| Warpath: Jurassic Park |
| PlayStation |
Release: November |
From: Electronic Arts |

Well, gosh and darn; EA have been busy inventing themselves dinosaurs. The 'Mega Raptor' and 'Gigantosaurus' anyone? Anyway, they want to have a fight!
Steve Bradley
Dyouthinkesaurus?
Yes, very amusing indeed. Anyway...
Jurassic Park? Does anyone still care?
The kids do, don't they? Anyway, this isn't an adventure game in a dinosaur theme park, this is a beat 'em up in a dinosaur theme park. And according to EA, the game includes 'the ever-popular Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops'. Nice to know they're 'ever-popular'.
Aren't they extinct?
Yes, but didn't David Attenborough bring them back to life in that film?
That was Dickie Attenborough.
Oh. Right.
So who's the one who talks to the animals?
Just leave it...
Animal beat 'em ups are crap!
Hmm, you've got a point there. Anyone remember Primal Rage? It was a game hyped to the eyeballs and supposedly the first title to be released simultaneously on every gaming platform known to man. The gameplay was extinct, though.
Is Warpath any better?
Surely. The game is set in Jurassic Park and features 14 dinosaurs and 14 different park locations in which to get it on. It's pretty much standard beat 'em up fare as far as the game's structure is concerned. You get training, survival, team, arcade and vs options, and there's even a 'dinosaur tree' which imparts essential information about who's related to who. In the dinosaur world, naturally.
You're hiding something, aren't you? It's a kids' game, right?
Um. Well, it's certainly more likely to find favour with the little people.
