Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis... any good?
I saw this one discussion over at the Dino's forums a while back, where somebody said that if someone came up with a good game about dinosaurs it would be a definite hit, and then everybody else said that since nobody has done so already, a game about dino's can't be such a huge hit.

Anyways, I went to BestBuy today to buy myself a nice little firewire adapter, and saw the game Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. From what I gather, it is a sim game, where you basically build the Jurassic Park. And it also has some elements of arcade, where if your dinos go nuts, you go around shooting them... Yeah... I don't know, that didn't sound too exciting, but then again, neither did Zoo Tycoon, which turned out to be a decent game (though not particularly to my taste).

So, any of you all heard about this game / played it? Is it any good?

Yeah. Go to the official site:

http://www.bluetongue.com/jurassicpark/

It's under downloads. I don't know, I tried the demo back when it first became available. But it doesn't realy give you a feeling of what's the game going to be like. There is the tutorial, and the shooting dinos mission, IIRC. I liked the music a lot (well, it is taken from the movie, any ways), but I really wasn't sure about the gameplay. Just that now that I got reminded about it again, I thought I'd ask what other folks think.



So, cast your votes.

Downloading it now. This seems like a good site for you to get an informed opinion on the game: http://www.jpdatabase.com/index.php?board=22

Aha, thanks. I'll lurk their forums a bit, if I get the time, to see what's going on.
