But suddenly they face a giant Australis, a dinosaur-monster that eats McCoy, only to get devoured by a bunch of Rigel, some eel-like creatures. The three survivors are set to find out if there's any other survivor in the ship while trying to find a way to escape themselves.
From then on everything turns into an odd series of events where they have to fight these dinosaur-like monsters as they try to escape and uncover the mysteries. As you may have realized, no dinosaurs were mentioned so far here, right? Well, that's because in this title there are no real dinosaurs at all. Instead, we have these mutations based on the DNA of different dinosaur species. This alone may not be such a bad thing, but when you think about it, part of its predecessor's attractive was the fact that you were fighting real dinosaurs.
And the whole game lacks creativity too. Just two tears after this, Shinji Mikami went ahead and directed Resident Evil 4 , one of the biggest and most successful survival horror games ever. So, the mechanics were not really up to the times, and the lack of creativity sent the series back to the ground. The puzzles are repetitive and boring, and the fights, though fun at first, become really monotone in no time.
And maybe then we can all just forget about Dino Crisis 3. Graphics and Visuals: Probably the best aspect of the game, the CG was pretty good. Monster design was nice-looking, the characters had facial expressions, and overall it looks alright.
But the art direction is as boring as the rest of the game at the end of the day. Sound: The nearly non-existent soundtrack is just terrible whenever it appears. The sound effects are low quality and seem out of place. But the locked camera is completely messed up. This could be one of the killing aspects of the game as a whole. It messes up the controllers, confuses directions and even has many glitches. Please download files in this item to interact with them on your computer.

There are only occasional problems where Regina has to head towards the camera and you can't see what's coming up, and there were a few instances where some hefty scenery makes it difficult to see what's going on. But these are the exceptions rather than the rule. The camera angles are also set-up well in the animated cut-scenes, which are well developed and even reasonably scripted.
The voice acting is of a good standard, especially the voice of Regina, which is actually better than many of the old interactive movies. The only thing that stands out is the name of one of your companions, Gail. He, yup, he is a tough, mission-comes-first, sod-everything-else macho man.
Called Gail. What the game plays like depends on the decisions you make. Go with Gail and you'll spend most of your time blasting or running away from the dinos; go with Rick and you'll be solving puzzles instead. Combat is pretty simple but works quite well.
Although there are only three different weapons in the game you get little upgrades along the way, which make them more powerful. You can also make stun darts by mixing ingredients in your inventory which knock out the dinosaurs rather than kill them outright. For some reason these are fired from the shotgun rather than the handgun. The enemies also possess some kind of intelligence, although they're not hyper-intelligent - after all, they are dinosaurs.
One of their favourite tricks is to play dead, and when you try to get past they'll knock you over or grab a good mouthful. Another problem is that even if you choose to do the puzzles rather than combat you'll still run very low on ammo, causing you to run away from enemies rather than taking them on which, let's face it, is the whole point of having them there in the first place.
The puzzles are typical of many console games, and largely involve shifting some crates that are in your way with a crane, for example. You've got to find some cards to operate the crane, and once you have them you have to figure out how to move the blocks because the crane will only operate a certain way. The difficulty of these puzzles is set just about right: they're not overly complex, and although they're pretty easy, not one is a no-brainer.
Capcom has also done a good job of balancing the puzzle-to-Dino ratio, although I suspect they could have made things busier as it can feel a tad empty in places. There are, of course, little niggles that tend to creep in now and again. Dinosaurs can disappear once you've left the room and one of the crate-moving puzzles even resets itself. Another problem is that in order to progress you need to make notes of what you find in journals which tell you how to solve puzzles, open doors etc.
Not a problem in itself you understand, but you end up scribbling down the most bizarre interpretation of what the book said on a scrap of paper and then have to spend ages frantically trying to dig it out once you need it.
It's the only really bad piece of game design, but games kept notes for you ten years ago, and not including it is one heck of a regression. If you can get past the silly conversion errors I still can't believe they left out an "exit" option and knew about it and the default controls, there's a decent game lying underneath.
It'll only take you a good weekend to get through it but there are enough alternative routes and Easter eggs to make you come back for more. It has to be said, though, that it's getting on a bit now. The sequel is available on the Playstation, and there are any number of Resident Evil style shooters on the market to make Dino Crisis very easy to overlook. If you can get it cheap from a bargain bin then it'd be OK, but whatever you do, don't pay full price. Screenshots from MobyGames. Ahmad 0 point.
Found the source next version the one that works with dino crisis classic re birth just by googling "dino crisis sourcenext download" It's the first link from archive org. Amyrakunejo points. Sweet Mercy. One can make a copy of the PC version, no problem, and it'll run just fine on another PC. Now, with that out of the way, I have played the PC version, and aside from the controls being customizable, what's difference? Not much. So what? I'm okay with that. A femme protag?
Yeah, I like that. No, I'm not 'one of those "dUdEs" that pretends to be a girl', I am a girl, a femme, and I love these older games, so you all can sit back, strap in, and shut up.
Tydyman -4 points. I played both versions, and can tell you there is huge difference. Well, actually I can't tell I played the pc version.
I should say I tried to play it, and I couldn't. Like the guy said in the description, this is one of the worst ports ever made. It is like Capcom gave the task to a game developing 1st year students or something like that.
