I think this is another under rated Borg gem. I think the flow is one of his best. The shots are so satisfying to hit and the ramps are just in the sweet spots.
The snagger toy can be probematic / flow breaking, but still cool.
I really love the T-rex in the egg.
The art package is top class and the sound is solid.
I would be happy to drop a pound into this anywhere i see it.

Not recommended for the home collector. The main issue I have with the game is that it is all time based repetitive shots. Each mode is shoot the same shot so many times in a set amount of time. The two toys on the playfield fit the theme well however the ball grabber slows the game down and takes away from the experience. This is the Sega back box that is curved. I did not personally like the look of the machine, however some do. Fun game to walk up to and play, not as enjoyable over the long haul.

Jurassic Park: Lost World could have been soooooo gooooood. But here we are with this dissapointment of a pinball game.

The Pros:
A solid layout. That's because it's nearly identical to AFM without the saucer scoop/wall. Just add another ramp/lane instead and put a big egg on top of the scoop. Brilliant! Umm, no. But hey, if you're going to steal, steal from the best! The artwork on the PF looks good and I like the curve on the back box.

The Cons:
This is why you have world class players write the rules and program your games. Really. Give this game to Lyman Sheats or Keith Johnson and see what brilliance they can come up with. The DE team is not nearly as talented or as capable as the Bally/Williams team and this game is a prime example of why DE games are a distant second to the brain trust that was in the Williams stable. The game's sound is not impressve at all. The BG art is muddy. The gameplay itself is unbalanced, lackluster and the wiz mode is a huge letdown. Adding another multiball into the rulesheet, just because you can, does not make a better quality game.

The Takeaway:
DE's appropriation of TAF with the first JP game is the way to go by a longshot. Strictly for the fans of the movie and the kiddies who think dinosaurs are cool.

I may be in the minority, but I preferred this to the original JP. I felt this one was a lot faster and I personally was more impressed with the snagger tool of this game over the T-Rex toy from the original. This game is a fun one with some nice colors to it. Game play is fast and fun.

I've never really liked this game, ever since I was little. It's easy, boring and just unappealing to me. The first JP is where it's at if you're looking for this kind of theme.

I really hoped to like this game, however it just doesn't get it done for me.
Could of been very good, but I would overall rate this as okay, definitely would not own it.
It just doesn't stack up with other pins of its time.
HOWEVER my wife did enjoy it, because it is a very nice beginner pin in my opinion!

I personally enjoyed this game, the shaker adds a ton of fun to the multiball and T-Rex sounds during the game play. The snager is a little slow, but the egg feature and magnet is fun. I enjoy to open playfield and rule set. JPLW is a true shooters games.

It's actually much deeper in rule set than I realized at first. Too bad the snagger leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. The snagger is awesome the first time...cool the second time...then "jesus hurry the F#$# up", after that.

The game would be smoking without the "time out" a player suffers when making a ball lock.

Yes the Data East Jurassic Park is a better game. And yes this game is pretty easy, but it's still fun. I don't understand why this game gets no love. John Borg is a genius and did a good job with the design and mechanics. The magnet for the jeep is cool, the multiball is a lot of fun, the skill shot is funny, the video mode is funny, and I don't see what is not to like. It's not the best game ever, but just think of this game on its own, when not compared to the other Jurassic park game, this game is really enjoyable and I would like to own it myself.

"Do you know what world you've come to?" I do. Its a mediocre one that pinheads will pass on. Lost World gets everything wrong, which Data East's Jurrasic Park got right. Playfield layout is barren, with the only meaningful shots being the GPS ramps that can be hit back to back ala Terminator 2. Toys are sorta cool (jeep & dino egg) but do not hold a candle to the incredible T-rex from the first JP. Artwork is ok. Sounds are strangely worse than the first JP & while the soundtrack is well done, it isn't as memorable. Jeff Goldblum impersonator does a convincing job. JP's smart missile feature returns with limited implementation. Limited ruleset means this pin will get old fast. Nothing really exciting about this pinball (albeit slightly amusing DMD skill shot, where your T-rex walks all over some little humans). Stay away from Lost World & look for the superior Data East Jurrasic Park.
