Dino Crisis (ディノクライシス Deinokuraishisu) is a survival horror video game produced by Capcom originally released in 1999 for the Sony Playstation and later ported to Microsoft Windows and Dreamcast in 2000. It was produced and directed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. In the game, a special forces team must find a way to survive in a secret government facility that has been infested with dinosaurs. It features survival horror gameplay similar to the Resident Evil series and was promoted by Capcom as "panic horror". It was followed by two sequels, Dino Crisis 2 and Dino Crisis 3, and a light gun-based spinoff in Capcom's Gun Survivor series, known as Dino Stalker. A Game Boy Color version of Dino Crisis was planned by UK developer M4, but the port was apparently cancelled.[1]
[edit] GameplayThe player character navigates through a series of corridors, most of which contain raptors who will lunge and attack at the protagonist at certain points in the game. The character is able to respond by attacking with a variety of weapons. The player character is alone and must collect ammunition and security keys to gain access to new areas. The game makes use of sound effects, which rise in tension when near an attacker. [edit] Plot[edit] Characters
[edit] StoryThe game takes place on a fictional location known as Ibis Island in the year 2009. The Secret Operation Raid Team (SORT) has sent an agent, Tom, to investigate a research facility. During the recon mission, he learns that Doctor Edward Kirk, a world-renowned scientist who was reported dead three years ago, is leading a secret weapons project within the facility. SORT sends four agents (Regina, Gail, Rick, and Cooper) to acquire Kirk and return him to custody. They arrive onto the island via parachute. Cooper is blown off course and lands in a jungle. A Tyrannosaurus rex appears and chases him a short distance before eating him. The other three agents, unaware of his death, proceed with the mission. Once inside the base, they discover the mutilated and partially devoured corpses of security personnel and scientists. Shortly thereafter, they discover that dinosaurs are the reason behind the bloodbath at the base. After evading and disposing of many dinosaurs, Regina and the team manage to locate Kirk and apprehend him. As they are preparing to leave via helicopter, the T-rex returns and destroys the helicopter, forcing them to flee back into the base. Kirk reveals that the dinosaurs were brought to their time by an experiment he was running using his Third Energy technology. A rift in space was created and a pocket of the island from their time was exchanged with the same from the past, bringing dinosaurs back into their time. As the base becomes infested with more dinosaurs, and the T-rex manages to gain entrance, the team discovers an underground river and a hovercraft. They use the hovercraft to escape before the Third Energy reactors, set to overload by Regina, detonate, wiping out all of the dinosaurs on the island and preventing them from escaping to the mainland. [edit] EndingsThere are three possible endings based on choices made by the player. Near the end of the game, the player has the option to either go after Kirk or find their way off of the island. The first ending (chase Kirk) results in Regina and Gail capturing Kirk. As a twist, Gail reveals that the whole mission was a front and the government did not want Kirk, but instead wanted the Third Energy to use in warfare. Gail gives Regina a disk containing all the data on the Third Energy. Shortly afterwords, Gail dies from injuries suffered earlier in the game. Regina and Rick, during their departure in a watercraft, battle with the T-Rex. Regina kills it using a remote explosive, and they escape with Kirk. The second ending (escape the island) results in Regina, Gail, and Rick escaping without Kirk. During the final battle, Rick fires a rocket from a watercraft. The rocket hits a fuel tank, causing a massive overload in the Third Energy generator and completely disintegrating a portion of Ibis Island in the process killing the T-Rex and all of the other dinosaurs. The three agents escape safely, but the status of Kirk is unknown. The third ending is the "good" ending; it can be achieved by choosing to leave Kirk, but actually going after him. Regina locates Kirk in a hangar, preparing a helicopter to escape in (which becomes their only way of escape because the T-Rex destroyed the hovercraft while she chased Kirk). She knocks Kirk out, and informs Rick of her situation. The T-Rex chases Rick and Gail to Regina's location. The three board the helicopter and flee. During their escape, Rick drops a bomb from the helicopter onto the dinosaur, killing it. All three agents get out alive with Kirk. The game keeps track of how many endings the player has unlocked at the end of the game. After all three endings are found, the player unlocks "Operation: Wipeout", a minigame where the player must eliminate a set amount of dinosaurs in a certain time with limited ammunition. [edit] Reception
Dino Crisis was largely successful both commercially and critically. To date, the game has sold over 2.4 million copies.[2] [edit] Soundtrack
