Do not buy this unless you want to pay more for the same PS2 Title.
There is nothing different in GC Version.
Do not buy!!

I hated it!!!!

This game sucked, bottom line. I bought it "used" from Gamestop and talked my way into returning it so that I can get something better for my hard earned money. The cut scenes are so cheesy (who's with me in saying that this Anime crap has gotten out of hand already?) and the controls are too annoying to get used to. Silent Hill games are so much better than Resident Evil games.

This is a great game

...But it's not worth $40 unless you have never owned a playstation 2 or dreamcast. If you have this game already and are thinking that it has been completely remade like the first game, that's simply not true. This game has no graphic touch ups and no extra videos (the review here that said there was extras, he was referring to the extras in CVX as opposed to the original CV on the dreamcast. This is the PS2 game ported to the game cube. I.E. The exact same game as the PS2 version.

Shame on Capcom for not remaking all of their resident evil games...they can't justify making this game $40 while you can get the remake for $20 right now. If you have a gamecube and have not played RE 0 or the Remake, you should get those before you even consider this one. Wait until it goes down to $20. And if you have a PS2-this is definitely worth a pick up at the $20 price. The storyline is excellent, the cut scenes are pretty good. Anime? I'm sorry but I don't know what that guy was talking about.

tries to improve on the past but fails

RE: code veronica X is all set up to go beyond raccoon city, provide more backstory and offers 3D movement.

The problem?
1.Although many didn't like the old RE camera angles, movements, and so forth... they did add to the atmosphere. When you walked into a room and the camera angle switched to show from under a bed, you were cautious that something might just jump out at you from it. Code veronica's free movements means less shadows and creepy scenes (they try to improve on it by making most scenes hazy or foggy but it doesn't really work). They do add a vibrating heartbeat when going through certain doors but you quickly realize that it means nothing. When your heart starts pumping... it probably means aboslutely nothing is on the other side of the door.

2.The characters. Steven is annoying. Alexia has her moments but her brother (and his voice especially) make you wish you were being attacked by zombies for real. Wesker couldve been cool but seems more like a superhero villian who will never go away and isn't fully explained.

3.Certain places in the game make little sense other than forcing you to walk past each room. In a graveyard with a bunch of zombies?: No, you can't just walk or climb past a 2' crumbling tombstone, you have to walk all the way around. The machine used to make alloys or whatever... also annoying.

4.Equipment. More than in other RE games, it seems like you can run out of ammo and be stuck in unwinnable situations. If you dont have enough ammo in the plane when the tyrant is after you, well you might as well start the game over and try to conserve ammo a lot better. After conserving ammo before facing alexia, I thought I was ready, used everything on her and was out of ammo without a prayer. I didnt restart the game all over to see the ending, i was sick of it by now (and I've beaten all the others multiple times).

On the upside, some of the cutscenes are very cool (especially in the beginning). The double guns are cool until youre out of ammo. And if you like RE, you'll probably just have to see it, but its my least favorite.

buy beware.

Capcom, they gave us the genre known as Survivor Horror. If you have played any of the previous RE titles(game cube), such as Remake, then your used to the entire ordeal of making antidote and what not. This game is awesome! But buy only if you have not played and beaten it on the other systems, cause it runs the exact same, even still, you should buy it for the ultimate Resident evil collection. It is a great series but no true plot twist, wait till the end of this year for part four that will be you best bet.

Good Storyline, but mediocre gameplay

Nintendo has released another RE onto the GC, and yes, just like the other games, its just a port. This game's graphics aren't necessarily bad (in fact, this game came out on PS2) but they don't compare to the quality that the console can handle. So, what is going on this time? Claire gets locked up in Rockfort Island for trying to infiltrate the Umbrella Paris Facility. Unfortunately, she doesn't find her brother there.

In a shocking twist, the island gets attacked and the T-Virus is once again released to wreck havoc upon poor Claire.

Okay, the main problem I had with this game is the sound. Especially the voice actors (excluding Claire) who sound like they have no idea how to act. For example, the Alfred character sounds like a total retard. Sure he may be a little messed up, but he's also intelligent (with gadgets and locks, you should see the puzzles in this game).

Another thing, they have changed nothing where the other games had something new (eg RE2 had Scenarios, RE3 had Nemesis and so on). This game had me disappointed when I completed it.

So the big question here is, 'is it worth buying?' To that I would answer Yes to the fans of the series and to those who want to get into to it, but No to those who are tired of this mechinac and want something new. No monsters will chase you into other rooms (like RE3) and there is nothing new put a first person shooter like mode that has little use and has to be unlocked.

People who bought Code Veronica for Dreamcast might want to try this one out for the extra scenes involving a character loved and hated by many.

Pros:
- Has additional scenes that involve an old rival
- The storyline is some what good, but a little hard to follow at times
- There's an option in the battle mode to be in First Person mode.

Cons:
- This is just a port of RE:CVX on PS2
- The graphics could have been so much more better
- The controls in FP mode are very annoying
- The VO's can drive you crazy (excluding Claire's)

Great game but so far one of my least favorites.

This game was great with graphics compared to RE2 and 3. The game play was a tad bit annoying.. such as hitting the A button to go up stairs. Now for my biggest complant. The final boss is by far the biggest pain in you know where. I rated it this way because in general its a great game but it does not give you enough of certain things.

RE ports on GC- Recommended to a certain demographic only

Many RE fans are giving the Gamecube ports bad reviews citing the fact that "This is the exact same game I played on Playstation! Weak!" Fools, these ports were not made for you.

Resident Evil has been around for eight years now. It started on the Playstation, then it jumped to the Dreamcast, now it's on Gamecube. While true blue RE fans from the Playstation era got themselves a GC so they could play the REmake of the original RE1 and the prequel RE Zero and the upcoming RE4, the majority of Gamecube owners had never played any of the original RE games in their Playstation or Dreamcast incarnations. These Gamecube ports are for them, so they can enjoy the entire series along with us salty veterans.

That said, I personally only recommend RE2 and RE Code Veronica to the newcomers. RE3 adds almost nothing to the continuing storyline. RE3 did have some good gameplay, but it was unsatisfying to me because it had no "Normal" difficulty setting. You had to choose either Easy or Hard. Easy was insultingly too easy, and hard was more difficult than I like. I've never understood why they named it RE3, and named this Code Veronica. RE Code Veronica is the true sequel to RE2; its story literally begins where RE2 ended and then continues forward, whereas RE3 actually begins *before* RE2, and then eventually ends shortly after the events of RE2, feeling quite pointless when all is said and done. Code Veronica should have been given the title RE3, and RE3 should have been titled simply RE Nemesis.

good

I am a huge fan of resident evil. And would have to say i was spoiled by the remake of resident evil and the exclusive resident evil 0 for gamecube. So on this game the graphics arent as good and the game play is a little bit weaker. But over all its a classic resident evil game and thats why i love to play these games, for the mystery and the frightness of it. If you are a fan of resident evil its a must have. I just got it so i cant say how the story unfolds but im sure it is good.

Amazing.

This game is beyond cool. It's the best action/adventure/stragety game ever. Now, I don't know why some give the Gamecube verson of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X three stars rather than giving it four like the PS2 version. They're both the same anyway.
