Dino Crisis

Dino Crisis is a magnificent game, that all of you (over 15) should consider buying.

You play Regina, a special agent, who is sent in on Ibis island together with your team to find Dr. Kirk. Kirk was thought to be dead, but an agent infiltrated the research-facility some time ago, and saw that Kirk was still alive.

The game is from the same creators, who made the fabolous Resident Evil-series, and DC is clearly inspirated by their previous games+ Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg. The game is very exciting, scary (but not as scary as Resident Evil) and very fun to play. So go on! If you`ve completed Resident Evil 1 & 2, Dino Crisis is a perfect apitizer while you wait for Resident Evil 3! 9/10

The creators of the Resident Evil series gives a game that replaces zombies with dinosaurs. In this game, you are a special agent assigned to track down a scientist presumed dead at an island. Unfortunately, your mission will not be easy. You must dispatch a lot of dinosaurs. As the game progresses, more and more of these giants become very intelligent and will track you until they devour you.

If you're a fan of gory video games (take note of the warning as the game loads) like Resident Evil, then this one's for you. Great sound and detailed graphics compliments this game very well. Plus, the story doesn't let up. It's even better than the "Jurassic Park" video games. Try it out. My evaluation: 9 out of 10.

Dino Crisis improves on many aspects of Resident Evil, but it falls short in some other areas.

The main plus - Now you can aim AND walk at the same time. It's just...really cool. Another plus is the advanced mixing system, that allows you to create even more powerful medical equipment/weapons than before.

Not to mention that killing dinosaurs is just fun in general.

And the storyline isn't what you'd think at first glance, either. The dinos aren't created by some horrible genetic experiment horribly gone wrong, but I'll leave how it actually happens to the gamer.

Also, gone are pre-rendered backgrounds, the game is now completely in 3D ( Sort of like Code: Veronica ), and the graphics are just sensational.

Saving is also much easier. Instead of having to have enough Ink Ribbons ( Meaning you can only save so many times ), you only have to locate a save point, where you can save your game as many times as you'd like.

The FMVs are sensational, and the voiceovers are superb.

The problems lay in the gameplay though. You only get three weapons tops ( But you can upgrade them to compensate ), such as a Glock, a SPAS shotgun, and the HK Grenade Pistol.

Another downside is the item box system. There are now three different kinds of boxes you can store things in, and in order to open them, you need so many 'Plugs' to open them. But, as an added plus, each box will usually come ready-equipped with stuff already in it.

Also, the game has many keypads which require codes, which are either incredibly hard to find, or just darn-near impossible ( Thank God for FAQs ).

If these problems don't affect your gameplay, you'll get quite a lot of mileage out of this game. Otherwise, this will only be a one-ride game. Kudos to Capcom though, this was a really good idea.

**** out of Five.

Much scarier than the resident evil games, much more fun to play than the resident evil games and much better graphically than the resident evil games. It rips off Jurassic Park, an island military base is crawling with dinosaurs and team go in to find the man responsible, Dr Edwin Kirk. The team find him and several of their attempts to get off the island are thwarted by attacks from the T-rex. 9 out of 10.

i must have played this when i was about 7 or 8 I had saved up money to buy the playstation 1 and when i finally did have enough i brought it and received a number of games including resident evil 2.

however i wasn't allowed to play by my parents so in return they brought me a loveley little game called DINO CRISIS. Now when i saw the front cover i thought of this a s just a cool shoot em up dino game instead what i got was a horror survival game that would chill me to the bone.

got about 15 minutes into the game when i encountered one of the scary moments in the game, after that I couldn't play anymore it just scared me so much that i stopped playing it and left it till i was 12. by then i had a ps2 and was testing out ps1 games on it when i came across dino crisis and decided to dare play it.

i did and i realised that although scary at the time it was a great game and very enjoyable to play. the game has the kind of graphics you would expect from a playstation game they are better than resident evil 1 & 2 and are pretty much the same as resident evil 3. the lines in this game from the characters are cheesy at best and some parts of the game are predictable but overall this is a good game and should be played through at least once by yourself.

in short if you enjoyed the resident evil series then you'll love this.
