All this finger motion is mildly engaging, but ultimately doesn't do much to differentiate the experience from that of watching a particularly polygonal animated cartoon - let alone provide the sphincter-clamping action the game is clearly aiming for. As she runs, you swipe up to leap over branches, left to look around you, and tap to keep yourself from plummeting into the rocky abyss as you back off over a cliff. It opens with a woman running for her life in the park, stalked by an unseen dinosaur. In each "scenario" (chapter) of the game, we're immediately launched into a cinematic sequence and given a series of opportunities to swipe or tap the screen to get a character to leap, jump, or perform any number of tasks at the required time. I decided to give Telltale's iPad version a shot, but it seems that the gameplay is the comparable with each platform.

If you're familiar the quirks of the genre it owes most to, interactive movies, and set your expectations accordingly, Jurassic Park: The Game Episode 1 (phew) isn't a bad way to kill an hour and a half for the price of a movie ticket.

This was aided by the fact that no matter how dicey the situation could get, you could rest assured that ultimately nothing you did would cause a character to die. Frankly, we've seen them flirt with dramatic themes in Monkey Island and Sam and Max before but the end result has always been a stiff upper lip rather than a coronary convulsion. With the announcement of Jurassic Park, I was excited to see Telltale veer out of their comfort zone both in gameplay and overall tone. Jurassic Park: The Game Episode 1 isn't a bad way to kill an hour and a half for the price of a movie ticket.
