Details from the novel also emerge here and are addressed to clean up the canon of the film series, things like the supposed lysine dependency meant to keep the dinosaur population under control and InGen’s efforts to deal with the sabotage of the park being addressed here as well. Set just around the ending of the first Jurassic Park film, this game aims to try and answer a few lingering questions and tie up some loose ends, things like the Barbasol can full of dinosaur embryos Nedry lost being reincorporated here as a central plot point. Jurassic Park: The Game does try to please Jurassic Park fans in more ways than just shoving dinosaurs in their faces though. A Jurassic Park game would need some dinosaur action, so Telltale took a chance and tried to marry the heavy narrative focus of an adventure game with the action and setpieces one would hope to find in a crowdpleasing dinosaur game… to mixed results.

Jurassic Park: The Game is certainly part of this experimental phase, particularly because unlike other series and franchises they adapted before like Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit, there would be a heavy expectation weighing on the game.

Before Telltale Games hit it big with games like The Walking Dead, they were still trying to figure out how to reinvent the adventure game for modern audiences.
