Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis puts you in the shoes of a Dr. Hammond-type scientist, and challenges you to build a dinosaur themed amusement park. You play similar to the first movie, laying down electric fences to keep dinosaurs safe. Fences with different voltages are needed for bigger and smaller dinosaurs. For example, a 100 volt fence is enough for a raptor, but a 500 volt fence is required to keep a T-Rex from escaping. You have various buildings at your disposal, from standard restaurants and bathrooms to gift stalls and photo booths. You can also construct a safari tour, like what took place in the first movie, or take it yourself to see your park as visitors do.
The Ranger Station is one of the most important objects in the game. With this building, you can have helicopters patrol the park to watch for any disasters. If a dino escapes, you have the option to enter the helicopter and try to shoot it with a tranquilizer dart or let AI capture the dino. Breeding dinosaurs requires hiring teams to locate fossils, analyzing them, and letting your teams work for longer periods. This will make your dinosaur live longer and happier visitors. However, forcing your team to give you results early might only make the dinosaur live for ten days.
Different dinosaurs require different resources. Herbivores need lots of trees and grass, while carnivores need goats and cows. Your carnivores may get tired of being fed, so you might have to send in a smaller dino to hunt.
The game includes multiple camera angles: rotating 360 degrees, zooming in and out, taking the visitor cam, riding on the safari, taking a scenic tour in a hot air balloon, or looking out from the helicopter. You also get a comprehensive guide to dinosaurs and their preferences to help you make them happy.
A brief history of each dinosaur is also included to help you figure out what they like and dislike.
