Comments:

This game has quite a few annoying, yet not game-breaking, bugs. "a few" as in "damn, they happen a lot".
1.) The game crashed multiple times. Especially when it runs for a few hours.
2.) It has serious fps drops. Minor ones, if the weather changes.
Major ones (freezing for seconds) when resuming after you pause via the time manipulation.
The fps drops are noticable even early on when building a park.
As soon as you have a few hundred visitors these issues occur very frequently.
The longer you play the higher the possibility of a complete crash instead of a fps drop.
3.) Car AI is sometimes very stupid.
4.) Dino AI can glitch and cause the dino to be stuck in a fence.
5.) In the San Diego scenario you need to research new areas to expand your park.
If a dino escapes it can run into a locked part of the map where you can't reach it anymore.
If one of your units is tasked before to do something with the dino, the unit will follow the dino, though.
6.) In one scenario some dinos, that where dying of old age, glitched out and stood still, stuck in their "low health/panic" animation.
The vet unit was stuck beside them trying to heal them - with no effect. The game crashed minutes later
and after the restart of the latest savegame I was greeted with the two dinos already dead.
The game just didn't load the proper animation and event before the crash.

It is playable and the 70+ launch dinos are all in there, but you will run into these issues eventually with the vanilla.
