zoo tycoon 2 jurassic park operation genesis

In designing Operation Genesis, the developers at Blue Tongue wanted not only to differentiate this game from other Jurassic Park games, but they also wanted it to stand out from the admittedly saturated park-building genre. All the dinosaurs in Operation Genesis will have completely unscripted AI-so don't do anything to piss them off.

We recently had the chance to take a first-hand look at Operation Genesis, and we gleaned some new details about its gameplay and overall structure. Vivendi Universal and Blue Tongue, the developers of Starship Troopers for the PC, are currently putting the finishing touches on Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (previously Project Genesis), which is a park-building game in the same vein as SimCoaster and Zoo Tycoon. It's funny that, of all the games based on the Jurassic Park series, none have focused on the premise of all three movies: the creation and maintenance of a commercial theme park. And though they've ranged from fighting games to platformers to light-gun shooters, none have been particularly memorable, with the exception of DreamWorks' Trespasser, though most people remember that first-person shooter for all the wrong reasons.

Though you might not realize it, nearly a dozen Jurassic Park-themed games have been released for PCs, consoles, and arcades in the 10 years since Steven Spielberg's original dinosaur flick hit the silver screen.
