Dino Crisis 2 is a singleplayer cinematic camera survival horror game in the Dino Crisis series.
The game suffers from stability issues and sometimes will not boot unless a wrapper like dgVoodoo 2 is used.[1]
Gamepads are poorly supported or undetected; remapping them is hardly supported; all audio tracks are poorly compressed, loop at random points and generally sound very muffled or not normalized. These issues are resolved by Dino Crisis 2 Classic REbirth.
