    Offers up a mixed bag - it's a title that offers an excellent plot, creepy sound effects and responsive gameplay. These good features are then marred by the games poor graphics.

    On the PC it isn't all that original, and isn't pretty at all. The menu system is sludgy and antiquated, the gameplay is slow-paced an repetitive, despite some really inventive moments, and the voice-acting leaves a lot to be desired.

    An obvious port. The visuals are stuck at a maximum resolution of 640x480 and despite the new polygonal real-time environments, the developers still need to take advantage of the technology available on the PC.

    If you like the horror-survival genre, or are a big fan of Resident Evil-style gameplay on the PC, Dino Crisis is definitely worth checking out.

    It's more of a walk down memory lane for lapsed PlayStation devotees than a real game, though it can pack plenty of appeal for those so inclined.

    Unfortunately, the fact that it is a PSX port and that it doesn't bring anything remotely new into the genre is a good enough reason for it not to score well. Add to that the monotonous dinos and B-Movie voice acting, and my decision not to score it well is even more justified.

    Though it has some startling moments and a few fun sections, it's mostly just a mediocre version of a mediocre game.

    It's like any "Resident Evil" game but with dinosaurs instead of zombies. It's also not a very good conversion. Recommended only if you are a survival horror fanatic. Everyone else… be afraid. Be very afraid.

    With a predictable storyline, childishly designed puzzles and some simply awful graphics, there is very little to haul this game from the clutches of Pantsville!
