This game is made by the same survival horror masters who brought us Resident Evil, and while the gameplay isn't all that different, it just fails to captivate you in the same way that the zombie franchise did. I think my main problem with it is the fact that there isn't really an interesting back story. Resident Evil's biggest strength is the fact that an amazing story surrounds the events that a... read more

An abandoned research complex on a remote jungle island, a team of special forces operatives, a horde of vicious velociraptors, and one big, mean Tyrannosaurus rex constitute the setting and cast of Dino Crisis, the latest masterpiece from the makers of Resident Evil.
You play as Regina, a member of a four-person team sent to retrieve an expatriate scientist. Your radio man became a midnight snack for the T.rex, so it's up to you and your two remaining teammates to explore a dino-infested research station, rescue the scientist, call for a helicopter retrieval, and escape with your lives. Along the way you'll uncover the grizzly remains of those who got in the dinosaurs' way, and you'll unravel the mystery of how a top-secret energy research project turned into a Jurassic nightmare.
And about those dinosaurs: they're all over the island. One instant you'll be walking along a second-story balcony, admiring the view, the next instant you'll be dodging a T.rex as it smashes its huge maw through the concrete walls. Velociraptors chase you down blood-spattered corridors, flying reptiles circle the outdoor areas, and your only weapons are your pistol, whatever else you can salvage, a dwindling supply of ammunition, and your wits.
Packed with clever puzzles and heart-pounding surprises, all superbly presented with realistic graphics and horror-movie camera angles, Dino Crisis is a triumph of survival-horror gaming. --Mike Fehlauer
Pros: Great sound effects and music Well-integrated, varied, and clever puzzles Awe-inspiring, terrifying dinosaurs Branching story line improves replay value

I'm usually in the minority when I say this, but what the heck, I'll say it anyway - I prefer Dino Crisis to the first three Resident Evil games. I like Resident Evil and all, but when you take the Resident Evil formula, get rid of the slow-as-dirt zombies and replace them with lightning quick dinosaurs, it just makes for a more exciting game to play in my opinion. Yeah, the story and characte"

"Awesome game, full of fun killing and blood. Fan of resident evil? Play this. The main character is basicly jill, the engine is the same as RE2, and the dinos are basicly zombies."

"
It's labs galore! There are facilities on top of the ground, underground, and even in the clouds! Well, maybe not there, but the whole game literally takes place in one huge complex, part of which is below ground. And it's developed by Capcom. Who knew?"
