Plot

After a training mission, the player is shown a cutscene of a typhoon raging across Jurassic Park, a dinosaur theme park on the fictional island of Isla Sorna. Power to the island and its electrified fences is cut off from the storm, allowing the dinosaurs to escape. The player is briefed that all the dinosaurs must be captured «before they destroy one another». The player controls a Dino Defender, a person inside a bio-mechanical suit. The character first lands on a beach with a few Compsognathus on it. Soon after, the character runs into some Velociraptors at a small cliff. The character advances and then must swim while avoiding jellyfish and poisonous purple plants. Jurassic Park 3 Dino Defender Free Download.

The character advances to an underwater cavern, where raptors and stegosaurs are encountered and must be captured or avoided. The character then discovers a steep ravine and is knocked over a cliff by a Pteranodon. The character climbs the cliff, jumping over many gaps while avoiding pterosaurs. At the top of the cliff, the character escapes baby pteranodons and a Tyrannosaurus rex. The T. rex then chases the character and falls down a pit after it crosses an unstable bridge, but survives. The character goes into the jungle and avoids additional dinosaurs, before going down a waterfall.

The character avoids a T. rex and discovers a construction elevator. A Spinosaurus arrives and the character escapes on vines. The T. rex and Spinosaurus face off, with the Spinosaurus fleeing. The character moves from the Tyrannosaurus pen to underground tunnels, where more Velociraptors must be captured. The character escapes to the visitor center and encounters the Spinosaurus. The character activates flip switches which cause the visitor center's dinosaur skeletons to crush the Spinosaurus. After leaving the visitor center, multiple helicopters fly off with the dinosaurs the character had tranquilized. Jurassic Park 3 Dino Defender Free Download PC Game.

Gameplay

The six levels of Dino Defender consist of fast-paced quick thinking challenges. The player must move around obstacles and find supply boxes, switch on circuit breakers and avoid dinosaurs. Helicopters drop supply boxes onto the island, which contain gear such as a net, a tranquilizer or a distractor flare which can be used to capture or distract dinosaurs. «Call boxes» can be used to lure dinosaurs and various other weapons to tranquilize them. «Circuit Breakers» scattered around the island can be switched on to activate the island's electricity. To collect gear to capture/tranquilize a certain dinosaur, the player must find a 'supply box' which contains a certain number of both 'call boxes', which are small speakers that play a dinosaur call, causing dinosaurs of that species to investigate.

At some points in the game, the player will have to swim underwater. When a player is underwater, an «air» gauge appears, which slowly decreases. The player will die if the gauge runs out of air. Upon completion of the game, the player is rewarded with printable trading cards showing the dinosaurs the player has captured. Trading cards for each dinosaur are only rewarded after all the dinosaurs belonging to a particular species have been captured.
