and cause all manner of chaos, should you wish to do so. Frontier, you clever girl!įor those among you who have yet to accept the challenge of caging and controlling nature's most powerful killers and their peace-loving, plant-eating pals in the two years since this game originally released, what we've got here is the usual sim management shenanigans you'll be used to from the custodians of the Rollercoaster Tycoon series, with the added attraction of massive dinosaurs and tons of references to the entire series of Jurassic Park movies thus far. ![]() While the graphics here have certainly taken a pretty big hit and handheld mode's resolution results in a level of blur that sometimes looks as though a Dilophosaurus has spat all over your screen, this is – quite unbelievably – a perfectly playable and oftentimes very attractive version of the game. However, you would be wrong in this assumption and, as a result, must now go sit in a Portaloo and await your fate at the hands of a beast with huge teeth and tiny Donald Trump claws. Given that Jurassic World Evolution is a game that sometimes struggles to perform perfectly on even the most mighty and powerful of home consoles and PCs, you’d be forgiven for expecting this Switch port to be nothing short of a Jurassic Park 3-level disaster. Now, thanks to Frontier Developments, you have the opportunity to seize the reins and design and build your very own disaster land your very own (Alan Partridge voice) Jurassic Park!
