April 17, 2012 Dino Crisis dives straight first into the mechanics of Resident Evil one and two. It like playing those games, but with the undead replaced by sneering dinosaurs. Capcom have definitely stretched the elements of ‘’Panic Horror’’ in the game, giving the audience the same thrills, but adding some new creative dimensions. Like for instance, the character can walk while shooting, these small snippets make the game more accessible. The controls though, are pretty much the same.Dino Crisis is scary, it makes you jump, and it makes you want to cover your eyes. It plays like a resident evil game; the movement is reminiscent of one and two, the camera angles add to the frightening underpinnings of the game, sometimes you don’t know where you are going, a dinosaur could walk out of nowhere, you have to keep yourself vigilante.
The storyline of Dino Crisis is deep filled with blood and gore. You play as Regina, a sexy agent, who is thrown into the midst of the crisis; she parachutes in, with a mind full of dread. She isn’t alone, she is aided with agents with similar skills to her, but the hard shell of help is soon shattered, when you start to fight alone. The fable is intriguing and original; Capcom certainly pushed themselves and their brewing minds.
Dino Crisis takes place on Ibis Island; you are on a mission to track down the devious Dr Kirk. A scientific mastermind who supposedly died, but new findings suggest that he’s still alive. Your mission is to take down his enterprise, to eradicate his prophases. Some feel, that he, is designing these dinosaurs in his state of the art lab. Also your other objective is to get off the island alive, simple eh?
The game play in Dino Crisis replicates the Resident Evil franchise. The mechanisms are pretty much the same. They aren’t many guns or dinosaur species in the game; T Rex only really makes cameo appearances. This can leave the gamer downhearted. After you see the dinosaurs over and over again it can be mundane. Storing items is much the same as in Resident Evil too.
The graphics in the game are put together with awesome precision, it has some of the best graphics I have seen in a nineties title. The game is less cluttered; it’s a well-textured experience.
Dino Crisis is a game that few would dislike. If you love Resident Evil, then you will love this. It has a sheer brilliance about it. It will hit the sweet spot in the gaming capsule in your brain; you will gain unprecedented pleasure from the title. As Regina your destiny is to survive, the gamer’s destiny is to enjoy what Dino Crisis has to offer.
