I’ll start off this review agreeing that this does resemble Pokémon Go, however there are many things that separate the two. First off the only thing really similar between the two is that they both use GPS to make their worlds. It’d be very unfair to call it a Pokemon Go rip-off because in my opinion it’s very much it’s own game. There’s too many good things about this game to list so I’ll just state some of the bad-ish ones: The fact that some dinosaurs only appear in certain environments is a good idea however it doesn’t work very well in my opinion and favors certain areas; for instance at my house I can only seem to find four legged dinosaurs who’s natural habitats in real life vary quite a bit. At my friends house however he seems to find loads of Spinosaurus’ (Sorry if I spelt it wrong) and other predators. The environment around his house isn’t actually any different from mine, he actually lives down the street from me. I can assure you that the area around his house would not be hospitable for a Spinosaurus so that confuses me a little but not as much as the fact that carnivores spawn around his house yet herbivores spawn around mine; even though there is nothing that separates our houses more than 2 miles. I understand that location matters but we live in the same town and the conditions are the same at both of our houses. I hope this review can help someone wanting to get this game and even maybe one of the developers, thank you for your time.

For the concept and dino collecting and graphics this game would get 5 stars. BUT and these are big ones, like other reviews mention, the game has some bugs and major glitches. This in regards to unmatched level battles against other players, rigged matches where you lose when you should win, and freezing or the game playing for you when it shouldn’t and you end up losing. Also the points and bonuses in the game that we should have received we weren’t getting, the numbers on the screen didn’t match or allocate to what we should have received. Now for the BEWARE. I have had to restart this game from scratch for my son twice already, once because of the above issues being so bad, that it was unplayable and so unenjoyable. The second time it was a bit better with the aforementioned, however one day when he got on, his whole collection of Dino’s (which was better then the first) and other items were wiped clean, he had nothing left. He was so upset and cried so hard, it broke my heart to pieces and I refused to let him continue playing. That was maybe 2 months ago, and because he is in absolute love with dinos, yet again he wants me to re-download it for the 3rd time. Hopefully someone who can really fix these issues sees this and looks into it. It’s sad and unfair that people waste good time and money to only end up sobbing in something they truly enjoy with all their heart.

JW alive has a been a favorite of mine even before it came out (I pre-registered). And it has served me well. There are very annoying bugs going around the game, and recommend those should be fixed. Like if I accidentally exit the app, it can restart the whole game, make this magenta colored screen, or basically kick me out of the battle I’m in and take control of my team with AI saying “Catching up to present”. Also, Ludia, I think the game can have a few more features like: alliance peace treaty’s/alliance friends and alliance wars/conflicts, and betting like for cash, coin or DNA in battles and stuff like that. Also, the AI I face in campaign and just normal battles, get like 75% critical chance for them (while it says they still have 5%), while I still have 5%, they also know what your going for so they can perfectly counter the attack. But, anyways, Ludia has done such a good job with COVID-19 situation, there adding giga scents, which attract a variety of different dinosaurs, and have increased the drone meter for normal and VIP. Speaking of VIP, VIP should be lowered to $5 a month instead of $10 a month just because of its abilities and features. And Ludia, some back round info, I honestly got this game noticed by me from TheGamingBeaver, so when you get the time, give him some JW the game and JW alive bucks (also say it was from me).Thank Ludia! (If you even read this).

I rarely review games because they are so costly. Not to mention the time it takes to refresh or start another section of the game. Jurassic World Live however can be played completely free. I admit I have put money into this game to level faster but it’s definitely not required. You can easily play this game for hours everyday and I love the pvp and raids. The map of the area you are in is really awesome as well. You obtain dino dna from literally your own backyard. You can walk or drive to obtain even more if you are so inclined but there is plenty in your own home area. Combining the dna to make stronger super dinos can be very slow at times but what fun would it be if you didn’t have to work for the “Unique” and “Apex” creatures. And to obtain the Apex creatures it does take the coordination of your alliance but that really turns into a lot of fun. There is limited chat capability and I’m sure that is to keep everyone safe but that can be a little frustrating at times. Especially when you are coordinating a raid with your alliance but Discord pretty much solves that issue. I’ve met a lot of great people. I highly recommend this game. It’s quite ingenious and they are constantly giving us new updates. (Developers please stop changing the dinos “powers” around, it’s frustrating when we work so hard on a creature and then it’s worthless at the next update). Thank you for making such an amazing game!!!!!
