Navigating the menus can be just as problematic. Instead, you have to manually move your field of vision around which can be very cumbersome the larger your park gets. There's no option that lets you zoom out and see the entire park to quickly access certain parts. It allows you to zoom up close to dinosaurs, which provides an inspiring view, but it's not completely functional for overseeing a theme park. All of the different aspects work together well and provide a worthwhile experience, although there are some flaws, most notably the camera. Along with the standard park building mode and the sufficient tutorial, there's also a mission mode where subduing angry dinosaurs through a first-person mode is a common staple. Gamers not only design and build their park, but will also be in charge of a multitude of tasks, from overseeing day-to-day park operations to more exotic tasks such as fossil expeditions and DNA research. The main objective is the build a successful theme park, but instead of roller coasters as the main attraction, dinosaurs are on display. 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.Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis takes a spin on the theme park simulation genre, popularized by the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, by adding elements from similar games. Attractions must be researched before they can be constructed, and include the Balloon Tour, Safari Adventure and Viewing Dome (The Viewing Vents and Viewing Platforms do not need to be researched.) The Safari Tour and Balloon Tour attractions also allow for the player to 'take over' the ride for the purpose of park exploration and photography, but only when a person in the game is using it. When a player's dig teams are excavating a site, they occasionally will come across various precious metals and stones which can be sold when collected and can help raise park funds.Īttractions help make the park popular, and increase its rating power and income when correctly configured. More dig teams can be purchased at increasing amounts of money.

These classifications are excellent, good, average, mediocre, poor, and exhausted (exhausted sites are not truly empty, as it is still possible to find fossils, amber and gems there, but findings happen rarely and the fossils and amber are often low quality). There are 6 classifications on the quality of a dig site. The chance of finding fossils in the site depends on the quality of the site. There are various dig sites in which the player may search for fossils and each dig site contains fossils from three certain dinosaurs and some of the dinosaurs, like Brachiosaurus, are available in more than one dig site. The player may also dig for fossils using a fossil hunting team to dig in one of the nine dig sites positioned around the world to obtain DNA. To gain a dinosaur's DNA, the player must extract it through fossils or amber, higher quality specimens mean that more DNA is extracted. Fifty percent (50%) is needed in order to create a dinosaur the higher the percentage of DNA, the longer that dinosaur will live unless it dies by means other than natural causes (which, in the game, is old age). Players may also create dinosaurs in order to create a dinosaur, a significant percentage of the particular dinosaur's DNA is needed. Likewise, carnivores have an innate desire to hunt other dinosaurs, so even a constant stream of livestock will not keep them happy. However, herbivores become unhappy if they don't have enough trees around them or enough nearby dinosaur friends to socialize with. It is necessary to build feeding stations where herbivores can get bales of plant feed, while carnivores are fed live cows or goats.

The gameplay functions are very similar to the SimCity and Tycoon game models. Gameplay The player's main objective is simple: create a theme park/zoo featuring dinosaurs, make it popular, and make it safe.

The player can also add attractions similar to those seen in the film, such as the safari seen in the Jurassic Park film, and additional attractions like a balloon tour and several varieties of viewing platform. The park can be populated with up to sixty dinosaurs, with twenty-five different species available.

One must also keep the park safe and secure. In the park, the player builds paths, amenities for visitors such as, food and restrooms, as well as enclosures and attractions. The main point of the game is to recreate Jurassic Park - building a 5 star theme park with dinosaurs, and turning John Hammond's dream into reality.
