The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Oh yeah?


Released in 2000, Dino Crisis 2, the sequel to the original Dino Crisis, picks up one year later, and, unlike its predecessor, is more of an action game rather than a horror game. This game, released a year before Jurassic Park 3, shared similarities with the third JP movie.

What were at least 2 of these similarities?

:p  No, I'm looking for 2 events that occurred in Dino Crisis 2 that were similar to what occurred in Jurassic Park 3.

Sorry, that's incorrect.  Sam Neill plays no part in Dino Crisis 2.

Sorry it took so long for me to answer. I forgot. ^^;

I do have a few ideas, though I never played the game.  Characters being attacked on a boat, scary dinosaur encounter in a lab full of broken incubation tubes, being attacked by flying dinosaurs on a metal bridge in a fog.

That's all I can think of right now.

Sorry. With the move and all, this kind of slipped my mind. Anyway I'll get back to this ASAP. Still adjusting to this new house.

I'll accept the first one. I hadn't really thought of that before. But you're right. There is a scene where Regina and Dylan are attacked on the boat, like how Grant and the others were attacked on a boat in the movie.

I'm not so sure about the second one. I don't recall there being a scary encounter in a lab full of broken tubes in Dino Crisis 2.

As for the third one, I don't know. There are Pteranodons that attack, but it's not on a bridge, more of a catwalk above water (or does that count as a bridge?) and there's no fog.

Got anymore guesses?

Hmm...  I'm trying to think of all other interesting possibilities besides the ones I mentioned...

1.  Being pursued by a nasty dinosaur alongside a HUGE fence while trying to find a way to the other side of this fence.

2.  Getting lost in a forest and surrounded by raptors. (sounds a little broad)

3.  Hiding in an overturned truck while dinosaurs walk around you.

That's all I can think up right now...

I'll accept that answer.

One major similarity that I hadn't seen anyone guess was the similarity between JP3 Spinosaurus and DC2 Giganotosaurus. Both were inaccurately portrayed (stronger than they should be, Giganotosaurus was bigger than it should have been and more durable than it probably was in real life, and Spinosaurus was portrayed as an unstoppable monster rather than a fish-eater like it probably was in real life), both replaced the T-Rex was "the main bad guy", both easily killed the T-Rex,and both performed feats that should have been impossible (Spinosaurus broke its neck even though it didn't have the neck or jaw power to do that and Giganotosaurus was able to pick up and throw the T-Rex with just its mouth even though T-Rex was an extremely heavy animal and it's unlikely that a Giganotosaurus could actually carry that much weight with their jaws).

Anyway it's your turn, Mirumoto_Kenjiro.

Wow, that never rolled into my mind.  Anyway, here's a rather easy one:

What two video games contained unusual crossover characters from other popular...well, media?

Not the ones I'm thinking of...  I never actually played either games.  The targets of this question in fact have same general name, but have obviously been released at different times and on multiple consoles.
