Still Amazing!

Dino Crisis is a must, if you're a dinosaur lover like me. It isn't the most spectacular story that you will experience like other games and movies, but it's still a solid survival-horror game that will give you excitement and scares. In a Jurassic Park sort of way, you are sent to an island, but your character is not to know what she should expect. It's supposed to be one of those simple missions of locate and retrieve a rogue person, but along the way, you find out it's a bit more complicated than that. I won't go into story detail, because if you haven't played it before, it would ruin the experience, if you are a perspective buyer. The game functions like an original Resident Evil game (after all, what would you expect from the same company?). For example, the controls will have you turn your character in the direction you want to go, then you have to move her. It's a bit complicated, but the more you play, the more you get used to it, but still it will be a challenge. You also get the same claustrophobic horror that you had in the first Resident Evil game. You're in a dark and desolate area, mainly indoors, and have to worry about every corner you turn. Even the footsteps that the creatures make work in favor of the horror grasp, because even though you know your attacker is coming, you know what to expect of it and don't want to have to worry about jaws and claws tearing you apart. This is definitely a bit of a puzzle game. You'll find simple challenges, such as moving color coded equipment, then you'll deal with more difficult things, such as trying to put together a pipe assembly. Also, you will have to make decisions in this game... I will not say anymore than that. The music and ambiance definitely give you a more fearful play, because you'll always feel this tension and stress that something is out to get you. All in all, I'd say this game is very good, even if it doesn't put the Dreamcast to it's paces (mainly because it's a port of the original PlayStation version). The controls will be a bit of a challenge to grapple with at first, but once you've got them under control, the rest will be the game itself and it's definitely something you can remember for awhile.Read full review
