Although I have not personally played this particular game, I gave it as a Christmas Present to my brother who is an avid gamer. He reports the game is "excellent" and is providing many hours of gaming enjoyment.

Very Good

I played Resident Evil 2 when I was a little kid and I was scared of it lol. I got Resident Evil 4 for the Wii and got hooked so I figured I would get the back story to the game too and I love them all!!!

Great remake of a masterpiece

At first I thought that this was just a port with a complete graphic overhaul, and from reading the back of the case, it explains that there's new areas to explore, which struck me with the fact that they added a few new areas here and there, and it probably wouldn't be any harder than the original...

wrong.

If you've played the original and think that this will be just like it, don't, it's nothing like the original. I'll make a comparrison of the added features, to hopefully persuade you into buying this wonderful game.

1: New areas: And they don't take a few minutes to explore either. Even a vetran RE fan would be surprised of the new locations.

2: New enemies: Such as Lisa Trevor, (a very grotesque, and bothersome enemy, much in the vain of Nemesis) And Crimson Head's (if you don't burn a dispatched Zombie, it'll reactivate, with advanced aggression and the ability to run.

3: A self defense feature (meaning if you get grabbed by a zombie and have a dagger, you'll stick it in it's head)

4: A new soundtrack. While not as prominant as the soundtrack in the original game, this one is a little more moody.

5: The scare factor is amped way up from the original. The mansion in the original had lighteing in every area you visited, this on the other hand is very dark most of the time. And the lighteing effects are put to great use, for example, you can be walking down one of many dark corridors, and then out of nowhere lightning will strike illuminating the room for a couple seconds, which is very effective if you see an enemy that you couldn't see in the dark.

Not as enjoyable as the original (I'm very biased towards it) but it's a quality remake. Will most definitely appeal to people who think graphics are the most important feature in a game.

Put RE4 away, and play some of the older titles for a change, you MIGHT just like them.

My favorite of the series

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a big fan of the "survivor horror" genre. Most of the time, as is the case with Fatal Frame or Silent Hill, the games are great to watch but not as fun to play. Originally the Resident Evil series was like that for me but for some reason the stories (as B-movie as they are) and the characters appealed to me way more than the others in the genre. Released way back when, the original game was an alright play but it wasn't as scary as some would say but now with the power of the Gamecube and a near overhaul of much of the gameplay, the remake is quite the scarefest and a good game.

Story: The S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team was sent in to the Arklay Mountains outside of Raccoon City to investigate strange murders with evidence of cannibalism. But contact was lost and the Alpha team, which features members Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, find their downed helicopter. But no sooner do they arrive are they attacked by ravenous dogs and have to escape into a nearby mansion but turns out the mansion has its own dangers as well.

Graphics: The old Playstation games looked jaggy and almost looked flat as far as atmospherics goes. The Gamecube makes it more ambient and creepy with minimal lighting except from candlelight, lightning flashes or a few lightbulbs. Not only that but characters are way more detailed and look quite photorealistic and while movements still look occasionally stiff, the animation has vastly improved.

Sound/Music: Anyone who's played any and all Resident Evil games knows the voice acting leaves a lot to be desired. Changing some of the lines (while still rewording some of the more "classic" lines) and awkward conversation, the remake isn't quite perfect but it's a step-up. The actors have a more serious tone now and while occasionally campy, it's not as awful as before. The music as well adds to the atmosphere which has creepy ambiance and more serene music, such as the Save Room music, while other times the music will drop completely.

Gameplay: Along with its voice acting, the other notable complaint has been its control scheme. To put it simply: regardless of where your character is facing, push Up to move them forward, Down to back them up and Left and Right to turn. It only took about 15 minutes for me to get used to it and while at times characters might reclimb a set of stairs or zigzag across the room, you'll eventually get used to it although you might wish something akin to 3D controls were used. And anyone wondering about its puzzles, they're still here; as non-sensical as they are vague at times. Who'd really put strange keys and oddball ways of opening doors in a mansion you're going to be in constantly? But luckily, the puzzles can be solved by just exploring and in many cases, you'll find yourself locked out of a room and while at first unsure, eventually you'll go "hey wait, isn't there that one room I didn't explore yet?"

As far as the difficulty, the game is just as trying as the series has been, if not more so, with normal zombies requiring near half a clip to bring them down while others require more firepower. Ammo conservation is the key here like all the series but then again, you have enemies like the full-gallop Crimson Heads (zombies who reanimate if you don't decapitate them or burn them using flamethrowers, flame rounds or a fuel canteen/lighter combo) and with sharp claws, these guys can be a pain. Plus with big creatures like the leaping Hunters, giant spiders, annoying bugs and birds in addition to the huge bosses, this trip through the mansion won't be an easy one.

But something strange happens when you play: you just want to keep playing. Even though it can get frustrating when you die and re-try all the time (Devil May Cry 3, I'm definately pointing at you), the mansion and all its wonders and horrors almost call to you and there's something almost addicting and with the series staples of having speed runs and new modes such as Invisible Enemy mode as well as the option to play as either Chris, who hangs out with Wesker and Rebecca Chambers who starred in Resident Evil Zero and Jill who hangs out with Barry, the originator of the "Jill Sandwich" line (that only gets improved a little bit, in other words, he still says the word "sandwich") there's a lot to get through.

While the original had more a stillness then creep factor, this game amps up the tension and is quite fun and spooky to play and is one of the best of the series as well as the Gamecube.

Buy This Game It's Worth it.

In the PSX version it looks Like The Characters are cut out of paper and paste to the game.But when you see the graphics on the remake you won't know what to say,you'll have to,buy it,to see it for yourself.The controls are hard at first,but you'll get use to it like When you got use of the PSx controls.The game will scare you believe me it will and it's very different from the PSX version with even more gameplay it'll take very long to beat,but thats whats good about it "come on" Who would want a short game if you know the way around you beat it a little faster.Buy it now if you don't love the game your love the graphics.

All you guys should know this game by now, but if you don't, then go out there and buy it! (Hubbagames has my blessings =) )

This game is just perfect, specially this version for the Nintendo Gamecube. Nice graphics, almost the same history as the original version for Play Station, more horror!!!!

I have been playing the game for the last couple days, and I don't want to stop! I don't think I want to get to the end of the game hehe.

Well, if you want to know anything else, if you are really a Resident Evil fan, then you should be playing this game right now instead of reading my review!

I recommend you to play Resident Evil Zero first in order to understand the story, well, if you are new to this game.

Good luck fellows!!!

The old PlayStation game revamped in some righteous ways. Better game play, better graphics, all new areas to explore. The code seemed to have been cleaned-up quite a bit.

A Very Good Game

The Resident Evil for gamecube (REmake) is actually a very good game. with updated graphics and creepy monsters, you have to add this title to your collection. Everything is beautiful, from the characters, to the plot, to the mansion. The only problem, which is the problem with lots of people, is the control. Yes, its confusing, and yes its hard to get used to. But its not that big of a deal. Its made that way to make the game more creepier than it already is. So really, this is a good game to get for the low price.

Great Game!

Before this game, the only other Resident Evil game I had played was RE 4 on the Wii. Needless to say, I loved Re 4 and wanted to check out the older games too. I was very pleased to find out that the original had been remade for the GC and wasted no time ordering a copy.

I was shamelessly addicted to this game from start to finish. The graphics are amazing considering it's a game from 2002, the look of the various baddies will scare the crap out of you. The music is the one point I found to be weak in this game, it's sort of your usual horror ambient music and nothing more. The story is very dark and disturbing, one you might expect from a game called 'Resident Evil' but it's dark and disturbing in a very great way!

When it all comes down, this game is easily one of the best I've played and highly recommend it to any fans of horror or puzzle games.
