1. pre- renderd backgrounds aren't so great, its not using the game qube's hardware to generate the backgrounds just the software.
2. Pre renderd back grounds can cuase clipping, a major programming problem.
3. same crppy controls and camera angles.
4.who cares if there's a new character the game going to end the same.

... Very simple... This game is literally a horror to play. The control scheme is one of the worst I have ever seen on any system bar-none!! It is not a very smoothe game. You are always fighting the controls. And the times in the game when I am able to focus hard enough to get somewere, I loose my bearing at the worst time. You have to relearn how to use your controller. The problem is when you play ANY other game you lose the sub-suplimental skills you have learned by picking up the controller for an hour and playing this unsatisfactory game. This game automatically eliminates 20% of the population, because they will NEVER understand the cooperation between the controller and their charecter. Furthermore this game is more drama then anything else. HOUSE OF THE DEAD for Dreamcast BLOWS this game away in every respect.
In closing: if you have time on your hands this could be the game for you. If you are alive and have real things in your life wich occupy your time, don't let this be another one...

What I'v always loved about "Resident Evil" is the terrible dialogue. Every time something bad happens, they always say, "What do we do." But besides that flaw this is a great game, with a compelling story.

Resident Evil the Remake is easily one of the best looking Games to ever be created to a console system. The graphics are just plain beautiful. The controls...well...uh..mmhh..SUCKS!
I don't get how people wyn about the camera angle...It was find to me. A little frustraiting but fine.
I loved this game even though Zero was a disapointment...I loved ZERO but still The remake will be a classic in the RE series.
Lets start of by saying RE is a very messed up game...Biological mutating monsters, Zombies, ect...The game is just plain creepy..The Remake makes silent hill 3 look like another episode of micky mouse.
Lets start off with my review of everything in the game now...
The controlls..
Yes the controlls suck! Big time! I hated em'...Couldn't stand em...But I still managed to beat the game..It's 2 disks I think..
Capcom should have done better on the controlls.....4/5...yea...after all that whyning I still give it a 4/5..hmmm
The graphics..
Do I really need to review this?.....5/5!!!
The story..
Great...just like the Original except better and nothing was censored like the original PSX version in the U.S. Very smart..very cool and very exciting. The story is also great cause it has some twists and turns...Great..5/5..
Gameplay..
I liked the gameplay alot...the graphics saved it alittle though..The part with the tanks with the shark scenario with Jill and Chris was brilliant...the water movement was just...GORGIOUS....My spelling sucks I know...The tryant part was fun too...Everything was fun...and Creeeeeeeeepy...5/5
Is this the best Resident Evil game ever?...
Oh hell no...the best RE game was 3..Nemisis...I lost my PSX copy of Nemisis though but Fortunaly I baught the Gamecube version which is just as good as the PSX version...It's a port from the Dreamcast version which is good....Acctually I think Resident Evil 4 will be the best but for now it's 3...
I own almost every Resident Evil game..story wise I mean..not like added stuff capcom made like OUTBREAK..I own..mmm let's see..
Resident Evil remake
Resident Evil original PSX version
Resident Evil 2 for psx but lost it and now got the Gc version..
Resident evil 3 for GC...THE BEST RE GAME EVER!
Resident Evil Zero...Ohh this game had some potential...It is yet another RE story game..not some special thing Capcom made like The gun one and Outbreak...I've reviewd all the RE games I own on the versions I've played....This is probably 3 place for RE game...Nemisis...2..then Remake..then ZERO....
RE remake should be owned by Hardcore RE gamers...The hardest RE game I've played was 3 nd' remake...CV was alright..I didn't like it that much..I got all the way through disk 1 in the Dreamcast version and then stoped and had to return it for a friend...Didn't like it that much...
Which character has a better scenario in RE Remake?...
Will alot of people thought it was Jill but I liked Chris's story line in Resident Evil remake...I loved his character development(Donno why I said that but I think thats what it's calld...whatever..) with Rebecca Chambers...Uh I don't wanna sound like a perv but Every time I think of the name Rebecca Chambers It sounds like a porn stars name...lol..Rebecca Chambers is also in Resident evil Zero...But what was also cool about Chris is his story line is a tad bit more dramatic...like
SPOILERS...
When Jill does the right thing and gets the antodote for Richard he later gets eatin by a Huge ass Snake..
In Chris storyline When you save him he later gets torn apart by a Massive giant shark...Honestly though...They should have givin you a reason why he was at the Shark tank for a reason..THEY DON'T GIVE YOU ANY REASON...He jus...He just shows up there for no reason...Chris's version of the game is more frustraiting then Jills Part...
There was alot of other things I wanet to change about the storyline between the two like...for one example Jills Good ending..Wesker...SPOILER AHEAD...gets smacked by the Tyrant and gets away with it..I would Have rather wanted him to be killed by the Tyrant like in Chris's good ending nd' bad ending.....
This game has loads of ending even though you don't have to start the entire game over just to get a different ending....
You just have to change some stuff and make some decisions I think...Theres about 12 endings total with Chris n' Jill...
This game is over all 5/5...Or what I like to say 9.8 out of 10...
Oh! And if you wanna see Jill again Like me then you should get Resident Evil 3 Nemisis for the Game Cube....
Later...

This is by far one of the best GameCube games currently available. From the vastly improved dialogue to the next-generation graphics and effects, the attention to detail made by Capcom is truly astonishing. The first thing that players will notice is the completely redone intro scene. Gone are the days of bad actors in equally bad costumes and cheesy action sequences. The new intro is done completely in computer generated graphics and is a true sight to behold. Graphically, this is one of the best looking games on the market, as many of the scenes truly have to be seen to be believed. I often found myself just pacing around the rooms, in awe at how realistic the whole thing looked. Rooms that appeared to be detailed paintings in previous incarnations of the game are brought to life with startling detail; Grass blows in the wind, moths beat against overhead lights, and realtime shadows are cast on all the objects in the rooms. Veterans of the original Playstation game also need not worry, as this version promises to contain 70% new content. What this amounts to is different puzzles, item placement, rooms, and entirely new creatures created specifically for this version! There are also over 10 different endings that can be earned, dependent on the character the player chooses and the choices they make while playing. All in all, Resident Evil is a must have title for fans of the series, and a strong recommendation for those of you who are new to its scares and suprises. If you own a GameCube and you're looking for a solid action title, this is it. Drop what you're doing and get this game today!
perfect, but nothing new about the story

i bought this game two weeks ago, and i have beaten the game seven times including the invisible enemy and the real survivor, overall this game is perfect, but the only thing that makes me dissapointed is the fact that the endings are just too short. i actually expected more than those endings when i was just about to finish the game for the first time, but there was no addition like some secret movies or reports, etc. this is the only reason why i give this game 4 stars instead of 5, but still i really recommend this game for every gamer and survival horror fans.
resident evil is AWSOME!!!!!

PROS:
1) new character (chris redfeild)
2) amazing graphics
3) u can see the change of emotion on ur players face
4) good replay value
5) difficult
6) mega creepy
CONS:
1) camera angles r always changing
2) controlls take some getting used to (about a day or 2)
as u can see, resident evil has all the aspects of a good resident evil game. and make sure u have an extra pair of shorts handy.

Graphics,fighting,chills,these are just some of the stuff that you can find in this game. If you like fighting,and killing this is the game for you. I love this game and I think you should make the whole series over again for Gamecube.This game in my view even beat Spider-Man and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I liked this game mainly because of the graphics and charactors. Chris and Wesker were my favorite. Jill was also cool but not as cool as Chris. The graphics were REALLY awsome.
