“Very fun! I adore all of the dino models, even if some are outdated. The graphics in general look very good and clean. Gameplay is pretty intuitive if you have an understanding of how park sims work. I run this game…”

“This game is great. It's definetly not as advanced as JWE 2/3 in terms of mechanics, but it has a nice charm. I think the actual campaign is far better than in JWE2. Would recommend, but buy it on sale as 45 euro is a…”

“It's a bunch of waiting without the pause/fast forward options in later games, but its an excellent first installment of a great game franchise!”
