This game is only for mature players,yet...I can't get enough of it.It combines a horror flick with cheez-E dye-o-log wit a action packed 3D game with great graphics and puzzels almost impossible to solve without a guide (or plenty of ammo)! I've played RE2 and RE nemesis,But this game still remains the beast in my heart.

One of the Playstation's Finest Games

"Resident Evil: Director's Cut" is great! Not another DOOM-like game where you blow everything to bits, this game is all about survival in an old mansion filled with zombies, mutant dogs, giant snakes, and other horrible mutations. The suspense and atmosphere will have you shaking in your boots, then you'll be scared to death when something goes crashing through a window just when you've calmed down. A must-have title. I even played "Resident Evil 2" first, and it's still a must-have! That's my two cents.

BEST GAME EVER

Resident Evil and the series 1,2,3, are the best games ever. This is the first game I played that was not a RPG game since I'm a big fan of RPG'S I thought I would try iy out, well I rented out the 2nd one and loved it so much I went out and bought all 3 of them. I would love to get the 4th one but as of yet I don't have the Dreamcast. I highly recommened this game and the others.

WHEN I FIRST GOT MY PLAYSTATION , THIS WAS THE FIRST GAME I GOT . IT IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A COOL GAME TO PLAY. BESIDES THE CHEESY VOICE ACTING , OR SO SO GRAPHICS - IT IS STILL A GEM OF A CLASSIC ! WHY ELSE WOULD CAPCOM REDO THE FIRST ONE FOR GAMECUBE ? AS WELL AS DO 2 MORE GAMES FOR GAMECUBE , AND DO A MOVIE ON IT ? BECAUSE IT IS- AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE COOLEST ZOMBIE GAME EVER !...AND NOT ONE YOU COULD EASILY CHEAT ON EITHER , UNLESS YOU GOT A GAMESHARK ... BECAUSE USING THE GUIDE IS NOT CHEATING ! YOU STILL HAVE TO BEAT THE GAME AND POSSESS SOME SKILL AND PATIENCE TO PLAY IT .'' RESIDENT EVIL 2 '' WAS GREAT ! AND NEMESIS EVEN BETTER ! AND LET'S NOT FORGET '' CODE VERONICA '' EITHER !!HOPEFULLY A FEW NEW ONES WILL BE PUT OUT FOR PS2 OWNERS AS WELL .WHY SHOULD GAMECUBE OWNERS GET ALL THE FUN ! SO I HOPE YOU GO OUT AND GET IT . THIS IS ONE GAME YOU CAN LITERALLY PLAY TO DEATH !... IF YOU GET A GAMECUBE THAN GET THE NEW AND IMPROVED '' RESIDENT EVIL '' !!AND ALL THE OTHER ONES OUT NOW OR SOON TO BE OUT .. ANYONE CARE FOR A GAME OF KILLING ZOMBIES TONITE ?

Resident Evil Director's Cut is a great game. It's not all violence and gore.(though there is some) It's got a pretty good story-line and a solid cast. And one of the best things about the game is that the puzzles in the game are educational and stimulating. A relistic yet not relistic game. A real mystery game, because somebody's the "Bad Guy" but I won't give away who. Even the ending was a surprise but I won't give it away. A masterpiece of a game that will defently go on my shelf.

Instant classic

Capcom defined the genre of survival horror with a game filled with challenge and gameplay depth -and startled gasps! The atmosphere, especially on harder months, is very tense, making it so wonderful. Beware those nasty hunters! This game is a must-own, along with its sequel.

If you like horror you'll like this.

I don't think there are many games out there that will scare and surprise you like this game will. (Crows made me nervious for weeks after playing) Good weapons selection and plenty game play to keep you buisy. The game has good atmosphere and the puzzles aren't so hard that you will pull out your hair. Overall, it's not a game your friends can just pick up and play, you have to work at it a while. So don't buy it thinking you can play with a friend.

The One That Started It All.......

Nowadays, blowing zombies up is as commonplace as a 2D fighter that houses a character that can throw a fireball. From the "House Of The Dead" series to "Silent Hill", everyone has ripped off Capcom's masterpiece. The story starts off in a city us hardcore gamers will all know, Raccoon City. On a hill in an out-of-the-way area lies a mansion that holds a deadly secret. Down in Raccoon City, the community has had violent attacks by zombies that are bumpig off the townspeople. The R.P.D. send out their S.T.A.R.S. unit to find out what's up with this mansion and it's 'monsters'. Both the Alpha and Omega teams shall never be the same....... What you encounter through this tale of death is nothing short of terror perfetion. From your first encounter with dogs, to your first boss, to your return to the mansion only to find your zombie pals have been replaced with gremlins from hell called hunters; this is horror-gaming nirvana. Your characters are Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. You get to pick which character you lead (or lead you) down your path of hell. Jill is the easier one to use, while Chris is the harder one. For example, Jill starts off with a pistol, while Chris starts off with the forever dreaded knife. Basically their stories are the same with some different twists thrown in here and there. For example, Jill's sidekick is Barry, while Chris gets Rebecca. Throughout your journey, you pick up on clues as to what's going on. Such as diary entries. You come across the mansion twice, a backhouse, a garden, an underground passage way, and an underground laboratory throughout your story. All the while you hear the name of a corporation (one that will haunt you throughout the series) known as Umbrella. The game isn't hard, but it isn't easy either. Worrying about ammo and herbs is always the number one priority. Playing through the game to see what's ahead (you know, horse around), then go out for real and work your way through the story is the biggest tip I can give. And always save (just don't over do the ink ribbons, there's only so many). The graphics were breathtaking then and still hold up today. The control is difficult for some to get used to, but I never had a problem with it. The sound is also amazing, but quite important. Usually when I play games, I put on my headphones (Nine Inch Nails for me) and play away. Unfortunately, I can't do this. You need the sound to hear what's going on, whether it's zombies that are lurking around a corner you can't see, or something following you, you have to listen. This adds to the gaming element immensely. It'll often scare you, but that's the point, adding a new gaming dimension. One of fear. My only problem with the game, is the story of who originally owned the mansion. ... Ultimately, Capcom scratched all that. And it detracts from it all as the story behind the mansion has too many holes. In the end though, this was a classic video game. Not the best Resident Evil, but mandatory if you intend to play them all as the story is missing a lot if you pick up on the series when it's already told so much. It's graphic, it's bloody, it's epic, it's scary and it's an experience you won't soon forget. Just don't play with the lights off, you'll never sleep again.

The RE Series proud.

The original Resident Evil changed the game industry forever. Although the Survival Horror genre is certainly old, being Interplay's "Alone in the Dark" the first example to come to my mind, RE sent the genre and the video game industry where it had never before ventured.

The idea, simple as it sounds, harbors with it the strength to create a fine video game experience: Lock yourself at a mansion filled with zombies and other creatures plus limited ammo, and try to get yourself out of this.

This is the only game of the series that is worth of any praise, not only because it did much for the industry, but because of its game play value.

One of the best in it's time

What can I say? I remember the first time I played this game, how much the atmosphere drew me in and almost made me forget it was a video game. I remember the first time I jumped because I was so focused on exploring and wasn't prepared for that first dog.

I originally owned this game on the now defunct Sega Saturn. I was thoroughly enjoying the game, and my Saturn died when I was about 3/4 of the way finished. That was about when the Saturn was seeing it's last days, so I didn't feel like dropping more money into another Saturn, and at that time, I just figured I'd get Resident Evil for the PC. Now that I have a PS2, I decided to get this for that system. I'm really glad I did.

Although the graphics are dated by today's standards, they are still sufficient for a great game experience, and all of that atmosphere makes up for the graphical limitations the game had when it was originally released.

The thing that I most like about this disc is that it has the original and director's cut both on one disc. I bought it for the original, but I'm looking forward to the slight changes in the director's cut when I finish that.

So, what it comes down to is this: If you like creepy games, and can find the enjoyment in slow exploration type games (I was a big multi-player Quake fan for a long time because of the non-stop action, but this was a nice change of pace), pick this up for sure. It's a classic, and will always be a fun game to play.
