Jurassic Park III: Island Attack (known as Jurassic Park III: Advanced Action^[2] in Japan and Jurassic Park III: Dino Attack^[1] in Europe; originally known as Jurassic Park III: Primal Fear^[3]) is a video game for the Game Boy Advance. Island Attack is loosely based on the 2001 film Jurassic Park III.

Gameplay

After crash-landing on Isla Sorna, Dr. Alan Grant contacts the coast guard and is told to reach the island's coast to be rescued. Playing as Grant, the player's goal is to travel through eight areas of Isla Sorna to reach the coast.^[4]

There are two types of levels: freeroam, and forward only. Every level uses freeroam, with the exception of three. These three levels also use cross-section camera angles, while the rest of the levels use an overview camera.

Reception

Jennifer Beam of AllGame rated the game two and a half stars out of five and wrote, "Dr. Grant's character, though easily controlled, can essentially do one of two things: tirelessly fire his stun gun upon the dinos who in turn inflict ten times the damage on his health meter, or run like heck. Running is usually the best option, if you could even call it an option. Yet, he won't be winning any marathons since he usually escapes by only a hair." Beam praised the game's "fairly realistic" dinosaurs, but criticized their dull color schemes. Beam also wrote, "Not much excitement is generated from the background music and sound effects are lacking."^[5]
