High concept ideas are a dime a dozen in the entertainment industry, but when they hit the right nerve, can earn the masterminds untold wealth. The best ideas are those that cross a prevalent component of popular culture with an appealing twist. For example, the film Star Wars is a 'mythic western in outer space.' The inspiration behind DreamWorks Interactive's Chaos Island is, 'Let's cross Command and Conquer with Jurassic Park.' While the concept sounds promising on the surface, the actual execution fails to offer the depth real-time strategy fans have come to expect.

Licensing popular films and television shows is a way of squeezing additional profit from a franchise. Star Wars has earned more money from licensing royalties than box office receipts, and the same can be said for Steven Spielberg's E.T. When done right, a game license can actually expand the universe created in a film or television show, as is the case with the brilliant Dark Forces series from LucasArts. Unfortunately, this is the exception to the rule. Generally, games based on films are slabbed out with little or no concern for quality; the name of the game is capitalization. Anyone out there remember the infamous Atari 2600 version of E.T.? While Chaos Island is not quite as dismal, I can't imagine anyone, especially devoted real-time strategy gamers, giving this title more than a quick, cursory glance before running the uninstall program and marching it back to the store, receipt firmly in hand.

The story will be familiar to anyone who has seen the movie The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Players control a team of gatherers and scientists stuck on Isla Nublar, an island packed with prehistoric animals. The ultimate goals are survival and escape, meaning players will need to explore the island, set up camp, and organize the tools and strategies needed to survive among the dinosaurs. The title provides some conceptual leeway by assuming the scientists can breed full grown dinosaurs which can then be controlled. Perhaps that's a bit of a stretch, but it is necessary within the scope of the story and gameplay. (The best part of the game involves building an army of Tyrannosaurus Rexes and Raptors.)

At the beginning of each mission, the player must gather supplies to build the structures necessary for survival. The supplies are represented by yellow boxes; send someone to pick them up, return them to base, and whammo, you're in business. Gathering supplies gives you a score that all team recruitments and activities, such as building structures and making repairs, are based on. Run out of points, and you run out of luck. The base camp is necessary for gathering eggs and supplies, and the tool shed is necessary for making personnel upgrades. More sophisticated structures, such as a science lab, play critical roles later in the game. Because the skills of the various dinosaurs are essential for solving many of the game's puzzles and tactical dilemmas, players must also gather dinosaur eggs and hatch them in artificial nests.

As the game progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult. Hunters, who also inhabit the island, grow more dangerous. The dinosaurs become tougher to avoid and kill, and attack in greater numbers. Some explorers are better marksmen than others, some run faster, and others have better vision, so it is important to know each character's skill level before sending him or her into battle -- or the unknown. These characteristics can be upgraded; if the player has the supply points, team members can be given better vision, greater defensive strength, more carrying capacity, and faster speed. The two most important skills to build first are speed and carrying capacity. Speed will enable inexperienced team members to run past the game's early enemies, and increasing their carrying capacity means players won't be forced to make multiple trips to gather supplies and eggs. Physical barriers, such as wide bodies of water or high hills, limit the team's ability to move about, so their movements must be planned to follow trails and low-lying terrain. The locations of structures must also be carefully planned; build a base camp near the trails of hunters and you are begging for trouble. In this sense, the game provides a very basic level of strategy that can help ease new gamers into the genre.

Accompanying the game's human characters are celebrity voices, including those of Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Vince Vahn, Vanessa Lee Chester, Richard Schiff and Richard Attenborough. To be honest, I'm surprised some of these actors are associated with such a low-grade product. Perhaps it was part of their contract for doing the film.

The Lost World: A New Genre

The success of Warcraft and Command & Conquer created a storm of successors and pretenders, all wanting to catch a share of the newly found popularity of real-time strategy games. Dreamworks, the Hollywood venture featuring Steven Spielberg, seeks to cash in on this phenomenon with a new title: Chaos Island: The Lost World. Instead of competing in the ultra-competitive market of 'adult' games, Dreamworks Interactive targeted this game squarely at the children's arena. Yes, a real-time strategy game for kids.

Dinos on the Loose

Chaos Island gives the player control of a group of scientists who must defend an island and their research from evil hunters and dangerous dinosaurs. If you've seen the movie, you know the story. The game mimics the storyline of the movie in many ways, but does not follow the movie ad nauseum. Instead, key elements of the movie are integrated as mission goals in the game, striking a good balance between familiar plot lines and original solutions. By assembling a team from the cast of the movie, the player attempts to save the dinosaurs and keep from becoming 'Dino Vittles.'

Repeat Transmission, Over

The cut scenes are narrated by the voice of Jeff Goldblum and other actors from the movie. By using the real voices of the movie characters the game maintains credibility and adds infinitely to the polished feel of the game. I gather that the union rate for speaking is much less than the rate for acting and speaking, no live actors are used - instead, a picture of each character is placed on the screen with their voice. By placing 'static interference' in the image, it appears that the satellite transmission is garbling the video, and one barely notices that the image is just a still photo. A nice effect.

Team Leader

The player, as team leader, must select other members of the game to complete the mission. Each player possesses different strengths and weaknesses in categories such as: speed, sight, carrying capacity, and offense. For instance: if you think you need a quick runner for a particular mission, take Sarah. Some missions allow you to select more than one character or a generic 'research student' with minimal strengths.

The players can build bases using supplies found on the map, often stealing enemy supplies air-lifted to the enemy hunters. Bases provide tents (for sleeping off the effects of a gun shot), or for hatching dinosaur eggs. By building an egg hatchery, the player can add friendly dinosaurs to their team. Dinos make great friends in a battle.

Mission: No Violence Required

As the game is targeted at youngsters, the missions rarely involve killing the enemy. The most violent objective I found was the destruction of enemy jeeps (I assume these jeeps were unoccupied - ha ha). Most objectives reward good behavior such as rescuing eggs, freeing dinosaurs, and returning the baby T-Rex to his mommy. Don't let the non-violent objectives fool you, the objectives are sometimes difficult to achieve. Playing on the 'Hard' setting, I replayed the 7th mission 5 times before completing it successfully. On an even kinder note, when the players on your team are 'killed,' no blood is shed. Instead, a yellow '+' sign takes their place as they simply exit the game. The character says something about 'Sarah's wounded' or 'I'm outa here' instead of groaning in agony while your insides are being ripped out by a raptor. They handled this rather nicely and avoided the death subject altogether.

Gameplay

I enjoyed the game and believe the target audience will enjoy the game as well. My only reservation is the narrow target audience. Children ages 8-12 will no doubt enjoy the game if they can master the complexities of a real-time strategy game, and I'm certain they can. It doesn't play as a 'dumbed down' Command & Conquer , but plays rather well given the limitations of the audience.

On the downside, the game comes with only 12 missions and these are easily completed on the 'easy' setting. Without a 'random game generator' to keep the game interesting, the lifespan of the game is rather limited. I would encourage players to play at a skill setting of 'Hard' to spread out the life of the game. The only downside: if a child cannot complete a certain level on the 'Hard' setting, there is no way to make the game 'Easy' without starting back at scenario 1. Most missions are easily completed with persistence and a little bit of thought. Still, there is one scenario that almost requires the sacrifice of a research assistant to complete the mission - a concept that may be difficult for a child to recognize.

Success

Yes, the game gets the prize. It breaks new ground and rewards smart children. We should expect good things from Dreamworks Interactive in the future.
