MEDIOCRITY FOR RESIDENT EVIL 6.5 OUT OF 10

I can't honestly see how Resident Evil Survivor got lower scores than this game. This game stars Leon Kennedy (The guy from RE2 and 4) and the game begins on a ship filled with zombies and you must make your way through it. Sounds like a good old-fashioned zombie slaughter-fest right? Unfortunately, mostly that's wrong. This game features perhaps the stupidest method of killing zombies I have ever seen (Let alone any game I've played). Here's how it works; there is a strange scale with a rectangular thing that goes back and forth on the scale and since your enemies are in front of you, you can only hit them when the rectangular thing passes them... yes, it's as confusing as it sounds. The graphics look okay for a Game Boy Color game, but they need work. What manages to save this game from disaster is the creepy vibe, creepy music, and overall okay presentation of the game. The puzzles feel about the same to its PSone console cousins; find certain things like keys to unlock new areas along with an assortment of other things. The zombies still have their decomposing glory in their looks, and the fact Leon is on this game manages to salvage most of the presentation. But its stupid killing methods and the lack of a deeper game will probably leave most handheld fans disappointed, if you want a Resident Evil handheld go buy Resident Evil: Deadly Silence for the DS instead. Also, the game is a little less clear on objectives than its console cousins as well, so you will get lost and confused. Unless you're a rabid RE fan there isn't much to check out on this game. Oh, and Capcom, why can't you shoot with the A button while aiming with the B button? Seriously, it would have been much better if it didn't have that stupid scale.

To be quite honest, I love this game and no matter how much of a bad rep it gets, thats not gonna change the fact that this is masterpiece. The thing is, these days there is all of the new systems and games(not to trash the PS3) that nobody takes the time to give the so-called old games a chance to show their stuff. That is exactly whats going on here, thats why I'm doing this review, to show you that this game is great and that you'll love it if you give it a chance. So here you go, my review on Resident Evil Gaiden.

The story: Barry Burton, one of the members of the famous S.T.A.R.S from the original tale of survival horror, Resident Evil, is sent to investigate the dissapearance of Leon, the hero of the second Resident Evil. Leon was supposed to be aboard of the luxery cruise liner the STARLIGHT, tracking a B.O.W that is running loose on board. It is now up to Barry to find Leon and terminate the B.O.W, but has a poem Barry learned as a child come back to haunt him?

Graphics: the graphics are clean and very colorful, this really makes the experiance fun and interesting. I really admire the attention to detail through-out the cut-scenes and the first-person mode is pretty well done as well.

Sound: The music is dark and creepy, kind of like halloween. The weapons sound realistic and pretty cool, great for a GBC game.

Gameplay: The exploration is fun and exciting in the way that you never know what you're gonna find. The combat has sort of an RPG feel in the way that an enemy can touch you and a battle will start(this can also be done from a distance by taking aim and targeting one of the plentiful zombies).
The subject of battle is an interesting one, the shooting and slashing are done in a detailed first person mode, where a targeting reticule moves back and forth while you try and hit the enemy's range of fire in the middle to attempt a head shot(if you are successful, you will be rewarded with a grousome sight of blood shooting from the enemy's head).

My conclusion is that if you like the Resident evil series, get the this game today. You are going to be amazed at its endless ability to totally freak you out, you are really gonna love this game!

Probably the most unknown Resident Evil game of them all, solely for it appearing on the GBC. The game plays like a 3rd person adventure, then when in combat with a zombie or creature, switches to a first person view where you your shots to choose where to shoot them. Overall, for a Resident Evil game, it isn't the best. But for a Game Boy Color game, this is one of the best. So, if for some reason you've never played a handheld more advanced than the original Game Boy or the Game Boy Color or if you're a diehard Resident Evil fan, you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, you could probably find a better way to spend your money. NnyCW for CapCity

This is the worst resident evil game. The character used was... wow... undescribeable (in a bad way.) The game is not really good, it's super boring.

You sould not buy this.

Gameboy was not a good choice for a Revil game.

GBC Features A Weak Resident Evil Charpter

The game features Barry Burton from Resident Evil (and he also appears in a bit of Resident Evil 2) and Leon Scott Kennedy (Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4).
The story tells that Leon S. Kennedy went to a ship called Starlight and that, somehow, he got lost... So Barry has to come to that ship to find out where Leon is and to rescue him.. He discovers that the ship is full of zombies and some B.O.W.s, because the Umbrella Corp. put their dirty hands on that ship.. Barry also finds a survivor, who is named Lucia. And she'll help him to find Leon and whoever else is there...
- Graphics: I must say this was one of the few games I've played on the Game Boy Color, so I can't really compare... But, for all I've seen (not that much), the graphics are good for that plataform... They try to work with shadows and stuff... Well, they did what they could...But the character looks horrible.. Not detailed at all.. Even enemies are more detailed.
- Sound: The music isn't very good... You feel like it's the same one in the whole game.. Game Boy Color is not a powerful console for graphics nor sound... Talking about the few melodies in this game, I think they're Ok.. But can't be compared with any other Resident Evil game. You get sick of them.
- Fun: This is not a masterpiece. It's very far from it. You can beat the game once, but you're probally not going to play it again... Because it's not very scary without the soundtrack (which has always been a great point in Resident Evil games) and with bad graphics
- Educative: This is the only Teen-classified Resident Evil game... All the others are Mature-classified. The thing here has no big deal.. Some blood, violence.. You're killing zombies, anyway... You're not killing any human or any good guy.. You're killing biological weapons and zombies.. I think you parents don't have to worry about it...

After all, this game is disappointing. I only suggest you to buy it if you're a hardcore Resident Evil fan or if you're a GBC game collector. It's a great title for GBC - who has no big titles.

BOO!

Horrible! I love the resident evil games, but this one sucks. When you are battling a zombie you are taken to first person shooting. I think it was a big mistake.

if everyone hates this why are they releasing dead aim?

Ok this is really a good game. It is almost excatly like resident evil: dead aim without the gun. it is palyed in both first person and third person. It is really weird because the people who are trashing this game, are raving about dead aim. So there is no pre-renderd background. This is still an awsome game. i do agree that it has lost some of its fear element, but I loved it anyway. So don't believe what the reviewers that gave this game a low score said. if you are excited about hte upcoming dead aim release or if you are just looking for a great game for your gameboy, then pick up this great title today!
