Dino Crisis

About the game

In 1999 Capcom took the survival horror formula it had built with Resident Evil and turned it on its head: instead of the walking dead, you face dinosaurs. Dino Crisis was directed by Shinji Mikami, and unlike Resident Evil’s painted backgrounds, its rooms and corridors are fully 3D, with raptors that can follow you from room to room.

The story

Special agent Regina and her team are sent to the remote Ibis Island to bring back Dr Edward Kirk, a scientist who was believed to be dead. Kirk has been working on a new power source called Third Energy. When the team arrive, the research facility is silent, and something with teeth has got there first.

Choices you make along the way change how the story ends. Our cheats page explains how to reach every ending.
