One of the better N64 games

This is one of the better N64 games if you have the 4meg expansion pack and it's good and creepy but some of the puzzles could have been a bit more easy to figure out but if you don't have an N64 get the GameCube remake as the Graphics are much better but still worth picking up and adding to your N64 collection :)

A must have for every N64 collection

Resident Evil 2 by itself was an outstanding entry in the survival horror genre. The T-Virus has taken over Raccoon City, and you play as either Claire Redfield or Leon Kennedy in a desperate attempt to make it out alive. The graphics, sound, and intentionally stiff controls make gameplay a tense and often nerve-wracking experience, and the intricate storyline draws you in while throwing zombies and other bizzare mutations at you. Plus, after you finish one game, you can go back and play as the other character and experience events from their perspective. Then do the whole thing in reversed order, for up to four different gameplay experiences. And thats not counting the secret missions and other bonus goodies.

Like Capcom did with Street Fighter Alpha 2 for the Super Nintendo, they did the impossible again here and crammed a 2-CD, graphics-heavy game onto a cartridge. Angel Studios did the job, and used massive data compression along with a 512-megabit cartridge to fit everything in. The result is a game pak that is physically heavier than all the other games in your collection. Whats even cooler are the new features, including a high-res graphics option and 5.1 surround. The only thing that takes a hit are the pre-rendered cutscenes, which are pixelated from compression. But its a small price considering no one expected the game to fit at all.

Great for the novelty value, great for the gameplay experience. Resident Evil 2 must be in your N64 collection.

It's quite difficult, too. There's a secret at the first part of the game where you can fight the zombie of Brad Vickers at the police station. Brad is the pilot of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, and he gets killed by the Nemesis in RE3 toward the beginning. Now he's a zombie. If you run through the whole first part of the game up until the police station without getting any items, he'll be down the stairs under the bridge leading into the station. It's harder than it might seem to get through that part of the game with no items. I died five times trying to do it, so be careful if you decide to try it. Check his corpse for a key, which you can use to open the locker in the darkroom for some new costumes (They even make the characters shoot better, somehow...). Both characters move the same speed and fight the same, but it's nice to see how they both interact and meet new characters along the way. The zombies in this game aren't all that scary looking compared to the ones in RE3, which all look like bombing victims. I can't figure out when it is that RE3 takes place because it's like the beginning of that game is before this one starts, but when you reach the police station in RE3, Marvin Branagh is dead, and in this game, he's still alive (Barely, though.). And also, in RE3, the Nemesis crashes through a window in the first floor of the police station but when you find that same window in this game, somehow it's been repaired, as if by magic. That's alright, though, just a small setback. I've been trying to find the extra mini game with Hunk & Tofu that you can somehow unlock in this game and no guide seems to tell me. I've also heard that you can somehow play as Chris at some point, although I don't see why, since he's apparently in Europe when this game takes place. Yeah, I still have a lot to discover, but it's an awesome game. The sound needed work, since it sounds like it's coming through a telephone, but oh well. At least I can understand what they're saying. It was real scary when William Birkin mutated (Trust me) and kills the guy in the prison cell. For a while I actually thought he WAS the Nemesis, because there is a SMALL resemblance. But play this game if you haven't already. It may be hard, but it's among my five favorite RE games. (There only ARE about 5)

Back before Capcom made negotiations with Nintendo to release all of the new Resident Evil games(well the main story ones) first on the Gamecube, Nintendo fans missed out on all of the RE games. So it was nice of Capcom to finally allow the N64 to get a piece of the RE series. Although the FMVs aren't as crisp as the PS1's, the overall graphics look better on the N64. As with the other games in the series, RE2 has you picking a character and basically trying to solve puzzles and collecting items while trying to stay alive. Throughout the game, you are constantly being attacked by zombies and other various mutant creatures. Some people say that RE2 is their favorite game in the series and while I would have to say that RE1 is my favorite, RE2 is still a great game. Don't be afraid though of being freaked out by this game, because it is not scary at all. The other games in the series seem a bit more creepy and startling at times while this game seems more about action most of the time. So if your looking for a great game for your old N64 then this is one of the best out there for it.

Not impressed with B-grade movie game

The graphics are beautiful (hi-res 640x480-better than PS1), but the game didn't scare me. It relies upon B-grade horror, like zombies jumping out from behind doors, and that level of story-telling doesn't scare me.

I prefer "intellectual horror" like you'd find in a Hitchcock film. Games like Eternal Darkness, Clock Tower 3, and Silent Hill. Those are the kinds of games that mess with your psyche & truly scare you.

aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this game scared the crap outta me!!!!

I haven't played very many nintendo 64 games, but this is one game i had to check out. The graphics were awesome, the music was awesome, the characters in the game itself were one of the best i've seen. It had great action, and was very complex to beat. I reccomend this one to anybody who likes these kind of games or who just loves resident evil.

the best game on N64 ever!

I am a big nintendo freak, I have all the Mario and zelda games for both N64 and GC, but out of all, Resident Evil 2 is my favorite. This is the first RE I've played and I love it. You can play as 2 characters Leon (a Racoon City cop) or Claire (a biker girl looking for her brother, a S.T.A.R.S. member). You can adjust the violence level and blood colour for your viewing pleasure. The game has a whopping 512 megabits, the biggest on N64. The cinimatic sequences are 3-D (and look like PS2), but the in-game grphics are 2-D and may seem a little mediocre. Another downside is the game may seem too short. Both characters have two games, both slightly different. The "A" file may get boring because you find yourself running through the same room many times. I needed a guide book for the Police Station portion of the game but then was fine. You then move into the sewers (that's the only way you can get to the masion). There are also very few weapons, both character starts with a hand gun(for Leon an H&K 70 for Claire a Browning HP), both are upgradable to turn them from semi-automatic to three shot burst. There is also a Remington 1100 shotgun, MAC-11 SMG, Desert Eagle .50 caliber hand gun, grenade Launcher and Crossbow. I have not finished the game yet, but I look forward to.

One Of The Scariest Games I've Played

This is definitely a good horrific game that can scare even older gamers. It kind of plays like the third-person Duke Nukem games. The violence of this game is higher than most and sometimes just downright nasty. The graphics are very well done. The music is very eerie and will keep you tense for the whole game. The challenge of this game could be a little different because you spend most of the game solving puzzles and little time killing zombies and monsters. Unfortunately, the play control needs a lot of work because it takes time to get used to. I suggest playing with the first-person control option (it's a lot easier). This game might have been better as a first-person shooter (like Doom). You'll want to play it to the end because this is one of those games where you'll want to see what happens next. And sometimes what happens next can scare the daylights out of you!
