Let all your dino dreams come true with ‘LEGO Jurassic World’

 

The little dinosaur-crazy boys and girls in your life (and your inner child) are going to be happy with the launch of the new LEGO Jurassic World game. This Android and iOS game is made by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment with TT Games and focuses on all four Jurassic films, not just the blockbuster hit starring Chris Pratt. So new and old fans alike are going to enjoy this. You get some memorable action scenes and sequences from the movies. You’ll get to play as Owen, Claire, Ian, Dr. Wu, or even as one of the dinos. You can explore Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna to look for the precious amber containing dinosaur DNA. You’ll need to finish all 20 story levels. You can make your own dinosaur based on the DNA you’ve collected and make one you really like by mixing abilities, body parts, and colors.
