Dino Crisis 2
System: Playstation
Genre: Adventure
Developer: Capcom
Just when people thought the dinosaur craze was over,
Capcom comes roaring back with the sequel to the pop
ular Dino Crisis. For players who are unfamiliar with the
original game, think Resident Evil but with big extinct
[reptiles instead of zombies.
Complex storyline aside, Dino Crisis 2 is really all
about fighting for survival in a
world that has
[more
jvelociraptors
[than both Jurassic
[Park movies combined.
While the game play is basi-
[cally the same, there is a big dif
ference, in the feel of the game,
between Dino Crisis 2 and the
original game. The first game
was more suspenseful and puz
zle-oriented, but the sequel is
faster-paced and more action-
Ioriented.
From the very beginning,
[there is never a dull moment,
with non-stop barrages of dino
attacks that set the pace for the
majority of the game. This
game is definitely easier to play
and gamers will not get confused
trying to figure out what they should do next, which was
a major problem with the original.
Abundant saving points and lots of health-recovery
items keep the game from being too
hard, and multiple new weapons
keep things interesting. Another
great addition to Dino Crisis 2
is the concept of “extinction
points.” These points are ex
tracted from the dinosaurs
killed and can be used at vari
ous locations to buy any
thing from weapons to
medical equipment.
The graphics are
pretty standard during
the regular game, but a
few of the cut scenes
are impressive.
Also, the sound con
tributes a lot to the
game’s adrenaline
pumping nature.
Dino Crisis 2 is
more enjoyable than
the original because
players are not just
wandering around
waiting for dinosaurs
to attack them.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — The

struggling for equal rights.
