Characters

---

The Lost World: Jurassic Park features five choosable game characters.

Compsognathus

As the Compsognathus you use your leaping and evading movement to escape some of the larger predators. However, engaging smaller opponents such as Staurikosaurus and Dimorphodon can build your instinct attack level for later encounters in game

Human Hunter

Braving a steep canyonside as the Hunter you will have to escape an angry gang of Pachycephalosaurus as they try to ram you with their rock-hard skulls. Use your piton to get to safety and fire your flame thrower and grenades at oncoming carnivores to survive.

Raptor

As the Velociraptor you will have to ward off a myriad of prehistoric beasts fighting to protect their territory from the chaos created by man's arrival. Slice and dice your adversaries using aerial lunge attacks, holds and fierce snaps while avoiding fiery pits, rigged explosive crates and other perils.

Tyrannosaurus rex

As the Tyrannosaurus rex you have to master various attack maneuvers to defend yourself against ambush attacks from Velociraptors, Commandos and one on one battles with other larger beasts. The game play is a bit more brutish than the other choosable dinosaurs, and sometimes less control is easily available.
