Awesome / Jurassic World Evolution 2

Go To

  • Each of the Hatchery exit animations are wonderfully unique to each species in the game, while also giving each one some personality to them. The Allosaurus, Liopleurodon, and Mosasaurus animations are particularly memorable; for the Allosaurus, one of them appears to be so anxious to escape from Hatchery, that it starts desperately shoving the door out of its way, while both the Liopleurodon and Mosasaurus are framed in a pretty foreboding way as they are released into the lagoon.
    • Credit goes to the Tyrannosaurus, as well. The first thing the camera shows is a Giant Foot of Stomping as it calmly makes its way out of the Hatchery and then rises and moves to an over-the-shoulder view of the rex looking out over its new territory, while the ominous Ethereal Choir from the very beginning of the original movie heralds the arrival of the island's true queen.
  • Each species have their own unique social interacting animations that just makes them feel all the more like living, breathing animals. Some will playfully shove each other or gnaw on each other’s horns, while others may just rub up against each other or briefly chase one another. The Edmontosaurus and Maiasaura are particularly curious as they will occasionally engage in bucking behavior with one another, not unlike wild horses do today when defending themselves from predators or territory from others of their own species.
  • The player accomplishes more than anyone else could for several of the Chaos Theory modes. Not only do they successfully create Jurassic World featuring a happy, healthy Indominus rex, not only do they open a working Jurassic Park to the public (granted, without Nedry’s sabotage this time, but still), but they create a working Jurassic Park San Diego – something that’s presented as a truly horrible, dangerous idea both in The Lost World and by Ian Malcolm in-game, but the player pulls it off anyway.
  • The Dominion DLC adds a final Chaos Theory mode, one where the player personally creates a DFW-sponsored dinosaur sanctuary near Owen’s ranch in the Sierra Nevadas, and opens it to the public while personally fending off dinosaur poachers. This is impressive enough as-is, but while fending off the poachers, the player can wrangle the animals to head in certain directions. This means it’s entirely possible to run poachers off simply by sending a dinosaur stampede directly at their vehicles. In fact, the second animals the player will get access to are Triceratops, as if to push the point home.
  • Utahraptor killing animation. It jumps ahead of a escaping guest, blocking their escape route with its own body! Afterwards, while the poor soul tries to back away from it, it looks at them in a very birdlike manner (mirroring Dr. Alan Grant speech from the first movie), by later killing them by ripping their heart out of their chest! Not so bad for a "six-foot turkey"...
    • Its goat killing animation deserves mention too. It jumps on the goat, holds it in its clawed arms, and later yeets the poor animal into air!
  • Due to being able to kill the giant carnivores like Acrocanthosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex with its clawed feet, Gigantoraptor is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
