I meet and exceed the system requirements and can't get the stupid thing to run right. No sound, open driver error message, support offers none either. and that's with or without voodo 5500 3D accelerator. I want my money back..

I hate it. The controls are very awkward and you cant use the mouse. The graphics are not that great either. It is not a third person shooter, The screen doesnt move and it is one background after another and different camera angles for each frame, once the charecter would be going in sides and straight ahead in another. It is very hard to move the central charecter, takes a ... of time time you get the correct angle to shoot the zombies following you, how does one play this game with such a bad playability. You would get very far. Bad Bad Bad I hate it.

Incredibly frustraing!

This game, while a decent port from the PS version as far as a port goes, is very frustrating. First it's difficult to learn and play, and the graphics sometimes makes gameplay even more difficult. (BTW, it's not really scary.) The most annoying thing for PC gamers is you can't save the game at any point. Instead there are only a limited number of occasions where you can save your progress. The novelty factor is no longer than as there was with the original RE (which was not as novel as the truly original Alone in the Dark).

Why Did I Waste My Time and Money?

This game is horrible. At the release of the movie I thought it would be fun to play the game series, then go see the flick. I heard friends rave about this game, so I purchased it and couldn't get myself through the first ten minutes. The camera angle is annoying, the controls clumsy, the gameplay corny. The graphics left this veteran gamer with a sour taste. However, if you like zombies and don't mind its serious flaws, give this one a try. Maybe you'll feel better about it than I did.

Wicked just wicked

Is this suppose to be a cool game, I bought it reading all those positive reviews. I cannot understand people like it. The system requirements are quite high. The graphic are not very cool and the control is not very evident. The puzzles are not that fun to solve either, and story what great story does it have. Scary game indeed the zombies move like the baddies in Ed wood's movie and the voice acting is one of the worst even in computer game history. It has a time limit to play and you get to play only for a very short time. It is made by capcom i cant belive they are the same guys who gave classics like Street Fighter. Not even worth one star but unfortunatly can't give less on the amazon.

This game is an unbearably horrible version of Resident Evil 2. My computer is an excellent one and even has a Geforce 3, yet the game either cannot recognize my card or just has bad graphics. It looks like the quality of graphics from the first 3D dos games like Wolfenstine 3D (Not return to Castle Wolfenstine). It only gives me a resolution of something like 320x480. It looks horribly crummy. ...

Love the game, but...

I originally played this game on the Sony Playstation, and was hooked instantly. I got really caught up in the game while staying at my friend's house for a couple days. When it was time to go home, I was most of the way through the game, and really wanted to know how it ended, but unfortunately I didn't own a Playstation. Eventually I bought it for the PC, thinking it would be even better on the PC, as everything is better on the PC. But it wasn't. I have a 32 MB video card, and a system far superior to what it's looking for. But the graphics were large and blocky, completely losing any beauty to the game, and the cutscenes kept locking up on me initially. But I stuck with it and beat the game, because I wanted to know how it ends. I love the game, and I love the series, but don't buy this game for the PC. I was pretty disappointed. I hope Res Evil 3 is better for the PC.

Great game, not so much on pc.

I would give it five stars just because is RE2, but I have a good vista laptop with a Nvidia graphic card and it looks too pixceled. I tried everything but I couldn't watch the cinematics (wich happens to be 25% of the appeal of the game, to me anyways). It also takes a while loading when you open a door or climb down stairs. This game is designed for windows 98 for pete's sake!

Pros, cons, zombies....

The "Resident Evil" games--and perhaps all games in the "survival horror" genre--are about atmosphere. And in that regard, "Resident Evil 2" delivers. The graphics won't wow a hardcore PC gamer, nor will the sound, although the music is effectively eerie. This game offers a some good shocks and good-if-stilted cutscenes, intermixed with some so-so action.

The minuses are serious but not show-stoppers. The graphics and sound effects show the limitations of the consoles they were designed for--no Quake III here, nor even Blood 2, for that matter. (Resident Evil 3 actually goes a good bit farther compensating for this by offering much higher resolutions.)

Saving a game can only be done at a typewriter, and only using a ribbon, of which there are a limited number. I guess that means that if you haven't played through the game by the time you used that last ribbon, you're going to have a =really= long last session. Save game limitations drive PC players nuts, and is compounded here.

The camera angles, while usually quite effective in the atmosphere, also make it, em, challenging, to see what you're doing about a third of the time when you're zombie slaying.

The only other major minus is the dubious pseudo-adventure game puzzles. Find this key, find that key, hook that wheel to that valve, etc. It's not as big a minus as it might seem, because sometimes these slow periods lull you into a false sense of security and set you up for the next good shock. Other times, they're just teidous.

Overall, this game has won me over with its spooky atmosphere and ocassional shocks, but I couldn't call it a classic, unfortunately, at least not this version.
