Not a great game but a more than decent survival horror.
It has become a cliché to define it as "RE but with dinosaurs!", but it's because that's absolutely true.
Same clumsy tank controls, but yeah, in RE1 there were some moments where you were allowed to chill: zombies are slow, don't open doors, don't have more than one type of attack... Dino Crisis has focused on destroying that quietness that comes when you understand what enemies can and can't do.
Decent voice acting, but music is not great and the plot is too complex and doesn't get scary. Some puzzles are fun, but are logical games that hardly are integrated into the narrative, more than riddles. It makes sense in a way: it's a more sci-fi survival horror than RE.
It's quite hard and the ending part assembling the generator was tedious to me. Avoiding dinosaurs –some with an unpredictable respawn–, saving bullets, feeling totally overwhelmed by the situation... that was the cool part.
It has its moments.
