NOT BAD FOR AN FPS RESIDENT EVIL 7.5 OUT OF 10

I can honestly say that I did not have a bad time playing Resident Evil Survivor. Although I'm a fan of survival-horror, I'm a big fan of first-person shooters, and I have been for years. I can understand why Resident Evil fans b***h about how this game sucks, it's not as awesome as the other Resident Evils(except Gaiden), the creepy vibe is absent most of the time, the voice-acting and story are more cheesy as well, and the graphics actually look worse than the other Resident Evil games on PSone. The game takes place after the events of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on an island where apparently the infection had been brought to that was outside Raccoon City; where the infection started. You are a soldier, and during a flight on a helicopter a scientist was clinging to the bars on the chopper and he shoots down your flight. It turns out you are the only survivor and you've lost your memory (Gasp!). So you shoot your way through hell while discovering the secrets of your past. The shooting mechanics actually use the same buttons the other Resident Evil games use on PSone (Hold down R1 to aim and press X to fire), except trying to shoot something is not haphazard. The creatures are still gross, freaky and nasty, and the game feels like an arcade game (Think House of the Dead, Carnevil, and Time Crisis combined), plus you never run out of ammo, and you will laugh at the lame story and voice-acting. Still, this game while having better controls than the other Resident Evil games, it just isn't as fun as the others and it feels like it has more thrills than scares. Damn, this was a good Christmas. Especially with getting games like this one, Resident Evil: Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil: Gaiden, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Final Fantasy VII, XIII, The Punisher, and Mercenaries which will keep me busy for awhile and I'll get to Amazon eventually to say if they are good (So far so good though, really good in fact).

It wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was kind of disappointing. I got all hyped up about it for nothing. The graphics and sound were bad, not to mention the story. It isn't worth the $ 30. The first Resident Evil is worth $ 30. I'm excited to play Resident Evil Code Veronica ( originally for Sega Dream Cast in Spring of 2000 ) for the Playstation 2 out in July I think. Code Veronica is the best Resident Evil game I've ever played, and is well worth the money.

Resident Evil meets Duke Nukem 3D? Yeesh!

If Survivor had been released in Duke Nukem 3D's heyday, it might not seem as bad. This first person shooter is actually well-designed (in a retro sort of way), allowing you to roam freely through every building of a small town, including a movie theater and a nightclub (both highly reminiscent of Duke Nukem 3D).

Graphically, this game even *looks* like Duke Nukem. The blocky, brightly colored textures on walls and buildings are straight out of Duke (to say nothing of Doom.) The only difference here is that the monsters you fight are 3-D models, not bitmapped.

Unfortunately, it's now 2001, not 1995... and, needless to say, Survivor was designed for RE fans, not Duke fans. For that reason, RE fans will dislike this game even more.

Why? Let me count the ways. For starters, RE games are noted for being the scariest games ever made. But Survivor isn't scary at all - not even for one millisecond. How do you do *that* in an RE game? Worse, this game is way too short (even an average player will be able to beat it in two hours or less.) Also, with one or two exceptions (see below), the enemies' AI is dumb, dumb, DUMB.

Want more? Here's the biggest letdown: there's not a single FMV (cinema scene) in the entire game. None! Fans hoping for something along the lines of the William Birkin/Umbrella mercs massacre from RE2 or the John Woo-inspired opening shoot-out from Code Veronica will find little to cheer about here.

By the same token, Duke Nukem fans won't be thrilled either once they realize they can't strafe (move side-to-side while shooting simultaneously). Jumping and ducking are also non-options. I point this out because in Survivor some enemies *can* shoot back. (They're called "cleaners" - mercenaries who look like Metal Gear Solid rejects. Because you can't take cover and strafe, every time you walk into a "cleaners" ambush you're pretty much a sitting duck.) Lastly, as others have pointed out, you can't save your progress in Survivor. That's right, you have to play the entire game in one sitting. No doubt this will tick off both RE and Duke fans equally.

So unless you're a die-hard RE fan, I recommend skipping this game altogether. (Don't worry, none of the characters from earlier RE games show up in Survivor, so it's not like you'd be missing out on part of the storyline).

On the other hand, if you're into retro shoot-em-ups, you might want to rent Survivor for nostalgia's sake. Too bad your character in Survivor doesn't have Duke Nukem's sense of humor.

Another excellent instalment to the RE series

Apart from the fact that most people think this game is awful. This game is a first for the RE series a first-person shoot'em up. This game has a new hero, the same enemy (Umbrella) but a different city. You have a short prologe at the start about what happened in Racoon city. Then a fast introdution. The man your suppose to be is suffering from amniesa after being in a chopper crash.

It brings back many of the creatures and animals (and course zombies) from the previous games this I think will make some RE fans quite pleased to see some of the old foes. There are some new ones also such as the "cleaners" mutant humans with SWAT suite and a machine gun. Fast but simple to kill. Also new types of "lickers" with a slight difference which is the claws.

Many of sounds and noises are back but the gore has been alost taken out in this RE which is not always abad thing. There are a few puzzles mostly to find keys ect. This is never a down side in my opinion because at least RE keeps to its roots unlike other games.

The plot has a brilliant twist to it and its quite gripping at times. There are no cinematic scenes I say SO WHAT! This game works brilliantly without them. The plot is wonderful not so much scares but how a shoot'em up is quite free and concentrating on the shooting of zombies to looking at info in the other games such as "Nemesis" is mentioned on one of the papers or diarys I picked also mentioning of Leon Kennedy from the second RE also Claire Redfield (From RE 1 and 2) and Jill Valentine (From RE 1 and 3). This is perfect in keeping (some) gamers intersted.

Overall this sets the origanal and new in a fairly smooth way it. Introducing a new hero and also some more characters to the series. Its worth getting if your a fan are just curious.

P.S. U.K. version could be different to U.S. (U.K. version is what I have.)

NnyCW for Capcom City

Resident Evil Survivor, the black sheep of the Resident Evil family. Compared to the rest of the Resident Evil's, yes, this game is bad. However, it is not unplayable. The lack of any and all save points means that you're going to have to go thru the entire game in one sitting...and that can be quite a challenge. However, considering how easy the game is, it's not because of difficulty. This game just is bad. Now, if you have a bunch of friends over who love Resident Evil like you do and you just want to be able to say you beat them all, this game does have some redeeming value. It's great for a laugh with a group of friends at just how bad it is. This game is more of a collectors item for those who want to have the entire Resident Evil series and who want to beat them all rather than for those who want a fun and enjoyable game to play. Stay away unless you're Resident Evil thru and thru. NnyCW for CapCity.

As upset as I was about the whole fact that Capcom ever deviated from the original pre-rendered screens I have to admit the game Resident Evil Survivor provides a few minutes of action. It is way too easy, but the Resident Evil title is enough to earn it 3 stars. I played the import which really wasn't all that great. The story provided few surprises and didn't shed much if any light on the original plot of the series.

Awesome Game!

One of the best games ever played on this planet, NOW ON MARS, IT WOULD BE SPIDERMAN ON PLAYSTATION, however since this is earth, i will have to consider this is an all time favorite all fans of pure horror. it doesn't let you down like those pathetic horror movies of the new millenium. this game has actual horror and the puzzles are tough, they are so tough, that this game and others like it are helping decline the ratings of the wwe. this game and spongebob square pants are taking vince to the cleaners.
