About Dino Crisis 2
STORY SECTION
A year has passed since the operation to retrieve Dr. Kirk.
Third Energy, both a source of "ultimate clean energy" and a potential "ultimate weapon," has proven to be dangerously unpredictable.
The government, having taken control of the project from Dr. Kirk, continued its development.
Then, the “accident” happened once again.
The research city of Edward City was completely destroyed in an explosion from the Third Energy reactor—an event far more catastrophic than the previous accident.
In response, the government launched a rescue mission to retrieve the research data and any remaining personnel.
To reach Edward City, believed to have been displaced in time by the reactor’s explosion, the government deployed an experimental, untested “time gate” device to send a rescue team back in time.
No one could foresee the consequences of this mission—except one person: Regina…
Here’s some of the adjustments we made:
Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
All 2 localizations of the game included (English, Japanese).
Easy difficulty, Dino Colosseum and Dino Duel included.
Improved DirectX game renderer.
New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more).
Improved music playback and volume scaling.
Improved item rendering and fogging.
Improved cartridge boxes alignment.
Issue-free video playback, task switching and game exit.
Support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.

※WARNING※ The difference of each settings may be difficult to distingush depending on the environment
As is now tradition, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit how Dino Crisis 2 was described back in 2000:
In addition to “Regina,” the main character continues from the previous work, “Dylan” also makes an appearance
The number of weapons you can handle has increased, so use the characteristics of each to overcome difficult challenges!
More than 10 types of dinosaurs. The number of dinosaurs attacking at once has doubled!
The game takes place in the world of the Cretaceous Period...
he stage has moved from the facility-centered setting of the previous game to the world of the Cretaceous Period. Dinosaurs attack players in various scenes, including jungles, caves, lakes, and some buildings eroded by plants!
This re-released version of the game was co-developed by GOG.

The switch away from survival horror works in the same sense of going from [i]Alien[/i] to [i]Aliens[/i], and there's fun to be had as the gameplay feels like step between [i]Resident Evil 3[/i] and [i]4[/i], sharing some similar set piece escalation as the latter. The story here is more ambitious as well compared to its predecessor, albeit having more favour toward new protagonist Dylan Morton than fan-favourite Regina Besides the usual PC port technical difficulties associated with PS1 titles (with a strong recommendation to install Mulderland's Enhancement Pack in the community guide before playing), [i]Dino Crisis 2[/i] is criminally sh…
REMAKE THIS PLEASE! dino crisis 2 was my favorite game back in the day.
One of the dumbest games I have ever played, I guess it was fun. Someone once compared it to RE4... no, just no. It is not the RE4 of the series, it's just very mindless run and gun where every screen transition the dinos respawn and you just blast them away in one or two shots with what might as well be infinite ammo. Dino Crisis 1 is a Resident Evil style game with a messy combat and a tad too much puzzling, while Dino Crisis 2 is basically no puzzles and a 'turn your brain off and shoot' style of game. The game made me think it was made to be for the arcades but ended up being a "full game" instead.
It is a fun game on it's own, but it isn't better than Dino Crisis 1. A huge departure from Survival Horror to Action.
Legit one of the most fun games I've ever played.
Dino Crisis 2 is a fun action game, but it's also quite a departure from the original. If you're expecting another slow-paced survival horror experience, you might be disappointed. However, if you enjoy arcade-style action with dinosaurs, there's still plenty to like. The gameplay is fast, satisfying, and encourages you to keep moving rather than conserving every bullet. The combo and point system adds a nice layer of replayability, and mowing down packs of dinosaurs can be genuinely enjoyable. The environments are varied, and the game rarely overstays its welcome. On the downside, the shift away from survival horror means much of the tension from the first game is gone. The story is fairly simple, the voice acting is hit-or-miss, and some sections can become repetitive. It's also a relatively short game, though that can work in its favor if you're looking for a weekend playthrough. Overall, Dino Crisis 2 may not capture the atmosphere of its predecessor, but it succeeds as a fun, action-focused spin on the series. It's not perfect, but it's an enjoyable classic that's still worth playing, especially if you're a fan of dinosaurs and old-school Capcom games.
