Story
There's no story here. I'm not very familiar with the Jurassic Park movies, but I really don't think this spin-off video game is connected. According Wikipedia, it's linked to some Yahoo website. Whatever.
Sound 9/15
Mambo music with dinosaur groans in the background. I really liked the music at first, but after just a few seconds I ended up ripping my ears off. Also, besides the dinosaur groans, the music doesn't really fit the theme at all.
Graphics 16/20
The graphics have a cartoony feel to them, which gives the game some flavor. They aren't the most stylish or fun sprites I've ever seen, but they're better than those sprites that attempt to look 3D and real.
Appeal 5/25
This game makes you feel like a chump. A chump with the attention span of a scientist. It's really amazing. This game makes a loser out of you, a loser of me, and a loser out of Michael Crichton.
Gameplay 15/40
You start the game and you're presented with 5 minigames. That's the whole game, 5 minigames. It doesn't take long to realize this is a Game and Watch clone with dinosaur sprites. Seriously, all the minigames found here can be found in former Game and Watch titles. Absolute rubbish. The worst part is that all the minigames are extremely easy and slow. I got bored playing this video game.
Overall45/100
Jurassic Park Institute Tour: Dinosaur Rescue is a mediocre scoop of ice cream taken from the box entitled Game and Watch. Don't import this. Ever.
