Complete in Box Plays - Dino Crisis 2 - Part 1
Lads and Ladettes, strap in for some Dino Crisis 2.
We just recently finished up with our Dino Crisis 1 playthrough - it's essentially Resident Evil, but with dinosaurs. And keycodes. Lots... of cards... and keycodes. Dino Crisis 1 is a good game for sure, but has its obvious problems - the three major being 1) all the settings are very generic (sanitized lab, etc), 2) the puzzles and codes are obnoxious, 3) there is literally no reason to ever fight the dinosaurs, as they take too much ammo to do anything.
So, it's like Capcom heard those exact three sentiments 20 years ago and said 'we got you'.
Dino Crisis 2 is completely different from the first game. This game is -much- more action oriented. It's still a survival game, but they essentially dropped the 'horror'. I was personally always a bit apprehensive to trying this title out because of that (just like Parasite Eve 1 is amazing, and 2 changed everything - I never really gave 2 a chance).
Trev's playing on hard mode, so there will be deaths - but as he says, the beginning is by far the hardest part. Smooth(er) sailing afterwards!
