Dino Crisis Series Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translations

Dino Crisis (PlayStation) (7.1.99)

Taking the frightening scenarios of Jurassic Park and amplifying them into a full-fledged survival horror game, it's surprising that this Capcom franchise didn't attain an amount of proliferation and success rivaling Biohazard/Resident Evil.

Panic Horror

Spine Card:

Dinosaurs are amazing.

Back:

A roller coaster of Dinosaur Horror.

Dino Crisis 2 (9.13.00)

The strong tension and horror of the original gives way to a more mindless action game in the sequel. Though fans tend to be more fond of the first game, DC2 still reviewed quite well.

Spine card:

There is no way, but to defeat them.

Back:

A magnificent battle with the dinosaurs begins.

Dino Stalker / Gun Survivor 3: Dino Crisis (6.27.02)

I can remember how bizarre it felt to gaze at the game's box art, as it was one of Shinkiro/Toshiaki Mori earliest illustrations for Capcom after being synonymous with SNK for nearly a decade. You know the dinosaurs are mad when even the Triceratops is coming for you.

Dino Crisis 3 (6.26.03)

One of gaming's most bizarre and easily forgotten sequels, the Dino Crisis franchise migrated to the X-Box and was met with negative reception for it's poor controls and camera. Interestingly, the game was originally set to take place in a city being laid to waste by dinosaurs, but the setting was changed due to the recent September 11 attacks.
