Jurassic World Play

Jurassic World may be more movie monsters than real dinos, but they did do their research when making facts for this app, mostly anyway. They even happen to mention that Velociraptor had ancestors capable of flight, such as the feathered Microraptor (my favorite dinosaur actually :p). However they do make some mistakes here and there. Tapejara is now believed to have eaten fruit, but this app still goes by the now outdated theory that it at fish. Another error is that Gallimimus is referred to as a bird. While extremely birdlike it wasn’t a true bird, rather a bird mimic. Those nitpicks aside I’m actually quite surprised with this app. 😁 UPDATE: You’re welcome, Mattel 😉, glad to now I helped.

I like this app but the facts are off. I only saw issues with the heights of different dinosaurs. The app says allosaurus is roughly 6.5 feet tall. It says spinosaurus is around 11 feet tall. It says triceratops is around 11 feet tall. It says velociraptors are 6 feet tall. The allosaurus was nowhere near the height of a raptor, going off the movie. The allosaurus is more around the height of 12-14 feet if I remember correctly. Triceratops was a little shorter and spinosaurus was around 20 feet tall. I can’t picture a 26 foot dinosaur running around shorter than most nba players. Lastly, this one is a nitpick but the indoraptor wasn’t created by ingen, it was made by dr wu. I’m sorry for such a long response but I just needed to clear that. Oh, and the dinosaur sounds don’t match the species well. I know it may take a while but it would be nice to use the same calls as in the movies and for dinosaurs not from the movies maybe if it’s a similar species or in the same genus it would have the same sounds. I always wonder why every large carnivore uses the trex roar, like the spinosaurus doesn’t use its own call? The gallimimus sounds really odd and doesn’t have that chirp from the movie. I know it’s a long response but I’m sorry these sounds and incorrect information just bother me. The app is great and it’s a great way to go with the toy line. And, did I mention how much I like the toys? They’re incredible! Great work Mattel.

So in the trailer their was an unidentified ceratopsian that was labeled by the fan base as the following “Centrosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Styracosaurus, and Sinoceratops.” it’s now confirmed to be the Sinoceratops and the toy was labeled in the app Pachyrhinosaurus. Well they changed it and it now says Sinoceratops but the model is the same so if they make a Sinoceratops toy but it is actually a Pachyrhinosaurus, I have full competence in this toy line but you can’t just rename something and call it good so please ether change the model and look of the toy or change the name back and come up with a new toy. (I’d go for the ladder.) goodbye and if you’re Mattel thanks for reading. :)

But, some one of these questions really bothers me, it’s just a small mistake. I have a screenshot and I would post it here, but I can’t. Anyways, the questions states, “The Velociraptor isn’t a pack hunter, but a solitary creature.” And the answer IS True. But the answer SHOULD BE False, I’ve done my research on Velociraptors and they are pack hunters, it even states it in the movie. That’s just one small little issue I had, but otherwise the app is great, if you have a collection of these toys especially.(I only have the Indoraptor.)

*Kind of long* Okay so after I downloaded this I was welcomed by a happy little D.N.A guy, that welcome was absolutely amazing! That gave me a good feeling about this game. The facts are great and I love the quizzes BUT, it gets pretty boring after only a little bit! What I want is feeding and leveling up all reptiles, battles, something online/multiplayer and a story line/ plot. On the other Jurassic game is like that and I spend HOURS on that game! Please update this then, this will be the BEST Jurassic game ever! I see potential in this, thank you for reading! 😉
