What's wrong with Gamespot?First said that Ps1 version is great,then that Pc one is a mediocre port of a MEDIOCRE game?
Interesting puzzles all around, though sometimes action is little boring, overall immersive, but I definitely prefer the sequel which have better motivating plot, faster action and great controls. The problem is the graphics that is too much grainy and few coloured (almost everything is grey) and the music and sound effects are kind of repetitive, mostly there's silence in the several locations and the story is quite dispersive and pretextual. The main character is cool, although her body and outfit is not exactly elegant nor that sexy (see the huge pants on the big butt). The other characters are average, but yet quite stereotyped. The english dubbing lacks of intensity, especially in the most dramatic parts.
However though not perfect, in its own way, this first Dino Crisis is a little big classic. Just get the original version.
