Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis is a construction and management simulationvideo game based on the Jurassic Park series developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and co-published by Vivendi Universal Games under their Universal Interactive subsidiary and Konami. It was released for Windows, Xbox, and PlayStation 2. The game's primary goal is to construct a five-star rated dinosaur theme park named Jurassic Park on custom-generated islands by hatching dinosaurs, building attractions, keeping visitors entertained, and ensuring the park's safety.

Development began in 2001, and lasted 22 months. The game was announced in February 2002, with its release initially scheduled for late 2002. Ultimately, the game was released in North America and the PAL region in March 2003, followed by a Japanese release later that year. According to Metacritic, the Windows and Xbox versions received 'Mixed or average' reviews, while the PlayStation 2 version received 'Generally favorable' reviews.

Gameplay[edit]

The player's main objective is to create a theme park/zoo featuring dinosaurs, make it popular, and make it safe with a 5-star rating. Gameplay functions are very similar to the SimCity and Tycoon game models. It is necessary to build feeding stations where herbivores can get bales of plant feed, while carnivores are fed live cows or goats. However, herbivores become unhappy if they don't have enough trees around them or enough nearby dinosaurs to socialize with. Likewise, carnivores have an innate desire to hunt other dinosaurs, so even a constant stream of livestock will not keep them happy.[1]

To create a dinosaur, fifty percent (50%) of the particular dinosaur's DNA is needed. The higher the percentage of DNA, the longer that dinosaur will live, unless it dies by means other than natural causes, such as malnutrition or being attacked by another dinosaur. To obtain a dinosaur's DNA, the player must extract it through fossils or amber. Higher quality specimens will yield more DNA.[2]

To obtain fossils and amber, the player must send a fossil-hunting team to dig in one of nine dig sites around the world. Additional dig teams can be purchased later in the game. Each dig site contains fossils from three particular dinosaurs. Fossils of some dinosaurs, such as Brachiosaurus, can be found in more than one dig site. The chance of finding fossils depends on the quality of the site. There are 6 classifications on the quality of a dig site, ranging from 'excellent' to 'exhausted.' It is still possible to find fossils and amber at sites that have been exhausted, although they are often of low quality with little DNA to provide. Valuable items such as silver, gold, or opal are also discovered infrequently by the dig team(s), and can be sold for profit.

Attractions help make the park popular, and increase its rating power and income when correctly configured. Attractions must be researched before they can be constructed, and include the Balloon Tour, Safari Adventure and Viewing Dome. Viewing Vents and Viewing Platforms do not need to be researched. The Safari Tour and Balloon Tour attractions allow for the player to 'take over' the ride for the purpose of park exploration and photography, but only when a visitor in the game is using it. The player may also observe the dinosaurs from the Viewing Dome, Viewing Vent, and Viewing Platform by selecting the 'View' option after clicking on the building.

Amenities such as restrooms and restaurants are needed for visitors. Additional buildings such as a gift shop and a resting area must be researched before the player can add them into the park. Vaccines for diseases–such as tick infestation, gastric poisoning, rabies (though only mammals are significantly affected by rabies in real life), and the fictional Dino Flu (possibly a nod to bird flu)–must be researched before a sick dinosaur can be treated for a particular illness.

Dinosaurs[edit]

There are a total of 25 dinosaurs featured in the game, some of which were featured in the films. The dinosaurs are divided into four main sub-groups. Small Herbivores such as Gallimimus and Pachycephalosaurus are easy to care for and do not take up much space, but are not as popular with guests. Large Herbivores such as Brachiosaurus and Triceratops are very popular with visitors and do not require expensive fences, but need large spacious exhibits. Small Carnivores such as Dilophosaurus and Velociraptor do not generally need tight security like their larger counterparts, but can still harm guests if they escape. Large Carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus are the most popular dinosaurs in the game, but require large exhibits with high security fences and are prone to rampaging when stressed.[3]

Missions[edit]

The game has 10 missions the player can complete. In some websites like IGN and GameSpot, early previews indicated that there were originally to be 12 missions. There are about three or four general types of missions, including taking photographs of dinosaurs to try to rack up a certain number of points from the photos in a safari mission and dinosaur control missions where the player has to retire the carnivores (preferably large ones) to protect the herbivores.

Site B[edit]

After all the missions are completed, the 'Site B' mode is unlocked, which allows the player to create an island without any fences or buildings for people. Visitors are not allowed on the island. The player can place up to eight hatcheries and create up to sixty dinosaurs, which live on the island without diseases or the possibility of becoming stressed. As long as they have food, water and living space, the player can simply watch the dinosaurs interact and live out their lives.

Development[edit]

Development of the game began in 2001, and lasted 22 months.[4][5] Early in development, a total of 40 dinosaurs were planned for inclusion in the game. This number was later reduced to 25 due to scheduling issues, as well as the developers choosing to focus more on fewer dinosaurs that were well-known from the Jurassic Park films. Marine reptiles and pterosaurs were among those removed from the game.[5] The developers conducted research into the behavior of dinosaurs whose behavior had not been specified in the films. Bird sounds were used for some dinosaurs that did not appear in the films.[4]

The game was first announced as Jurassic Park: Project Genesis on February 19, 2002, with the game's release set for the fourth quarter of 2002.[6] On May 22, 2002, footage was shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), where the game was titled as Jurassic Park: The Game.[7][8] Blue Tongue Entertainment pushed for that to be the final title.[9] In June 2002, the game's release date was set for December 2002.[10]

Baby dinosaurs were being planned midway through development. They were scrapped for scheduling reasons; implementing them would have required the creation of new models and A.I. This ended plans for a dinosaur petting zoo. Buildings such as a hotel, a hunting platform and a dinosaur vet station were removed from the final game due to design decisions, as well as memory constraints presented on the console versions.[5] Ten original music tracks were written for the game; they were performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Two tracks from Jurassic Park composer John Williams were also included in the game.[11]

In October 2002, the game's official title was unveiled, with the release date being pushed back to the first quarter of 2003. At that time, a Nintendo GameCube version of the game was planned for release in the third quarter of 2003.[12] In April 2003, Blue Tongue confirmed that the GameCube version had been cancelled, as the development team chose to focus on the PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox versions instead.[13]

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis sold in excess of 400,000 copies worldwide by 2008.[34] It ultimately received a 'Silver' sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[35] indicating sales of at least 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[36]

According to Metacritic, the Windows and Xbox versions received 'Mixed or average' reviews,[15][16] while the PlayStation 2 version received 'Generally favorable' reviews.[14]

Electronic Gaming Monthly offered praise for the game's missions, but also wrote that the game 'may be too complex for some [...] getting e-mail notices and warnings every 10 seconds doesn't help [...] you can see the long-term fun is doomed for extinction. Sure, you get a lot to do, but not many ways to do it. You raise all the dinos the same way; you have the same limited park amenities and research options game after game; and you won't experience anything new after playing through an open-ended game once.'[17]

Matt Helgeson of Game Informer called the PlayStation 2 version 'one of the best console business sims I’ve ever played.' Matthew Kato, also from Game Informer, wrote a positive review of the Xbox version, but criticized the game's dinosaurs and humans for a lack of intelligent AI, as well as the lack of a faster game speed.[18]GamePro and Entertainment Weekly praised the game's use of John Williams' Jurassic Park theme.[20][33]

GameSpot praised the PC version's detailed dinosaur models, weather effects, and camera angles, but criticized the game's imprecise mouse control and complained that the game often locked up when advanced graphics settings (such as reflective water) were turned on.[22]GameSpy criticized the console versions for their 'spotty control' and short mission mode, and considered the PC version to be superior because of its lack of freezing.[23][24]

Reviewing the PC version, GameZone was critical of the game's repetitive player requests and short mission mode. GameZone praised the graphics, but felt the game was too similar to other simulation games.[27] GameZone praised the PlayStation 2 version for its dinosaur animations, but noted its 'awkward' camera views.[25]

Reviewing the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions, IGN praised the game's camera system,[29] but criticized the ability to control the game's Land Cruisers and helicopters, saying they 'aren't as engaging as they should be.' IGN also noted the graphics to be, 'Repetitive and bland'.[28] Joe Rybicki of Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine wrote, 'I have exactly one complaint: It only took me about eight hours or so to get a 5-star rating, effectively beating the main area of the game. So, it may be a bit too easy for veterans of the genre. But with so much else to do, that's hardly a serious issue.'[30]

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis was described by its publisher as a “world-builder”, something not seen a lot on consoles, but generally known as a “tycoon game” on the PC (think Zoo Tycoon or Theme Park). The real twist here is that Operation Genesis is infused with the 3D dinosaurs that made the original movies such beloved classics. Your job is to develop the dino population and build a theme park around them, managing all of the star characters from the movies and churn out a profitable operation for your boss, Dr. John Hammond and Ingen.

All of this is done within a typical sandbox-type game engine that, unlike the RollerCoaster Tycoon or Theme Park series, is completely rendered in 3D. It captures the setting’s tropical atmosphere with a 3D graphics engine resplendent with detailed dino models, pixel-shaded water and smooth lighting effects. Moreover, its unusual subject means you’ll get more than a standard ride-building sim.

Before you can have dinos to attract visitors, you’ll need to uncover and rebuild their genetic information from fossilized remains. Even once you’ve done this and built the necessary pens and infrastructure to keep them and your visitors safely separate, all sorts of problems can spring up, from vomiting Velociraptors to angry Allosaurs. The former can be remedied with TLC and medicine. The latter, however, introduces the game’s action component, which involves jumping in a chopper to gun down the uncontrollable beast, or at least rescue any humans in close vicinity.

With only a few teams to dispatch, you pick the choice dinosaur graveyards to yield the best genetic results and start bringing them back to life in a genetic lab. Even once you have a particular dinosaur’s genome nailed down to the necessary 50 percent, it’s a good idea to keep researching, as the more accurate your picture of the species, the longer they’ll resist disease and old age when romping around your park. Mutated rheumatic giant frogs might come cheap, but the tourists won’t be impressed.

You’ll also have to lay down the basic layout of your zoo, and Operation Genesis adapts the tycoon formula in straightforward fashion. Though your island is portrayed in three dimensions, you’ll only have to worry about two when tackling the game’s simulation element. The first step is to lay down electrified pens to contain whatever you create. Take care, however, as low-voltage rails won’t be much use if something big decides to get nasty. The next task in line is emplacing hatcheries inside the pens to spit out dinosaurs.

Once your newborn dinosaurs start roaming – Operation Genesis includes about 30 species to flesh out your theme park – you’ll need to learn the ins and outs of feeding and maintenance. They can get sick through either infection or eating modern plant life, both of which affect their lifespan and happiness. Herbivores need tree cover to be happy, while carnivores need space to roam.

While food dispensers are an easy way to keep all your exhibits happy, planting cheap modern trees can provide a false economy, as they’re toxic to some of the big critters. Paleo trees are much more palatable, though very expensive. The pens being gigantic electrified fences, you’ll also need to plop down special viewing domes and vents to grant access to the dinosaurs. Outside the wire, you’ll need to build the essentials of any entertainment facility, from toilets and fast food joints to souvenir stores and security stations.
