It's fine I suppose. Not gonna lie, Dino Crisis is rather generic in concept for a survival-horror game, but is thankfully saved by dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are rather repetitive unfortunately, banking on a few species.

Short and concise, I suppose Dino Crisis is novel in concept. Stuck in an isolated island run by dinosaurs is a total fun time, right? Kind of, except when I start solving its dreadful puzzles.

Dino Crisis is tight. Its hallways even tighter. Regina? Great character. Would I vouch for a remake? Yes, but please. Lose the godawful puzzles, pretty please.

Fun enough game. The need to use your environment and block off enemies instead of dodging past listlessly shambling enemies is really interesting. The choice of using tranquilizers to temporarily remove a threat or spending rounds adds to the tension a ton too. When one of the raptors followed me into a room for the first time was genuinely shocked that they were this smart. Sadly the game just gets too repetitive and the amount of backtracking is gets egregious alongside the game's small enemy pool. You can feel the dev team struggling to get the game finished in time with how much reuse there is. If the level design was better and there were more hazards I'd consider it up there with the other PS1 RE games. As it is I wouldn't play it again over them.
