Gamin NEWS! Jurassic Park preview


Here's a gameplay preview of Jurassic Park The Game!
This new episodic series by Telltale Games will be out in April.

Now, as a gamer, but a Jurassic Park fan first, I gotta tell ya, this game has a lot to live up to.
Most JP games have been pretty good over the years.
Be it the retro JP1 games (on the Nes, Snes, Megadrive, Master System, Arcades...), the Lost World games (during the 3D era, on the Saturn/PS1, Megadrive, Arcades...) and even some of the JP3 games (current gen, on the arcades, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis on PC..)

Now, here's a video courtesy of giantbomb.
It shows some of the gameplay, some early story sequences, the guys are talking over it with the producers.



For now, I won't make a final decision, but as I love the style and visuals...the gameplay worries me.
It's a bit too much QTE-oriented, Heavy Rain-style...
Will it make a fun and memorable experience or be quickly forgotten a week after going through it?!
Will there be any challenge? (in a game taking place on an island full of dinosaurs..there better be)

I would kinda have preferred an action game for Jurassic Park (while that other old cult franchise Ghostbusters got one some years ago instead of an adventure game that would have been more suited for a dialogue-heavy story)
