Dino Crisis 3

As a company it would be safe to say that Capcom has always liked to play it safe. Get a game that works and emulate its formula again and again until the audience gets bored. This happened with their Street Fighter II series, and then again with their Resident Evil series. The Resident Evil formula was a simple one, you controlled the hero through a B movie story, using low budget horror movie angles and extremely low ammo that meant only one thing; when a zombie came your way you had to run if you wanted a chance at killing the giant snake. After countless sequels to that Capcom released the first Dino Crisis game that followed the formula completely, but replaced zombies with Raptors and "borrowed" the story from the Jurrassic Park movies. Now because of the fact that this game was harder and less action packed; though in my opinion much more atmospheric, than the Resident Evil series it turned out to be a lot less popular. Still it had enough of a cult following to ensure a...

THE GOOD:
Everythings so futuristic! The dinos and bosses are da' atomic bomb! Plus, I say the soundtrack gets a 10 out of 10 on my scale...

THE BAD:
Poppin' windows and that god forsaken' camera! Plus the limited dinosaurs to fight.

SUMMARY:
The game is really cool. The only bad things are the camera, and the endless amount of windows that pop, threatening to suck you out into outer space. But, the Formation Changes are pretty cool. I think DC3 swiped alot from old western alien movies, but don't complain. You have work to do in the game. 3 Australis fights, a fight with Rigel Domain, a Regulus, a couple of Miaplacidus' and the signature boss, a two-headed (3- headed later on,) two tailed, purple death spewing monster called Cebalrai. Don't let that cool you off. You have killer dinos, a shifting ship with a few weak gaskets, and a control computer called "Mother" that uses all these (yes, even the...

THE GOOD:
-excellent weapons -excellent enemy designs -the boosters (jet packs) -good graphics -good audio

THE BAD:
-terrible camera angles if you are unfamiliar with the RE cameras -too few types of enemies -not following the series' story

SUMMARY:
This game is good for me. I've gotten my Xbox and a copy of this game just about a week ago, and when I finished this game, I think it is just plain awesome. First, the graphics, with Capcom's usual standard, is good. The interior of the Ozymandius is just cool. THe game gives you three types of awesomely designed regular enemies (which by my standard is way too few) and five cool bosses, like the Australis, the Regulus, and the Regel domain. After all, this game is pretty tight, and although it doesn't have Regina and Dylan in it, but Sonya and Patrick are just as hot and cool. This game is all cool-ass stuff, I certainly hope that you get one copy of it if...

THE GOOD:
action , mystery, the whole space dinosaur concept

THE BAD:
nothing really, but the cameras might be disturbing for those who have not played capcom games before..

SUMMARY:
this game is a real good succesor of the previous dino crisis games... the mystery the suspense of slowly unravelling what actually happened and the dinosaurs that have mutated... the whole concept is a new angle to dino crisis but not too far fetced from the previous game storylines. it is better in the sense that they are not stuck to the same dinosaurs and there are a whole new set to fight with ..stuff you would never expect to see.
overall this is a wonderful game to play... especially for all those who have palyed the previous versions of the game.or other games like it..i.e Resident evil and all those

THE GOOD:
Um...its shiney

THE BAD:
Cameras.

SUMMARY:
Well people, the dino shit has just hit the fan. Yep, this game is really bad, and you want to know why? Cameras. Yeah, you people are thinking "Its just one little thing" But beilve me they are horrible. I was hit by dinosaurs and I couldn't see them because of the cameras. I'am just walking along and BANG! I get hit from the front and I couldn't see it. Oh sure, the graphics and controls are really good but it doesn't mean anything if you can see the freakin enemy. And another thing that makes this game bad is that when you get hit it takes like 1/4 of your life. This game was suppose to be really good, but thanks to the cameras and the sucky health SSG4 is giving this game a 2 out of 5

THE GOOD:
the graphics (everything's shiny), the weaponry, the dino design... that's about it.

THE BAD:
cameras. did someone say cameras? wow, cameras.

SUMMARY:
I'd have to say, this game is sooooo close to perfection, yet I couldn't see fit to give it so much as a two.

I'm a big Capcom fan, and I've played and loved every Resident Evil game that's hit our shores (save for Survivor, but we're not gonna talk about that), despite what the critics say about the camera angles and whatnot. I've learned to deal with them.

But... somehow... the camera angles are infinitely worse in DC3. It's hard to describe how, but the camera makes the game nearly unplayable. This sort of game needs a camera more like Gunvalkyrie's.

Honestly, if they could've just fixed that one element in this game, it would've been a must-have, out-of-this-world spectacular title. But, wish in one hand....

THE GOOD:
Action, tension, seek and find, items...it's all there for you Capcom fans!

THE BAD:
For non-Capcom fans perhaps the camera!

SUMMARY:
First off if you've played anything from Capcom, you'll recognize the trademark cutscenes, and visuals...truly outstanding. The next famous Capcom trademark is the camera, or lack there of. Resident Evil fans would have no problem with this game, however I fully understand the problem critics and Xbox players would have with this game, since they probably haven't had much experience with Capcom. Still you shouldn't pass up spinning Dino Crisis 3. The camera setup has a function, and that is to create maximum tension, and since your character fires, for the most part, at the nearest target, the trick is that once the music starts to get intense, start firing.(Hey with your default weapon having infinite ammo, what's from stopping you) Also since you have the ability to zoom...
