1. About this guide
=====================
This game has been out a couple of months, and I only just got it a
couple of days ago. This game is for PS2, and is the most awe-inspiring,
jaw-dropping simulation game I have ever played. It's really a mix of
Rollercoaster Tycoon and Theme Park World mixed together, except ten times
better. You start with asn island, no messing around buying land or that
crap, you get the whole island, and you get a few buildings, ranger centre,
hatching facilities etc and you have to build up the park until it gets a
'five star rating'. That's it really, but there's an added twist to it, you
get disasters, such as dinasaur breakouts and tropical storms (more about
those later).
PLEASE NOTE - I will only accept e-mails if they are relevant to the game,
have the words 'Jurassic Park' in the title, and to do with
PS2. In previous FAQs I have made, I have had people asking
me what to do on X-box. I DON'T WANT X-BOX E-MAILS, I will
just block you from my account. There, you've been warned.
===============
2. The basics
===============
------------
- Controls
------------
Left D-pad - Move forwards/backwards left and right
Right D-pad - Move camera in/out, rotate view left/right
X - Main button, select/accept commands
[] - Brings up menu allowing you to build etc.
/\ - Cancel
O - Open mail
START - Pause
SELECT - No function
-----------------
- Rating system
-----------------
When you first open your park, you'll see in the left hand corner,
below your budget, nothing. ut when you get an e-mail from Hammond saying
your populaity has increased, you'll see a half-star, or whatever 'rating'
you have. The rating start at no stars, which means your park is either
new or extremely rubbish, up to five stars, which means that you are a very
talented person, and that your park is the most popular in the world.
When you get a whole star, you get bonuses too, so it's worthwhile
trying to get them. To get extra stars, make sure you have a variety of
good dinosaurs, and provide visitors with what they want. If you have a
park full of boring dinosaurs, and the visitors are complaining, you'll
get a low rating, but if you have T-rexes and such, you'll get five whole
stars.
Dinosaurs also have star ratings. A really boring dinosaur such as the
Dryosaurus with only one star will bore visitors while big and dangerous
dinosaurs will give them something to talk about.
===============================
3. Main Menu and In-park Menu
===============================
When you first start the game, you'll be asked to chose a language,
and then you'll be given seven options at the title screen...
