I started my Resident Evil horror adventure with this game. This game would change my video game series forever. The graphics in this game are awesome. On a scale of 1-10 they would get a 10+. The story is excellent and is very long. The game scared me more than any other game I have ever played. The controls are very easy to work and you need to play just 1 minute to understand them. I have also played many other of the RE game after I played this one and all are great, but none compare to this. This game involves strategy, time, effort, and a stable stomach!

capcom's remake of this classic survival horror series, is more scarier than ever thanks to gamecubes awesome graphics.
after playing RE for over 2 hours, i was left impressed and a lil' spooked. now the zombies are meaner and at times tougher, ever noticed in the original ps/saturn versions, when once you [do away with] a zomibe they disapear the next time you re enter the room/scene?
well this time the dead don't stay dead...they ressurect to a more faster cadaver!... BEWARE OF THE CRIMSON HEADS.
the dogs aren't as easy to [do away with] like before either, in fact they
can knock you down on your @ss! the music has an excellent remix to the classic RE score. and not the cheesy music from RE director's cut.(dual shock version)
all in all there are new surprises a plenty and it gets much scarier this go round. can't wait for #4.
its a nightmare come true!

This game scared the pants of me! I loved it! This game has everything from hot ladies to the blood and gore everyone loves! This game has a ton of things that made jump out of my seat in the first ten minunites!!!This game is for someone who likes having nightmares for weeks or someone who likes being scared to death. If I chose to rent it or buy it, I would say rent it because you going to get your life sucked out of you if you play too much.
This is more than a remake

This is an excelent game. It's challenging, has many extra features and you can't just beat it in one day. I will break it down into categories such as graphics, sound, controlls, voice acting, gameplay, replay value and extra features from 1-10.
GRAPHICS-10 The graphics are the best I have ever seen. That includes Halo. The lighting is very realistic and there are even reflections on the floor. The grass will move with the wind and there will be drops of water falling into puddles and make a very realistic slpashing effect.
SOUND-9 The sound is excelent. Each floor will have its own sound when walking on it. The cracks and pops from the fire sounds realistic. The thunder matches with the lightning real good.
CONTROLLS-5 This is my main complaint. The controlls are very hard to get use to. I kept hitting the map button when I needed an item and kept hitting the item button when I needed the map. The buttons are mixed up. I can tell the Gamecube controller wasn't made for this.
VOICE ACTING-6 The voice acting has been improved and does sound better, but it's still corney at times.
GAMEPLAY-9 Zombie killling, item collecting and puzzle solving. It's all fun. My only complaint is having to travel through the same rooms 1,000 times.
REPLAY VALUE-10 This game can be played over and over again. It almost never gets old. There are so many things to do and the game will come out different almost every time. There are two chatacters to play as and both have somewhat different stories.
EXTRA FEATURES-10 Two people to play as, 10 different endings, extra guns, different difficulty settings, and extra costumes. Thats enough to last for months.
If you add up all the numbers and then divide them, it comes out to about an 8.5. I would strongly reccommend it.
Turn out the lights...lock the door...live the nightmare!

I just got this game and it is so awsome. The graphics, storyline, gameplay, and music are the best! Its super hard though. You definitly need the strategy guide for this one.

I liked this game. A lot. You can play the game as two different characters, Chris and Jill. Chris being a little harder than Jill. The stories are kinda different for each character, they are not different sides of the story, they are two different ways the whole thing could've happened. Most puzzles are the same for both, just a few minor changes.
The puzzles are fun for the most part, they are hard enough to be challenging but not hard enough to frustate the gamer. At least not me. I don't really think ammo is all that scarce in this game, I had plenty of ammo left by the end of the game in normal dificulty. (66 handgun bullets, over 30 shotgun shells, about 6 magnum bullets, 4 flash granades, and 3 knives.) most enemies die with 2-3 shotgun blasts, zombies take anywhere from 1 to 15 handgun bullets, flash granades, and often magnum bullets are one hit kills, so you do the math.
My problem with the game is the camera angles, the visuals are great, but since backgrounds are pre-rendered the camera is static, and can really get you in trouble.
SCARY AS [...]!!!

The first thing i thouht when i picked up RE for CGN was, "Kool a scary horror shoot em up, where u have an infinate amount of ammo." Ha Ha Ha i think now. This game has more twists and turns than a bag of pretzels! U don't have infinite ammo, which actually adds to the fun!Some people say the camera angles [...], well that just mean it scaired the [...] out of them. The camera adds to the spookiness. When a zombie is lurking downs the halls, you look at the ground and u see the shadow before it. You really need your eyes and ears for this game. Buy it. It isn't the most scary thing on earth as advertised unless u let it scare u!!!

This game is definitely a step beyond the rest of any games I have ever played. I've never before come across a game that even gave me the chills when I played it in the dark. The sound, the graphics, the puzzles...everything contributed to making RESIDENT EVIL the best game ever. I never played the PS titles, but that didn't stop me from buying this game the day it came out. This game keeps you busy from dusk til dawn, it will keep you on the edge of your seat...and it will probably cause you to keep a light or two on ;-) There is action, mind boggling puzzles and a storyline that will catch your attention and never let go. Spinning 2 discs of frightening night fun, RESIDENT EVIL is going to be one of the top games ever realeased. Can't wait to play the sequels already announced.
pass the bedpan please

i rented this game to see what it was like. i live in a dorm. my "friends" decided to scare ... me and flip all the circits in the circit breaker and hide. it was 10:00 at night. im not going to finish for fear of more consuling. it's all true exept the last part with the consuling. this game is way to real to be good. and as for the complaining about the "bad" controls, do you think that they just meesed up or did thhat on porpus to make the game hard. ok mabye the [bad] camera angels should be fixed because you have to time you shots and swipes. but thats my only gripe with the game. and as for complaints about the lack of ammo and harder zombies, you probably put it on the moutian mode.(hard track but well rewording in the end) if you put it on the hike mode you get more ammo, eaiser zombies and less of them. an start with jill, you start with gun and 8 item spaces over crises 6. you get a lock pick that you can pick simple locks with over a canteen that you can fill up with kerossen to burn zombiies with.(you have to shoot heads off or burn bodies so they dont come back) you can find simple keys as chris and a guess find a canteen as jill. i'm getng eternal darknes in a few days. looks super cool and not as scary
