Jurassic Park: The Game First Look -- Hold Onto Your Butts/Controllers

With Back to the Future: The Game, Telltale Games has shown it is fully capable of taking an existing property and bringing it into the game space without sacrificing the source material's tone, charm, or lore. With its upcoming effort, Jurassic Park: The Game, Telltale is looking to keep this momentum going by giving fans of the dino-action franchise the chance to experience an untold portion of the Jurassic Park timeline via a character-driven, quick-time-event rich adventure experience unlike any JP game to date. Miguel Concepcion recently spent some hands-on time with the game, and happily reports that this won’t be a simple walk in the park:

"I was called upon to pull off a variety of button inputs from the Y button to the left bumper. Like Heavy Rain, Jurassic Park  tries to implement button commands relevant to the action performed. At one point Gerry was doing some heavy lifting, so it would make sense that I had to rapidly press on the X button as he’s lifting. At one point Jess was in the midst of a foot chase, briefly hiding behind a tree. I was then given the option of escaping left or right."
