The game s plot, which is somewhat different from the film s plot, has players acting as David Espinoza, a member of a distinguished science team, on a mission of research. But a player s fun is about to be cut short when an evil, terrorist corporation, on a search for Dino DNA, attempts a hostile takeover. Players try to escape on the helicopter that brought the team to the island, but the guards target and destroy the craft before it makes it to safety.
Players fall over a waterfall and are swept away, believed to be dead.
When they wake up, they find themselves deep in the jungle, with only a few items of equipment. They must find and rescue the other team members, fight the aggressive dinosaurs, and defeat the terrorists. Do battle with ferocious, untamed dinosaurs and crooked, evil henchmen. Players are able to tap into an intricate network of security cameras for tactical advantages. Explore a variety of levels, including the jungle, worker village, canyons, caverns and security camp.
