History VideoGame / LegoJurassicWorld

** In the ''Jurassic Park III'' section, the ''T. rex'' actually manages to hold its own against the ''Spinosaurus'', tossing the Spino around the battlefield a few times. When the protagonists flee, they're still duking it out. This is likely due to fans often hating this scene in the movie for applying TheWorfEffect to the Rex.

* TheBlackDudeDiesFirst: In the adaptation of the first ''Jurassic Park'' film, Mr. Arnold is not the first character to be attacked by a dinosaur, nor the first to be apparently killed, but he's the first one who doesn't reappear later alive and well. Although dino handler Ellis is not eaten by the ''Indominus Rex'' as in the film, he is no longer seen after the ''I. Rex'' throws him out of her paddock.

** Generally speaking, bowdlerization is all over the place throughout the game just by virtue of every single death (at least as shown in the movies) being averted: Muldoon doesn't get mauled by a raptor, Ludlow isn't eaten by the baby rex, Cooper doesn't get chomped by the spino, and Masrani doesn't get killed in the helicopter crash, among many others. Which begs the question of why they don't appear in later levels. Of course, RuleOfFunny is in play for all of these.

* BumblingSidekick: During the sequence at the end of ''Jurassic Park'' where the Velociraptors are hunting the humans through the Visitor Centre, the subordinate raptors are depicted like this, getting frequently distracted and having slapstick accidents.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcAWX3tR9Oc one of the trailers]] makes ''sure'' you know it.

** Nash tries this on the ''Spinosaurus'' - using the satellite phone, which is barely large enough to hold the dinosaur's jaws open without injuring Nash's hand. Then, the ''Spinosaurus'' just swallows it.
* PepperSneeze: Used, with a suitably enormous pepper pot, against Indominus Rex.

* QuoteMine: Nearly all of the voicework in cutscenes is clipped straight from the movies. Many lines are used in the same context as the films -- but some aren't (for instance, Ian Malcolm's line about "the essence of chaos" is used when the cow creates a cartoonish disaster to avoid being fed to the raptors).

* SparedByTheAdaptation: The game spares [[spoiler:Jophery Brown from the raptor holding pen scene (the raptors were only after his lunch), Nedry (who distracts the ''Dilophosaurus'' with food and runs off), Muldoon (escapes the Big One offscreen), Gennaro (gets puked up by the ''T. rex'' at the end), all of Malcolm's teammates in ''The Lost World'', as well as Grant's in the second (usually seen running away before the dinosaurs can kill them and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never being seen again]]) and even Ludlow (who gets his comeuppance by being trapped as the baby ''T. rex's'' plaything). In the ''Jurassic World'' segment, many of the ''Indominus Rex'''s victims survive, Masrani and co. are seen crawling away from the wreckage of the helicopter, and the entire Raptor Squad survive the game and loot the shops after all the humans have left. Even the ''I. Rex'' is shown alive inside the ''Mosasaurus'' playing poker with Zara and a few other workers.]].

* XRaySparks: During the showdown with ''Indominus Rex'', Owen electrocutes the ''Indominus'' by dropping a neon light sign on her and her Lego-block skeleton is briefly visible.

** Pretty much ''everyone'' gets upgraded to badass one way or another. The Kirbys are not TheLoad Family anymore and can either fight the dinos or help through obstacles. Grant, Ellie, Ian, Sarah and many others can punch ''Velociraptors'', ''Compsognathus'' or ''Dilophosaurus''. Even characters that you don't control in the story mode, like Gennaro or Nedry, can fight off enemies or help rescue people!

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Baryonyx'', ''Corythosaurus'', ''Troodon'' and ''Dimorphodon'' are among the playable dinosaurs, though ''Dimorphodon'' is not a true dinosaur. It should be noted these genera are among the StockDinosaurs, but are rarely seen in mainstream media.

* SloMoBigAir: At least once during any dinosaur chase sequence involving a large carnivore, which includes:

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The "Unlucky Bastard" from [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark The Lost World: Jurassic Park]] is renamed the "Unlucky Bystander".

** Generally speaking, bowdlerization is all over the place throughout the game just by virtue of every single death (at least as shown in the movies) being averted: Muldoon doesn't get mauled by a raptor, Ludlow isn't eaten by the baby rex, Cooper doesn't get chomped by the spino, and Masrani doesn't get killed in the helicopter crash, among many others. [[FridgeLogic Which begs the question of why they don't appear in later levels]]. Of course, RuleOfFunny is in play for all of these.

** Pretty much ''everyone'' gets upgraded to badass one way or another. The Kirbys are not TheLoad Family anymore and can either fight the dinos or help save obstacles. Grant, Ellie, Ian, Sarah and many others can punch velociraptors, compys or dilophosaurus. Even characters that you don't control in the story mode, like Genaro or Nedry, can fight off enemies or help rescue people!

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The Free Play character select menu includes a list of what abilities each character has to make it easier to figure out who can solve what puzzles.

* TheBlackDudeDiesFirst: In the adaptation of the first ''Jurassic Park'' film, Mr. Arnold is not the first character to be attacked by a dinosaur, nor the first to be apparently killed, but he's the only one who doesn't reappear later alive and well.

** And '''again''' in Jurassic World, in the Raptor Hunting sequence, the lawnmower is seen chasing after two raptors in the background. Pretty good batteries in that thing.
** Nedry, Gennaro, and Muldoon all survive the events of ''Jurassic Park'' level, but they don't make it off the island. 22 years later, during a ''Jurassic World'' level, they're found living in the ruins of the parking garage that Zach and Gray explore.

** [[Film/{{Jaws}} Brody, Quint, and Hooper]] appear in the ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' segment.

* DeathByAdaptation: Subverted. In ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', [[spoiler:the ''Spinosaurus'' is simply scorched by a fire set by the protagonists and flees uninjured]]. In the LEGO video game version, [[spoiler:she tries to comically escape from the fire, only to fall right in and seemingly die. Then she turns up completely unharmed]].

* GameWithinAGame: In the video game arcade at Jurassic World, one of the machines can be activated by a character with the hacking ability to play a racing minigame.

** Isla Nublar is the site of both ''Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World''; the latter even contains [[spoiler: the old Visitor's Center with several characters who survived the game version of ''Jurassic Park'' hiding out!]] The hub functions, such as character customization and minikit progress display, are in the Jurassic Park Visitor's Center and the Jurassic World Innovation Center.

* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: A few, but most noticeable in ''Jurassic World''. It features many massive fallen trees which would be hard for a human to climb over, but they still manage to stop a brachiosaurus in its tracks.
* KnightOfCerebus: Like in [[Film/JurassicWorld the film,]] the Indominus Rex is taken seriously. This is in contrast to the T. Rex and Spinosaurus, which did get a few jokes made at their expense. There are a few sequences in which the player is required to escape the Indominus and the characters will move more slowly because they're scared of it.

** Nedry props the Dilophosaurus's mouth open with a chicken leg he's been carrying around and munching on for the whole game.
** One of the mercenaries tries this on the Spinosaurus -- using the satphone, which isn't remotely large enough to hold the dinosaur's jaws open. The Spinosaurus just swallows it.

* ProducePelting: A cartoonishly implausible sequence of events results in the Spinosaurus being trapped in a tree that looks like a set of stocks while Billy throws fruit at it.

* SloMoBigAir: At least once during any sequence where a carload of people is fleeing from a T. rex.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The game spares [[spoiler:the park worker from the raptor holding pen scene (the raptors were only after his lunch), Nedry (who distracts the ''Dilophosaurus'' with food and runs off), Muldoon (escapes the Big One offscreen), Gennaro (gets puked up by the ''T. rex'' at the end), all of Malcolm's teammates in ''The Lost World'', as well as Grant's in the second (usually seen running away before the dinosaurs can kill them and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never being seen again]]) and even Ludlow (who gets his comeuppance by being trapped as the baby ''T. rex's'' plaything). In the ''Jurassic World'' segment, many of the ''Indominus Rex'''s victims survive, Masrani and co. are seen crawling away from the wreckage of the helicopter, and the entire Raptor Squad survive the game and loot the shops after all the humans have left. Even the ''I. Rex'' is shown alive inside the ''Mosasaurus'' playing poker with Zara and a few other workers.]].

** Every ice cream van in the game (and there are a remarkable number of ice cream vans to be found on these mostly-deserted islands) plays the theme tune.

** A lot of the T. rex's attacks, especially against larger 'opponents' like vehicles and the Spinosaurus, seem to involve slamming the side of its massive head into targets to crush and stun.
** The ''Pachycephalosaurus'' as expected.

* WithCatlikeTread: Any time the characters are sneaking quietly around to avoid being eaten by a dinosaur, pausing only to noisily smash nearby objects and noisily collect studs. (However, averted with Eric Kirby's stealth mode, which disables the "smash" button when it's active.)
* XRaySparks: During the showdown with Indominus Rex, Owen tries electrocuting and its Lego-block skeleton is briefly visible.

** In the ''Jurassic Park III'' section, the ''T. rex'' actually manages to hold its own against the ''Spinosaurus'', tossing the Spino around the battlefield a few times. When the protagonists flee, they're still duking it out.

** One of the random attendees at Jurassic World seen on the main menu looks almost exactly like [[Franchise/{{Ninjago}} Zane]], and a couple of park attendees can be seen wearing the same Universal baseball caps sold at Ride/UniversalStudios.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Baryonyx'', ''Corythosaurus'', ''Troodon'' and ''Dimorphodon'' are among the playable dinosaurs, though ''Dimorphodon'' is not a real dinosaur.

'''''Lego Jurassic World''''' is a 2015 Lego action-adventure video game developed by TT Fusion and published by Creator/WarnerBrosInteractiveEntertainment, which was released for Microsoft Windows, UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS, OS X, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita, UsefulNotes/WiiU, UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, and UsefulNotes/XboxOne. It adapts the plots [[Film/JurassicPark of]] [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark all]] [[Film/JurassicParkIII four]] [[Film/JurassicWorld films]] in the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise. The game was released on 12 June 2015 to coincide with the theatrical release of ''Film/JurassicWorld''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Baryonyx'' is among the playable dinosaurs.

* XRaySparks: During the showdown with Indominus Rex, Owen tries electrocuting and it its Lego-block skeleton is briefly visible.

* BadassAdorable: Every single character in the game, but special mention goes to Billy Brennan (who was already [[{{Badass}} both of]] [[PrettyBoy these things]] in his original film incarnation) and the Raptor Squad.

* AdaptationalWimp: The ''Spinosaurus'' is turned into a comically ineffectual BigBadWannabe who suffers a very undignified near-DeathByAdaptation. It also fails to kill the ''Tyrannosaurus'' unlike in the film (though we don't see who wins).

** In the level where Ian's team are being hunted through the long grass by velociraptors, one obstacle is disposed of by constructing a lawnmower; after dealing with the obstacle it buzzes off into the distance, and a raptor chases after it. Near the end of the level they go past again in the background, only now the lawnmower is chasing after the raptor.

* PalatePropping: One of the mercenaries tries this on the Spinosaurus -- using the satphone, which isn't remotely large enough to hold the dinosaur's jaws open. The Spinosaurus just swallows it.

** Isla Nublar is the site of both ''Jurassic Park'' and ''Jurassic World''; the latter even contains [[spoiler: the old Visitor's Center with several characters who survived the game version of ''Jurassic Park'' hiding out!]]
