Dino Crisis is one of the pinnacle examples of the survival horror genre. Take the mold RE helped popularize, replace zombies with dinosaurs, and you get the initial idea for what DC entails, but it goes beyond that: dinosaurs easily provide a tougher challenge, and so resource and ammo conservation becomes all the more important to manage correctly. Additions to your arsenal, such as sleep darts and medicine mixtures, become a whole mini-game onto themselves, while learning to use your environment to your advantage becomes critical as well. The game really tests your mettle and critical thinking skills not only in its minute-to-minute gameplay, but with the engaging puzzles in the DDK system, which ramp up in difficulty over the course of the game, and has you breaking codes to unlock doors. Of course, a horror game is nothing without a fantastic atmosphere, and the game's quiet, sterile hallways combined with a minimal electronic-pulsing score juxtaposes cleanly with the fantastic scenarios you find yourself in, especially in the game's gorier moments. You may find the story a little goofy, but the characters are endearing for the most part and there's even some story choices you can make for extra replayability.

DC 2 pushes the survival horror into the background for a more action arcade-focused experience that's a ton of fun! It instead focuses more on blasting dinos and racking up combos than exploring the environment and puzzle solving, but there is still some of that to be found here too. Story is even more batshit crazy. Great game but it depends on what you're in the mood for, and I prefer the first myself.
