Jurassic Lost Island is an epic, story-driven first-person shooter set on a dark, mysterious island that connects the modern world with the age of dinosaurs. Take on the role of Craig Dylan, a weapons and survival expert, hired to protect a research team sent to study the strange temporal energy of the island and recover whatever is left of the expedition lost on the island 25 years ago. Every minute is a fight for survival as Dylan must scavenge weapons, defend barricades, and battle titanic dinosaurs to return to his own time.

User Reviews about Jurassic: The Hunted

As someone who is a fan of almost everything prehistoric, I had to have Jurassic The Hunted when I heard about it. I received it as a gift for Christmas, and it sat on my shelf almost forgotten until today.

I actually had a lot of fun with Jurassic. This is not a high production game, so don't go into it expecting anything amazing and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The graphics aren't anything top shelf, but they're pretty good for a budget title I think, especially the dinos. The boss fights are fun, controls are responsive and the sound is pretty good (I played with my surround sound booming). It's a fairly easy game, but with some frustrating parts sprinkled in (and not in a good, challenging way). It's definitely on the short side, which may be a turn off to some; I beat it in one sitting over the course of 4 or 5 hours today. There's some replay value, as beating the game unlocks 'hard mode', and there's also a survivor mode.

If you're looking for a dinosaur game, there ain't much to choose from so I'd say go for it, likewise if you just want some honest, mindless fun. Trophy collectors take note, this should be an easy platinum for your PSN-ID.

I wish I could give half stars, because I feel this is a 3.5/5 or 7/10 title.

-- A short, fun budget title

I decided to pick-up this game because my wife and I enjoyed playing the original Dino Crisis games back on the PS1. So I figured this game might offer of dino-shooting entertainment. This game however is an FPS, maybe more of a successor to Turok. It has some of the trademark bad dialogue and voice attributable another Capcom franchise: Resident Evil. The plot is pretty much nonsense involving the Bermuda triangle and time travel, but not told in any way that enhances the gameplay experience. The dinos and jungle backgrounds are fairly well done and there's some selection of weapons: a 1911 .45 pistol, a fully-auto Glock 9mm, a 30-06 BAR, a 44 magnum, a shotgun, a musket, and an assault rifle. The only problem is that each weapon has essentially the same effects on the dinos, so the bullets from the 9mm act the same as those from the magnum. That took away from the experience for me. Overall I did get thru one play-thru. I'm inclined to rate this more a 2.5 than a 3, but rounded-up for the game's benefit. -- aka Dino Crisis 4

Let me begin by saying how difficult it is to review this title. As I highly anticipated it's eventual price-drop from it's initial $50 bucks I could not have for-seen the thankfulness for doing so. I did some basic research into this title beforehand and discovered numerous other reviews stating "okay for a budget title" so being fairly new to the PS3-esque world I did not know what "budget title" for this system meant with other games being so awesome.
The reviewers were right. While not a "bad" game by any means it DOES manage to disappoint. Graphics are a bit choppy to the point where they remind me of very early "high graphics" titles for PC back in the original Need For Speed days. Graphics aside, dinosaur variety was also sorely a miss. You maybe see 3 species in abundance. Keep in mind however that these are the ONLY enemies that you are fighting. Example, walking walking walking, then something pops out of the bushes that is supposed to resemble a Raptor (forget anything you think you know about how they look, this ISNT it), shoot it, walking walking walking, random gun laying around. You know how you play multiplayer games and there's no one else on the same map so it's just you running around doing nothing and collecting odd weapons? That's exactly what this game feels like. Gampeplay is extremely linear. You-must-walk-this-path-and-do-this-specific-action. If you're thirsty for random dinosaur action/bloody violence, Turok is your best bet by far. -- Jurassic: The Hunted

I bought this for my son (9 yr) and it was a little too difficult. Great idea though and it can be fun if you are good at three dimensional games. I thought there would be more options of playing too. Another down side is, it is only for 1 player.
-- Fun, but you have to be skilled.

It's somewhat unfair to be overly harsh with respect to this game. You know it's a "budget title" going in just by its price and its silly name, and so you know it won't have the best graphics, storyline or voice acting. More importantly, though, you know it'll be all about shooting dinosaurs. And on this, Jurassic: the Hunted does not disappoint because that's all you do. You get to battle most of the dinosaurs you've seen in movies and in other titles: raptors, t-rex, spinosaurus, etc.

Yes, the game is very linear and repetitive, but if you like Jurassic Park or first person shooters, you'll probably like this. And while it steals elements from Call of Duty and Max Payne, the game better for it. Also, you can replay your favorite levels after you beat them, which is nice.

Recommended for dinosaur lovers. -- Pleased. Got what I expected.
