Along your prompted path (the half-constructed monorail system), you might run into one or two brachiosaurs or a stegosaur on occasion. What about the dinosaurs, which, aside from the torturous physics, are this game's other claim to fame? There are hardly any, and the ones you see are few and far between. Just more jungle, with nothing to really hold your attention. And if you do bother to wander around the levels, you'll find much of nothing. Although, if Dreamworks sped up the running to a bearable gait, it would simply take less time to figure out the game's true nature: It is nothing but an uneventful and needless hike through a barren landscape. Because the levels are expansive jungles and valleys, walking from one area to the next will take way too much time. Exploration is a huge bother because you run so damn slow in this game. There are too many tedious tasks, and there aren't any fun things to do. The action in the game is no less aggravating. In many instances, you will wish that Dreamworks had abstracted portions of the game's physics. Now multiply that by the ridiculous number of box-stacking puzzles, and you arrive at hours of tedious box pushing and pulling. Pretty soon, a puzzle that should only take half a minute has absorbed five minutes of your time. If you do end up inadvertently messing up your puzzle in progress, you will have to spend even more time rearranging all the boxes. Even the most basic puzzles, such as stacking boxes to get from low to high ground, take more than a fair share of minutes to complete, as you have to be careful not to touch a box the wrong way lest you topple your carefully constructed box staircase. Everything is governed meticulously by the physics engine, and that complicates even the simplest puzzles needlessly. But the designers went overboard with the physics. Knock a barrel over and it will roll and tumble according to the direction and strength of your push. Trespasser boasts a realistic and powerful physics-based engine. Thus begins your journey through eight levels of jungle and the occasional dinosaur. Your character, Anne, now has to roam across the island looking for some way of getting off the island or at least contacting some help. The basic premise is that you are a young woman whose plane has crashed on Site B, the second island from Jurassic Park, where dinosaurs still roam free. It is monotonous and tedious to the point of nausea. I don't want to sound mean-spirited, but all gamers should know that Trespasser is a frustrating game, filled with boring gameplay and annoying bugs.
Of all the games I have played, this is the one I am most adamant about never wanting to play again.
Of all the games I have ever reviewed, this one has been the most disappointing. Trespasser is the most frustrating game I have ever played.
