The only Jurassic Park games that I really liked was JP:OG, Jurassic Park: The Game, and the Lost World Arcade Game. Jurassic Park Builder and Jurassic World: The Game weren't bad games, they just weren't great games. I think that can be said for most Jurassic Park games, that they're not great but not bad. Now if you want a JP:OG experience, look up Mesozoica. It's an indie game made by a small group of people it's still being made as of now but it currently has about 40 prehistoric creatures all planned to be in the game with many more to come. And as an added bonus, there are going to be underwater creatures like Mosasaurus and Megalodon, pterosaurs like Pteranodon, and prehistoric creatures that aren't dinosaurs like Sarcosuchus and Kelenken. Same goes for Prehistoric Kingdom. I'm actually wondering why they haven't made a Jurassic World: Operation Genesis game. I'm guessing is that it's cheaper to make an iOS game and you'll get much more profit by having people buy in-game currency and dinosaur packs. Everyone who has played it knows that it's hard getting a lot of Dino dollars in Builder, although I have worked out a system for it. They're probably making more money on those micro transactions than they ever could on making a game, and that's pretty sad but probably true. Maybe with Jurassic World smashing so many box office records, they'll see how interested people are into dinosaurs and make a real successor to JPOG. With luck, maybe someone will see the number of people watching Operation Genesis videos on YouTube or see the number of people following Mesozoica and Prehistoric Kingdom and realize that there's a profit to be made and get a good game going. If not then I guess we will have to play off of indie developers and JPOG mods, which are amazing but just don't have the Jurassic Park name to back them up.
