Here’s our family guide to Lego Jurassic World. Lego Jurassic World is a new entry in the popular series of Lego adaptations of existing franchises. Like the others, it’s an action-adventure game with themed levels, objectives, and enemies, and players can collect and play as many different characters from the franchise. As in the other Lego games, players solve puzzles, fight enemies, destroy environments to collect studs, build new objects out of piles of Lego they come across, and explore to collect characters and hidden objects. New in this game, players can collect and customize dinosaurs to then use in the hub world and to progress the story. A local co-op mode allows two people to play through the adventure together on a divided screen. Other recent games in the Lego series include Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and Lego The Hobbit. There is also a Jurassic World expansion pack planned for upcoming toys-to-life game Lego Dimensions. Lego Jurassic World follows the stories of the four Jurassic Park films, including the new film Jurassic World, with five levels based on each film making 20 levels in total.
Players will be able to play as more than 100 characters from these films, including more than 20 dinosaurs. As with other Lego adaptations of existing franchises, Lego Jurassic World was developed by Traveller’s Tales. Lego Jurassic World is available for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, Vita, and 3DS. With no online multiplayer, there’s no need to have a subscription to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live. With 20 levels and a free-play mode, the game should keep players occupied for a long time. As with the other Lego games, when characters “die” they just collapse into a pile of Lego bricks and soon reappear. Any difficulty in the game will come from working out how to solve the puzzles. In the UK and Europe, PEGI rates Lego Jurassic World as only appropriate for those aged 7 and older for “non realistic looking violence towards fantasy characters – violence that is set in a cartoon, slapstick or child like setting that could be upsetting to very young children” and “pictures or sounds likely to be scary to young children”.
Some young players may find the dinosaurs scary, as in the films on which the game is based. Beyond this, it’s a story about learning to work with wild animals, not just de-clawing them. People play the Lego games for their humour and simple but enjoyable mechanics, particularly for the satisfying feeling of destroying objects in the game’s environments and collecting the Studs. Some players may skip Jurassic World as they wait for Lego Dimensions, but as with the other Lego games based on other franchises, fans of the Jurassic Park films will particularly enjoy this game.What you need to know This content is sold by Nintendo of Europe GmbH.

We're really going down the meta-rabbit hole here. The latest release in the long-running and prolific LEGO series of video games from TT Fusion and Warner Bros. is The LEGO Movie Video Game [$4.99]. It's a game based on a movie, based on a toy, whose sense of humor and visual style was heavily drawn from the games based on the toys made from licenses of other movies. This version specifically is a slightly modified port of the game as it appeared on the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, so don't expect any open world shenanigans or levels drawn from the console version of the game. It most closely resembles LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe In Peril [$4.99], which I enjoyed more than the usual fare due to it being less of poor imitation of the console versions and more of a game built for handheld play. You would think that would mean I'd be pretty happy with The LEGO Movie Video Game. I kind of am in a way, but in another way, an admittedly very silly way, it bothers me. Not really so much for the game itself, mind you.
Like LEGO Marvel, the game is made up of a bunch of short, focused levels, each with a number of tasks to check off in addition to the main goal of beating the stage. There's actually quite a bit of variety to the stages here compared to the last game, with lots of vehicles and a few levels where you need to guide Emmet safely through a long fall. To successfully check off a goal, you have to complete it and then finish the stage, which can actually be something of a challenge at times, a rare treat in the LEGO line-up. There's even a nice reward for completing these goals, as many of them will unlock a character or power-up that you can purchase with the LEGO studs you've collected. You can even unlock stud multipliers this way, helping ease the spiked economy of this iOS version compared to its handheld cohorts. The presentation is also quite nice. The Nintendo DS has officially been left behind with this game, so TT Fusion can go a little more wild with the visuals and audio. The game is much prettier in its finer details as a result, and the stages also offer slightly more complex constructions than we saw in LEGO Marvel.
As in the prior game, the camera is now fixed to an isometric viewpoint, which makes things a lot smaller but spares you most of the camera headaches of earlier games. Between stages, you're frequently treated to clips from the movie, and they look and sound great while providing fairly smooth transitions from stage to stage. How about that great theme song, "Everything Is Awesome", eh? I hope you like it, you'll be hearing it an awful lot, both in its original form and in arrangements. The game also features iCloud support, a couple of different control methods to choose from, and a lovely selection of IAPs if you're impatient and want Batman now. Everything can be unlocked without paying if you're patient enough to save up those studs, and you'll probably be replaying levels more than a few times to check off the list of goals anyway. Basically, it's business as usual for the LEGO games. So why does this one rankle me? Well, before I explain, let me just say that I warned you that it's a silly reason.
If it's something that doesn't bother you, feel free to apply whatever score you think should be on a LEGO Movie-flavored LEGO Marvel: Universe In Peril. It's no better or worse of an actual game than that one, so it's really all a matter of what the license does for you. The LEGO Movie was an excellent, entertaining movie that had a very difficult task ahead of it. It had to somehow take a toy that amounts to a plastic sandbox and create a narrative that not only made sense, but also kept true to the creative spirit that put LEGO bricks in the hearts of so many of us and our children. I'm not sure if any of you had much confidence in that happening when the movie was announced, but I know I didn't. At best, I was expecting something cheeky and funny like the LEGO video games have been. Well, that movie definitely put my fears to rest and then some. It's a wonderful celebration of LEGO's history and what the toy means to everyone. In the beginning, it seems like it's pushing the line that instructions are conformist junk and pure creativity is the real way to play, but then suddenly balances it out by showing that while creativity is to be applauded, anarchy isn't always the best way to get things done.
Basically, however you play with your toys, there's no wrong way to do it. It's beautiful, in a way. In another way, it's just a funny movie that kids and adults alike can enjoy. Who would have thought it? That's why this game bugs me. It's following the instructions to a tee, just like Emmet did at the start of the movie. It questions nothing, marching in lockstep with the games that came before it. Most of the abilities of the large cast of characters are holdovers from games released 10 years ago. Almost all of the puzzles are the same. At some points, the game almost teases you by letting you drag one or two bricks over onto an object being built. Why can't I just build it myself from scratch? Give me all the pieces and let me put it together. Dragging and dropping a single block is not only neither interesting nor fun, it's a reminder that LEGO games have long since established themselves as rigid things that don't allow you to be creative in the slightest. All of the building is pre-set, and you have no choice but to follow the instructions.
You can destroy so much, and build so little. How is it that a movie, a linear and passive experience by the very nature of the media, is able to more accurately capture the essential creativity of LEGO than a video game? This criticism has always sat in my peripheral vision with every LEGO game I've played, but here, in a game using a license that is pure LEGO, it can't help but come sharply into focus. So no, everything is not awesome. Everything is the same as ever. Everything is boring and expected. TT could give me their lineup for the next five years and I could probably imagine their games down to the smallest detail just from knowing the titles. The gameplay is fun in a mindless way and the sense of humor is great as usual, but there's something that just feels wrong about this brand doing nothing but spinning its wheels creatively. I hope someday that TT loses the instructions and builds their video game equivalent of a double-decker sofa, but today isn't that day. Today, it's just another LEGO game.
