Dino Crisis

"I'll say this once.... and probably many times again... Dino Crisis smells of the blood of Resident Evil through and through. First there's the short cut scenes re-enacting the gruesome end your character befall's while a T-Rex roars triumphantly in the background. Then there's the inner menu where the Maps can be studied and items stored, examined and selected for use. Remember those big bottomless boxes in which surplus items could be tidily packed away? "

"Essentially this is Resident Evil with big lizards but there’s by far enough added extras to make it stand on its own two clawed and scaly feet, making Dino Crisis a must have for fans of the genre and newcomers alike."

"Dino Crisis is a game that really shows that the Playstation can still do great graphics. The character models are solid, with few visible seams both in the main characters and dinos. A full sized T-Rex can also be seen in the game, complete with light-sourcing from nearby flames. Rooms and laboratories are remarkably detailed and the polygonal environments are put to good use. The camera will occasionally swing when Regina moves to different areas of the room, and there are many moments were the camera follows right behind Regina to provide an eerie chase cam in the deserted hallways of the facility. "

"... does a brilliant job of telling a story... takes the RE paradigm and fleshes it out, brings new subtleties to it, and advances the game in weaker areas... inventory system has been revamped... limited amount of dinos... it's just not as scary... less compelling cache of weaponry..."

"Overall, Dino Crisis is fun the first time you play through it, but I don�t think that this is going to be a title that I ever go back to. While incorporating a lot of good ideas, some of them are poorly implemented and downright annoying. I was able to pick the game up used for about two dollars, and I think in the end that the purchase was well worth it. If you�re up for a scary, Dino Crisis should enter your collection immediately."
