Dino 3 takes place about years in the future on a beastie-filled spaceship named Ozymandius. The ship has been MIA for about years at the game's outset when it suddenly returns to terrestrial space, jam-packed with hungry, intelligent dinosaurs. How the dinos got aboard is anyone's guess, as is how their brains grew so much. Regardless, combine these bad boys' larger cranial capacity with their gigantic jaws and razor-sharp teeth, and you have something that's superior to a human in every way.
That's scary. You won't be playing as just any human, though. Patrick, the main character, is decked out with some crazy gadgets. Coolest of all is the jetpack, which allows you to fly in any direction.
And Patrick's armed to the teeth with all sorts of futuristic heavy weaponry. He'll automatically aim his laser rifle at any creature in his field of vision, ensuring very little wasted ammo. He has some even nastier little tricks up his sleeve, too, called Wasps. They're drones that fly out of his back to seek and destroy any enemies they can find.
Think about it: flying, intelligent guns. Pretty useful, considering some of the wild environments. Speaking of which, don't think of your time inside the ship as the usual romp through access tunnels--the Ozymandius is far from your average spacecraft.
Its insides are constantly shifting, with passages opening and closing, and entire room layouts morphing as you solve puzzles or time passes. From what we've seen so far, the game has a pretty large exploration component, so the dynamic environments could be pretty cool. In any case, we're stoked Dino 3 is diverging from the stagnant survival-horror formula.
But intelligent, space-pirate dinosaurs? Exactly how far is Capcom trying to take this thing? Combat is pretty simple but works quite well. Although there are only three different weapons in the game you get little upgrades along the way, which make them more powerful. You can also make stun darts by mixing ingredients in your inventory which knock out the dinosaurs rather than kill them outright.
For some reason these are fired from the shotgun rather than the handgun. The enemies also possess some kind of intelligence, although they're not hyper-intelligent - after all, they are dinosaurs. One of their favourite tricks is to play dead, and when you try to get past they'll knock you over or grab a good mouthful.
Another problem is that even if you choose to do the puzzles rather than combat you'll still run very low on ammo, causing you to run away from enemies rather than taking them on which, let's face it, is the whole point of having them there in the first place.
The puzzles are typical of many console games, and largely involve shifting some crates that are in your way with a crane, for example. You've got to find some cards to operate the crane, and once you have them you have to figure out how to move the blocks because the crane will only operate a certain way.
The difficulty of these puzzles is set just about right: they're not overly complex, and although they're pretty easy, not one is a no-brainer. Capcom has also done a good job of balancing the puzzle-to-Dino ratio, although I suspect they could have made things busier as it can feel a tad empty in places.
There are, of course, little niggles that tend to creep in now and again. Dinosaurs can disappear once you've left the room and one of the crate-moving puzzles even resets itself. Another problem is that in order to progress you need to make notes of what you find in journals which tell you how to solve puzzles, open doors etc.
Not a problem in itself you understand, but you end up scribbling down the most bizarre interpretation of what the book said on a scrap of paper and then have to spend ages frantically trying to dig it out once you need it. It's the only really bad piece of game design, but games kept notes for you ten years ago, and not including it is one heck of a regression. If you can get past the silly conversion errors I still can't believe they left out an "exit" option and knew about it and the default controls, there's a decent game lying underneath.
It'll only take you a good weekend to get through it but there are enough alternative routes and Easter eggs to make you come back for more. It has to be said, though, that it's getting on a bit now. The sequel is available on the Playstation, and there are any number of Resident Evil style shooters on the market to make Dino Crisis very easy to overlook.
If you can get it cheap from a bargain bin then it'd be OK, but whatever you do, don't pay full price. Screenshots from MobyGames. Ahmad 0 point.

Sweet Mercy. One can make a copy of the PC version, no problem, and it'll run just fine on another PC. Now, with that out of the way, I have played the PC version, and aside from the controls being customizable, what's difference? Not much. So what? I'm okay with that. A femme protag? Yeah, I like that. No, I'm not 'one of those "dUdEs" that pretends to be a girl', I am a girl, a femme, and I love these older games, so you all can sit back, strap in, and shut up. Tydyman -4 points. I played both versions, and can tell you there is huge difference.
Well, actually I can't tell I played the pc version. I should say I tried to play it, and I couldn't. Like the guy said in the description, this is one of the worst ports ever made. It is like Capcom gave the task to a game developing 1st year students or something like that. It is horrible, I deleted it after 10 minutes.
As for the PSX version, I played it on the original psx, not even emulation, but the real stuff, and it was really wonderful experience. Many PC versions are superior to psx's, but not this one, trust me on this. All of you people. WAHID87 0 point. Gerhalt points. This game's so overrated IMO. Perhaps it used to be impressive back in with its original PSX version.
That's my guess since I didnt play it back then. However I once rented the PC version, and it was such a let down. As for the game itself, going up against the various dinosaurs is rather a tricky business. The controls are frustrating to use in a difficult situation and feel clumsy when up against the speed and savagery of the enemy. The inclusion of a quick-k turn key is a blessing in cases when running away seems like a good A solution.
However, when H actually trying to fight, I it's impossible to get a H few shots at anything from close up without them jumping up to W successfully attack you. Once this happens, your character spends a frustrating amount of time out of your direct control as she's knocked to the floor or bitten and you jab at the keys attempting to get her to safety. Most times you'll want to avoid the dinosaurs altogether by dodging past them and saving your ammo for the harder versions later on.
It does lack credibility, though, as you run past a Velociraptor several times as it prowls along the middle of a corridor, trying not to give him time to react. Which leads on to the illogical situation of you being perfectly safe from harm if you start reading a memo or something - even though there's a Raptor half an inch from Regina's neck when commencing. The controls don't do justice to the situation of avoidance either, often making you slide along walls like a drunken sailor on roller skates.
The actual adventuring aspect is rather poor as well. The majority of puzzles are made up of insultingly simple tasks, such as matching colours together or picking words out of codes. Dino Crisis brings back vaguely disturbing memories of the interactive movie genre, with its sledgehammer approach of inserting things like this into the plot in order to make an excuse to watch it. True, Resident Evil did the same thing, but somehow managed to pull it off with its pride intact.
That's not to say it's as bad as something like The 7th Guest, but often the puzzles feel like a means to stop you from opening doors and nothing else. Dino Crisis loses the tension of survival horror that RE2 has in spades. As was mentioned on its PlayStation release, dinosaurs just don't put the willies up people quite as much as skinless dogs do.
There's a sense of apathy to be felt when playing through the game, since there's not quite the same level of fear as you walk along trying not to imagine what's waiting around the next corner. Indeed, Dino Crisis never caused as much excitement on the PlayStation as the other survival horror games. The port to the PC does little to improve on the way the game looks and plays.
We could initially overlook the problems at the start of the game, but, after continuous playing, the annoying combat became more apparent as the dinosaurs got harder. The puzzles, don't really go anywhere either. But, for all its faults, it does have a certain drive behind it that warrants some interest in finding out how the story progresses. Capcom can produce great games for consoles when it tries, so it's a shame they don't pay more attention to the PC market.
Dino Crisis could have done with a makeover because, compared to titles like the Dreamcast's recently-released Code Veronica, it looks outdated and outdone. Hot on the heels of Dino Crisis 2 for PlayStation, Capcom comes a callin' with a snappy Dreamcast port of the original game. Much like the unreleased in America DC versions of Biohazard 2 and the upcoming Biohazard 3, this is little more than a quick port of the PC code, with almost no extras.
While the textures are merely smoothed-out versions of their PlayStation counterparts, the game still looks better than ever. It's still not nearly as pretty as something like Code: Veronica, but Dino Crisis, and its fully 3D backgrounds, benefit from the Dreamcast's accelerated hardware much more than the mostly prerendered Biohazard 2 did.
Even though Capcom has stated that any Dreamcast titles released in Japan will almost certainly come out here, there is no U. Cross your fingers! Despite what you might think at first, this isn't just another Resident Evil clone. Sure, it has a lot in common with its stable-mate, but it has enough new stuff to make you feel like you really are somewhere other than Raccoon City.
The most obvious new feature is the fully 3D environment, something that you'd expect to really open everything up. Unfortunately Dino Crisis still mimics RE in the way it has to sit and load for a while every time you walk through a door.
Don't expect Tomb Raider either As far as spooks and horror go, I think it has to be said that dinosaurs aren't as scary as zombies -although they can make you jump when they smash through a window and eat your friends.
The whole story line is extremely reminiscent of lurassic Park While the RE games seem to be erring more on the side of combat as the new games come along, Dino Crisis emphasizes puzzle solving as its major gameplay dynamic. None of the puzzles are too taxing, but they're presented in an original way and range from simple codes to some bizarre spatial reasoning problems.
It does have a tendency to repeat itself with the puzzles though. Dinosaur fans, rejoice! Capcom has managed to take the survival horror genre, remove the zombies and insert an equally terrifying menace--prehistoric beasts with a taste for blood. Using real-time environments gives it a more cinematic feel, making it feel like anything could pop out to attack at any time. There's plenty of puzzles, though they could've been a tittle more difficult.
If you're a fan of Resident Evil, you won't be disappointed by Dino Crisis. After playing Dino Crisis, I've decided these supposedly extinct cold-blooded creatures suck. OK, so maybe they don't-I'm just mad because they 1 scared the hell out of me, and 2 killed me. The latter being a bigger problem of course. Seriously though, Dino Crisis is pretty solid in all aspects-game-play-wise, graphically, sound, etc. There isn't much to complain about. Heck, even the voiceacting is decent.
Any fan of RE should take notice. I don't know what John D. They're quick, persistent and incredibly tough. This game frequently had me on the run, and it even freaked me out a few times. Just as snazzy are the loads of puzzles. These ain't the simple take-item-from-point-A-to-B puzzles of the RE games. Dino Crisis also packs lots of secrets, making for some hefty replay time.
The prehistoric age is finally getting its due with the first decent dinosaur-action game for the PlayStation. Dino Crisis bears several inescapable similarities to Resident Evil, but don't be fooled--this is more than just dinosaurs subbing for zombies.
Dino is an adventure-survival game with enough unique aspects to keep hardened action vets riveted to their controllers. Dino's crisis takes place on an isolated, top-secret laboratory island. You assume the role of Regina, member of a special-forces unit sent there to track down a missing scientist. As soon as the team arrives, however, all hell breaks loose; dinosaurs are running amuck, and you must escape before becoming their next meal. But it's a big island, so there's lots of ground to cover.
You'll search for keys, collect weapons, solve puzzles, scamper though airshafts, and of course, battle dinosaurs to avoid extinction.
One of Dino's big pluses is the nonlinear gameplay. You can choose different paths at certain points during the game, giving this Crisis replay value. There's one drawback to the massive laboratory, though: too much backtracking. You'll be sent repeatedly to the same rooms. Dino is an excellent mix of action and strategy. Blasting dinos to pieces is fun--but ammo is in short supply.
