Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis suffers this very fate. Games like these are a dime a dozen on the PC, but they don't come along often on consoles because they just don't translate well onto a control pad. Navigating the menus can be just as problematic.

Instead, you have to manually move your field of vision around which can be very cumbersome the larger your park gets. There's no option that lets you zoom out and see the entire park to quickly access certain parts. It allows you to zoom up close to dinosaurs, which provides an inspiring view, but it's not completely functional for overseeing a theme park. All of the different aspects work together well and provide a worthwhile experience, although there are some flaws, most notably the camera. Along with the standard park building mode and the sufficient tutorial, there's also a mission mode where subduing angry dinosaurs through a first-person mode is a common staple. Gamers not only design and build their park, but will also be in charge of a multitude of tasks, from overseeing day-to-day park operations to more exotic tasks such as fossil expeditions and DNA research. The main objective is the build a successful theme park, but instead of roller coasters as the main attraction, dinosaurs are on display. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis takes a spin on the theme park simulation genre, popularized by the Roller Coaster Tycoon series, by adding elements from similar games.
