LEGO Jurassic World is an action game based on the four Jurassic Park movies and released alongside the 2015 movie Jurassic World . The game consists of levels inspired by iconic moments from the films, using the original audio clips and adding a humorous twist. It follows the story of Dr. Henry Wu and his team as they work on genetic engineering experiments, with the player taking control of various characters to progress through the story.
The gameplay involves smashing objects, solving puzzles, and interacting with the environment, often by switching between characters to use specific abilities. Players can unlock over 100 characters, including 20 playable dinosaurs, each with their own abilities. The game features quick time event battles against other dinosaurs and local cooperative gameplay for a second player.
The game introduces new features such as a weather system that affects the environment and dynamic hub worlds that change by completing story levels. Players can replay completed levels in free play mode with different characters, explore large hub locations, and unlock additional content. Characters and vehicles can be customized, and dinosaurs' DNA strains can be mixed to create genetic hybrids.
Players can collect red bricks, which can be sold at the Holoscape terminal to unlock new abilities. The game also features a system where dinosaurs can be populated in island hubs by finding amber with mosquitoes inside. Both characters and dinosaurs can be customized, offering a unique experience for players.
