*Book SPOILER* A strange inconsistency

Didn't they blow up Isla Nublar as they were escaping from the island? How can we be running around it if they blew it up?

I'm only on Episode 3 of the game.

    Finish the game and get back to us.
    It's going to get blown up, it just hasn't happened yet. Our intrepid heroes have to get off the island BEFORE it gets blown up.

    It may be worthy to note as well that the game is based more on the world that the movies created "movie canon" and not so much the one the book did "book canon" ... there are plenty of things changed in the movie too... Like Hammond surviving, Tim and Lex's ages and personalities somewhat changed.. There are many other things different too.

    The game is based on the movies, not the books. Although the whole idea of bombing the island clearly came from the book, we can assume it just happened later in the "movieverse."

    Muldoon was a big difference as well.

    Speaking of inconsistencies, wasn't that Barbasol can meant to protect the DNA only for mere hours? I'm not sure if I counted correctly, but I assume that there was an entire day more than that can would have lasted.

    I believe Miles added more coolant or something to it after he opened it up to check it. Definitely heard a hissing sound or something like.

    Nima also said not to shake the can but come on those embryos must have been destroyed long before they reached the dock, considering all the action Billy and Nima went through.

    He used a CO2 canister to "recharge" the coolant. Even so, there was supposed to be enough coolant inside for 36 hours I believe.

    Imagine the irony if Nima
    sacrificed Jess to get the can
    , then got back to the mainland just to hear a brusk "that stuff is worth shit since yesterday, you can keep it". That would've been a different kind of justice than what TTG did in the actual game.

    36 Hours in both the Novel and Movie universe.

    Wonder what kind of bomb was used? I mean couldn't a few on the eggs survive? They probably were laid and buried a little under some foliage and brush or underground to protect them.

    Which would finally help explain how the guys in the boat at the begining of Jurassic park 3 died.

    Miles probably knew he had a few hours to get the can someplace cold... but Nima and Billy didn't... It probably went bad when they stayed the night in the maintenance bunker... In the end Billy went after the worthless can for nothing and became rex chow for it.... Karma.

    Actually, it didn't matter if the can survived or not. The money was on the boat waiting for them. lol

    No it didn't, the path to the ocean was the path that Nima, Gerry and Jess took on the way out. Gerry didn't shoot the harpoon at that door only to save the group but to at the same time seal the only entrance out so the Mosasaur couldn't be let out. The harpoon wouldn't have killed the Mosasur anyways so it was better spent on the door.

    No. He used a CO2 canister to essentially refill the coolant. So we can assume another 36 hours. That's a day and a half after that. I think that it was about mid-day when they found the boat, and we can also assume that there would've been a cooling unit on the boat.

    Remember, Dodgson told Nedry, "There's enough coolant inside for 36 hours." That's 36 hours from when he put the embryos in, adding onto that for the CO2 canister Miles used. Embryos weren't ruined.

    even if it survived a possible air strike... the poor thing would have starved to death.
