This is one of the down right worst games you'll ever play.
Where should I start? Well I guess I should give you some background info. So this island with dinosaurs has had its DNA capsules lost. Now you have to find the DNA and bring it back to the lab, but you'll have to face all kinds of dinosaurs and obstacles to do it. You take control of a person of your choice. There are 8 people to choose from, Rick Raptor and Missy Link (wtf…). It doesn't matter which character you choose, they all have the same skills and all look exactly the same. Once you choose, the gameplay gets started.
The gameplay is the most painful part of the game. You roll a dice and move around the board. After every turn you play a mini-game (sound like Mario Party?). The mini-games are horrendous to say the least. The games are either so ridiculously easy that they're no fun, or there so hard it makes you want to cry. I'll start out with an easy game example. There's a game where they show you a picture of a dinosaur, and you have to press a button depending on if it eats meat or plants. I mean, common! A trivia game? It's so easy, you can get everyone right with no skill at all. But I'd rather play that than one of the other ones. There's another one that's so hard… well just let me explain. You have to drive a car and pick up DNA samples at the same time. Easy? Well it would be, if there wasn't a ******* flying bird that dive-bombed your car every 2 seconds. You have to dodge this thing (which is impossible since he's 3 times bigger than your car) while picking up DNA samples, that's the whole mini-game. It's absolutely no fun at all.
Onto other things, this games graphics just stink. I know that these movie games don't focus on graphics, but I believe a game from 2005 shouldn't be able to play on the Nintendo 64. The characters are in suits that are white so there are basically no character models. I don't think there are shadows in the game either; I don't know what they were thinking with that. I'm not complaining too much about the graphics though, because at least they don't annoy the heck out of you like the gameplay does.
There's one last thing I'm going to complain about. Is that there is nothing more that can make you not like a game, than annoying characters. This game, is packed full of them; Actually, only one of them. There is an announcer, and he gives you a play by play of everything that is happening. That's not horrible, but he only has one line for every event that happens, so after a while you'll be pleading him to stop talking. He tries to crack jokes, but usually you'll only laugh because they are really lame. After a while, an annoying voice with lame jokes gets old, really old.
So that just about sums it up. This game breaks the top 3 of the worst games I've ever played. From annoying characters, to bust up graphics, to mini-games that a 5th grader could have came up with; this game is all around trash. I strongly warn you to not pick this game up, even for your kids or younger brother. It's not worth a single dollar. In fact, you'd have to pay me to play this game again. I'm almost not joking.
Jurassic Park III Danger Zone gets a whopping 2 out of 10 from me.
