Gameplay: Survival Horror

Published by: Capcom Entertainment

Developed by: Capcom Co.

Released: 2000

Platform: PlayStation (PSX, PS1)

The key differences with the original version of the game become clear from the very beginning. That is why, fans of survival horror either immediately recoil in horror, or they will accept the game as an innovation. While Dino Crisis was a well-told, straightforward story, the sequel is more sporadic in content. The game is divided into a series of small scenes within which a common storyline unfolds, thanks to a sequence of separate stages covering five local sites. As you explore these areas and the appearance on the scene of the necessary dinosaurs, the system of screen scoring will give you extra points for each reptilia, which you will be able to cause damage. After completing the next five scenes, these points will be added up and added to the total score, and if you manage to pass the site without harm to yourself, or if you shoot one shot at the targets you are facing, you will receive additional points in reward.

Although all this can easily be regarded as the fact that the art of playing becomes more superficial, this trade in points by installments really works, because it allows you to integrate your successes in the game. Instead of handing out weapons in exchange for collected keys, card doors opening and so on, Dino Crisis 2 allows players to buy everything they want, provided they have a really thick wallet. Throughout the game, computer Banks are scattered, which act as both conservation points, and as vending machines with weapons and equipment.

Dinosaurs Dino Crisis 2, which can be seen from a distance or guess about their approach through the rustle of leaves, are just as clever as those that were torn to pieces by Bob Peck in Jurassic Park. To begin with, now they attack in groups of three, and it seems that they appear out of nowhere. Predators will try to evade the flank of the player, attacking from a distance, although the matter is simplified by the fact that this cunning trick remains unchanged throughout the game. In Dino Crisis 2 removed a limited weapon system that was in the previous game. Now players receive cash rewards for every dinosaur they have won, and for extraordinarily skillful murder receive additional rewards. Thus, you do not have to wait until the end of the game to get these coveted flamethrowers and rocket launchers.

Plot

Since the incident Capture Of The Dr. Kirk was 1 year old. The government is continuing research on the Third Energy issue. Unfortunately, there is another rather terrible cataclysm: the city of Edward City, in which research is being conducted on the problem of the third energy, unexpectedly disappears completely, and the government is building a special Time Gare to return all research results and save scientists themselves. It decides to send a special team back in time and to locate the city of Edward City in space and time. And no one can even imagine what happened in the city of Edward City, except Regina.

Tips

Question: I managed to find only 10 Dino Files. Tell me where can I find the last 11th?

Answer: As we understand, you missed the Dino File Mosasaurus. You can find it in the second part of the script, when you play for Regina in the 3rd Energy Facility. It lies on the table in the control room, next to the Toolbox Key.

Question: Tell me, please, where can I find the gas mask Gas Mask?

Answer: You'll find the mask after you defeat T-Rex at the end of the Edward City section, playing for Dylon, and you'll have to use the tank.

• Mosquitoes will get your character out when he has a bleeding. They do not cause any damage, do not reduce the HP level. but will distract him, and he will become more vulnerable to dinosaur attacks. You can, of course, kill mosquitoes, but then new ones will fly in, and you'll just waste your ammunition. Especially since you do not receive any EP for the killing of insects. Therefore, immediately take any medication or go to the point of shipment. If you manage to buy a special costume Inner Suit, then the bleeding will stop immediately. Even if you get wounds, you can play until the end of the game, absolutely not worrying about the loss of blood.
• During the game you will find the points of shipment and stores (Save Points and Shops). They look like blue screens located in the walls. Go to the blue screen, press the X button, and a menu with two options will appear: Shop and Save. Use the Save option to remember the game, and try to do it as soon as possible.

You can spend points here to buy weapons (Weapons), equipment (Tool), ammunition (Magazine) and drugs (Recovery). Press the X button to select the appropriate option. It is best to buy weapons and armor at the earliest opportunity. Stock up with medicines in the Recovery option, but it's better not to buy them, but to try to find them in the course of the game, then they will get to you for free. When the ammunition runs out, select the Magazine option and reload your weapon. Weapons can be fully loaded throughout the game, but when you buy weapons. You need to know its characteristics, so as not to waste money, but to acquire only what is needed, and the best.
• The dinosaur is dead only when it lies on the ground in a pool of blood, and the value of the earned EP Value points appears at the top of the game screen.
• Use any objects, containers, tables, etc .. to hide from dinosaur attacks. If you manage to take a position for an object, it will be easier to deal with some enemies. * Try to take a position in the corner or stand with your back to the wall. In this case, the dinosaur can not attack from behind, and it is easier for you to kill it when it attacks from the front.
• Try to counter-attack the dinosaur, then you have more chances to win, and you will earn more points. Often you can hear the approaching dinosaur, so prepare to attack, take the best position, select a weapon, and at the same time a secondary (sub weapons), and immediately counterattack as soon as you see it. If you are attacked in an open space and can not detect a shelter, then use the R2 button. Then you can repel dinosaur attacks even from two sides at once. To do this, press and hold the R2 button, then press the R1 button and the X button to perform the attack. You can also use the L1 and R1 buttons. to open fire on the dinosaur.

Do not forget this, because the most important task is to survive. Press the Left / Down / Right and Triangle buttons. to take a step to the side or step back. These maneuvers will allow you to dodge the formidable attacks. In the defense is very useful to use other maneuvers. For example, you can get away, run zigzag, dodge attacks, etc. If you have a Firewall wall at your disposal, then you can use it to set a wall of fire around yourself. After that, turn around and attack the enemy.
• Continuously move and do not stand in open territories. Try to reach the shelter in time, and then counterattack the dinosaurs. Try to dodge attacks on open territories, and when reptiles start chasing you, lure them into the territory where you can hide behind some object, and then destroy them. More often use the D-pad to dodge dinosaur attacks.
• Doors and stairs - places are quite safe, because dinosaurs can not attack you while you are on the stairs or in the doorway.
• Carefully inspect the territory to see in advance where the dinosaur can jump on you, and attack as soon as you see it. For example, in a cave (Cave), when you play for Dylan, Inostrancevia can jump out of a small cave. Stand at the entrance to the cave, attack Chainmine when it pops out to turn it upside down with your belly, and then finish using Solid Cannon. Go beyond the screen, and then quickly return to their original place, finish off the dinosaur and then repeat this process. You can thus gain a huge number of points and become virtually invincible. This strategy should be used in the game as often as possible.
• If you are injured and bleeding started, use Hemostat or Med Rak L first aid kit, or you will very soon die. When the lifebar begins to flash in red, the danger is very high. When you buy an Inner Suit suit or light armor Light-Ewight Armor, you can not be afraid of bleeding.
• At the earliest opportunity, buy a gold card (Gold EPS card). It doubles the number of EP points for killing each dinosaur, and therefore, you have the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of weapons and equipment.
• Stay in the middle of the road as you walk through the jungle. Thus, you will be able to see a dinosaur in time, which will try to attack you.
• As you understand, you need to run as often as possible. To do this, just press the desired button on the D-pad. However, if you carry a heavy two-handed weapon in your hands, then naturally, the pace of your movement will slow down and you will be able to move only at the pace of walking. When you have more light weapons in your hands, you can open fire even on the run.
• When you play Hard difficulty mode, the weapon costs twice as much, and the number of medical "preparations" that you can have at your disposal is half the time. The remaining indicators are the same as in the Normal difficulty mode. But, as you know, this is enough for a hard life.
• To scramble up the stairs and open the doors, you need to press the X button. To jump off the eaves, jib, container, or other object, you also need to press the X button.
• Doors, overgrown with vines can be opened by cutting these thickets with their machetes. Select the machete, press the Circle button to cut all the vines that close the door, and you can go into it.
• Doors with electronic locks can open Regina, using their stun-gun. Select this weapon, click the Circle button. aiming just above the lock and you can open the door.
• In the course of the game, try to use smaller large first aid kits. Medium kits (Medium) with Haemostat are practically the same. However, a large first aid kit takes considerably more space in your inventory.
• By pressing the R2 button. You will rotate 180 degrees. A very useful technique, especially when enemies attack from behind. You will need it very much in the final stages of the game.
• When you are attacked by a large number of enemies, it is best to turn around and escape from them, taking a comfortable position. If they rush after you in close rows, then you can literally one shot destroy three or four enemies when they are in a tight group or on a straight line.
• Your character takes aim at the enemy if you hold down the R1 button, but you can only fire from your main weapon. If there are several enemies, press the R1 button while aiming to change the target. From the secondary weapon Sub-Weapon can shoot at any time, but keep in mind that the shot will be carried out in the direction in which you are looking.
• Sometimes you can go through the level, having met literally only 3-4 enemies, but destroying them. You get too few points and can not buy decent weapons. Try to walk around the level to meet as many enemies as possible and do not leave the level when you are attacked. Usually in each zone you are attacked by up to 25 enemies and, destroying them, you can really earn enough points.
