A deliberately, paced adventure, Dino Crisis nicely fits the bill; others will be more satisfied with any of the "Resident Evil" series.
Think of it as a time capsule of sorts, and a lesson in just how far hardware has progressed over a few short years.

Dino Crisis is essentially "Resident Evil" with dirty great lizards instead of rotting zombies, it's still atmospheric and cinematic and it's still a bloody good survival horror romp.
You can look past the aged graphics, there is a great survival horror title here to be had.
I can whole-heartedly recommend this game to Dreamcast fans who have never played the game... just don't expect any huge bragging rights over those PlayStation owners.
It's got scary atmosphere, decent graphics, excellent sound, great dinosaur enemies, ominous locales, and plenty to do. If you've already played through the PlayStation version, there's little reason to run out to get the Dreamcast rendition.
Regina is one tough chick (a poster girl for the fictitious 'EuroAsia' of videogame and anime lore), but doesn't have the 'deer caught in the headlight' charm of Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine.
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.

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.

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 the tradition of the original Resident Evil. 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.
