The plot of Evolution basically ignores the events of both World films. And I’m happy to say Evolution uses that potential much better than its namesake film-at least for a while. When it comes to good premises, planning and operating your own version of Jurassic Park is definitely one. Other than that, though, this park management sim is its own scaly beast.Īs well it should be. There’s a Chris Pratt soundalike to match a photo of his face that occasionally advises you. Bryce Dallas Howard seemingly contributed about 30 seconds of voice acting. There are nods here and there: you can eventually build those hideous bubble cars, for instance. Which is why I’m thrilled that, despite sharing a name, Jurassic World Evolution has nearly nothing to do with that infuriatingly profitable nightmare.
It wasted a perfectly fine premise (rich people doubling down on past mistakes for profit) on a soulless, oddly sadistic “adventure” that wiped out whatever hope I had left that there will ever be a great sequel to the wonderful 1993 original Jurassic Park.
