Jurassic World™ vs Jurassic World Alive

Jurassic World™ 4.8★ · Free + IAP 70
Winner Jurassic World™

Jurassic World™ has a slight edge due to its more consistent gameplay experience and better perceived value, despite both games struggling with similar issues like bugs and pay-to-win mechanics.

Both Jurassic World™ and Jurassic World Alive offer engaging dinosaur collection and battle gameplay, but both are plagued by frequent bugs, crashes, and a strong 'pay-to-win' sentiment among users.

  1. [R4] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Best game ever: But I have a request.I made my own Jurassic World dinosaur and I would like you to put it in the game. It is called a Mutoraptor and is made when you reach level 150.Then you take your indoraptor and scorpios Rex gen 2 and fuse them together. The Mutoraptor is a little bigger than the indoraptor and is albino white with red eyes and uneven teeth. It also has small scars and at leve
  2. [R5] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Amazing game as in grinding and enjoyability: This game has always been and still is one of my favorite games to play. The combat is not too complex. It is fairly balanced, and there is so much to grind for daily missions and super frequent new challenges as in battles make it so the game almost never gets boring with new things to unlock all the time. I recommend to anybody that loves Jurassic Wo
  3. [R12] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Good but bad: I saw a video on YouTube about jw the game. And saw the d.rex so I checked for it I could not find it so I tried updating the game but all it said was open disappointing but the upside is that the models are great and the updates are AMAZING good but bad
  4. [R14] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US This game has a lot of fun dinosaurs try to unlock the legendarys and fight then you be perfect: 1 million stars
  5. [R1] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Constant Glitches and Accidental Purchases: I’ve had enough with Jurassic World: The Game. This app has far too many glitches. During a battle, I received an error message that wasn’t my fault, yet I still had to wait 7 hours to use my dinosaurs again or spend 117 cash to recover them. The hatchery is also way too sensitive. I’ve accidentally spent over 1,000 cash to speed up my Megalodon because
  6. [R3] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US The games fun but…: But it logs me out all the time!!! If there isnt a fix im gonna delete it. I played the game on august 30.
  7. [R6] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Fare: It’s ok story’s fun but the battle arena is ridiculously hard even with full level Dinosaurs
  8. [R13] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US LOST ALL MY STUFF AND WENT FROM LIKE LVL 52 BACK TO LVL 32: i bought vip like 2 years ago i had to cancel it cus money got tight and i stopped playing it and when i went to play it again all my progress was like gone and my account got reset to lvl 32 I just want my dino’s back 😢😢
  9. [R21] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Love the game but it needs work: I love this game, I’d love to see more cenozic era and marine era creatures. I’d love to see tournaments for those classes as well, THE BUGS NEED WORK, CRASHING, FREEZING, FRAME DROP. All NEEDS SERIOUS WORK
  10. [R27] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Bruh: I was so good at this game but I deleted it and when I downloaded it back I lossed my account which I grind so hard and had limited dinosaurs and all of it is gone so can you put a sign in in case someone that deleted the game does not have to worry about losing their stuff.
  11. [R9] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Ads don’t work: I can’t run an add for a reward, they either aren’t available or when the ad finishes it freezes and I have to restart the app. And I don’t get my reward.
  12. [R10] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Predatory ads: You need to watch ads to progress but the close out x never appears for a lot of them.
  13. [R16] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US From my experience: This game is horrible it has way too much paid to win features and I lost my other account too so and the support is horrible
  14. [R17] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Great game: Great game and its fun but half of it is pay to win
  15. [R88] Jurassic World Alive 1/5 · US Support is nonexistent: If you have any actual issues, just don’t even bother. Support is the worst I’ve ever seen
  16. [R40] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Pay to win: It’s just sad.
  17. [R52] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Pay to play: Game is so pay to play based I’ve had this game for years and barely made a dent in all the dinosaurs, and the only way to get them is to pay for it. Also it makes you wait for practically everything and once you get better Dino’s you can only use them once per 24 hours. Horrible game needs to make things more attainable and not be such a money grab.
  18. [R61] Jurassic World Alive 1/5 · US Used to be amazing, turned to ruins: When I was young, I used to play this game all the time I recently tried to come back to it, and as I was playing, I’ve kind of just realized that everything is ruined. The combat is way more complex in a bad way not a Good Way, the panthera tiger creatures in a whole have ruined the combat and them just being completely unfair to face and complicated to fight.
  19. [R49] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Constant crashing: The game consistently crashes every time that I enter
  20. [R28] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Good game: Terrible I deleted it for storage now I download it and it didn’t save my progress
  21. [R48] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · GB Lost my game progress: I’ve been playing this game for a while and when i’ve decided to join back all my progress has gone!!! Please help me fix this. It won’t let me log out because of the game centre.
