Telltale Games did it again!

An adrenaline-rushing, heart-pumping, edge of the seat-grabbing adventure, Jurassic Park: The Game is definitely a game you'll want to grab if you've enjoyed any of Telltale's stuff in the past and that you really like the Jurassic Park and/or dinosaurs in general.

The story is very well paced out and excellently written; and has some interesting plot twists (No spoilers! Caught you peeking, didn't I? ;) ). Plus, everything in the game, especially the story, is brought alive with cinematic quality voice acting and somewhat great quality animation (Note that the game is relatively old-er). The game is also filled with plenty of heart-warming moments in addition to those "adrenaline highs" where you'll get to learn more about each character, know their quirks and perhaps even learn to emphasize with them.

However, I do have a bone to pick with the game... and that's because of some of the game's insane quick-time events (some of which are totally unexpected). It's not that those events are too quick to react to; it's mainly because even if I'm tapping furiously the indicator doesn't seem to be moving as fast as I'm tapping... and that will most definitely put you through deaths after deaths where you'll just be repeating the same sets of sequences until you finally get it right.

In fact, considering that your badge rarity will drop every time the character you're controlling dies, it can be nothing short of frustrating especially if you have an OCD like me and would like to get a gold badge for every scene.

That being said, I still think that its story alone triumphs any and everything bad about this game, making the game worth every cent of its asking price.

Although personally, I prefer their The Walking Dead adventures, this is a pretty close second. It's a story-rich adventure that's done right, and that's all that matters. The only sad thing here is that the game is no longer available to buy, unless you happen to buy the game elsewhere that is, and that Telltale Games is shutting down... due to, oddly enough, poor sales. Sometimes life just throws a good game studio a curve ball I guess. Same with the studio behind the Bioshock series. Well, at least they are dedicated enough to their fans and games to finish up on the final TWD game.

Special mention: Thanks to @mochagreen for gifting me this game! Loved every bit of the thrill and heartfelt moments in this adventure.
