LEGO Jurassic World is an action-adventure game that lets players experience the stories of the first four Jurassic films through the lens of classic LEGO brick gameplay. Developed by TT Games, it combines platforming, puzzle-solving, and light combat across reimagined scenes from Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, and Jurassic World. The title stands out for its focus on dinosaur control and island exploration on Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.
Gameplay
Core gameplay follows the established LEGO formula of navigating linear levels while collecting studs, smashing environmental objects, and switching between characters with unique abilities. Players solve environmental puzzles, avoid hazards, and engage in simple combat sequences that tie directly into film events. The addition of playable dinosaurs expands the loop, allowing direct control of creatures such as the Triceratops, Velociraptor, Compsognathus, and Tyrannosaurus rex to smash obstacles or complete specific tasks.
Exploration extends beyond individual levels into larger open areas on the two islands. Here players locate collectibles, unlock fast travel points, and interact with the environment using both human characters and dinosaurs. DNA collection and amber pieces enable dinosaur customization, resulting in hybrid creations that can then be placed in paddocks for additional activities.
Game Modes
Story mode guides players through twenty levels, with five dedicated to each of the four films. Progression follows key plot moments while introducing new characters and dinosaurs at a steady pace. Free Play mode unlocks after story completion and permits any collected character or dinosaur to revisit completed levels for missed items and achievements.
Local co-op supports drop-in and drop-out play, making it straightforward for multiple players to join or leave sessions without interrupting progress. This feature applies across both story and free play sessions on the PC version.
Dinosaur Features and Exploration
Twenty distinct dinosaurs appear as playable options, each with tailored abilities that influence how players interact with the world. Customization involves gathering amber and experimenting with DNA strands to produce original variants, such as a Dilophosaurus-Tyrannosaurus hybrid. These creations integrate into the island environments through paddock placement during targeted free play tasks.
Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna serve as hubs for side activities once story sections open them. Players populate enclosures, complete collection objectives, and revisit areas with different dinosaurs to access previously blocked paths or secrets.
Is It Worth Playing?
LEGO Jurassic World delivers a complete single-player campaign that covers all four source films with faithful level design and humorous LEGO twists. The dinosaur control and creation systems add variety not present in most other entries in the series, while local co-op broadens its appeal for family play. On PC the game remains fully functional with no required updates or seasonal content, and it runs reliably for those seeking a straightforward action-adventure experience tied to the Jurassic franchise. It suits players who enjoy collectathon elements, character swapping, and light platforming more than intense action or competitive multiplayer.
