Dino Crisis

"It's Resident Evil with dinos !!!"

INTRODUCTION
* Dino Crisis, like Resident Evil, is a survival horror made by Capcom. But now you will be fighting real dinosaurs, like velociraptors, pterodactyls and believe it or not: a TyranosaurRex. Yes, you will have to face a huge tyranosaurrex.

There are a few number of weapons: a Handgun,a Shotgun...And A FEW number of bullets for them. In some moments it's better to run away from weak enemies like velociraptors then to waste your precious bullets. Okay, it is a SURVIVAL game, but...Where is the fun? Here is easier for the dinosaur to kill you then you to kill the dino.

GRAPHICS 7/10 (AVERAGE)
They didn't improve much the graphics from the Playstation Version. There cenes in Computer Graphics are OK! and well made. The design of dinosaurs and pre-renderized ambients are VERY, VERY good.

SOUND 6/10 (POOR)
The sound coming from the dinos are very scary. But Dino Crisis really DO NOT has a varied quantity of musics. You will be listing the same music for many hours and some are really annoying. I had to press ''Mute'' in my remote control for not to listen to a music there.

GAMEPLAY 7/10 (AVERAGE)
The worst thing about gameplay in Dino Crisis is that you cannot use the analog control, only the digital control can be used in game. Yes, it makes its role. But why did not Capcom include the analog control too?

In VMU (Virtual Memory Unit) you can see your health like Resident Evil: Code Veronica for Dreamcast. But it isn't very addictive.

If you have ever played any Resident Evil, you will be used to the controls in DC. Yes, they are the same! And you will have to kill the enemies, and kill the bosses, and find keys, and open locked doors, and fins bullets. The same thing like Resident Evil.

FUN FACTOR 8/10 (GREAT)
The only thing to say is that: ''if you liked the style of the Resident Evil games, you will also like the style of Dino Crisis!!!'' That's all: the only difference are in enemies and story. I did not give a ten because you will miss the bullets and you will not have the fun in the game, that is to kill the ferocious dinos.

''To buy or to rent?: that is the question!''

If you like the ''Survival Horror Genre'' and Resident Evil, you should buy the game.

But if you not, just rent it in a weekend you will finish the game in less than 6 hours.
