GamePro

Graphically, Dino Crisis 2 boasts some of the best work the old PS will ever have to offer, with great CG flowing near seamlessly into the action the player controls.

Hot Games

Great graphics, excellent sound, solid control, and lots of replayability. Eons of fun!

PSX Nation

I must say that Dino Crisis 2 is the most pleasing new experience in this whole Survival Genre yet.

IGN

Let me tell you, this is the sh*t. Dino Crisis 2 is a pure action-packed adventure/shooter that satisfies my urge to bloody my shirt with dinosaur guts, all the while weaving a great story with worthwhile characters whom I care about.

GameSpot

One of the most refreshing takes on the third-person action shooter to date.

Gaming Age

Capcom has done a brilliant job of changing the entire dynamics of how dinosaurs can be dealt with.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Offered a style of gameplay totally different than the original Dino Crisis. [Nov 2001, p.40]

Happy Puppy

Dino Crisis 2 serves up plenty of heart-thumping mayhem, awesome graphics and sound, and enough dinosaur bloodlust to keep even the most experienced dino hunters on their toes.

CNET Gamecenter

Great graphics and sound, tried-and-true gameplay, and wall-to-wall blasting mayhem make this a winner.

Spank!

Slightly shallow, but good, blood-splattered fun for all that, DC 2 is at the very least one of the most graphically accomplished arcade games you'll see on the PlayStation.

Game Revolution

The additions to combat, varieties of gameplay, and throngs of enemies who are serious about doing you harm make this infinitely more playable than most of the self-styled "survival horror" games.

Daily Radar

Dino Crisis 2 serves up two playable heroes in the form of military agents Regina and Dylan and, unfortunately, they're both rather stock and devoid of personality.

This game is AMAZING! It was the first playstation game i ever got and i still cant stop playing it. The graphics are SO detailed for a ps1 game and the gameplay (especially the dinos- giganotosaurus is awesome!) is challenging but fun and will have you playing for hours! The story is intricate and deeply thought out by Capcom. The best ps1 game i have ever played overall.

This game rocks,i like the different varieties of dino's you get to kill,and the only drawback is puting in a dino bigger than t-rex.Over all this is one heart stoppin' kick a** game.

Dino Crisis 2 is a fantastic game. As soon as you see it you feel like it's yours. The graphics are brilliant for a PsOne game. It challenges you right up to the top when you play. And once you complete the main game you get the extra crisis which is wicked. The gory in it brings the game to life. I recommend it to a anyone.

Craig M. gave it a 10:
This is such a good game because you could play it once, get the extra features at the end, and then keep playing to acquire more characters.

Kaldea W. gave it a 9:
This game is a great combination of action/ adventure and shooting. The graphics and overall gameplay are entertaining. Capcom truly created a remarkable sequel to the original.

A heart thumping pulse poundin' game that will keep you coming back for more!
