Dino Crisis 2 is an action-adventure video game for the PlayStation developed by Capcom in 2000. It is a sequel to the 1999 survival horror game Dino Crisis and was followed by Dino Crisis 3 in 2003
Plot
After the events of the previous game, unsafe research into time-distorting Third Energy has resulted in an entire research base, military institution, and fictional metropolis of Edward City to be transported to another time; along with all of its inhabitants. Secret Operations Raid Team operative Regina returns as one of the main playable characters.
Why It Rocks
- Once again control Regina in another exciting dinosaur-filled adventure, courtesy from the creators of Resident Evil!
- The player switches between controlling Regina and Dylan (another survivor who joins Regina) at specific points during the story.
- Action filled stages in which you score points depending on your performance, which is reminiscent of old arcade games.
- Solver clever puzzles as both characters.
- Old and new terrifying dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
- Once again run for your life at the chilling sight of the infamous T-Rex just like the first game.
- The game abandons the survival-horror from the first game and bring upon a more action oriented gameplay (much to some fans' discontent).
- Much more improved graphics and mechanics from the previous game.
- Epic and beautifully detailed environments.
Reception
The Cincinnati Enquirer gave the game four stars out of five, stating that, "overall, Dino Crisis 2 is a fantastic sequel that delivers more adrenaline-pumping action, beautiful scenery and a hearty dose of terror."
Like its predecessor, Dino Crisis 2 was a commercial success, with the PlayStation version selling 1.19 million copies worldwide. Capcom would later re-release the game for PC, and brought it to PlayStation Network in the US and Japan.
