[Playing…] LEGO Jurassic World

The LEGO games developed by TT Fusion are a constant in the catalog of any console of the latest generations. There are many famous characters and sagas that have been brought to video games by this company (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Hobbit, Avengers, Batman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter…) and their games are counted in dozens.

The LEGO play style is usually very casual and focused on eliminating small enemies, destroying elements of the stage and using pieces to build again. LEGO games are very fun to play in company and They have a very particular sense of humor.

I admit that I have only played a few of the LEGO Star Wars and although I liked them, I didn't feel interested in playing the rest (well, the lego batman It did catch my attention, but in the end I didn't buy it). However, when I saw that they announced the LEGO Jurassic World and on top of that this included the 4 films of the saga jurassic parkI didn't hesitate to buy it.

The game begins by giving us the choice between playing jurassic park either Jurassic World. As soon as we complete the movies, they will be unlocked The Lost World and Jurassic Park III.

The representation of the characters and scenes from each film are brilliantly recreated. The sense of humor will be a constant and will give very stupid moments, especially when they have to represent the most violent moments of the films, which obviously, here are replaced by something much more innocent.

He Being able to play the 4 movies, control their characters and then replay the game to be able to unlock extras and more characters is the great incentive of LEGO Jurassic World, which also has the detail of being dubbed into Spanish (at least in its PAL version).

The number of unlockables to find is extremely large (in fact, it is too large... I doubt that many people will complete the game 100%) but some of those objects to look for will allow us unlock and customize dinosaurs, which is one of the most interesting additions. As a general rule, we will not be able to get most of the hidden objects when we play the story mode, but we will be able to do so when we have completed it and we can replay it by choosing the characters we want.

Each character has their own abilities and that will allow them to access exclusive areas or find hidden items. For example Alan Grant (jurassic park) can use his raptor claw to cut ropes and can dig in the ground, Nick Van Owen (The Lost World) can use his wrench to pick locks and Erick Kirby (the boy from Jurassic Park III) can camouflage itself, enter through trapdoors, throw T.Rex urine to scare away dinosaurs and search through excrement.

There are many characters, but not all of them are equally useful, so that once you are trying to unlock extras, you will most likely have your favorites and leave aside 80% of them, who are only there to be funny (and many of them are not even that, since they are generic characters without a name, like a worker or a scientist from INGEN).

After more than 40 licensed games in LEGO format, any player already knows what they are going to find when playing one, since they all work exactly the same. The good taste in the mouth that the LEGO Star Wars ended up becoming a constant and resounding repetition of the same formula.

In this specific game This formula even suffers a worsening, since there are hardly any small enemies to fight against and the largest enemies (Raptors, Tyrannosaurus) will attack us Quick Time Events, repetitive and of little interest. Even fights between dinosaurs will develop in the same way. In other words, The most epic moments have become repeating button combinations until the game is satisfied.

The lack of common enemies and the very boring confrontations against dinosaurs son solo una muestra de la insultante facilidad del juego. En los juegos de LEGO no suele haber penalización por morir, puedes matarte a voluntad 200 veces y seguir jugando, pero es que en LEGO Jurassic World ni siquiera se esforzaron en ponernos enemigos para entretenernos y todas las escenas que en otro videojuego habrían sido tensas y con un tiempo límite (por ejemplo, los velociraptors tratando de forzar una puerta mientras tu activas las cerraduras, o el típico enfrentamiento entre los personajes y el Indominus Rex o el Spinosaurus) son tan sencillas que no pasa nada hasta que resolvamos nosotros el puzle.

Puede que esté el Spinosaurius de fondo rugiendo y tengamos que hacer unos arpones para dispararle, pero si no lo hacemos, se quedará esperando, incluso podremos tratar de meternos en su boca y lo traspasaremos (aunque normalmente los personajes huyen asustados del peligro y así se justifica que no nos ataque). Podéis dejar el juego encendido, ir a trabajar, volver y estará igual que lo habéis dejado. Poco mejores serán las persecuciones (como la del T.Rex al coche con los protagonistas) que se pueden completar sin ni siquiera estar atento, debido a que son cortísimas y no hay penalización en caso de morir. In LEGO Jurassic World no se puede perder, ni a propósito.

Ya comenté en Tortugas Ninja Jovenes Mutantes que su nula penalización hacía que perdiese el interés, pues en este juego me sucede lo mismo, pero de manera mucho más abundante. Una vez completada la primera película, hice las otras 3 solo para desbloquear el modo “Juego libre” y poder cambiar así de personajes a mi antojo para poder sacar los extras. Pero durante todo el rato que me llevó el modo historia, lo único que me hacía gracia eran los chistes de algunas escenas animadas, el desarrollo del juego en sí, es un autentico aburrimiento basado en repetir siempre las mismas acciones una y otra vez.

En resumen, cualquiera que haya jugado a un juego de LEGO ya sabe cuáles son sus puntos fuertes y flojos. LEGO Jurassic World es más de lo mismo, con alguna novedad simpática (personalización de dinosaurios) y algún empeoramiento en la formula (nula actividad enemiga).
