When I first heard of Jurassic Park: Scan Command, I was ready for a solid game. I mean, who ever heard of a game where you use your cereal box to whip up a vicious T-Rex? Needless to say, I was pumped for this game. However, it came with tons of problems. The installation took several hours, and then the scanner wouldn't work at all. After several days I got it to work, and successfully made my first dino, a raptor. However several hours into the game you MUST fight a gigantic stegosaurus, which mauled my raptor. Literally. I tried and tried and tried, but I never got past that dang stegosarus.
The worst part about Scan Command is that you can't make a dino you haven't killed in battle. That means you won't be able to make a T-Rex until late in the game. And just like that, hype over.
