LEGO Jurassic World is an action game based on the four Jurassic Park movies and released alongside the 2015 movie Jurassic World . As with many other Tt Games titles it adapts a licensed franchise to a world built up out of LEGO bricks. The game consists of 20 levels, five for each of the movies, played in succession. The game borrows many iconic moments from the films using the original audio clips and often adds a humorous twist.
The gameplay involves playing through each level with a different group of characters that smash objects and solve environment-based puzzles, often by switching between characters to use specific abilities. These include digging, cutting through foliage, gliding, climbing up walls, grappling, interacting with technology panels, scanning tracks, shooting targets, examining dung, growing vegetation, shattering glass, taking pictures, opening locks, and more. There are over 100 characters to unlock, including 20 playable dinosaurs also with specific abilities. The short dinosaur sections allow the player to take on the 'villain' side similar to LEGO Batman: The Videogame .
The game features local cooperative gameplay with a second player able to join through a drop-in/drop-out system, as well as a weather system that affects the environment. As players progress through the levels, they can unlock new characters and abilities, which introduce new ways to find hidden items. After completing levels, they can be replayed in free play mode with different characters and exploration in large hub locations, with additional unlockables.
The island hubs can be populated with dinosaurs by locating a piece of amber with a mosquito inside, hidden in each of the 20 story mode levels. Characters and dinosaurs can be customized, and for dinosaurs, DNA strains can be mixed to create genetic hybrids. Red bricks can be collected, which can be sold at Holoscape terminal to unlock new abilities.
