Rex rampages through a surprisingly empty San Diego… or at least not yet. In this scenario, things don’t go ridiculously off the rails to the extent that a T. We got to go hands-on with the second scenario in the game, an alternate take on the story for The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Frontier already explored this with the Return to Jurassic Park expansion pack for the first game, but have run with it for the sequel.

Personally, I’m all about the Chaos Theory mode, a series of ‘what if?’ scenarios set in and around the narratives of the film franchise. It’s an interesting opening set up, and I’m sure Frontier have cooked up some great scenarios off the back of it, leaning into the kinds of conservationism found in their Planet Zoo series and taking you to more extreme climates that the dinos are ending up in. In particular, the Baryonyx needs the pescitarian feeder submerged in a large enough pool of water, and likes to have rocks nearby, while the Triceratops needs there to be enough ground fibre for it to feed on – there’s no more need to set up plant feeders for herbivorous dinos.

The first target is a Baryonyx, the second a Triceratops, both needing you to tailor their enclosures to cater to their wants and needs. It’s a tutorial-style setup, tasking you with taking control of a helicopter for the first time to fly off across the arid lands to find and tranquillise the wild dinosaurs. The first campaign mission of Jurassic World Evolution 2 takes you to Arizona, taking over a partially constructed facility with several species of dinosaur having roamed nearby. That’s in addition to a bunch of returning original characters from Frontier’s first game, Cabot Finch reappearing from his appearances in the DLC packs, having snagged a role as the Assistant Director to the DFW. For some reason, that means turning to film protagonists Claire Dearing and Owen Grady (despite their rather integral role in letting them all loose), trusting in their expertise to start the wider capture and preservation efforts of these animals. The government simply has to step in, the Department of Fish and Wildlife stepping in to try and manage the situation.
