Fantastic game. The T-Rex eating the ball and then placing it on the wireform is a great toy. It can be finicky to get working properly, but is a very memorable pinball moment. I also like the raptor pit on the premium/LE. The Jeep is an unusual and neat toy. Game plays fast and some of the shots (especially on the right side) are tight. However, I don't feel the game is too punishing. Guardians of the Galaxy also had tight shots, but in a frustrating way. The JP shots felt better to me in comparison.
The art, sound and videos are well done, but are missing a lot of the movie assets. I would have preferred more connection to the movie, although some user made codes are available to help incorporate movie video/sound. I think the art packages on all three models are fine. The LE cabinet and backglass are arguably the best. The green armor goes great with the theme.
Code is deep and well done. This is another game I'll never see the end of, but that's okay. It's a great game and deserving of a spot among the highest rated pinball machines. Inevitably, JP is pitted against Godzilla. I owned both, and give Godzilla the slight edge in "fun factor" but would be very happy to own JP again.

This game is 2nd on pinside for a reason, believe the hype! The T-Rex mech is absolutely amazing. The gameplay is equally impressive, featuring challenging shots, exciting modes, and jaw-dropping animations that bring the prehistoric creatures to life right before your eyes. This is a must have for your collection.

Love it, almost a must own for any collection. All the shots are great and JP has the best skill shot combo. I never get tired of this game.
Code, call outs and story are all top notch. Theme is one of the most recognizable in pinball. Buy one!!

I’ve been in the hobby since 2015. This review is for the 30th version of the game. It is simply sterns best machine ever. Actually has a toy, one of the best along with amazing layout, rule set and it’s Elwin’s finest. IMO this is the best pinball machine of all time as well. I am a HUGE Jurassic Park fan so this combo is a 10/10.

Keith Elwin's masterpiece. Godzilla is fantastic, Maiden is a blast, but JP is pretty much perfection.
I've never rated a game a perfect 10, but going through each category, I just couldn't find anything to take a point away from.
I've owned the game since launch, and just finally got to Escape Nublar this week. I figured it was an appropriate time to rate it.
For me, this game has it all. The shots are super satisfying, a good balance of flow and challenge. The code is deep yet clear, and there is a sense of adventure that is reminiscent for me of LOTR (another personal favorite).
The only area I could find fault with is Toys & Gimmicks, because I've owned two JPs, and the T-Rex was finnicky on both. But the toy is still amazing, and the truck and Raptor pen are cool, so to me, it still deserved 5/5.
If there's such thing as a perfect pinball machine, iny opinion, this is it!

The game is cool. Although I played it only once, it was cool. I liked the spinning propeller that spins after the ball is launched.

I've owned this game for about 2 months and man o man am I glad I bought it. For a person who has been playing for just a couple of years the I found this a fairly intimidating machine at first. That's just due to the fact that the shots are so unique and flow so well it takes some time to "groove" them in. Its just wicked fast and buttery smooth at the same time.
The T-rex multiball is one of the best moments in pinball...and its easily accessible to the novice player. The spinners shot and combos off the upper flipper are just amazing. I know many folks scored it lower because the callouts are not the original actors...honestly...I didn't miss that at all. The callouts are some of the best ever and the newer version of the code that came with the 30th anniversary are even funnier and more engaging. The code is DEEP, Co-Op, Team Play and amazing modes throughout. So much to do and so many achievements and goals...this one is bolted to the floor.
PS: I still suck at this game...but its also one of the most fun pins I have ever played. I cannot stop playing it.

Theme, layout , code, uniqueness in shots? All are all A+
Music and callouts aren’t the best …however? helped out greatly by alternate movie/sound packages by the pinside community!!
A true classic. One of the best pinball machines of all time!

Art is so so.
Call outs and screem presentation work very well for a generic dino theme, which it is, consider the almost total lack of movie assets.
That said, besides the clunky watch tower shoot, it shoots hard, but great.
The ruleset i would say, is second to none.
The t-rex is fun, the pit doesn't matter, so from a players perspective the pro is fine.
I consider this one of the greatest ever made and have a hard time seeing it ever leave a five pin collection.

Great game and better now that I have an alternate custom code with scenes and music and callouts from the movie. Great amounts of different smooth shots, great interactions multiple ways with T Rex, good flow, rules sometimes difficult.

I like this game as much as the others I have played but I do think it is the weakest of the Art Packages. Top 5 game all day , everyday.
