My kids aren’t huge gamers but they do have some favorites that they really enjoy playing on occasion. They can’t resist a Lego video game and the new Lego Jurassic World is no exception. The game which recently became available for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita and PC follows the story lines of all the Jurassic Park movies including The Lost World, Jurassic Park III and the latest movie in the series, Jurassic World. It’s the first video game that players will can experience and relive all four films while exploring the grounds of Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.
- Play as one of 20 LEGO dinosaurs including the friendly Triceratops, deadly Raptor, vicious Compy and even the mighty T. rex.
- Customize your own dinosaur collection: Collect LEGO amber and experiment with DNA to create completely original dinosaurs, like the Dilophosaurus Rex.
- Populate and explore Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna: Put your unique dinosaur creations in to paddocks as you complete special Free Play missions.
- Play with family and friends with easy access drop-in, drop-out gameplay option. (Available on console only.)
As a parent, I love the Lego video games because they don’t have graphic violence but the do encourage strategic thinking and teamwork (with two players). Jurassic World is a big deal right now and Legos have been a hit with kids for ages. The combination of the two is genius and will not disappoint.
I’m going to have to get this. My nephew would love it.
