In 1997, most of the world had moved on to the 32-Bit (and 64-Bit) platforms, but the Genesis was still trucking along. Sega, aware of how well it had done twice before with Jurassic Park-themed Genesis games, decided to treat gamers to a dedicated sequel based on the then-new film.

This time the player was just a generic character charged with the unenviable task of cleaning up the island of dinos. Two players could work together in Cooperative Mode or work against each other in Competitive Mode. Plus new vehicles made their way into the franchise like the hovercraft.

The viewpoint had changed from the earlier Genesis titles to a more top-down perspective similar to the first SNES Jurassic Park but retained the action orientation of the Sega entries.
