DINO CRISIS


by Jay "THE FLEA" Wade

What happens when Jurassic Park and Resident Evil are combined? You get Dino Crisis, The Resident Evil creators must have watch Jurassic Park one to many times and thought "Hey let's replace the zombies with Dinosaurs!"

Dino Crisis follows the almost the same story as Resident Evil 1. A bunch of agents are sent to check out some strange events and find out more then they bargained for.
The graphics are great. It feels like your playing Resident Evil in Jurassic Park. You play as Regina (and only as Regina) and you solve puzzles and kill dinos. Mostly Raptors, but you'll also find other dinos. And replacing the Tyrant is a T-Rex. (Run! trust me RUN!)

The Raptors are vary smart. If you run out of a room and hide, they track you down. And only do you have to worry about your health, but also worry about bleeding to death. For weapons you have 3 to choose from. Pistol, Shotgun and Grenade Launcher. And can mix items to create more powerful ammo and find upgrading parts.

While all that is good, the amount of ammo is scares. You go for a long time with little or no ammo. So you find your self running from the Raptors instead of killing them.

The voice acting is nothing as bad as Resident Evil 1, but it still can be a little silly. Dino Crisis also follows Resident Evil 1 with the multiple endings. Depending on your choices in the game. And just like the Resident Evil games you open secrets for beating the game. Overall Dino Crisis is not better then Resident Evil 2 but it's still worth your gaming dollars.
