LEGO Jurassic World Game features Canadian Dino Hunters

The latest LEGO Jurassic World game has launched while the highly anticipated summer blockbuster movie is blowing us away in the theatres. The videogame (available for XboxOne, Xbox360, PS4, Playstation, WiiU, Nintendo 3DS, PSVITA) is the first where players are able to experience all four Jurassic films in LEGO settings.

The adventure game includes scenes from the films offering players the ability to play and explore the lands of Isla Nublar and Isla Soma. There are 20 dinosaurs to play with including Triceratops, Raptor and T.Rex. Within the game you'll also be able to create completely original dinosaurs.

What's even cooler? The ability to unlock characters who represent actual Canadian Palaeontologists. Yes! Canadian!

Dave Evans of the Royal Ontario Musem is one of the characters (and yes, apparently he really does plaid shirts like his LEGO character!). Recently, when Evans asked the public to help nickname a new species of Ceratopsian dinosaur (think Triceratops) the popular choice was "Cornelius". Just before Jurassic World's release, Evans made headlines with new research indicating that dinosaurs differed widely between being feathred and instead having a range of scales. 

In the game you can unlock the special Canadina characters in the "Visitor's Centre" and use this for Dave
