User questions & answers

Question: Is it two player capable
Answer: According to PlayStation Store it shows that it is a 1 Player game.
Question: Why does it say July 3rd if the game comes out June 12th
Answer: July 3rd is the physical version of the game while June 12 is the digital version. Honestly I don't get it either but I guess it's easier to release digitally.
Question: Will this game have a sandbox mode where u can do anything u want AND a campaign mode or just one or the other
Answer: Yes it was just announced that Isla Nublar will be the sandbox mode and the stuff you earn in campaign mode will be available in sandbox.
Question: Will this be a physical copy or digital
Answer: I'm almost 100% sure it is a physical copy, under the product info section it says the Package Dimensions 7.1 x 5.3 x 0.6 inches; 3.2 ounces which is the dimensions of a playstation 4 disc case and the 3.2 oz. is the approximate weight of a game with the case. another reason I think it is a physical copy is because usually if it is a "digital copy" it would say (digital download) when purchasing. I hope this helps, check in the customer questions and answer area someone else might have answered a similar question it always helps to have more than one concurring answer

User questions & answers

Question: Does it have a disc
Answer: Yes. You have to download the disc to play the game.
Question: Is this compatible with ps
Answer: Yes. The ps5 will play ps4 disc and digital ps4 software for ps4 games
Question: Does it come with an instruction manuel? I bought it for my kids and there were no instructions that came with it
Answer: Pre-owned or like-new dont need to advertise factory sealing, and dont need to keep the papers in the box. Lego games typically come with advertisements and promotional season passes with each game, and dont come with instructions. Every lego game follows an action-adventure with sandbox world exploration formula, adjusting for if flight is possible in the world. It is supposed to be very intuitive and come with button prompts for gameplay, so you will be fine without one.
Question: Is this the USA version
Answer: This Game is a Region Free PAL Game Imported from the UK. Works on all PS4 consoles. You may need to create a free European PSN (Playstation Network) account for DLCs and extra contents and for online play

User questions & answers

Question: Is this the physical copy or the digital one
Answer: Physical. The digital copy releases this month.
Question: Why am i not being offered the usual amazon prime pre-order 20% discount for this
Answer: I asked amazing why since the PS4 version does have the discount and I want it for my Xbox to play in my living room. (First world issues) “Hello, My name is Shubhan. I'm from the Marketing Team here at Amazon.com. I'm following up on your recent contact to our Customer Service department. I understand your concern that you would like to know why 20% pre-order discount didn't apply to your order. Firstly, I would like to appreciate you for being such a valuable customer with us. Please allow me to explain, this promotion is a prime saving pre-order promotion. And this promotion is not applicable for all pre-order items. The reason you're seeing 20% pre-order discount on the item "Jurassic World Evolution - PlayStation 4 Edition" is because below the list price this item comes under Prime saving. There is a prime saving tag. However, coming to the Xbox version "Jurassic World Evolution - Xbox One Edition" there is no prime saving tag. This means this item doesn't come under prime saving. This is why, the 20% pre-order prime saving discount wasn’t applied to the order. Apart from this, if you still wish to discuss any other thing regarding this issue, feel free to contact us. We are glad to help you anytime. On a personal level, I highly appreciate your patience, cooperation and understanding in this matter. It is our privilege to have you as our valued customer & we want to make sure you are always taken care of. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We look forward to see you soon again. Best regards, Shubhan“ So basically they have no idea, but if you want the discount buy the PS4 version or be like me and wait till is a bargain bin game on the xbone.
Question: I have an 8 year old will he be able to play it? Are the controls to hard
Answer: My 8 year old loved it when we borrowed it for a few weeks. He would actually tell me what I needed to do in my game. He remembered what dino fossils were needed and where on the worldmap i needed to go to excavate. The places are real locations of real excavations so he leaned alot. He knew how to keep dinosaurs locked on on his account, but when I played, he used to trick me into overpopulating a cage (some Dino's love groups of 10+ while other Dino's are loners and get violent if they have company) or he would trick me into putting a meat eater with a herbivore just to see them fight and escape lol
Question: can u be a dinosaur
