and the use of the 3-D perspective. Jonathan Davies of Super Play praised its problem-solving tasks and bird's-eye perspective, but criticized the game for being "a bit easy" and for not incorporating the film's musical score. GamePro was most pleased with the game's varying perspectives and the way dinosaurs can catch players off-guard, especially when their view is limited in first-person perspective. They were also impressed by the detailed graphics and the stereo sound's accurate reflection of the position of the dinosaur which is making noise, and though they said the lack of a save feature is a serious concern due to the massive size of the game world, they added that the game would hold the player's interest through the multi-hour play session required to complete it. SNES Force praised its "Huge playing area," and its many missions. Nintendo Power praised the game for "some game play elements that incorporate aspects of the hit movie," but also wrote, "The interior areas present few puzzles and it is easy to get lost in the outer areas." Edge found the game to be lacking excitement, writing that a large portion of time is spent "aimlessly wandering around and avoiding the dinosaurs – very little help is given in which direction you should be going and exactly what you should be doing". Nevertheless, the magazine concluded that "given the quality of most film tie-ins, Jurassic Park is one of the better licences. With slightly improved game design it could have been the best." Bob Strauss of Entertainment Weekly called the game "truly innovative". Roy Bassave of Knight-Ridder News Service found it superior to the Sega CD version of Jurassic Park. By January 1995, Jurassic Park had spent a non-consecutive period of 12 months on Nintendo Power'''s list of the top 20 SNES games. Game Informer'' declared the Genesis version of the game somewhat superior to the SNES version in a 2012 comparison of the two games. In 2014, IGN included the game on its list of the most difficult games, citing various reasons that included the limited lives, the large game world, the scattered raptor eggs and key cards, and the lack of a save feature.
