Resident Evil 2

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 5 / 8

This game comes with 2 discs(1 for each character). The game has incredable value and will make you play it over and aover again! Believe me, I have played the game 30 times(getting the full story line). The game has 3 modes. 1. Hunk- a secret character armed with a VP70(Leon's gun),shotgun,and a Desert Eagle 6.0(magnum). 2. Tofu- secret character armed with a combat knife, will tax your running skills. 3. Extreme Battle Mode- you play a mission to get 4 antiviral bombs to blow up a train, during game play you can unlock 2 new levels. By playing each new level you unlock a secret character, I won't spoil it for you. The actual game has challenging puzzles and enemies. If you have plyed the first game, you wil find out who made the T-Virus, a bioweapon that turns a person into a zombie. A new virus is also introduced, the G-Virus. The two main characters are Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. As each character you will find at least one survivor. As you progress through he game you will get new destructive weapons. Leon, in general, gets the best weapons while Claire gets less powerful weapons. In this game fighting is not always the best course of action. The reason is that it sometimes wastes ammunition, and can lead to shortages in medical supplies that could be used for situations that you need to fight. Overall this game is an excellent masterpiece. This is still my favorite game, even after 4 years.

Two thumbs WAY UP for Resident Evil 2!

Hi, everybody! I am just going to talk and say that Resident Evil 2 is one of the best games out there, and in my opinion, it's even better that Nemesis! I guess it is because of the gameplay, and how there are two disks total in the set! And it is also so cool how you can also just pop in the 1st or 2nd disk and can play with either Leon or Claire in the very beginning! And with this copy, the Dual Shock edition, there is an Arrange mode, where you can start off with 3 HUGE weapons with unlimited ammo! They even start you off with a rocket launcher! How cool is that? It is just so fun to see the zombie's body parts blow up all over the place! To me, the best handgun is the Magnum, especially in the end, when you can get the added part to it to make it even stronger! It's cool, because when you shoot Zombies, it automatically aims for thier heads!

The main boss in this game is William, who is a man who made the G-Virus. These people from Umbrella tried to take itfrom him and when he moved, they shot at him! Then when he was on the ground, they took the sample and left. He then took the G-Virus and drank it! The people from Umbrella then get slaughtered to death by the mutated William! And now, he's after Leon and Claire! It's up to you to save Racoon City and the survivors (if there are any)! Destroy the zombies and William and you will be joyful about finishing this wonderful game, wanting to play it over and over again! Trust me, it is definately worth buying! No matter what the price!

the best in the series; flat out awesome

STORYLINE: Resident evil 2 places you into the boots of Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield (your choice), who after arriving into Raccoon City realize that its infested with man eating zombies, giant spiders, and other things you can't even imagine. Unfortunately, simply driving out of the town in a car will not cut it, so you'll have to guide 'em through such places as research facilities and police stations to find an alternate escape. Along the way you'll discover the story behind all the chaos and come across many plot twists, and you'll meet some nice, and others bizzare, characters along the way.
PROS: This games replay value is off the charts. There are so many hidden features (two hidden characters, and an alternate scenario for the two main characters) that you won't want to drop this game for a very long time. The action and suspense levels are also mind blowing, as you tackle down hordes of the zombies and much worse enemies with pistols, grenade launchers, and magnums. Graphics, control, and sound all hit the bullseye with this game.
CONS: Voice acting is absolutely horrible. Each characters voice is monotone and has no feeling behind it. Though it hurts the game, its not so effective that you hate the game; its only a minor, minor problem.
OVERALL: a must have game if you are a Playstation owner. The storyline and gameplay makes Resident Evil 2 one of the best PSone games to own.

This is by far my Favorite Game!!

If you are thinking of buying this game, do not hesitate... I have played this game all the way through twice, and I am about ready for another go at it. When my husband first bought it, I thought, "Oh great, just another shoot 'em up game." Then I started watching him play, and I got so into it that I couldn't wait for it to be my turn. The replay value is great, and I guarantee that this game will not let you down.

The Scariest of the Series

This game is the scariest Resident Evil game. I have come to this conclusion by the number of times I have jumped while playing the game. If there is a game that is second scariest, it would be Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. RE3 will make you very paranoid because you know that Nemesis is following you and you never know when he will show up. If you run, he will chase you. Just don't play the game with headphones!

A REAL WINNER !!

While a tab worse graphics than RE3 Nemesis this game's storyline is better. Also if your thinking of buying RE3:Dual Shock or Greatest Hits get this one. This one has a new mode-Rookie Mode that lets you play and if you are a rookie you can practice in rookie mode to get and start out with guns in the real mode. I have RE1,2,3 and Veronica along with Survior and by a short not with RE3 this one is better than them all. RE3 may look better but when you fighting in the middist of battle do you really care if the zombies have 200 different shades of gray? Also in RE3 You have to wait a long time to get another charector in RE2 you choose straight at the begining. A list of my ranks: Graphics:B+ Sound:A- Gameplay:A Plot:A+ Get thiss game!

this game is the greatest!

2 words- GREAT GAME

The Best Action Video Game

This is the best game I have ever played. It is extremly gory and is not for kids under 17, but I played it anyway. The graphics are very good for such an old game. The storyline is confusing if you didnt play the first one. I have the first one, and my brother read Resident Evil: 1 book. It isnt hard to beat. The Infinite Ammo code helps alot. That is why I love this game.

Izo-Zombies galore and loads of scares and gore

I'am from the U.K. so there might be some differences between the U.S.A. and U.K. version. (That I don't know). This game is an excellent horror flick with a surprisingly good plot which is optional because there are two different story lines one is for Claire Redfield the other is Leon S.Kennedy. Their charactors are different thus their personal goals are as well.The starting sequence talks about Resident Evil 1 and how Umbrella Corp created the T-Virus which was for bio technology which mutated humans into zombies. With simply using still or moving images this is a good way of back tracking thus getting you started for the game itself.

There are to seperate sequences for both Claire and Leon which mould into one when they meet each other.Through out this game these sequences are of a high quality, even better most probably on the P.C. version. They grip the player by using the techniques of music, sound-effects and good voice acting.

Within the game they create terror and unnerve the player by using music and also the sounds and movements of the creatures and zombies.The deranged "camera" angles around corners and angles even so its harder to kill your enemy.The dingy music and back/fore ground play the part mostly of unnerving the player.

The simple scares which make you jump even for a split secound can put you off the game.

The story un folds slowly as you are picking up puzzles to get to next section of the game.each charactor meets a "mystery" person Claire meets a little 12 year-old girl called Sherry Birkin. While Leon meets a woman called Ada Wong. (This is later in the game depnding on how fast you are.) This might give a sense of achievment to the player for getting this far.The story unfolds about a another monster stalking the police station. This I will leave as it would be telling to much.

Overall this game is brilliant relying on scares,gore and a good story line it'll either scare you. Please you or in some cases bore you. But! This game should be accounted for as one of the best horror game sequals of all time!

P.S. These examples are for gamers playing this for the first time.The fear factor depends on thr personality as well as being experienced.
