The evil returns with brand new music that is awesome, new enemys, and new guns! This game rocks, frist you choose youre charcter Claire Redifield or Leon S Kennedy. You can fight new enemys like the licker. You learn about the new viriust the G viruis witness an scientist turn into a horrible monster. So I hope you enjoyed my review. Plus when you beat the game you can save it and unlock a secret to play a differnt version of the other chacter. So I hope you enjoyed my review.

Needed just a little something special

The playstation greatest hit gets a near face lift with all of the challenges added and the add on packs. A nice controller and the great interface stay the same. Despite, lacking some more graphics up date it shines on as being one of the greatest survival horror games ever. What makes this game shine is being able to unlock certain options that the others lack. As for the three star ranking what tears that down is the factors that despite being a great game this is the DreamCast not the PlayStation some graphic face lifts would have been nicer. Seeing the lips move, watching the zombies crumble as they walk, and being able to tread blood on the floor as you walk. Don't call it sick but those little things are what set this apart from say Silent Hill 2. Had the technology just did not use it right.

Welcome To Raccoon City!

How does wasting zombies at the turn of every corner sound? Pretty good to me! That's what you get when you purchase Resident Evil 2. For those who have played it on the Playstation, you know what this is all about. The DC has finally put out the game series to keep it competitive. You begin the game by playing as Leon, a rookie cop for the Raccoon City PD, or Claire Redfield, depending on wich disk you put in. You and Claire are split up. You must find and fight your way to the Police Station. Once you are there, the real adventure begins. Solving puzzles and of course killing a bunch of zombies! I don't want to give all the details as to what you need to do or what you encounter. It would ruin the fun for you. The "T" Virus plays an important role in the whole situation. And don't forget, pay attention to the clues and read all diaries and faxes that you find! They are very important! For those of you who have played Code Veronica on the Dreamcast, you will find some differences in this game. First the game play and control is the same. The disappointing things are the graphics are not as good as Code Veronica. Don't get me wrong, they are not bad, just not as good. That is why only 4 stars. Second, the game difficulty, I feel, is much eaiser than Code Veronica. I finished the game in about 8 hours. It took me about 36 to 40 hours to complete Code Veronica. It was a very entertaining and SCAREY 8 hours though! The best part of this game is that it leads into Code Veronica and Resident Evil 3 very well. Why was this not released first? Anyway, the bottom line is this; if you liked Code Veronica or scarey games, it is well worth the money. Otherwise keep looking.

Very good story and setting...

even better than Code Veronica's setting and story. On the DC the graphics are upgraded and such but are kind of wierd at times, kind of Surreal almost.

Be warned, play this before Code Veronica or the less developed graphics will turn RE2 into a joke.

Fun, but no comparison to RECV

This game is interesting, I would almost say great. But I can't because Code:Veronica is great and RE2's graphics just don't compare to it. Graphics are just bad. When I move on from the current screen picture, the game freezes for like 2 seconds, and as I move a lot that freezing is kinda annoying.

I am playing this game now, having already completed RECV, and this game just seems ridiculuos to me. Like playing International Karate on Atari after playing DOA2 on dreamcast.

Resident Evil 2- Best in the series?

Resident Evil 2 is everything a great sequal should be: More zombies, tougher bosses, and a more in depth storyline. Except for Code: Veronica this is arguably the best Resident Evil game on the Dreamcast. The higher resolution only serves to make a great game better, the additions to the VMU are very conveniant for knowing what health level you are at and how much ammo is left. The storyline is far better than game 1. Claire Redfield, sister of Chris from the first game, is visiting Raccoon city from out of town when she comes in contact with the victims of Umbrella Corp.s "T-Virus" which turns the carriers into flesh eating zombies. Originally The virus was concentrated only on one lab but it has now spread throughout the town. It is up to you to save the town and live through the expierience. Sound good? If not get this game anyway, this is not to be missed!

Relive the terror....

Fans of Resident Evil rejoice! We now have a new edition to the Dreamcast line up. Resident Evil 2 for DC is cleaner and sharper than it was on Playstation, and the perks on the VMU are nice. Sure, it isn't likely that in a police station there will be elaborate statues which hold secret keys and golden plates which act as activators. Just roll your eyes occasionally, and make note of all it does have going for it. The tone is disturbing, almost too disturbing. Perfectly keyed music, dog howling, the traditional zombies, some with a bit of a kick to 'em. An evolving and involving storyline. Finally, a worthwhile sequel, and they just keep getting better and better. Players must keep in mind tho that it's no Code Veronica. The graphics weren't engineered for DC, but for Playstation, and even tho it's been reformatted, this game did originate in 1998. Sure, you may have played it on Playstation, but it's been a couple of years. Enjoy the enhancement of Dreamcast play and reimmerse yourself in the world of survival horror. And for those of you visiting Racoon City for the first time.... good luck! ((imagine evil, wicked laughter here))

Beautiful Storytelling

I have played all three console editions of this game. The first I played was the Playstation version and although I liked the cinematics, I could not get past the controls to save my life. Second, I got the N64 edition, which offered, in addition to all the cinematics, a 3rd person control system that made navigation much smoother than the PS edition. So, when I heard of the Dreamcast edition, I immediately went out and bought it right away. It unfortunately lacked the 3rd person controller option of the N64 edition (but the 1st person controls were drastically improved to the point where one wouldn't spend four or five minutes getting your character to turn a corner). But in spite of that, it had all the great storytelling elements and in-game graphics from the N64 version (w/expansion pak) and the FMV cinematics quality of the PS version (not to mention sound). But actually, that's my only complaint about the DC version, the cinematics are...well...just too good! For the N64 version, the cinematics were reduced graphically (and cropped top and bottom to simulate a letterboxed look) and the sound was a tad tinny, but there was something really visually spectacular about the blurred, Matrix-like frame-rate (case-in-point: First appearance of the 'Licker') and the cropping (case-in-point: Claire's entrance into the diner in which a close-up of her face--in the N64 version--shows only her eyes, whereas the DC and PS versions show her full-face, even the lousy dubbing of her line, "Hello?"). But, all things considered, this is easily one of Capcom's best games, and easily the best multi-console translation of a Capcom game. Truly suspenseful, awfully tear-jerking (who doesn't become overwhelmed with feelings of desperation as they see Claire, cradling the lifeless body of Sherry Birkin in her arms, walking away from the train after she has just discovered Umbrella's underground lab! A great game in any form! We love you, Capcom!

cool game !!!
