Nope, I like the puzzles and it helps make it unique among survival horror games in the copy and paste Resident Evil era, as opposed to something like Cold Fear in the post RE4 era. I do believe that considering the hype and pedigree of the developers (Mikami and Hideki Kamiya to boot), it isn't wrong (especially from a modern perspective looking back) to have expected more of the game.

+VegetaHitsGirls The truth is in my experience the general consensus has usually been DC 1 is a very good game while DC2 was a bit of a letdown for going all action. DC 1 received top reviews back when it came out and I bought it right away. Having been in love with the new survival horror genre perfected by Res Evil 1 and 2, the game had it all but with dinosaurs this time. DC 1 is an all time great in the genre. DC 2 was a huge letdown for those expecting more of the same. Can't believe they wasted the sequel making it an action game.

survival horror is back friend c:

I disagree with this review. Dino Crisis 1 did more for the survival horror genre than many other games. The puzzles were varied rather than stale, and they actually were hard rather than stupidly easy like in Resident Evil. Those things you complain about, you'll blowing them out of proportion. And some of those things don't even make sense at all. Dino Crisis 2 was fun, but it was an action game, and that thing couldn't possibly called "Survival Horror".

I'm so happy that even though you dropped the HVGN name, you still kept the same formula and heart of it. Great video Derek!

There's one thing you did not notice in Dino Crisis 1. They're mercenaries, not a police rescue team. They are not there to save the world. They're there to rescue the VIP (Dr. Kirk) and leave. That simple. No dilemmas. No kindness, just a reward to receive. One impression I had while playing, is that they were Umbrella mercenaries, like those in RE3. If the characters become deeper or interpretive, the spirit of "mercenaries" would probably be lost, since Regina is a charismatic protagonist. In my opinion, if you could change the protagonist for Sylvester Stallone, the game would be exactly the same game, which makes your proposal a success, a group of "expendables", only with a less charismatic character. Nothing to say about Dino Crisis 2. And I wanted to know more about Regina, too.

The appearance of puzzles in Dino Crisis actually balance to your decisions in the game. Picking Rick's choices often are "thinking" your out and choosing Gail's are often "fighting" your way out. It's not something you learn until you play the game more than once, but the way the game plays out is decided by the player.

i flatly disagree with DC1. it was more akin to Silent Hills formula; it used what you can't see, music and sound effects to cleverly induce fear with the odd jump scare and that big arse T-Rex... DC2 was little more than fun for me which is strange considering i hadn't even reached 10 years old by the time i finished the secong game. i agree about Regina, if they make a new DC she HAS to be lead. She's up there with Lara 'Pixel-tits' Croft in hottest ps1 babes (though i never rated Lara that much). i hope to god you hate DC3. im going to watch that vid now :)

What impressed me in Dino Crisis 2 is the use of motion capturing on in-game engine despite the limited use of the hardware, and it shows they fully utilized the system and put it in a good use. It just seems they were moving naturally. You don't see much PS1 games doing that especially not Capcom games while they still had characters with stiff movements.

Dude, you are awesome. Never stop, and thank you for all of your hard work.

I just remembered something, the ending to your gameplay of the first one, with you doing the random generator parts can be changed by you yourself, you can also go up to another part of the facility and collect the full piece instead.

Good to see your reviews again

DC 2 was soooooo dope!!! I love the opening how they establish the action and that soundtrack really got me going!

First one of Dereks reviews I completely disagree with. (although fair since these are opinions). Dino Crisis 1 was fantastic. I love survival horror genre and DC1 is more like Res Evil and Silent Hill but with Dinos. it had plenty of memorable moments and great tension that is built throughout the story. The puzzle solving is typical Res Evil style fare which is great for this style of game. Nothing crazy like you mention. Dino Crisis 2 to me was a huge letdown. I was excited to get back to some more real survival horror but it turned out to be a mindless action game. I gave it a few good long plays but the absolute letdown of it not being a survival horror game ruined it for me. DC1 is a legit all time great survival horror game up there with Res Evil 1-3 (and CV), Silent Hill, etc. Capcom knew the genre so well and it showed.

I actually found Dino Crisis 2's story to be captivating ! There's a sense of mystery and sorrow as you progress through the scenario. I don't see why people consider that game to be dumb... It's an action game alright. Not too difficult, except for some parts in hard mode (T-Rex tank chase, arrgh...), but it is one of the best "Jurassic Park like" games to have ever been released. As a fan, I can only appreciate.

Just played for the first time and absolutely amazed by the graphica and camera angles

I'm diggin' that copy of House you got in the background. Yeah, you know what you did.

Thats some great door code entering.

I loved Dino Crisis 2. it's one of my favorite games on ps1.

6:18 you only have to build the initializer and stabilizer if you side with rick when they discuss how to get the generator working, if you choose gail's option then you just head over to b3's storage area and pick up already completed ones except the path you have to traverse is full of the big grey dinos that fuck you up as opposed to the much weaker and fewer raptors you find on your way to the places where you build them. So one part is faster but more risky and one part is much slower but also much more safe in case you are on your first playthrough and are short on healing items, ammo and/or didn't activate all supply boxes.

Great review on these classic playstation games!

I can't believe your review! I thought that the puzzles made the game far more enjoyable as there was more to just shooting dinosaurs. The idea of the plugs also impressed me as ammo supply was limited and that made it into more of a survival horror. I found this to be quite a challenging game when it first came out and I'm still playing it today and I'm still enjoying it as I did all those years ago. Ok, the second game was more of a 'shoot em up' and had more of a storyline but the first one was more challenging! You notice people who play challenging games will throw their controllers on the floor and get angry but they will pick it back up the next day or in a few hours time and attempt to complete the game. The only problem would be the lack of dinosaurs in this game.

At least neither Dino Crisis 1 or 2 have zombie dinosaurs in spaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

Honestly, I loved this game as much as resident evil 2, really good game!.

+ Stop Skeletons from Fighting Hey Pal you just saved me some money I was expecting this to be way better from memory , but sadly not , it was great back in the day I guess
