Dino Crisis (PC)

Title: Dino Crisis Developer: Capcom Year: 1999 Platforms: PSX, PC, DC, This review is based on the PSX Dino Crisis 1 - I don't know the PC requirements, I'm afraid. I'm having to resubmit this review, as my entire account had to be wiped when I entered the wrong age when I registered (don't ask how I did that!)- thanks to everyone who commented before! :~*~PLOT~*~: You play Regina (codename), a Government Agent sent to a small island with a team to 'repatriate' (and it took me three dictionary hunts to discover that this simply meant to kick him back into his own country) a scientist who was thought to be ...  Read the complete review

A Dino portion of Survival Horror on your PC Survival Horror. The PC has had it’s fair taste of the genre, with the Alone in the Dark series, and other point and click variants. But not many of the ‘traditional’ PC titles have really hit the mainstream with any conviction (alone in the dark aside possibly). Survival horror has been mainly the forte of consoles, with their light gun capabilities and rumble paks. As such some console to PC ports have been really poor. For example, the House of the Dead on PC was a joke. A mouse cannot replace the satisfaction of using a light gun. Can it? But this changes somewhat with the ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw the preview for Dino Crisis on the playstation I was sincerely hoping it would be released for the PC. When it was released I bought it straight away. In all honestly the game is great you play a girl called Regina, who is part of a special operation team that is sent to investigate the mysterious reappearance of Dr K, he was presumed dead when his island lab blew up.

The game has lots of puzzles to solve as well as shooting ...  Read the complete review

This game is basically by the same people as resident evil. It has a great involving plot. If you like resident evil you'll like this one. It is great the dinosaurs really can scare you too death! It you want a horror it is great. But it is over within a few hours. Which really is a shame and once completing it once there really is very little point completing it again. That means the lifespan is very short which is a shame as if is such a exciting brilliant experience! If you like this type of game get it now! ...  Read the complete review

I'm all for more console games on the PC -- it saves all of us money in the long run, and gives us an opportunity to play titles like Metal Gear Solid, Rayman 2, and Soul Reaver in higher resolutions, and with pixel-perfect framerates. Of course, that's if the developer chooses to work the assets of the PC platform. There's also the downside, a sludgy, muddy world filled with such horrors as Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy VIII. You don't need glasses, that's pure, unfiltered blur you see before you. While Capcom's latest PC port, Dino Crisis, fares better than most due to its polygonal engine, it still suffers from a serious case of port-i-tis ...  Read the complete review
