wow. So the pros first, since I do think this game is a bit too unfairly treated. This game is already interesting to me on principal due to it being an original xbox exclusive dino crisis game that literally nobody talks about, so the fact that it takes place in god damn SPACE with CYBORG MUTANT ZOMBIE DINOSAURS is the icing on the cake. The game graphically looks good, even if it goes a bit too hard into making EVERYTHING reflective, but I appreciate it. The plot is bonkers and could easily be described as what happens if you threw 2001 a space odyssey, alien, and jurassic park into a blender, so the game is constantly entertaining in that end. The game even has more action focused gameplay to distance itself even more from being just "resident evil with dinosaurs", which is cool. Where it all falls apart, unfortunately, is the camera. The camera in this game is probably one of, if not then THE worst camera i have ever used in a video game. Constant camera cuts and camera movement make navigating the already rather linear spaceship extremely disorienting, as there will be plenty of times where you get spun around unknowingly and go back the exact way you came. Combat also consists of mashing the shoot button and letting the extremely generous auto aim let you know if there are any enemies offscreen, and there usually are. The game as a whole is really entertaining to experience but not very fun to actually play. If the camera was better then I think this game would have a much better rep among people. Definitely not something i could honestly recommend, but if you are curious like me and kind of know what you are gonna get yourself into, this game can be a hell of a time.
