No cheating, no video problem, no audio problem. Thoroughly enjoyed your comments. <3 your accent 
Level 1
very nice run through. makes difficult jumps with ease. of course, this IS the first level.
Level 2
Dammit, those raptors need to die. hit by a transformer's electricity...kinda iffy, considering this is level 2. Not more than 1 second lost.
Level 3
Did you have to kill the 2nd dilophosaurus? seems he may have gotten in the way of climbing the ladder, but he also would have been offscreen... 1 second wasted max.
Level 4
VERY nice boat level. This was always a pain in the ass, but you dominated it well.
Level 5
Ugh. sewers. Nice brachiosaurus timing for the first jump. Always loves the velociraptor eating that dilophosaurus :3
Level 6
wow. Nice jumps/falls... very well planned out. Why, though, did you wait a bit before that big fall?
Level 7
Christ, I didn't get level 6's comments done before level 7 was completed. A good "no bullshit, point a-b" run of this god-foresaken level.
Level 8
The raptors figured out how to open doors before my friend and I could
Liked the T-rex... skip, for lack of a better term. Just kinda jumped right past him.
Level 9
Uhm, kinda more of an extension of 8. Just running more to the right.
Level 10
ditto. I hated that raptor door guy.
Level 11
Shit, he made that last "fight" look easy.
Made me laugh, made me cry, made me wish I could play this game again. Hellz yeah, son!

First thing first:
There are no death in this run;
there are no signs of cheating; and
there are no serious problem with video/audio quality.
The run, while not perfect, holds up to SDA standard. The runner had exploited glitches in the game to shorten his time. As far as I know, the runner had utilized the shortest route possible, including routes only possible through glitch. The runner's written comment fully explained any doubt I had about possible slowdown, and his audio comment are decent/good. Overall, I would recommend anyone who's played this game to see the run.

Jurassic Park notes
The PAL-slowness is distracting, but that's just a personal thing since I spent all
my middle school years playing this game repeatedly and I remember it being faster.
So the run is well-executed and well-planned out. The runner has done a good job of
planning what weapon to use and does a good job of switching ahead of time without
getting confused.
Any spots I wondered about the motive for certain aspects (shooting dinosaurs that
didn't appear to be in his way, some parts of the river, etc) were explained in the
comments.
The start of the sewer level was outstanding. I had no idea that was possible. Too
bad about the crate, but it's not so bad in the big picture.
Canyon is excellent. I especially like how well-researched it was, which I didn't
realize completely until I read the comments. I like to see this kind of effort put
into a "first" run of a game. Way not to be lazy!
Volcano has an outstanding risk vs. reward demonstration. Failure is risked by a
very tough glitch, and the reward is a fast exit that nobody would have known about
anyway had the runner gone through the level normally. Another thing I like seeing.
The end of the comments: Accounting numbers! I love accountancy! I am being
serious! And 20+ hours isn't a bad amount at all for a run of this length, in fact
it's very respectable.
This is a very lucky run in places, but it doesn't appear to be cheated and I
watched the video vs. music pretty closely.
I vote pass.
