In my view resident evil 2 is the best installment in the entire series, i loved playing it on PS1 and now that it is being transfered to GCN it will be even better. The Graphics should be a hell of a lot better, the gameplay is still the same as the original RE 2 for ps1 with no new areas to explore unlike the first RE remake for gamecube, but still this is the best game in the series in my view and is worth buying.

Oldschool graphics, but... who really cares?

Do you want to know how much fun Resident Evil 2 is?

With a total of 4 different possible scenarios as Leon and Claire, 2 minigames involving a soldier and a piece of tofu, loads of replay value, some of the scariest moments you'll ever witness in a videogame, there's nothing to dislike about Resident Evil 2. Well, maybe the dated graphics.

But everything else makes up for it. You start the game as Leon or Claire. Depending on who you choose and what you do, you will slightly alter the story when you finish the game as the second character, ultimately making for 4 total ways to play the game, and 4 *slightly* different endings in total.

RE2 has some of the scariest monsters you will ever encounter, including the Licker, in his first (and only- so far) appearance in a standard RE game. And who can forget the infamous mirror scene... oh, you haven't played it before? Well what are you waiting for?

The Gamecube version has sharper resolution, however everything else about the game remains untouched (unlike Capcom's complete makeover of the original Resident Evil for Gamecube). So if you already own RE2 for Playstation, Nintendo 64 or Dreamcast, there's not much new here... but if you've never played it before, you have no excuse for not getting it... NOW!

Resident Evil 2... If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will.

The best RE returns!!!

For those who never played RE2 (if you haven't and you've been around for more than 16 years than what were you thinking) on PS1 and the N64 than this your chance (again) to play one of the coolest games ever made. It's not that hard if you've played it before and ain't that graphically impressive like RE Zero or the remade RE1 but who cares. Still even if the remade RE 1 did well, this one still beats it by a long shot!! I won't get intomuch but you should try this game and see why people call it the best in the series.

resident evil two is the sequal to the smash hit resident evil... in this sequal you are trapped in the town of racoon city, underground( RE 3 takes the above ground view. the sequance goes on about how a team of umbrelaa mercs take the g-virus from the creator of the t-virus william birkin. when birkin is shot the viruses are unleashed into the city.. as shuold happen claire and leon are just driving inot town.... to find the nightmare that binds them together...then tears them apart about two seconds afterward... this game is a action packed masterpiece that is only out done by nemesis. the weapons are few, but extremely fun. the gameplay action is hopefully better( the old way of aiming a firing is you take aim and rotate the slow character to aim at the creature) . the monsters are a definite must.... they should have added the hunters though....anyway.... this game is any horror gamers dream.... the game also maks it that when you beat the game with one of the two characters,.... you can save the end file and start with the opposite character, which starts from the begining but you are aplying while the other char. is playing(I.E. when claire raidos leon and you are leon you are about to fight the first form of the baddest boss.... but you are not playing the baddest boss.......but when you are claire you play the final boss as leon runs ...

Good but one thing is missing

i have RE2 for psx and it [has] great 2 people mini games fun gameplay awesome story. the thing is it is a port not a remake so your gettin nothin new. graphics are psx nothin takin advantage of GC. So if i did not have it for psx i would get it if it was cheaper like a 20 because it a port from an old last generation game.

Buy only if you do not have a PS1 or PS2

I have it. After beating Resident Evil Zero & the remake of the first, I wanted to jump right in on GC's RE2. There are slightly faster frame rates and a different use of controls to support the GC's controller. That's all.

The RE2 PlayStation Dual Shock Version with the original and rearranged data is the same as this passed off port. I don't need to review the game itself, it is another chapter in the saga that is well-known to fans.

If you don't have a PlayStation1 or 2, then this is a solid buy. If you've never played RE2 and don't have the PS, it is a solid buy again. Whoever is making up the stories about the better graphics or a remake is fooling you.

Don't get me wrong, RE2 is a great game, but it is a port. Graphics, game, content and all. I rated it 3 stars because of the marketing tactic. The original PS version is a 4.5 star game. You'll notice that this review will be posted on Nemesis (RE3) as well because Capcom did the same with that one.

Well Capcom has done it again! they have re-released another of the great resident evil series, but is it really worth the money that you paid? Unfortunately, i am starting to question that. i love resident evil, between all the systems that i have, i have every game. i love em, but i must say that i am rather dissappointed with the newest release of RE2. If you have played Zero and RE1 for gamecube, and are expecting those graphics in RE2, then save your money cause they are just not there. Its unfortunate too because those other games kicked some serious zombie A**! but i must say that the arranged game is quite a fun addtion to the game, although it is on the copy of the dreamcast version. if you want to keep your collection or resident evil games going and you have 45 bucks (or so) to spend then pick this game up, but if you budget is tight and you have this game for other systems, then wait and play what you have.

RE2 Outdated?

well what can i say except that i am quite disappointed with the newest enstalment of RE2. Dont get me wrong, i love resident evil, but after seeing the work that was done with zero and with RE1, i have to admit that seeing RE2 as i would if i was playing my dreamcast is quite a let down. if you love resident evil you should own this game because well, its a great game, but if you are tight on money and have it already for another system, then go ahead and wait because you'll basically be buying the same game.

just a port

First off, if you are hoping for better graphics, then you will be disappointed. The graphics are exactly the same as the PSone version. Other than that, this is a great game and any true resident evil fan (like myself) should get this. If you haven't played the PSone version and own a gamecube, then you should try the entire series also.
