I just got my import of Biohazard (Resident Evil) today and I must say it is nothing short of astonishing. The detail will amaze. I guarantee the first time you see this baby in action your jaw will drop. This has always been my favorite in the series, but it has never looked this good. I do say Capcom has outdone themselves, now I can't wait for the others especially Zero and 4. I highly recommend this game it is well worth your [$$$].

GREAT REMAKE ! FANS MUST HAVE !

I'm playing this reborn "biohazard", "Resident Evil" in US, in Japan now. It's not a copy of the old PS version, but a great remake of it. I guess you'll get confused, if you've played the PS version. Because there are so many differences from PS version, in the way to get them, to use them, maps and so on. And more over that, the zombies are powered up! If you leave the zombies down after you beat them down, they will revive back in faster and stronger ! This makes the game more thrilling.
And the graphics are so great that may be you can feel the moist and misty air. But the story is almost the the same of PS version. So I thought I could get more excited and thrilled, only if I've not played PS version before.
Anyway, I don't know how the US version will be, but fans must have it. And newcomers for this kind of games should have it, too!

Totally remade and even better than the original.

This is the first Resident Evil totally remade for Gamecube. It has the best graphics ever, even better than Final Fantasy X. It's all been changed so even old players of this game will have a new experience and new gamers will have an even better time. And remember, all Resident Evil titles are exclusive to Gamecube, so if you don't have a Gamecube, you might want to get one. Resident Evil will come with two discs because there are too many movies for it all to fit on one disc. You can either play as Chris or Jill so you can experience the full game with both characters. If you have or haven't played the first Resident Evil for Playstation, you should get this because it's a whole new experience from the original.

Great game

Capcom's really done it this time. If you want the next games in the Resident Evil series you are going to have to get a Gamecube. This game just came out in Japan and is getting rave reviews. I recommend it to everyone, you cannot go wrong with this game. This is going to be the biggest title so far on the Cube.

Do you remember the blocky zombies and the fake sounding gun shots? Well if you're sick of those third world graphics and bad sound get the resident evil remake. You'll be happy you got it but if you or one of your children get night mares easily do not
get this game. Because if your not easily scared you'll be scared buy this game. The reson why it's fun is because the fear factor is so high and the graphics are the best. So when you play this game there will be creepy music and the zombies are so tuff and it won't just take two shots to kill a zombie. So this game will defenatly send a chill down your spine. When you play it in the dark you'll be freaked so reccommened play it with lights on or when it's day time.

The Most Thrilling and Fear-Provoking Game Ever Conceived

... An all-new renovation has taken place with Capcom's second greatest franchise (the first being Street Fighter). Titled Biohazard (truly a better name than the laughable "Resident Evil") in Japan, the latest installment makes its way onto the Nintendo machine. And let me be among the first to say, this is probably the most thrilling and fear-provoking game ever conceived. Past attempts haven't hit this mark of steep graphical horror nor haul up the sensation of numbing dread. Konami's Silent Hill 2, eat your heart out and whimper, Capcom's Resident Evil has never felt or looked so gosh-darn spectacular. Don't listen to those who believe that the GameCube's version is merely a rehash of the PS1, half of the game is based on totally new areas, and not to mention even more explosive, edge-of-your-seat restlessness.

The initial thing players will react to (after noticing the graphical tour de force) is that those brainless, sauntering zombies past games expounded are gone. Replacing them are deadlier packs who hound your tail in a startling game of cat and mouse. Crammed with smarter AI, a host of zombie fiends make an appearance. Such menaces are the ones with elongated claws that cleave wind and flesh, chasing the player down hallways. RE's arsenal of the undead just don't know when to quit either. Not only frighteningly grotesque, the undead are relentless, no longer stopping in front of staircases, adding a deeper depth of suspense. Oh, and if you still assume that refuge is taken behind a door, think again, these zombies crash right through them and continue their chase for Jill's voluptuous. . .um, brain.

The combat and puzzle system work in much respect of its predecessors. Surely, Resident Evil fans will dive headfirst but find the surprise of all-new challenges. At the start, the player decides a role to choose, in this case Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, and a difficulty level. Depending on the difficulty level, the game will not be as simple as before, however Redfield's scenario is generally tougher. Jill's less taxing scenario is just the icing on the cake, whereas Redfield's scenario is plagued with an escalation of unforgiving fiends, reduced amounts of health and ammo, and strict puzzle advancement.

Players now have the access of 3 different control schemes. Because I easily adapted to the default control , I ignored the concept altogether. Also, a knife defense system, an inventive tactic, has been implemented onto the game. It works when a zombie gets a hold on the player, then mechanically Chris or Jill will thrust the zombie's attack off with his or her knife, and stab it directly in its skull. This allows an opportunity for the player to break free before the zombie bars its teeth on some flesh. Like bullets, the knife defense can be exhausted and are collected all through the mansion. For those who like to conserve, the player may set it on manual mode. Quite an additional number of moves are whipped out, such as slipping a grenade in a zombie's maw and watching its head detonate. Picturesque, indeed.

Fastened with fresh lineups of innovation, Resident Evil swims in a whirlpool of excellence. While hard-hitting with obstacles every so direction, the game doesn't go into a point of hopelessness. Such moments are when hordes of rushing undead, along with brand new creatures and bosses, come into the fray. Scare moments are back, and even more unsuspecting than ever. Currently in a time where the big screen has fails to make me [excited], Resident Evil on the GameCube goes well beyond that and wins legendary status.

Kiss your senses goodbye and place a bib on your lap. The visuals will daze you, leave you drooling, and inflate your own personal wow factor into the heavens. This stuff is mind-blowing. I thought I seen it all when I sat through Episode II: Attack of the Clones's trailer , but this is proof that computer technology is boundless. Unbelievably detailed and decisive with every graphical effect, the atmospheric tone behind RE is gorgeously macabre. I have to admit, after playing the original RE, I zipped through the other offerings without a trace of fear. Bursting with GameCube muscle and a physically charged environment, this is a whole different story. All around, the surroundings actually work against you, playing tricks of illusion. Illumination from flickering candles or hanging light bulbs emit shadows and at times it's hard to distinguish if the movement is simply nothing or a creature stirring all too near. Layers of rolling fog obscures insinuations of approaching fiends charging at you. Our favorite canines are back, quicker, and realistically crash into the environment when they miss the player. Detailed to the extreme, from the audio of guttural moans to masterfully designed backgrounds, the game's aesthetic nature is seamlessly provocative. Originating from thousands of polygons, mixed with dazzling special effects, and just the right amount of gore, this is the best looking game in which all others of the genre will now be measured by.

I could ramble on and on about the spine-chilling venues, but I'll leave that for you to ensue. Shinji Mikami, the man with the vision of the Resident Evil dream, must be gloating right now. Of all the RE games released, this is probably what his vision truly was. Refining his skill from all prior games, he finally hones perfection in his franchise. In terms of audio, graphics, gameplay, but most importantly in scaring the soul outta' gamers, RE gains pounds of its novel trademark. Mark my words, DO NOT MISS OUT on this masterpiece.

Not the same old game.

You might be tempted to think Resident Evil for GameCube is the same game you played years ago on PlayStation, but with improved graphics. You'd only be half right.

If you never played the original Resident Evil, here's the premise: you are investigating strange goings-on and reports of strange creatures in a huge mansion. You choose one of two characters--one male and one female--to explore, while zombies and terrifying creatures spring out at you from nowhere and attempt to devour you. You must use your weapons and wits to survive. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and the blood and gore is intense.

This new version does feature the same two characters and the same mansion, but Capcom has changed many aspects. They've expanded some of the original areas and added new ones. Places that once yielded zombified dogs or killer bees are now safe, while the creatures now attack you from different areas--so even if you played the original, the scare factor is brand new. And to say the graphics are improved is a huge understatement: they are incredible. Easily the best-looking GameCube title to date. You also don't have to worry that this version for a Nintendo system is cleaned up...all the gore and guts are intact, but far more realistic than before.

Resident Evil for GameCube looks like a great game, and should be worth a look whether you're a RE veteran or a Nightmare Newbie.
