    I love Dino Crisis a lot and I love the character Regina so much. I wish we had HD remakes of this and Dino Crisis 2. I have finished both games more then once just I did with Resident Evil 2, 3, and Code: Veronica as well as Syphon Filter, Syphon Filter 2, and Syphon Filter 3. Dino Crisis should be remade in HD and so should Dino Crisis 2 forget Dino Crisis 3.

    This game a lot like Resident Evil in certain aspects which makes it thoroughly enjoyable. I recommend playing this if you are a die hard fan of any Resident Evil games.

    Dino Crisis is basically Resident Evil meets Jurassic Park. It's a survival horror game that provides plenty of thrills. The game is challenging, but fun. This was released on the PS2 around the same time that Resident Evil 3: Nemesis arrived. The big difference between the two is the pacing. In "Nemesis", the pace is faster with an emphasis on weapons and ammo. Dino Crisis is more in theDino Crisis is basically Resident Evil meets Jurassic Park.

There are less enemy encounters and guns, but more jump scare moments. You truly feel like you're hanging out to the seat of your pants. It's a terrific game. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10.… Expand

    This game is pretty good, at least it was still difficult with sometimes trying to scrape together a few darts to beat those nasty funny-colored velociraptors, the story is ok too, I think it's better than the sequel(s)

    classic Dino crisis much more slow pace then Dino crisis 2 but so much more rewarding. Loved all the puzzles, reminds me of the classic resident evil, you cant just go running through guns blazing you had to manage your ammo and supplies.

    This film noir portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. Charlton Heston plays an honorable Mexican narcotics investigator who clashes with the bigoted Quinlan after probing into his dark past. A memorable

    I love survival horror games. I've loved and finished all of the Resident evil games. But I couldn't finish this game. I played 60% of the game and enjoyed it very much. But then it started to get very complicated. Puzzles increased. The places to go increased. Dinosaurs got harder. And the last time I got stuck in one place and quit. Unfortunately. I'm not very patient either. But overallI love survival horror games. I've loved and finished all of the Resident evil games. But I couldn't finish this game.

But I couldn't understand the item mixing business. Also, even if I kill the dinosaurs, they sometimes respawn. Even though I don't like it as much as the first 3 games of resident evil, it's good. I recommend it to those who want a more challenging survival horror.… Expand

    Still contains all the white-knuckle, suspense-filled gameplay that made the PlayStation version so great. Don't go in expecting something extraordinary or new, because you won't find it here.

    Both games are directly targeted at the budget level, and are steals for gamers that have never owned the PlayStation versions, or just never had the chance to really get into either one.

    Think of it as a time capsule of sorts, and a lesson in just how far hardware has progressed over a few short years.
