The Most Underrated Jurassic Park Video Game Ever Made? - Trespasser Review

Okay so it's finally here! Here are my final thoughts and feelings on Jurassic Park: Trespasser! What I personally believe to be the most underrated Jurassic Park video game ever made! Now I go over why I feel the way I do in the video and let you know whether or not I recommend the game as a whole. Most of you probably already know the answer by not but I gave it some time to try and collect all of my thoughts on what this experience can offer new players as well as how it's held up over the last 20 years. Due to the fact that we currently have nearly no Jurassic World video games whatsoever, I think it's important to remember this particular game that has been fixed with a wide variety of mods since it's release. Again THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BROKEN VERSION OF THE GAME. I never played that and honestly don't think I ever want to. This one on the other hand...this is a different story! Hope you all enjoy! :D

The disc sadly broke for some random reason, but I was always too scared to play the game anymore after hearing the Cathy Bowman easter egg with the creepy music lol. I never slept whenever thinking about it or hearing it.

I hate the term 'true fan' cause that causes nothing but conflict and intolerance in a fan base. To me if a term like 'true fan' should ever be used it should mean something like "respecting other fans opinions even if you have the opposite opinions" cause after all we are talking about a franchise that we love. Anyway good video as always Klayton.

[@KlaytonFioriti]

Thanks! And totally agree!

[@josh-themighty9967]

I agree. The amount of angry people I have met on social media just because I said Jurassic world fallen kingdom is my favourite film out of the entire franchise so far. It's ridiculous! The first Jurassic park film is what started it all off I know. But if someone else likes the sequels then so what? It's like the Indominus rex. I LOVE the Indominus rex. It's my favourite hybrid dinosaur. I think it's so cool and badass. BUT if you say that to anyone on social media? Oh boy. Your a moron. Idiot. How could you like such a stupidly designed made up creature? Etc. So frustrating.

With all of the advanced software of today, I still don't see why a Jurassic World game like Trespasser hasn't been made. To have a high quality Jurassic World survival horror game would be fantastic, and could even serve as some good side canon that would be much more believable than JPTG.

[@darthlord1997]

I have a script for a video of my ideas for a game like that, but I need to get it off the ground

[@Gruntvc]

The complete lack of good dino games lately is pretty weird. Tired of zombies and brain dead AI. Hoping with the success of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Capcom remakes Dino Crisis next.

[@denmaster868]

Trespasser was such a good game way ahead of its time, with great narration from Richard Attenborough.

[@ThMnWthNNm]

The biggest problem with Trespasser is that for its time, it was a bridge too far. The developers had so much planned, but they realized too late they’d bitten off more than they could chew. I would personally like to see a remastered version, complete with all the cut levels and dialogue. However, it might due good to reign in some of the novel canon present, because it does make things more complicated.

[@rock9921]

Jurassic Park: Trespasser, although it was not well made, was part of my childhood. I enjoyed this game way too much. When I was young I didn't care about all the bugs. I just love how ambitious it was, and how cool it was at least to me!

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I like the atmosphere of this game which is isolation from other people. You are working alone in the game and that is part of what draws me to the game. Anything JP or JP related Im interested in. I'll probably get the Steam version of this game. Great review!

[@abrolytardwithinternetacce8464]

I love this game. I've recently been watching gameplay on it, and the T-rex battle is by far my most favorite part of the game.

[@velociraptor4you3291]

*Very* good review! 👍🏻👍🏻 You'll be glad to know that I too am aware of this 'the only good thing about the "JP" franchise is the first movie and nothing else' mentality...and I seriously *don't* condone it at all.

Watch the Trespasser videos by Research Indicates. He’s a professional voice over artist, and goes into the history of the game as he plays.

[@MercuryAlphaInc]

"Well in my humble opinion... That's bullshit" Klayton, just hearing you say those words with the context of the Jurassic Park Elitists... Makes me proud I subscribed to you. You're awesome, my dude.

[@Leto85]

Definitely one of my favourite games. It just has so much nostalgia to it.

[@joelsefur666]

I wouldn’t say it’s underrated. It’s a clunky awkward game slapped together in a hurry by a small team. In the context of the time of its release the game promised a lot and delivered none of it. Today it holds value in novelty for being a Jurassic Park experience that most haven’t had the chance to try out. If you love JP I’d definitely give it a go. As an example of gaming tho, it’s a complete failure. It’s a great example of a game ahead of its time, the technology wasn’t ready. Maybe a couple years more and this could have been a great game. In the words of Ian Malcolm “You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you wanna sell it” Now I did see a group working to recreate this game in CryEngine. That would be worth a look for sure.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

Depends on what you mean by 'complete failure'. I'd imagine a complete failure would, by definition, not have any sort of fan base or cause for nostalgia. Though, I would agree with that sentiment in terms of profit margin and failing to manifest what the game was capable of.

[@thedomain2916]

Hey Klay, buddy, chum, I just want to thank you for playing Trespasser when you did. I had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica for a few weeks and got to listen to Jurassic Park the novel (thanks for that sweet audible link) while there AND watch you play while I was bed ridden one day and while waiting in an airport. You really did have a hand to play with the wonderful experience I had down there. I just finished watching today and I feel a bit melancholy but happy that you took us along for the ride. And I'm just grateful for that and I wanted you to know. I'll see you in the next comment section, and as always *building tension* Take it easy.

[@adriank8792]

It's my favorite Jurassic Park game by far and I'm happy that you are so passionate about it. Trespasser deserves to be appreciated

[@callmematt9308]

Even though I didn't play trespasser I found it a amazing games on play through and I still want it even though some people used to say it was bad

[@scotlandghost]

Very well said! On a side note, I'm so proud of how good of a looter you became through your playthrough! In those first episodes, I was worried that you would have to wipe behind your ears before delving into the jungles of Sorna! But the day came when you approached a new structure and thought out loud; "I wonder if there's an AK-47 in there?" 👍 I was cheering and nearly weeping with joy!!! This wonderful summation of a great leap back into my childhood, and I thank you for that.

I definitely consider it a good thing that so many people are playing this version first. I remember feeling devastated as a little kid trying to play this game, but still being blown away by the physics.

[@CybershamanX]

What a wonderful and heartwarming look at a much maligned game. Thank you so much. I'm sure the developers would be proud to hear your take on the game. Speaking of which, have you thought about doing a proper full retrospective on the history of the game's development? You could examine everything all the way through to it's release, it's reception, and even how fans later fixed the game so that it could be enjoyed to the fullest. I don't think something like that exists online. I wonder if you could interview some of those involved with it's creation since even a quick glance at your channel shows your passion for the material and would more than likely soften even the hardest of closed hearts so that they would feel comfortable talking about their experiences. I don't know. It's just a thought. But I can assure you that I certainly would enjoy watching a proper full retrospective like that, especially if it was you doing it. Anyway, thanks again for all of your hard work. I don't know how you do it, but you continue to keep coming up with amazing obscure facts and concepts about Jurassic Park that never cease to both amaze and interest me. Take care and keep up the awesome and passionate work! :)

[@almightytallestred]

Fun fact: Crichton's 1990 novel is based on an idea for a movie script he had sometime in the early 1980's. And I played a demo of Trespasser in 1998. It was equal parts fun, exciting and maddening. Even though it was buggy as hell, I remember playing the demo quite a lot because it was still pretty groundbreaking overall. The idea of realistic physics, wide open terrain, no numerical health indicator, no interface. Bold stuff back in the day, I tell ya ;)

[@verndelap]

Awesome review man, two thumbs up from me. I'm glad I was able to introduce you to this amazing game and to help you grow your channel more. I'm a big fan of the franchise and game, and your channel too, I like all Jurassic Park things just as quality, i try not to favor one over the other to much myself. I used to play this game a lot though when it first came out and it was far ahead of its time with its physics engine and with all its old faults and plotholes, and criticism I didn't care, I still thought it always was a great game regardless. And I agree with others, games that fill in that gaps between movies and give you an immersive world and lore to get involved in and experience like this game are far and few between, these park builders they are pumping now days are for sure getting old.

[@ZaikXory]

I remember seeing commercials of this game and how I desperately wanted to play it. Kinda wanna do so now.

[@KBABZ]

Disclaimer: My only experience with Trespasser is watching Klayton play it. Personally, I disagree that Trespasser is a GREAT game. I agree that it gets shit on a lot, but I personally see too many problems with it to give it an automatic thumbs up. Firstly, I feel the animation system for the dinosaurs is really wonky. I get they wanted to go for a Grow Up-style footstep system, but it really doesn't work and many of the dinosaurs walk incredibly awkwardly and unrealistically. Second, I feel the game's incredibly open level design comes at the extreme detriment to the visuals because the level paths can be so vast, meaning that many other games of the day with more constrained level designs like Crash 3, Metal Gear Solid, Medievil and Spyro often fulfill their visuals better than Trespasser can. I also think that the sound design can be kinda... strange, especially when it comes to the Tyrannosaurs and their footsteps. The gunplay can also be incredibly obtuse, with very poor feedback regarding how much damage you're doing and whether your shots have hit. Coupled with the vague aiming, it means you're often wasting shots that you dearly need, either missing or pumping in way too many bullets just to make sure. And lastly, while I realize it's a 90s game, it's pretty disgusting to me that your health meter is on the protagonist's left tit and you constantly need to look down her shirt when you take damage; that could have EASILY been placed on her hand or forearm for the same effect. Ultimately, if I wanted to play a game about being stuck on a lost island filled with dinosaurs with an emphasis on survival and a lack of a HUD... I'd play the 2005 King Kong game. If it were a AAA Jurassic Park game with high production values, amazing graphics and animation, and VO from the movie cast, it'd be Jurassic World Evolution. Make no mistake though, I don't want to take away from Klayton's experience playing Trespasser. His Let's Play of it is one of my favourites, and it was AWESOME seeing him play through it and be so smitten with the game, and I'm so happy that he's found a JP game that speaks to him so personally. While I don't agree with his opinion, I'm happy that he's happy with the game.

Thanks klayton for uploading Jurassic Park trespasser game and I miss the guy of John Hammond RIP Richard Attenborough 😭😭😭

I was really happy to watch your playthrough of Trespasser, the game brought back some awesome childhood nostalgia

[@dudotolivier6363]

Trespasser IS canon to the movies continuity/canon. When it was released, it was confirmed to be canon, since then, no update about its canons status have been made by Universal or someone having rights on the franchise against it. Reasons why are because the game today, and since a long time, have gone so far into oblivion and was forgetted that nobody within Universal take this game into account when making the recents, current Jurassic (World) movies or related canon products. (So hence why, unsurprisingly, there can be some inconsistencies in the recent Jurassic movies medias we got these recents years). The fact it include elements from the books of Crichton do not constitute evidences showing that this game isn't canon with the movies. It is. Adding elements from a book on which a franchise is based in the following sequels of the first adaptation is basically almost what every franchises do. (Meg 2 for example have a scene with a T-rex completely taken from one of the books of the Meg novels series). The game is clearly wanted to take place within the movies continuity. If inconsistencies or errors are present leading to this idea, it's important to keep in head that this game was in developement hell for almost all of its production. It's so isn't surprising that the final result is filled of errors leading to confusion and giving the false idea it isn't canon with the movies. But it is indeed canon with the movies. Aside this point, it was a perfect review. I agree on everything all along. 👍

[@UmbreonMessiah]

To quote the end of Research Indicates' playthrough: "...and really, at the end of the day, when the game is done and the developers have gone home, what greater compliment is there than to say: I made a fun game."

[@runarvollan]

The vanilla version is playable too, even though Anne refuses to jump most of the time, but it's more intense than the patched/modded versions, with some truly hungry raptors!

[@TopsyTriceratops]

If they do remake this, I hope they don't change much about it. Sure, improve the gameplay and correct the lore, but things like Attenborough's narration, massive landscapes and so on I hope they keep. Not only that, I hope they incorporate what was originally planned from the start. Give the dinosaurs actual behaviors aside from hunger and aggression, make it actual open world without limiting levels, increase the variety of dinosaurs and so on. Unlike back then, we have the technology to make it happen!

[@ggrarl]

"If you're looking for a Jurassic game that hybridizes the novel and movie canons into its story..." Then take a look at the Sega CD game. It's the only game that's close to Trespasser in design.

[@josh-themighty9967]

Trespasser seems like such a great game to me. If it was ever remastered or released on Ps4 I would be up for playing it. Also....the dogma surrounding the first Jurassic park film being the best? I know what you mean. Jurassic world fallen kingdom is my favourite film out of the entire franchise so far. But whenever I say that online so many people can't accept my opinion. Jurassic park the lost world is my second favorite film out of the franchise. I don't understand why some people get so angry when you say you personally prefer other Jurassic park films over the original.

[@PauldeVries]

I played this when it came out and recently started playing it again at 5:30 you say the game is intuitive. Maybe I just interpreted this wrong but, back then and now. I would not call the game intuitive at all. Aiming you could get used to but With every jump, door opening or small passage way you struggle to simply keep your gun in your hand. I know you can wear one on your back but you want all the fire power you can carry while it's not readily available. Other than that, great review, and I agree it's very underrated. Stuff to see your health status through the Tattoo on your chest and ammo status given vocally to have zero HUD on your screen was just great back then!

[@jackmills7758]

I like Trespasser but I think it's a bad game. The gameplay wasn't good but mods do make the game better for me.

[@volksdude1970]

Could you imagine if they remade Trespasser as a VR game and updated the storyline to better fit cannon? We can remaster it. We have the technology. Spare no expense! I want to have a proper JP game, danggit!

[@TPPidgeon]

I've been out of the country and had my phone broken a few times since you started playing the series. I'm so glad I didn't miss this as I hunted the game down shortly after it came out, played it a lot and has a piece of my heart. Unfortunately not many people even know about it. I'm extremely happy you had the oportunity to enjoy it :)

[@7DragonEyes7]

The first VR FPS before VR. If this game was made into a VR it would be insane!

I'm going to be fair and say I haven't played this, but I found Dino Crisis to really reflect Jurassic Park (The Novel) in tone and horror.

[@Mr-ln3lj]

To be honest I have not played a lot of Jurassic Park games, but if it contains Jurassic Park, it is good to me

[@oscarstainton]

While many fans want to see a Jurassic Park first player shooter with a strong horror atmosphere, I personally would love to see an open-world RPG that spans the Five Deaths with hundreds of dinosaur encounters (both herbivore and carnivore), hidden InGen and Biosyn lore, and international groups with different agendas (scientists, mercenaries, criminals) that you have to deal with in addition to the dinosaurs.

I just retired, and just beat Trespasser AGAIN! In over 50 years of life, I have beat this game about 20 times. It is one of the most IMMERSIVE and best RPG games I have played. Resident Evil 4 is another favorite. Trespasser is old graphics and some, awkard controls. But to the Jurassic Park fan - you get to walk around in the park after evacuation battle dinosaurs all the way to the top of the highest mountain on the island. BEYOND EPIC! I challenge someone to re make this - mostly the same with MODERN graphics. I can't find anything today where the game is EPIC while you are stuck in Jurassic Park. FANTASTIC game!

[@retromuel]

Finally got round to playing this on my Windows 98 laptop this morning. It's so engaging and atmospheric and I can't quite believe how advanced the physics are for its day. It's arguably still more advanced than your average 1st person shooter in that you have to actually aim the GUN (rather than a cross hair welded to the centre of your line of sight). Fending of dinosaurs is satisfying and engaging because of this. You actually feel like a person exploring an environment rather than a hovering camera with a cross hair. The storytelling is subtle and very engaging too as is the 3D Sensaura sound (if you have the right hardware.) Has its flaws of course but a great game. A real lost treasure.

[@Xenosaurian]

Why do you say Trespasser isn't canon though? Noting that the "1989" issue can just be explained away as a mistake on Hammond's part (and the writers), but it doesn't mean the game isn't canon, it's simply not a compelling enough reason to reject it as canon.

[@leevieskolin217]

Attenborough's work obviously comes from an earlier script in the Lost World that was going to follow the Novel's backstory a bit more. Regardless of such, it's still his best work as an actor, and it deserves everyone's attention.

I wiiiish there was a modern Jurassic Park game like this. I feel like the Franchise has so fucking much potential for good games but for some reason they all end up being mediocre at best. i mean, just from the top of my head: An Alien Isolation like game would be GREAT in the Jurassic Park Franchise. Outsmarting Raptors, Hiding from T-Rexes by not moving. Its all fitting so well. what about a Day-Z Kind of Game set in the Jurassic World DURING the Dino Outbreak? That would be amazing too! And what do they do? Themepark Clone and a fucking Pokemon Go copy.

[@jamesb7299]

I.. just watched a 20 year old game review lol, the things my love of Jurassic Park put me through. I was impressed by the game mainly for it's use of physics, the environment reminded me of another dinosaur game from the late 90s called Carnivores. I would actually be pretty excited to play this if it could get a remastered version, maybe not the most advanced level of graphics, but at least Xbox 360/PS3 quality.

[@johncase1353]

The devs of Half Life 2 actually took inspiration from Trespasser when it came to it physics based puzzles and objects actually having weight.

[@felipet.s910]

I really want a game like this for Jurassic World. Let us play as a mercenary/Ingen agent, working during Isla Nublar 1994 cleanup. It would be epic, and of couse, it has to be CANON.

[@Dough_Daddy88]

Yes. Most epic, considering they have never made another attempt at an open world survival horror or RPG since. This game was trying to be VR, before the birth of VR.... Amazing

[@urktheturtle2988]

Hey, if you are ever looking for another Jurassic Park game to play. Why not give D&D a shot? I could homebrew you and some friends of yours up a JP based D&D game if you like, just a thought.

This was good, please do Jurassic World Evolution. Also a lot of DLC has come out for it, so now the Troodon, Herrerasaurus, Proceratosaurus, Stegoceratops, Olorotitan, Iguanadon and others are there in the form of some paid DLC. You should try playing it again!

[@legrandmechantloup7983]

Thank you This game is pretty good I don't know how to explain this but I really miss the Jurassic Park universe back in the 90s In books, movies and games is all about those islands, mysterious places where thinks gone insanely wrong Such feel of adventures, danger and mad science Yeah.. I'm going to read the Lost World again tonight !

[@cordeliachase601]

Honestly, you can sum up this game up with the one word that makes it good. “Charm.” The soundtrack, the voice overs, the puzzles, lots of guns, and being an open world. That’s enough to make it good. If this was recreated to be more updated, the obvious bugs taken away, maybe Ann being able to hold a few more things (like many games give the ability to), maybe some more survival horror like hiding in a locker or closet with a dinosaur trying to sniff you out, etc. This game could be amazing!

This game was bad when it came out filled with glitches, AI problems, bad graphics and was unplayable. However, even if the game has been fixed. This game still had passion and wanted to tell a story for the fans about the lore. Which I have more respect for it than the games we have today being butchered by greedy corporations or game studios lieing to the fans of what they are presenting in the game that's not true. Aliens: Colonial Marines Fallout 76 Halo 5 Star Wars Battlefront 2 I am sick of this nonsense that we had in the last 8 years. Mainly on EA and Activision as prime examples of why the game industry sucks right now.

Like how wrong some people are when they say Jp3 was better than Dominion, right? *RIGHT?🥴*

I suppose its underrated if you just played it in 2019 like this. Im shocked Klayton it took you that long to play this game being a big JP fan. Either way I got this game upon release around 1998 and I loved it then and loved it just as much during my latest playthrough. Its incredible to look at, incredibly immersive. I remember the bad reviews back in 1998 and was almost shocked by them. I guess if you go by the hype and some of the glitches I suppose you could put the game down... Being 12 at the time of playing this in 98 I was more patient and tolerable of some of the games issues. The truth is the voice acting of Hammond and Anne along with the immersive levels and atmosphere were a JP fans dream at the time. Im a pretty hardcore gamer and have been since the 90s and I still put this game in my Top 20 overall just for all the little things it did. The people who hate on this game are way to picky IMO. There is a perfectly immersive JP adventure in the stock version. Even the whole way you use Annes arm to navigate the environment... I get it can be frustrating if you dont master it, but I thought it was great and innovative at the time. Especially now with the CE mod that modernizes the graphics and allows for endless draw distance, the game is just fun to walk around and experience the Hammond memoirs, look at the scenery, and check out some fun locations.

Klayton, I’d like to talk about jurassic park with you sometime, if you want though. Great video too I’ve never played trespasser myself because it doesn’t work on my laptop :/

Do you think that the T-Rex family will make an appearance in JW3? Maybe they got the dinosaurs off of Isla Sorna before they went to Isla Nublar? Or maybe they were at both islands at the same time and got as many of the dinosaurs off of the islands as possible. If the Spinosaurus is supposed to be in the 3rd movie, what are the possibilities of the T-Rex family returning in the 3rd movie and Ian Malcolm recognizing them? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic?

I played most of the JP games back in the day and I loved them all as I did with the films too, but I gotta say The Lost World JP for the ps1 is my all time favorite I mean c'mon playing as the Rex AND the Raptor taking out all those Ingen hunters was beyond EPIC!!! Who else remembers the good ol days or am I that old??

Imagine an Alien: Isolation type with Jurrasic Park setting. Could be done. Good luck getting universal to cough up the money though.

I would definitely say that due to the community in trescom, the game has become much better in it's playability. Not that it's a garbage game, but I do remember the issues that it had when it came out back in the 90's. One thing I remember, was that graphics acceleration was fairly new at the time, so running the game at it's intended frame rate was hard to do. The way the original game worked, was that it would register certain things during certain frames (like input, aiming, etc) and if you had a hiccup in your rendering it would sometimes not register and it would cause all sorts of issues (like not registering shots, missing shots, being a little off on aiming, not being fast enough for a jump or not jumping high enough. not jumping at all and just falling, etc). Another thing was the weapons would get caught and dropped way more often. You'd lose weapons while platforming, or getting attacked, while going through houses. Another thing I remember was since the draw distance back in the day was prety short (you mention like turok and the like), it was similar on PC. The original draw distance wasn't as far if i remember. At least the LOD models would be cut out much closer than this version, and the textures were much lower res. They would only show at higher detail if you had the detail maxxed and were up close. Things like text textures were barely readable, unless you had it on max settings. Doing things like dropping items or opening doors dropped the frame rate quite a bit on older pc's. I still beat the game, but I agree. I wish it was longer and didn't have as many dead boring filler spots.

Even as a critic I still liked Lost World, Trespasser, and Jurassic World. The two films and game do offer good things that shouldn't be overlooked.

many peoples praise valve, and how they with half life 2 revolutionized the concept of modern physics-based engines games, but trespasser did already that in 98, and this is pretty amazing if you think of, i've played that game in 2004/05 and i spend the best period of my kid/gamer life with that. In the end, i think the main reasons why that game was a flop is for the super weird dinosaurs animations system used in the game and the shooting system with that weird junky jazz hand of Anne, that make everything so hard and painfull. Provably with some more "standard" preset animations non physic-based and a normal shooting, that game could have been a milestone in video game history, but they have try to do too mutch too early i belive.

This game was a broken mess, but my god back in 1998 I was just a 9 year old kid, who wanted every single JP game I could get my tiny hands on.
