Goated game, heavily underrated until recently, which I am very thankful for it getting the recognition it deserves.

First off, it’s the best playing action game on the PS1, besides maybe Omega Boost. While it still has that classic Capcom tank controls, the faster-paced nature of the game encourages you to play aggressively for pretty much the entire runtime.

This is one of those games where it’s a short experience, but one hell of a playthrough. If you enjoy either violent power fantasies or Jurassic Park, this game is for you. Think Doom, but with dinosaurs and time travel.

Speaking of Doom, there’s a Fuck ton of cool weapons, such as:
- Handgun
- Shotgun
- Taser Sword
- Machete
- Shiny Machete
- Blue Taser Sword
- Energy Cannon that shoots a deadly ball of lightning
- Flamethrower
- Portable wall of fire
- Akimbo sub machine guns
- Stoner LMG that 1-taps half of the enemies in the game
- Anti-tank rifle that literally sends velociraptors flying through the air
- Rocket launcher
- Rocket launcher that shoots three homing missiles
- A chain mine gun that blows up the ground in front of you
- Harpoon gun
- Underwater grenade launcher

Not to mention, there’s a points system that incentivizes aggressive farming of fresh Dino giblets. Keep the combos going, don’t take any damage, and then buy the entire farm’s worth of gear and weapons.

In Dino Crisis 2, you are the dino crisis.
