While previous LEGO games have had their glitches, LEGO Jurassic World has a few more weird glitches and issues than we're used to, some of which can lose you a fair amount of play time. Oh, and she can hack computers too - just not by screaming.
So while Jurassic World's Owen Grady can dive into piles of dinosaur poo to find useful items, Jurassic Park's Dr Ian Malcom can crack open a flare to light dark areas, and Jurassic World's Lex Murphy (aka that-one-who-screams-a-lot) can, well, scream.
As in the earlier games, each character has their own set of special abilities, that mean you'll need to either work with your co-op partner, or switch between characters to access new areas. Whether you're in the levels or out of them, the emphasis in the LEGO games is on working together.
While the cutscenes are short and snappy, and move the plot along at a heck of a pace (occasionally making it a bit tricky to really understand exactly what's going on), the story isn't overly complex - or overly important to the gameplay. Luckily, you don't need to be the world's biggest Jurassic Park fan to appreciate this game, and even if you haven't seen all the films (or in the case of kids, if they're too young to have seen the originals), you aren't likely to find yourself too out of your depth. Taking you through the most memorable moments from the films, whether that's hiding from the T-rex under your crushed LEGO car (objects in the mirror are closer than they appear), or taking to the gyrospheres to explore the plains in Jurassic World, if there was a wow factor moment in the films, you can pretty much guarantee it's been turned into a level in the games. Making your way around the fully explorable, "open world" island on foot (or, in a nice touch, in one of the game's many two-person vehicles), your time will divided between exploring the island, hunting out the game's collectibles, and playing through the six or so story driven levels, each based on key events from the film in question. From a brick perfect recreation of Jurassic Park's Isla Nublar, through to an uncanny take on Jurassic World's fully blown theme park, complete with shops, monorail and giant shark eating dinosaur, all made out of LEGO, the attention to detail is something else. The game here is divided up per film, with each film getting its own "island" in the game world for you to explore. Regular cutscenes along the way helping to keep the story going, and sprinkle in some of the traditional slapstick LEGO humour, with voices lifted directly from the film. Best enjoyed with a friend/other-half/child in tow, you'll have to work together as you make your way through a distinctly more cheerful, more slapstick version of the Jurassic films. A drop-in, drop-out brick building, baddie bashing, puzzle solving co-op adventure, the LEGO games are easy to pick up and play, and a heck of a lot of fun. Those who've played a LEGO game before will know what they're in for here - and those who haven't are in for a treat.
