What Utahraptor Think's: To start off my review, Warpath: Jurassic Park, has always been, and most likely always will be, a favorite fighting game of mine. The game has a pretty basic plot to it: beat all the dinos to become the biggest and baddest fighter on the island. Battling in the Arcade will let you un-lock new dinosaur players, some that don't even appear in JP, and competeing in Survival will let you un-lock new skin colorations for your players. If you want a game where you battle JP dinosaurs, look for Warpath at your local Big K-Mart or Wal-Mart.

A little info of the game's history here. Warpath: Jurassic Park was developed in the year 1999, two years after The Lost World movie came out in 1997. It was designed for the first Playstation gaming consule and was developed by Electronic Arts, rated T for Teen due to the graphic violence and blood. Not only was the game made for fun, it had an educational side to it as well: an option on the main menu called Museum where you could find out information about each dinosaur player, change its skin color, hear the dino's roar, and a few other cool options like a time and evolution chart.

My own experience with Warpath had my solid opinion the first time I played it: it was cool. It had everything I loved about the JP dinos and taught me a little more about each of them. My best character to play was the Megaraptor for its easy to remember combination moves. My opinion about the sound was so true I'd always kept the vibration on so I could hear and feel the dinosaurs fighting more realisticly. The sounds were superb, the graphics were great, and control was the coolest to learn.

A few minor bad points I noticed about the game were as follows. One, some of the dinosaurs were altered to fighting. I mean, Triceratops can NOT jump twenty feet into the air in real life and the Pachy was the size of the Tyrannosaurus. And two, a few times during battles I could see my player's tail go into a building or wall and vanish from sight yet when I moved away, the tail came back. A bad point for realistic graphics there.
