Jurassic Park:  The Game -- Available Now!  Released November 15, 2011!

The highly anticipated Jurassic Park:  The Game was released simultaneously on multiple video game playing platforms by Telltale Games on November 15, 2011!  Jurassic Park:  The Game is the first video game the company has released on multiple platforms.

The platforms you can play this game on are:  A digital download for Windows PC and MAC from Telltale's online store, Steam, and Direct2Drive;  as an app for IPAD; playable on the  Xbox 360, and PS 3 (available on the PS 3 in Europe soon). Episode 1 is available now as an app for IPAD for $6.99 at the IPAD store  and at the Itunes app store. The remaining 2 episodes, also priced at $6.99, will be available soon.

Jurassic Park:  The Game is the company's first retail launch as a third party publisher for Xbox 360.

Here is how Dan Connors, Telltale Games' Co-Founder and CEO  explains the strategy on launching Jurassic Park: The Game on multiple platforms.

"This holiday, millions of consumers will be able to experience this all new Jurassic Park adventure on their favorite video game platform. Selectively adding a retail component to complement our digital publishing  efforts is a milestone in the company's development since it ensures product availability in every major distribution channel."

What's in it for you?  If you recall the events and location of the movie, this game will take you back to Isla Nublar, which is the site of Jurassic Park.  You will experience the game in an interactive format with locations, dinosaurs and creatures from the movie.  Also, you will have different areas to explore and new prehistoric animals to survive.  Additionally, Jurassic Park :  The Game has fast paced action, exploration and puzzle solving.

I enjoyed  watching Jurassic Park with my family, and found the movie to be very entertaining, as well as realistic to the point where you can imagine vividly how life would be if dinosaurs still roamed the earth!  With today's current technology, I'm sure the graphics are even more realistic.  The interactive mode is like icing on a cake!

If not already doing so, I would highly recommend other video companies, continue on, or follow suit on multi-platform games being released simultaneously.  Making video games available regardless of what game console the video game players use, in my opinion, is an ideal marketing strategy!

I've added this game to those I would like to play and give you my review!
