Rogue15 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I just bought this game yesterday without renting it. Circuit City had it for $30, i decided to check out CompUSA, and looked, and saw Dino Crisis 1 for $15, but no Dino Crisis 2...so I looked some more, and I found the LAST copy of it!!! And I checked the price, and it was only $20!! TAKE THAT YOU STUPID RIPOFF CIRCUIT CITY!!!! ehehehehehehehehehehehehe I got home, put in the game, watched the intro, which is VERY cool, it felt like watching a real movie, and not some game movie. It was in FMV of course. The character dialogue wasn't bad, they barely say anything unless it's important. Then I go to play the game. All the dinosaurs look and move so realistically!!! They respawn occasionally, which is good, cause you need to kill them to get 'extinction points', which is money, and you use the extinction points to buy weapons, ammo, increased ammo capacity, health, and other things. There isn't any 'level', it's just one big world with 'sections', meaning when you exit one 'area', or go off the screen, it takes like a second to catch up, and you're there, and if a dinosaur is chasing you, he can still get you. I guess they put it this way to keep a constant framerate, and that's good. At first I thought it was kinda dumb, but now that I've gotten used to it, it all makes sense. The sections and rooms are VERY detailed, outside, there's vines, leaves, trees, bushes, fences, abandoned broken down trucks, carcasses of people, etc. You can go up to the various objects, and press a button, and it'll bring up some information about it, say there's a dead guy, well, i go up and press the X button, and it tells me how he was probably killed, pretty disgusting, but very cool. Also in the areas, you'll look for 'dino files' which gives you information on each dinosaur, it looks as if one of the survivors on the world wrote it, cause they give a story on the way the dino acts, and people have been dissapearing probably because of it. And it tells possible ways of fighting it. The guns are REALLY awesome, there's quite a few, they all cost pretty much, but they're worth it, there's the shotgun, flamethrower, machine gun, dual mp5s, machette, electric rod, firewall, chainmines, antitank rifle (currently my favorite , a pistol, and some others I forgot about or haven't found yet. You'll need to do alot of backtracking, it's mostly your own fault tho, for forgetting about an area or not using the map. You'll need to find keys to unlock doors to areas, and stuff like that. There's not really any puzzle solving in it, except finding your way around, it took me like 2 hours of constant backtracking this morning just cause I didn't know I had to go through this area with pteranodons, and forgot all about it. When I did go there, I found a new room, and was confused since i was trying to get the key to work, and wasn't standing in front of the key slot when i used it, so I went on a wild backtrack before trying again and it worked. hehehe So far, i've encountered 2 types of velociraptor, dilophosaurus, allosaurus, pteranodon, tyrannosaurus rex, Plesiasaurus, Mosasaurus, Compy (had to trap him, that was cool), Iverchadon (spelling is not correct) and I spotted a herd of Triceratops. So there's like 2 I haven't seen yet. And some non dinosaurs, such as those giant dragonfly.. So far, I've been playing the game a little over 10 hours (no, not straight!!!) And it's REALLY fun. I can't wait to fight some of the bigger dinosaurs, such as Triceratops. I give the game a 9, cause the music....well, the music sucks (but at least it's not played CONSTANTLY).

Rogue15 Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 whoa, this game just got better!!!!! I encountered 2 new dinosaurs, Triceratops...that was AWESOME!!! i got to shoot at a heard of them from the back of a jeep!! they tried to ram the jeep that was SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! and then the video after that was SOOOOOO DAAAAARRRRNNN AAAAAWWWWEEESSSSOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best graphic FMV EVER!!!!! The next dinosaur I encountered/am encountering is the Gigantosaurus. Step aside you glory hogged rex! Gigantosaurus is 50% bigger than you!!! It's impossible to kill that thing!!! It took out the Tyrannosaur, and then you gotta deactivate something and it's in this room trying to eat you!! AHHHHH!!!!!! hehehe i love this game. It has more action than Jurassic Park 3! Have to take breaks from it like every time I die (the gigantosaur ate me), cause the action just wears me out! S1DC, give this game a rent. (or better yet, buy it!!!) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 ...Gigantosaurus was a barely larger than T-Rex. If you saw them together, they'd look the same size. But, ok, it does sound cool. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1DC Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Oh, red, i didn;t know you've seen dinosaurs before. wow, that must have been neat. its too bad that HALF THE ACCEPTED DATA ON THEM HAS BEEN CHANGED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I'm sure your info is flawed... heh heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle d'Tana Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 hey r15, it seems that you like that game very much! But i dont like it! i dunno why, but i don't like it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 why don't you like it? Lemme guess, it's not like the first. The first was waaaaaay more scary. lol lol lemme look up some dino stats... Got this off a good website, dinosauricon.com or something like that. Giganotosaurus (i spelled the name wrong b4): LENGTH: 13.5 m to 14.3 m MASS: 6 tonnes to 8 tonnes Tyrannosaurus Rex: LENGTH: T. rex: 10 m to 14 m MASS: T. rex: 4.5 tonnes to 7 tonnes looks like you're right. I need to get the dino file in the game to see what they say its stats are... ok, its stats are: Length: over 20 meters Height: over 7 meters I think they're guessing that the fossils of the one that's been discovered was a young Giganotosaurus...

Rogue15 Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 Well, I beat the game. It unlocked something tho, umm..Dino Arena or something, it's pretty cool, I'm playing it again trying to get some more points so I can unlock some more characters to use in it. I missed like 2 or 3 dino files. It's cool how I can pick up a game and like beat it in 2 days...my game time was 8 hours and 21 minutes. I'll do better this time around. hehe.

CaptainRAVE Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I've actually never played the game. Is it any good?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 ya, it's not scary though. Don't know WHY it's called survival horror...well i guess you could say the Giganotosaurus is scary, but that's near the end. lol It's more of a 3rd person shooter with clues and keys, etc. I'm on my 2nd time through it, and have gotten 3/4 way through it in like 3 hours (been playing straight through lol) If you've played 'Jurassic Park' for super nintendo, it's kinda like that, except there's no 1st person mode whenever u enter a building. That's why I like it so much. I'm definetely going to get Dino Crisis 1 once I beat dc2 a few more times and get really good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 1, 2002 Author Share Posted February 1, 2002 yes!! beat it again! It's so fun!!! The end 'boss' is so cool, probably the scariest thing in the game other than the pterodactyls. The ending is so awesome too Dino Crisis 3!!!!!! The credits just got done rolling, let's see what I got... oooooooohhh kkk........i beat it in 4 hours 20 minutes and 29 seconds. My money is 358,882 and i got 9/11 dino files (i didn't bother lol) and my rank is B. ok i added velociraptor and allosaurus to the 'dino colliseum arena thing' hehe ah, i also got Dino Duel, but it's 2-players only...I used the allosaurus and i went through and I killed the T. Rex with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted February 2, 2002 Author Share Posted February 2, 2002 yes, i am. It's going to end up being like Turok 3...i'll be beating it once a day! lol I can beat T3 in 2 1/2 hours, and i did that for like 5 days straight. At least this game has tons of stuff, including a rating system to keep me playing alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 @S1DC: What are you talking about?!? @R15: Toldja so Actually, the reason is because of all the hype that "whoooo there's a bigger carnosaur than T-Rex!! Let's not bother to check HOW big, let's just supersize T-Rex!!" Oh hey, you got it off the dinosauricon? That's a pretty cool site...used to go there a TON a year ago...while I still had DSL for the pictures =/ Wait...there's a dino duel?!?! That sounds totally awesome.

Rogue15 Posted February 2, 2002 Author Share Posted February 2, 2002 Well, the Giganotosaurus looks COMPLETELY different than t. rex. in the one cutscene, it showed it killing T. Rex, it had the t. rex's head in its mouth...you'd need to actually see the movie to tell if it's to scale or not. btw, being able to play as the different dinosaurs is really fun.

Rogue15 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 Well, now I have Dino Crisis 1. Picked it up at a funcoland like place today for only $12. It's pretty scary too. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 YES!!!!!!!!!! The game has finally stumped me!!!!!! I'm confused as to what I'm supposed to do next, this is so cool!! It's been AGES, well a few months I guess, since a game has confused me as in what to do and the question comes to my mind 'look up a walkthrough?' and i'm denying myself the privledge. I pretty much have memorized the whole facility, I keep going back and forth through it, I just KNOW the way to get through that door is right there, but i'm not seeing it. Anyways, this game feels more like a survival horror than a shooter, cause guess what? I'M OUTTA AMMO!!!! I've been wasting like over 2+ hours searching for this id card, I recently remembered i forgot to fingerprint this one dude (who i accidentally poisoned in a gas chamber....OOPS! a raptor would've got him anyways, cause it broke in there, so i poisoned that too. heheheheheheheheheheheheh edit: I FINALLY got it. the number i wrote down was right, the 5 looked like a 6 tho, and that's what was holding me up. heheheehheheheheheheheheheh now i'm looking for a 6 digit number for the console that the 2 panel keys revealed. This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
