Dino Crisis (PS) Compare Prices

Game Review & Description: 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 his 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 Pros: Great sound effects and music Well-integrated, varied and clever puzzles Awe-inspiring, terrifying dinosaurs Branching story line improves replay value Cons: Doors impervious to explosives
