While not every LEGO title is getting a new lease on life with the Nintendo Switch, I’m glad that LEGO Jurassic World is. But that 10% always seems to come at the worst possible time, often leading to deaths that don’t seem ‘fair.’ While it may be minor, when it does happen it can ruin my game playing experience, especially if it sets me back in the level or causes me to lose out on getting the True Adventurer for a level. I would argue that 90% of the time, it is fine. The only downside to this title is – like all LEGO games – the camera angles. It created a minor amount of frustration when, after completing the first movie, I was given many extras to do around the world, very few of which I could actually do at that time. I wish when you attempted to do some of these extras, and if you didn’t have the correct character, it told you where you could find that character. I wish the character selection screen showed which characters offer up certain skills.įor the longest time, I couldn’t figure out who I needed to buy, and/or collect from a different level, in order to take pictures, break locks, and much more. When you do finally get that bright blue T-Rex, roaming around the open world is great, and there is plenty to do. It often isn’t very deep – just changing the dinosaur’s colors – but it’s still an added touch that will resonate with a few consumers. It’s back and better than ever on Nintendo Switch, except the customization is with the dinosaurs. This customization appears once again in LEGO Jurassic World when it was originally released in 2015, and has expanded into numerous other LEGO titles since. In LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U, characters could be customized and changed. Combat has always been the weakest part of LEGO games, so to see it minimized is amazing. I never felt that I missed the long combat scenarios. Most of them he could complete on his own. It only took my son a bit of hand holding to navigate through the toughest of puzzles. The puzzles, while often simple, use the game world really well. The increase in puzzles is a nice touch to offset the loss of frequent combat sequences.
Of course, LEGO has spun this scene on its head, and before you know it, the cow is operating the crane and the crane operator is soon to be dinosaur lunch! This humor, and more like it throughout, had my five year old son rolling on the floor in laughter. For example, early on in Jurassic Park, a group of dinosaur care people prepare to lift a cow into a dinosaur enclosure.
The humor is created by extras that the development team added in. Traveler’s Tales seems to have a knack at it by bringing the first 4 movies, and all the DLC launches to the Nintendo Switch.
This is probably easier said than done because movies rarely ever translate to a video game.

They just copied the movie script! In deed they did, but they captured the feel and look of the movies, but in LEGO form. Ever since the Lord of the Rings LEGO title came out, Travelers Tales has worked on putting voicing into all their games. The games and levels mimic the movies they are trying to recreate very closely, but of course, they add their own unique LEGO humor. With the focus on combat gone, Travelers Tales has given more time to environmental destruction, helpful hints for those young LEGO fans, and more puzzles to complete. LEGO Jurassic World combines everything I liked about LEGO video games and largely removes the only thing I really hated: the combat.
