Dino Crisis2 is almost as good as the original. The only downside is Dylan. He is well, a [fool] through and through. You can't use Regina the whole time and that is very bad. If you have read my Dino Crisis review you will know why I said this. If you don't feel like going to read my reviews on Dino Crisis than listen up. Regina is HOT! There, that about covers it. Speaking of covers, it is very annoying that you can't get alternate clothing for Regina. The leopard skin outfit is very nice and as my friend and I put it when we saw the army outfit: Oh YUM! Lets get back to the second installment shall we? The guns in 2 are much better, and the CG animation of Regina makes her much hotter. This is a great game and I love it!

Running and gunning

After playing the first Dino Crisis, I was very anxious and eager to try out it's sequal, Dino Crisis 2. I was hoping for the best, that this would be the rare game that is better then it's forebearer, and I am pleased to say that the sequal blows the first one right out of the dino-infested jungle.
First off, this is not a survival horror game. Within five minnutes of picking up the controler, its obvious that this is flat out an action adventure game, just with Resident Evil style controls. In this game, it's kill or be killed, with no tranquelizers, only lots of high powered death dealing weaponry to extinguish the reptilian menace. In the first game, you had to carefully manage each and every shell or bullet in your arsenal, and you also had to mix and manage tranquelizers in case you ran out of "Hard" amunition. In this game however, bullets are plentiful, and tranquelizers are nowhere to be found. If you want to tranquiize dinosaurs, you are not playing the right game! Instead of a pistol, shotgun, and grenade gun, you get a pistol, a shotgun, a solid cannon, a heavy machine gun, missile pods, aquatic grenade launchers, flame throwers, dual handed submachine guns, etc, etc. Even the lowly handgun will kill the early dino's in just a few hits. All of these weapons are lots of fun to play around with, and some of the more powerful weapons will kill anything (except for the two big baddies) in 2 to three shots!
As you can probably guess, you'll come across some dinosaurs in the game, and there are many of them. While facing off with one raptor last time was a pain in the butt, try facing off against three at one time! And lets not even talk about the nasty oviraptors! The dinosaurs in this game pop out of every single bush you'll come across, and they are fast, nasty and mean. Luckily, the odds are even with all the death dealing weaponry you can get your hands on, but even with that, dont expect a walk in the park. Some of these nasties can kill you in a few bone crushing bites if you are not careful. Before we go any further, yes the T-Rex is in the game, and yes there is a dinosaur larger then the T-Rex, and yes it's spectacular to fight it.
Instead of a single large building to fight in, you get to fight in cretatious era jungles, a floating power plant, and in an interesting change of scenery, an underwater power-station. This is definitly an interesting change in scenery, and makes for a more refreshing gameplay experience. While an action adventure game with lots of guns and running around sounds bad with a resident evil control scheme, it actually works and is pretty easy to work. If you want, you can also use the digital analog controler, but with fixed camera angles, I found it better to use the actual directional buttons.
Along with all the new weapons, the new dinosaurs, and new scenery, there is also a pretty decent story to go along with everything. The government (The game dosent say which one) has greedily taken over Dr. Kirk's Third Energy research and of course, caused a huge problem (Bet you didint see that coming!). An entire town has vanished, leaving in it's place a jungle. So a elite military team goes...uhh...forward in the future to rescue everyone. However, things go bad, and now only three people are left to save everyone. The story exists purely to give a reason for all the killing, and it does a fairly coherient job at doing it. You assume the identity of Regina, everybody's favorite secret agent from the last game, and newcomer Dylan, who has an interesting past, and a shocking future (It'll make sense when you see it). One thing I was pleased with is that everybody is voiced by good voice actors, which makes listening to them an enjoyable experience.
One thing I absoloutly love about Dino Crisis 2 is that there are virtually no irritating puzzles to drive you insane! No more DDK disks or switching circuts! And the puzzles that are here revolve around action and are really simple "Do you want to disarm the missile, yes or no?". Another interesting puzzle invovles trapping an irritating little dino that has a key you need. Mini-games like these keep the game feeling fresh, and help spice up the game-play. On another note, in the last game you could not skip cutscenes, which got really irritationg. In this game however, you can skip cutscenes by pressing the select button. Yippie!
Unlike the first game, there are some great rewards for finishing and re-playing the game. If you collect enough dino files, you get a great bonus item (Which I'll let you find out for yourself). There are also some very interesting mini-games, in which you dont have to worry about ammo, and focus on pure dino killin action!
However, there are some problems with the game. The story is weak and could use a lot of work. The time-travel element is completly wasted, and at times just does not make any sense whatsoever. The story lacks a satisfying ending, and just stops in the ending cutscene. While what happens afterwards is hinted at, it would have been very satisfying to actually see it. The music is just that, music, with only one or two memorable tunes. In addition, the game is a bit short. It took me about eight hours to finish it the first time.
These are just small complaints however. If you loved the first game, you'll love Dino Crisis 2. Heck, if you like blasting dinosaurs to bits with lots of running and gunning, you'll probably enjoy this as well. If you love blasting and shooting, you'll like this. Highly recommended.

Dino Crisis 2 : AWESOME!

Ok. First of all, I'd like to say that Dino Crisis 2 is one of the best games Capcom has made. It has great graphics and unlike Dino Crisis 1 you are outside in the jungle rather than cooped up in some expirimental building or whatever it is, and you don't just pick up weapons lying on the ground. I mean, how real is that huh? In Dino Crisis to you have to earn the money (points) and you buy your weapons, and the weapons are a lot better, too. These are weapons such as flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and uziz(my favorite!. I think Capcom makes great games. But you know Dino Crisis 2 does have one itty bitty thing that I don't like... IT'S TOO SHORT!, but the graphics, the weapons, the gameplay, and most of all, the FUN make Dino Crisis 2 obviously one of the greatest games on Playstation.

What has Capcom done???

I wasnt really too sure about buying this game, but I thought since all Capcom games are golden, this would be too. . .I was wrong. This is NOTHING like the first one. For instance: There arent any scary moments that have you changing your underwear. And there's WAY to much ammo and guns that you can buy thanks to those stupid "points" after killing dinos. There's really no challenge in this game. POINTLESS compared to Resident Evil where you have to save every bullet to kill the zombies. In this game you just run around shooting dinos that always re-apear seconds after there dead. The voice acting is decent, and there's plenty of scencs that keep the story moving, even if the story doesnt make too much sence. The CG movies are awesome, especially the intro. But thats about it. Not the best Capcom has done.

Dinosaur games rock!! (this is no different)

Just like the title states, this is a great game. I'm a HUGE dinosaur fan. The first one is not nearly as good; too puzzling. Unlike the first one, this game has dinosaurs that are different colors. For the raptors, the color indicates how strong they are. Yellow ones are the weakest. Blue ones are the strongest (in the guide it says they are as strong as an Allosaurus! Yikes!) Green and red raptors are the weakest after yellow ones. Red raptors are the strongest that you get more than a 2-combo from (the blue raptors only appear after you've made a 20-combo for Velociraptors, Oviraptors, Pteranodons or Plesiosaurs, and there are only two of them at a time). Oviraptors are either blue or red, but other than that they're similar. The other dinosaurs are just one color. Here are the other dinosaurs (and prehistoric lizards): T-rex, Mosasaurus (they only appear in the water) Inostrancevia, Allosaurus, Pteranodon, Compsognathus (which never attack- they run away!), Giganotosaurus and Triceratops. Enough about the dinosaurs (assuming there could ever be enough about dinosaurs). I know the game so well that I could practically write a whole guide about it! Anyway, it's a good game, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to shoot dinosaurs.

Oh boo hoo this isn't scary!

First off I'd like to say that this is the first and only Dino Chrisis game I've ever played.It isn't scary , but it does have tons of twists in the plot , cool unlockables and it's realy fun to play.The only problem I have is that the camera angle shifts into wierd positions and you have no control over it.If you have fun playing Resident Evil games then buy this.Don't buy this if you wan't to be scared.

DINO CRISIS 2 ROCKS!

Yeah, okay, the first Dino Crisis was a thriller, edge-of-your-seat thing. It was great, but too puzzling and oh! let's find the key that unlocks the secret door to the TOILET. Oh goodie. But now it's so much better..... you get two weapons, a main weapon and a sub-weapon which is good 'cuz those raptors just keep on coming! There's no surprises dino-wise...they're there ALL THE TIME. More extinction points to buy bigger gun so they bring more extinction points to buy even bigger guns and they... you get the point. Also, the storyline is the best. Very surprising ending. Don't skip it!
Ah.... Storyline. There's a new playable character- Lt. Dylan Morton, WHO IS THE BEST! How long did Capcom spend making his CGI eyes so blue? I guess I'll never know.... BUY THIS GAME!!!

Game of the millinium

I have not yet played dino crisis but DINO CRISIS 2 is the best game I have ever played.DINO CRISIS 2 is just non stop
ADVENTURE and ACTION.There are many species of dinosaurs .
There are big dinosaurs like T-REX,Allosaurs,giagantosaurs.
There are many places to visit like Military Facility,Reserch
facility,Eden City etc.It is not that all scary. There are
a lot of WEAPONS to choose from.You even control 2 characters
(Dylin and Regina).Raptors are everywhere.THERE are even
sea and the flying repliles.
The only defect with the game is that
it is not scary and there are not enough BIG Dinosaurs. DINO CRISIS2 IS AN ESSENTIAL BUY.

dino 2 is way better than the first alot more action
