Date played: June 25th
Platform: PS4
Yesterday's rain and thunderstorms made it easy to go to the basement and play some video games during the afternoon. My daughter watched as I played through the remaining levels of Jurassic Park 3. In terms of gameplay, it was a bit more interesting than the other movies because there's more characters to play with, each with unique abilities.
By far, the most interesting is Billy, who can climb vines, take photos and best of all, can paraglide! This made for some pretty cool puzzles and lots of action. I also had a guy with tranquilizer gun and a guy with a grappling hook.
The levels follow the story really closely, including the epic battle between Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus. One of the levels was all about their battle. We ended up helping the T-Rex to even the odds, blowing stuff up near the Spinosaurus whenever I could. There were even a few quick time events where I controlled the T-Rex during the battle.
Eventually, just like in the movie, Dr. Grant is separated from the group and ends up finding Eric, the missing kid. This kid is very clever and has found ways to survive, including some great camouflage. In fact, he can disguise himself and sneak past dinosaurs! He even has a bottle of T-Rex piss that he can throw on small dino nests to make them scatter. This kid is super useful!
Another great moment is when I took control of an ankylosaurus to fight some raptors. After feeding the big armored guy a carrot, a chocolate bar and something else, I gained control of it and swept it's big tail around, killing raptors left and right. It was great. The cut-scenes were really good in Jurassic Park 3, with lots of clever jokes that only works with Lego. The fact that they use the real voice lines from the movies makes it even funnier. We are now ready to enter the final portion of the game, Jurassic World! I can't wait!
