Dino Crisis is a popular game from Capcom Survival Horror - that is, without doubt, the master of survival horror (they are the creators of the series Resident Evil, after all). In Dino Crisis 3 for PS2 apply the role of Patrick Tyler, the leader of an elite team of the space station to investigate a mysterious series of events. The game is a new survival horror game (like Resident Evil), but when the dinosaurs were the main enemyinstead of zombies.

The Dino Crisis 3 PS2 version of the game takes on an abandoned space station (like the plot of the film Alien), where you must try to survive against a horde of enemies approaching mutants. The series has a lot through the movie Jurassic Park, as the two share the same basic concept (of being dinosaurs back to life and then) goes on a rampage.

A major criticism of Dino Crisis 3 PS2 version of the game are not enemies of the dinosaurs --Foreigners who are transferred / creatures. Has the charm of the game, and is finally returned as the reason for the fourth game was never made. In addition, fans of the series have not been major changes to the game, and that these complaints reflect the weakness in sales (compared to other games Dino Crisis).

Other critics of the game, there is a shortage of weapons to choose from, which leads to a lack of depth in the game. Only two differentGuns were for use during the game available, so that the game is hard and unoriginal. However, the developers have not forgotten the tension is evident, creating a game exciting and scary, and DC3 full of surprises that make you directly.
