Collecting full minikit sets unlock dinosaur skeletons, which can be mixed and matched to create your own dinosaurs. As well as that, you can also pick up minikits (ten per level), which are boxes of dinosaur bones. Finding one of these will unlock a dinosaur for use in free play mode, and you can then use them within the levels and the open world to activate certain events.

Once a level is finished it’s available to run through again in free play, which allows you to switch characters out for any other unlocked ones allowing you to uncover any unattained hidden items.Īside from the usual Red and Gold brick collectibles, Jurassic World has two other types of items to pick up. Each chunk has you destroying LEGO set dressing to uncover items, or break down into pieces which can then be rebuilt into something that allows progress (it’s a formula that has worked consistently, so it’s no surprise to see it unchanged here). In typical LEGO fashion, the game is broken up into chunks with a small amount of world traversal to break up the pace. That’s not a dreadful run time of eight to twelve hours at least, and is not taking into account the time you can spend outside of the story mopping up those hard to find secrets.

That’s a very smart move, as the constraints of each story mean that the experiences are normally over in two to three hours. Obviously a companion to the recently released Jurassic World movie it seems TT Games decided that just basing it on the one film wouldn’t be enough, and saw fit to include all four into the package. Those that do know what they are going to get here, well, this is my favourite one yet. If you have not liked one before, this is not the game that is going to convince you otherwise. Let me level with you: if you have a problem with the whimsical, family-friendly brand of platforming in the LEGO games their humour and simplistic puzzles, then stop reading now.
