If there is just one Heavy Rain-influenced game based on a Steven Spielberg film franchise from the nineties that you simply must play this Fall, Jurassic Park: The Game is that game. Why? In a single word, dinosaurs. Jurassic Park: The Game may be the most dino-tacular adventure ever committed to a digital medium, and the developers at TellTale Games have just released the trailer to prove it.
Having made its debut at PAX Prime over the weekend, the Jurassic Park: The Game Action Montage trailer has escaped into the wild, where it lies in wait for the eyeballs of unwary gamers. The trailer’s very fabric is made up of dinosaur attacks — T-Rex attacks, Velociraptor ambushes, even poisonous dinosaur bites.
That the trailer also manages to offer a solid look at the game in action is a bonus, though unlike previous trailers, it is never clear whether these scenes feature any player involvement. Fortunately, that takes nothing away from the abundant dino fun on display.
Check it out below, but remember that these scenes are apt to be scary for the younger gamers in the audience.
The new trailer trades on the game’s cinematic heritage (the lack of any Spielberg-ian shots of flashlight beams in the darkness must be an oversight), which falls right in line with our impressions of Jurassic Park from E3 2011. At the end of the day, this will be a game for people who loved the films.
Where does that leave gamers? Despite the frantic pace of the trailer, the question of how well Jurassic Park: The Game’s action-focused scenes will mesh with TellTale’s traditionally measured approach to design remains. Will there be enough actual action to keep Modern Warfare 3 fans entertained? We’ll have to wait until the game’s November release date to find out. If nothing else, the trailer proves that the game’s cinematics will be dinosaur packed and nicely directed.
Ranters, are you up for another visit to Jurassic Park? Are dinosaurs the new zombies? Let us know what you think!
Jurassic Park: The Game is due November 15, 2011 on the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360.

are dinos the new zombies? really? is that serious? the game hasnt came out yet and you want us to seriously comment on that?
i guess that they could make a hybrid of the two, zombie trex and stuff, hell, they made nazi zombies, in WW2, in the pentagon, and on the moon… I bet someone somewhere is thinking up that game as we speak…
zombies are in everything nowadays, games, tv, movies, graphic novels, novels, toys and even comic books… Marvel has marvel zombies where captain america (who stands for good and protecting people) is a zombie that eats people, spiderman (great power comes great… hunger) eats his dear aunt may and MJ, hulk (the strongest one there is) is the hungriest one there is…
when will it end?
The maddnes needs to stop, because everywhere you look you will see a reference to something dead and walking around (twillight, underworld, call of duty, the walking dead, WWZ, etc…)
And to everybody that cant get enough zombies, youre an idiot, zombies are not to be treated as heros or anti heros or anything except a virus and plague, just like people who constantly buy that crap…
you sound a little mad bro….
But in all seriousness, what’s the big deal? so what if people like zombies or dinosaurs, or dinosaur zombies? You’re entitled to your own opinion just like everyone else, but you don’t need to berate other people for liking something you don’t, that’s just ignorant.
On topic, I’m actually quite interested to see what this game has to offer, especially since I was a huge JP/dinosaur fan as a kid.
I couldn’t agree more. I am though admittedly a Zombie lover. I only like the normal stuff though, like, Resident evil.
umm why did you bring up zombies?
sorry didn’t see the last part of the article heehee
It clearly says MAC also at the end of the trailer and you are missing it out at the end of the article in the platform list.
Honestly, this game looks like crap. The T-Rex looks like a clay doll. This game is destined to bomb with graphics like that.
I vote for a Re-vamp on the Dino-Crisis series.
I really don’t like the graphics… and something about the, “You knew!? YOU KNEW!?” line, tells me the story is going to be less than inspiring.
It kinda boring looking. It’s another weird take on the game that will set back a truly quality title further away from fruition.
I want a good survival horror/action adventure Jurassic Park. Not those genres specifically, but one or both would be awesome. We haven’t really ever had a good Jurassic Park game. I am not a graphic buff either, but the game looks like it should have been released a few years ago.
i just heard about this game and i was PUMPED ……
that is until i actually saw it
that rex is terrible though the raptors looked pretty good and the fact that their trying to make a whole new story when the old one isent broken angers me the sad thing is ive wanted to see this for a while and now that i found out its happening im deeply sadend cuz this game will flop and stop anyone from funding another one that may actually be good
and by the way if you wanna see zombie dinos i think the OG xbox’s dino crisis 3 had em or mabey they were aliens i dont know but it was really cool lookin
i also must agree that this game should have been released around the time as hitman blood money
honestly alot of games have let me down latley
arkham city was weak in every way you can think of
xmen destiny made me almost break my 360 out of sheer hatred
dragon ball and naruto better not suck or ill end up just stop playing games
if i actually had to pay for more than my dual layers id kill my self lol
