Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 team-mates 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Cooper!Being a big fan of all survival horrors I was a little miffed when ODM gave this 7 and just said it was a poor PC/Playstation port,I bought it anyway and after a few minutes was gripped,Like the other review said,it's a bit more strategic than RE,with the use of environmental objects such as the 'laser fences' to stop the dinos. I've since played a demo of the PC one and it's graphically not as good,the only complaints on the DC as to graphics are some of the scenery,mainly notices on doors etc.are strange 'trapeziums' as the more powerful DC renders an old PSX game. Gameplay wise it's excellent,the only downer is that you don't have a memo file like in RE so you have to write codes down unless you fancy backtracking. Rating:  - Top-rate Jurassic Horror for Dreamcast'Dino Crisis' comes from the makers of the excellent 'Resident Evil' series, and bears many similarities to its forebears. The story places secret agent Regina on the dino-ridden Ibis Island, charged with finding the elusive Doctor whose experiments have somehow caused the dinosaurs to appear in the present day. It obviously owes a big debt to 'Jurassic Park' as well as 'Resident Evil', with a monstrous T-Rex appearing at critical moments and generally causing a panic. Basically, if you like the R.E. games then you'll like this. It's not quite as action-packed, rather more strategic and thoughtful, but you still get to face Raptors and the like with big guns on plenty of occassions. The mood and atmosphere are perfect, with some stunning set ... Read More: |
