The main difference with Resident Evil is the usage of 3D environments instead of pre-rendered backgrounds, which was the standard methodology used by RE games at that point. In the end, it was a standard “survival horror” game. To not be labeled as Resident Dino, Capcom marketed the game as a “panic horror” game, due to having more consistent visceral terror, with quick intelligent and violent enemies. Her goal is to fight through a research facility to discover its secrets and of course, survive. What does our girl ‘Gina find there? A fuckton of dinos. The game’s main character is Regina, a special operations agent that of course is sent to a mysterious island to investigate. Of course, shooting and running are two incompatible actions.Įven though the controls of both games were not great, they add to the atmosphere, you need to be on point, since the game does not help you at all. The game created a very tense atmosphere and had many common elements with RE, such as “opening door loading screens”, jumpscares with velocirraptors instead of zombies, fixed camera, puzzles and clunky controls.Īs in Resident Evil, you need to push the square button and a direction to run, and to shoot you need to push R1 to aim and shoot. The first game had many similarities with Resident Evil. In this post I want to talk about the Dino crisis games, so everyone gets to know the saga before (hopefully) someone at Capcom decides the games need a new installment/remake (they are getting quite efficient at remaking old games). The third one pretty much sucked.Ĭapcom recently renewed the Dino Crisis brand, so hopefully this means that at some point, we will get more of this saga. In general, the first two games had great reviews, the first one as a survival horror RE-type game and the second one as a crazy shooter. The saga is composed by three main games, the first two launched for the original Playstation and the third one was an Xbox exclusive. That's why Dino Crisis 2 is a monumental game for the fans of prehistoric monsters and is also a great experience for all third-person shooter fans.My man Shinji and Regina, red-headed sexy dino slayer I have been playing for 12 years and I can't remember MANY great games abouts dinosaurs (Paraworld, Peter Jackson's King Kong - that's all i remember). Of course, it's not among the PS One gems like metal gear solid, resident evil 2, crash bandicoot and gran turismo but a game that is worth playing. It's a great system for an action game but not for a horror( so it's not a big drawback - just my personal opinion). The developers could have reduced the number of points you get for killing dinos so there would be a greater sense of horror in this game( like in the exceptional Resident Evil 4 where the number of bullets is not enough to waste but is enough for your survival). It's fun, exciting and entertaining but you begin to feel more like a juggernaut rather than a prey. At some point you buy some really badass guns and begin to eliminate dinos like a terminator. As you kill more and more enemies without getting hit your earn more points that you can spend for buying new weapon and equipment. I think, a drawback of this game is the system of extinct points.

There are about 10 species of dinosaurs presented in this game - not a huge number for a dino fan, still, bigger than in the first game. There are many interesting details in the plot that seem really obscured and unevident in the beginnig but the more player progresses the more he/she learns about the 3-rd Energy experiment and it's outcomes and the story of helmeted people who are chasing our heroes throughout the game. I also liked the music and the great atmosphere it created. An outstanding variety of weapons of all sorts makes killing prehistoric creatures an endless fun. In dino crisis 2 you have to fight swift and agile dinosaurs but not the slow zombies like in the early resident evil games so the gameplay is far more dynamic. Some may argue that this is a simple resident evil clone even though the overall quality of this game is on a high level. I have been a dino fan for the most of my life so this game was especially enjoyable for me. When I finally got the console it was a dream came true and Dino Crisis 2 was among my first games. When I finally got the I will never forget the time when i was waiting for my birthday's present and this present was a PS One console.
