Gameplay

Plot

The game starts when two U.S Army Rangers, land on the island with orders by Alan Grant to rescue survivors that crashed on the island earlier on in the story (not shown). The Rangers soon see one of the survivors running away from a group of "Compsognathus", they follow and rescue the man, while defeating "Dilophosaurus" and "Velociraptor" along the way. A "Spinosaurus" appears and chases you through the forest where you can see the plane that crashed in Jurassic Park III. Grant tells you that there is a vehicle back in the compound the Rangers landed in and they flee to it. There, they arrive at a lab. The Spinosaurus arrives. You hop off the vehicle. Suddenly, the Spinosaurus attacks the vehicle and gobbles up one of the rangers as the vehicle takes off. This event sparks the fight against the sailback dinosaur. You have to shoot the Spinosaurus until he tires. Soon, a T-rex arrives and the two dinosaurs fight. You hop into another vehicle and drive away, leaving the battling dinosaurs alone.

It is soon found out that more survivors are at the hatchery where the people in Jurassic Park III were first attacked. On the way there in the vehicle, the group crashes into an "Ankylosaurus" and has to defeat it. When that is done, they arrive at the hatchery to rescue the survivors. After defeating a huge group of "Velociraptor" in the building and rescuing the survivor, they leave, walking into a parking lot full of land cruisers. A "T. rex" boss attacks them. Once it's defeated, they head off into the Bird Cage where the "Pteranodon" were in the movie. After defeating a group of the flying creatures, rescuing the remaining survivors and defeating the "Quetzalcoatlus" boss, the group head to the boat (like in the movie), fighting more "Velociraptor" along the way.

As they make it across the river, they are assaulted by more "Velociraptor", "Compsognathus", "Dilophosaurus", and "Pteranodon". After surviving these attacks, they face off against a "Spinosaurus" which attacks while taking cover underwater. When the group reaches shore, they make their way through another group of "Velociraptor" until night falls in and they reach their goal, the Marina. There, a "Spinosaurus" attacks the group in a flaming background, like in the Jurassic Park 3 movie. After defeating the "Spinosaurus" the group gets on a boat and leaves the island. The Rangers lean against the boat as dawn breaks over. The credits show a variety of dinosaurs in the game running along a computerized background (green grids along a black backdrop).
