10 Obscure Video Game Movie Tie-Ins You Had No Idea Existed
2. Warpath: Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park received a few licensed game spin-offs during the nineties, including the infamous Trespasser, which promised to be a grounding breaking first person adventure game but instead limped onto shelves hopelessly broken.
EA had to milk the license for all it was worth, and after presumably overhearing a chat between school kids about which dinosaur would win in a fight – a T-Rex or a Triceratops – came the brain wave; a fighting game! The end product was Warpath, where friends could pit various dinosaurs against one another; until they realised the game was kind of dull and went back to Tekken 3 instead.
The game isn’t awful, but the sluggish controls and lousy hit detection take a lot of the intensity out of the fights. Plus, the game had to cater to the fact the dinosaurs are all different sizes, resulting in the Raptor and the T-Rex being roughly the same height, which looks silly no matter the justification.
