Resident evil directors cut is a great game dont get me wrong but the picture is incorrect. The product being sold is the DUEL SHOCK VERSION. Though the game is still great the sound track has been changed and the new sound track [is bad]. The ending was also taken away to make it [bad] that much more. So just keep in mind that this isn't the origenal version of resident evil DC
one of the greatest and funnest games i've ever played

this game has almost everything a gamer wants: great graphics, an engrossing storyline(although it dind't reveal itself until the end of the game), and fun. the best part is the zombies head being blown to bits by a shotgun. it was also pretty hard for me, as the zombies and hunters are very troublesome and numerous. the bosses weren't that hard, not even the final boss. but all in all, it was a great game with 2 characters to play and its share of secrets. this is a must-have for all horror fans, or for just all people in general.
An exellent game it kept me on the edge of my seat!

I have all the Resident Evil games. The best is 2 and 3. If you like the Resident Evil Saga and you want them all then get this game. Its nothing like the newer games out there, but its ok. In this game "Cut Scenes" are acted, so they ..., and the voices are different from the 3rd game so they sort of ..., but the Game play is almost identical to the other 2. I only recamend this game to people who like the Resident Evil Saga and want the whole thing, or are interested in getting the whole story of the games.
A classic, and best in the RE series.

I love this game. The story is great, and draws players in. So what if the voice acting is terrible!? The graphics are so so, but the atmosphere is terrific. I remember the first time I played it; a few rounds in my pistol with a knife, and no healing items, walking down a dark corridor and hearing a window shatter. It was possibly the best time I could ever have playing a game. Two characters, with different story lines, and hidden surprises everywhere, Resident Evil is a classic. You wont be disappointed.
Evily Good

RE is a game that not only the first game that took more than an hour-and-a-half to beat, it was a revolution in video game playing. It was the first in it's time. The first game to have actual 3-D characters, rather than the suposive 3-D design that "Doom" and "Duke Nukem" bragged about their choppy, cardboard design. Now that the movie of "Resident Evil" is out, kids and teenagers will be rushing out to buy the RE games. For an aparent reason, the original RE isn't being sold anymore, rather that it's very, very rare and probably costs around 70 to 80 dollars. Instead, they're is the Director's Cut. The DC is a odd version of RE that most people will be mistaking by the name. No, it isn't more gorier, and no, Deleted Scenes not included; seriously. Originally, the DC version had a much more explicit graphic beginning, with blood and all. But due to censorship and problems with young kids bying M-Rated games and watching R-Rated movies, the scenes were cut out. The only real different thing about the Director's Cut is the different costumes availible and items are in different spots. This will leave already RE owners high and dry, while satisfying non-RE game owners. Anyways, the story.
In RE, a group of Special tactics commandos, known as S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) are dispacthed to a secluted mansion in the middle of a remote forrest. The mansion once harvested top secret government experiments, lead by a Evil Corporation known as "Umbrella". After the first squad, Bravo Team, was shot down from their helicopter and diseapeared without communication. The second squad, Alpha Team, was sent to rescue them. But a few scuffles with unknown creatures, leads their helicopter leaving them in the middle of the forrest. In panic, the team finds refuge in the mansion. But little does the team know is that their troubles just begun. You have the choice to either play Chris Redfield, a ex-marine turned SWAT commander, or Jill Valentine, a strong guided commando with the ability to pick lock doors and locks. Through out the game, you must survive in the mansion. Your enemies are Bio-infested Zombies....that's right, zombies. The problem; you're running low on ammo. The story goes together, much like the basis for Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn" or George Romeo's "Night of the living Dead". Complete with FMV cut-scenes, that include, no less, Screen Actor Guild rejected actors with terrible acting and bad dialouge ("You almost turned into a Jill-sandwich!!!"), but never the less still a fun game. Must buy

To date, this is by far the best Resident Evil since then introduction of it. Its tendency to scare you with creepy music, intriguing dialogue makes this the best resident evil game of all time. Sure some games may look better graphically, aka Resident Evil Gamecube, but gamecube sucks and so does nintendo. If you want to buy a classic Resident Evil, buy Resident Evil Directors Cut. Everything else you can settle for.
The Best Video Game i've ever played!

This is the one that started it all folks! this is about mysterious murders in Raccoon city involving cannibalism, a group of special police officers called "S.T.A.R.S." go outside the city to find the murderers but when their Helicopter with pilot leaves them behind, they seek shelter in a large mansion but unknown to them that the mansion is also a death trap with hordes of Zombies, giant tarantulas, monster dogs and mutant creatures waiting for them, will they make it out alive?
A brilliant and highly original game using elements of Lucio Fulci, George Romero, Dario Argento, horror and science ficiton with clues, gore, cool monsters, puzzles and knowing how to survive which makes this a one-of-a-kind game for every game player. I've became a fan of this since 1996, it's the best game i've ever played with the entire series too.
a great uncut version that is a little better

my uncle gave this to me for christmas. i didnt know what it was until i got a gamecube and bought resident evil 4. then i knew what this game was. i wasnt crazy about it when i first got it. then i got resident evil 2 and tried the uncut version.
it was ok. i started playing it now and then. a month later, i found the orginal resident evil and i compared them. And the uncut was a little better because you can use the analog sticks,
and instead of gettin only 2 ink ribbons, you get 4 every time u pick them up. the bad part is that the graphics haven't improved. it is also very scary. like the big snake boss which scared the hell out of me. Still i think you should own both of these but if you want only one of these, go with the uncut one.

This game was boring. It does not even compare to part 2. If I were to compare it to part 3, I might as well compare a Playstation game to a Atari game.
