Jurassic Park by George Maciver

Jurassic Park

Lara is visiting Site C, a previously unknown dinosaur genetic testing and breeding facility. During the explorations of the jungles surrounding the facility, a strange electric blue stone was unearthed near to the gates of a lost Temple. Lara is intrigued by the stone and the Temple, and has arrived as part of an archeological team to examine the stone. However, before their work can begin, there is a disaster. The dinosaurs are loosed, and Site C has become a hunting ground . . .

Obviously I'm not going to write a report on my own level, so here is one of my favourites, written by Nicky (and yes, this is a VERY challenging level!):

One of the best LATM levels and the best among the best of them a brilliant piece of work that touches perfection and surely sets very high standards to the level editing business and gaming in general. The stunning texturing and lighting effects along with the excellent audio selections create a fast-paced and breathtaking high-class adventure which may be tough and very requiring but it totally absorbs you and literally puts you in Lara's shoes making you think as if you were her and actually guiding you through even when there are no hints of what to do next.

The level starts off with the most amazing flyby accompanied by an imposing music piece and as soon as you see Lara on the screen you know there is some fascinating adventure going to take place. There are lots of wicked but genial timed events, deadly flames threatening you at the most inconvenient places, burners on timers that you have to pass intact - yet all these puzzles are so challenging and brilliant you almost don't feel frustrated at all when trying and retrying to make it on time and alive. They are set up in such a way that challenge you to work the best you can do so as to succeed and keep your brain constantly working and calculating your next moves.

The architecture of the places is impressive and precise in both parts - outstanding examples are the underwater cave you swim into then have to work your way onto some high ledges above the water in the 1st part and the vast warehouse and the beautiful jungle which also includes a stunning temple area in the 2nd part.

There is an intense feeling of suspense and mystery as you catch glimpses of doors on your way and wonder where the key or switch that opens them is. Nothing is wasted - there's a good reason to visit every corner and every side street and to enter every crawlspace you spot as you move on. A real gem. Thank you George.
