Amazon.co.uk Review
An abandoned research complex on a remote jungle island, a team of special forces operatives, a horde of vicious velociraptors, and one big, mean Tyrannosaurus rex constitute the setting and cast of Dino Crisis, the latest masterpiece from the makers of Resident Evil.

You play as Regina, a member of a four-person team sent to retrieve an expatriate scientist. Your radio man became a midnight snack for the T rex, so it's up to you and your two remaining team mates to explore a dino-infested research station, rescue the scientist, call for a helicopter retrieval and escape with your lives. Along the way you'll uncover the grizzly remains of those who got in the dinosaurs' way, and you'll unravel the mystery of how a top-secret energy research project turned into a Jurassic nightmare.

And about those dinosaurs: they're all over the island. One instant you'll be walking along a second-story balcony admiring the view, the next instant you'll be dodging a T rex as it smashes his huge maw through the concrete walls. Velociraptors chase you down blood-spattered corridors, flying reptiles circle the outdoor areas, and your only weapons are your pistol, whatever else you can salvage, a dwindling supply of ammunition and your wits.

Packed with clever puzzles and heart-pounding surprises, all superbly presented with realistic graphics and horror-movie camera angles, Dino Crisis is a triumph of survival-horror gaming. --Mike Fehlauer

Pros:
• Great sound effects and music
• Well-integrated, varied and clever puzzles
• Awe-inspiring, terrifying dinosaurs
• Branching story line improves replay value

Cons:
• Doors impervious to explosives

DINOMITE!!!!!
This has got to be the best game i've ever played!!! The storyline will keep you gripped to the screen a lot longer than expected & you'll want to carry on solving puzzle after puzzle. With 2 alternate endings & some rewards after you've completed the game this is well worth having in your collection!!!

To some up THE GAME UP...... it's FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

Jurassic Park with a BITE!
Forget Lara Croft, check out the new cyber girl in control of her boozkas! Regina! Foxey red-head out to kick dino butt! The game is cool from start to finish, you land with your team on an island, unknown to you its inhabitants are carnivorous dinosaurs and you're about to be their next snack, unless you get your skates on. Dinosaurs chase you through rooms, smash through windows, drag you across the ground. Regina suffers pain, unlike Lara she limps along, blood trailing behind her, a sense of reality. If you loved Resident Evil this is the game for you....

DUDE!
THIS IS A GREAT GAME

THE GRAPHICS ARE BETTER THAN RESIE'S USING POLYGONS INSTEAD OF PRE-RENDERED BACKGROUNDS AND THE DINOS LOOK FRIGHTENINGLY REALISTIC. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ACTUALLY MOTION CAPTURD SOME OF THEM.

THE PUZZLES ARE VERY GOOD, INTUITIVE AND INVENTIVE AND FIT INTO THE STORY WELL.

THE BOSS BATTLES IN THE GAME ARE TENSE AND THROUGHOUT THE GAME THE FEAR OF BEING TAKEN DOWN IN ONE BITE LEADS TO MOST FIGHTS BEING AVOIDED AND HEIGHTENS THE TENSION GREATLY. THIS IS THE GAME'S MAIN PLUS POINT WHEREAS RESIE RELIES ON A HEAVY TRIGGER FINGER DC MAKES THE PLAYER THINK OF OTHER WAYS AROUND.

THE MAIN CRITICISM WITH THE GAME IS THE RATHER PUNY WEAPONS, THE PISTOL FOR EXAMPLE IS MORE LIKE A C(R)AP GUN AND DOESNT SEEM TO DO MUCH DAMAGE AT ALL. THE SHOTGUN IS USELESS FOR KILLING BUT WITH TRANQUILISERS IS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE. ITS THIS LACK OF SERIOUS FIREPOWER THAT WILL TURN A LOT OF PEOPLE AWAY, AS NONE OF THE ARMORY REALLY PACKS AS MUCH PUNCH AS A GATLING GUN IN RESIE OR THE RIFLE IN SILENT HILL BUT DONT LET THIS AFFECT YOU, OR YOU'LL MISS OUT ON THE 2ND BEST SH GAME ON PSX.

GET IT BOUGHT!
