Are the Sims too chatty for you? Is SimCity too metropolitan? Theme Park too tame? Here?s your E-ticket to dino-destruction, Jurassic Park?style.
Almost 10 years after the original Jurassic Park hit theaters, Vivendi Universal thinks you?re ready to take the reigns and rule the prehistoric theme park yourself. Operation Genesis will enable you to direct dinosaur digs, order genetic research, and clone and hatch your own dinosaurs from the ancient DNA your people extract. But cloned dinos do not a well-rounded theme park make, so you?ll also have to build security measures, hire janitors and rangers, set up hatcheries and feeding stations, and lay down paths, viewing vents, safaris, and other attractions to keep your patrons happy. You?ll even have to keep an eye on your main attractions?one good dinosaur rampage can really ruin your park?s drawing power. It will be up to you to hop into a helicopter and take down berserk brontosaurs before they can do serious damage.The preview version looked and played well with a well-rounded tutorial to get you into the action. If developer Blue Tongue can tighten up the load times and round out the bells and whistles, then dinomaniacs and sim fans alike should feel welcome at Jurassic Park.
