Resident Evil Zero brings out some new features for new players. You can leave items witch is a relief, play with two charectors, new monsters, and three new places to explore. THe game does have less intense movies, and it turns up the notch in gore. The game also has more puzzles and rooms than the PS.

The plot of the game is simple, stay alive. The game lets you play on either easy, normal, or hard. Each one gives you a slightly different setting. The harder you make it, the harder it is to kill monsters and find ammo. I've played it on all, but it still a hard game.

The best feature yet is the Leech Hunter mini game! You can dress up your charectors and win stuff if you beat it. It is hard to do because it gives you no handgun ammo or grenades, and no more Molotovs. The monsters seem to pop out rapidly and there is a endless supply of hunters. Its worth it, and you don't have to beat it to earn things.

Resident Evil Zero brings awsome new features, modes, and little surprises to the saga. Who could forget the end whe Billy fires the last Magnum bullet at the queen in slow-mo? Who could forget when Bio Dr. Marcus turns into some...weird creature? And nobody blames Billy after his wonderful tale with the gorillas! Resident Evil Zero is so far one of the best games yet!

Classic if familiar Evil

What's strange about a series like Resident Evil is that with 5 main canon games (1, 2, 3, Code Veronica and Zero) before 4 overhauled the series for the better, many were complaining about the lack of gameplay innovation and Capcom's tendency to stick to the same thing many grew to despise over the years and yet we almost forgive the same thing with series like Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, Halo or Legend of Zelda. So Zero in a sense is the last time the old gameplay will be featured and while there's a couple of new innovations and refinements, it's still the same and like the saying goes: it might not be the best but it's certainly better than anyone else doing the same thing.

Story: Taking place before the mansion incident of Resident Evil, Rebecca Chambers of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team is en route in helicopter investigating strange murders when they experience engine trouble and make an emergency landing. While exploring, Rebecca finds an empty train and encounters Billy Coen, an ex-marine who was scheduled to be executed when he escaped. The 2 have to team up in order to survive and in the process, learn about the founders of Umbrella and many other secrets.

Graphics: The REmake boisted some of the most atmospheric and all-around immaculately detailed graphics the Gamecube has ever seen. While it doesn't have that great art design the mansion and its surroundings brought, Zero is a step-up with even more realistic shadows and lights, especially during the train where lights whiz past the windows and throw quick shadows on the floor. The creatures are just as messed up and awesome as well but the color palette is kind of, I don't know, bland.

Sound/Music: What was odd about the REmake was that there was a lot of really eerie, atmospheric music yet most of the time it mainly used the sound effects to set the tone and Zero makes better use of the sound spectrum with so many sounds and creepy music to provide its weirdness. The voice acting, while still B-movie in nature, is a bit more improved and not as annoying.

Gameplay: Same control scheme so veterans will not have issues but newbies will definately feel the learning curve. Basically, wherever your character is, pressing Up will always be forward and Down will make them back up. In a 3D environment, it does feel awkward but if you've played previous games, you'll know what to expect so it's not as big an issue. But the big gameplay change is the zapping system where you control Rebecca and Billy at the same time where you can either have them follow you or make them stay in place (a la Ashley in Resident Evil 4). Some puzzles require teamwork. One early example is Billy is locked in a room with a jammed door, a dumbwaiter and a key. He puts the key in dumbwaiter, switch to Rebecca who grabs it, unlocks a door to get an Ice pick, send it back to Billy who uses it to unlock the door. Some of it is clever while others aren't used to their full potential. Also, the partner can be set to Action where they'll attack the enemy who's trying to grab you or Idle where they just sit there, helping conserve ammo. It's not as cumbersome as you'd expect and it's even welcome in some areas.

The other gameplay change is in regards to the item boxes. While I personally never had an issue with them, many had an issue with having to walk back everywhere to deposit an item you don't need yet or ever or get an item that's required for story advancement. Now in Zero is the ability to drop items whenever you want with a handy map that tells you not only what's there but the specific location on the map. While it's incredibly useful to get rid of ammo for a gun you don't even have, there's times where you leave them in close proximity to another and have to somehow accurately put your character over it to pick it up, plus there's just way too many items, from herbs to ammo to bigger weapons retaining their taking up 2 spaces aside from REmake's one slot (a major letdown), they'll just be a lot of stuff to sift through.

As far as the difficulty is concerned, it's a little bit more annoying than the REmake was since while gone are the Crimson Heads, in its place are leech zombies who have a loooong reach with their tentacles, can withstand several grenade blasts and even explode before they die, making it hurt even more. Advice is to avoid at all costs, then of course there's big toads and agile monkeys and with narrow hallways and cluttered rooms, you'll end up running into a lot of monsters. While the series has always recommended you save ammo and run, it should be greatly emphasized here.

Resident Evil Zero is certainly a welcome addition to the series with its creepy atmosphere, gameplay mechanics and its story but one can see why 4 became the overhaul that changed the series for the better.

Gimme gimme gimme :)

I own resident evil 1 and I thought that game was awesome.

Few weeks ago I saw the latest trailer of Resident evil zero, and I was truly astonished. Even better graphics then part one and more fmv's are added which makes the game a must for every die hard Resident evil fan, including me.

Still Resident Evil but..

Yeah, there is no doubt that this is another Resident Evil game which is both good and bad. While it has the classic 'creepy' feel to it there are many strikes against this one. First of all, the controls. For well over five years the controls have been a problem, yet they've never been changed. I've learned to deal with the slow moving characters and the clunky control of them but this time around it's just not forgivable. The games control was clearly not intended for the Gamecubes controler. I didn't mind it as much in the remake because it was a lot less harder and you had room to move, plus if you did manage to get attacked you had automatic defense weapons, something that would have helped this one a lot! Anyway, there are a lot of tight spaces in RE0 with enemies wondering around in them, so odds are you are going to get hit a few times. Billy is tough but Rebecca can't take nearly as much damage, which leads to dying which then leads to sobbing in frusteration because you haven't saved in over an hour, I take the blame for that part though. One thing I actually miss are the item chests! Sure it is great to drop items whenever and where ever, but that only leads to more backtracking to get those items when you need them. I never had any trouble with the item chests. Another thing regarding item managment; why can you only hold 6? You do have two people with you for most of the time which in total you can hold 12 items but I always found my item box full. Maybe that's because for the first time ever the shotgun takes up two spots, as do most other weapons except for the handgun. On the subject of weapons, it would be nice if your enemies were more effected by them. There will be a lot of hits taken because your weapons don't make that much of an impact against some creatures. When a game is hard just because it's cheap not even worth playing. That's not saying I didn't like RE0, sure it has it's share of faults but it is worth playing. It's still the same Resident Evil we know and love it's downfalls are just to much this time. The game itself is still scary and fun. It doesn't have the same impact as it used to, but the atmosphere makes up for the lack of new additions. Everything in this game is very creepy, thanks to the great graphics and sound. Anyway for Resident Evil fans this game is still worth getting everyone else though it's a sure rental. I still can't wait for 'Resident Evil 4' though!

Check it out!!!

i love biohazard/resident evil. unfortunately, capcom changed a few things that were staples of RE: 1) no item boxes. what the heck were they thinking? 2) instead of letting the story put you in control of another character, which was very cool in previous REs, you have to keep track of two characters at all times in this one. big mistake. it was much more frightening when you were off adventuring around in creepy mansions or wherever by yourself, only to run into other people infrequently. solving puzzles/perfoming tasks with two players [stinks]. and you'd better make sure you're in control of rebecca at all times because if you try to run away and there are two zombies around her she is so weak that she will die almost immediately which is... since you as the player didn't do anything wrong. i did give RE0 2 stars though because it is an incredibly gorgeous game.

I Love Resisent Evil Zero!

This is NOT Resident Evil 4. It isn't even close. It is a micro-management nightmare. Coming off of the "high" of RE4, I went right out and got RE0 and RE1. RE4 is one of the best games I have EVER played, on any system... period. And I thought I would continue the fun with all the previous games. NOT SO! It is a very different game.
Usually, when you kill all the bad guys in a room, you have the fun, "reward", of picking up all the "goodies" in the room. Not in this game though... Because of your very limited cary space, you have to start deciding what you are willing to drop, in order to get the new item. And to me, that sucks. Sure, you can go back and pick things up, but it still sucks, and takes away from the atmosphere of the game. Rather than being able to fully sink into this world and feel like you are really in the situation, you are stuck always fighting micro-management puzzles... which completely takes you OUT of the feel of the game.
Now, if that is what you are used to, it may very well be worth your time. But, for me, it just ruined everything.
Graphics, music, sound, story, atmosphere??... I would give it 10 stars if I could in those areas... but, TO ME, the game shoots itself in the foot, and take you OUT of this incredible wold, by creating silly ass micro-management problems.

This game is ... GREAT!

This game is really cool!! I like the new buddy-zapping system. You can also stand back-to-back and shoot in both directions, if you want to. If you are a parent with a child under 17, DO NOT let them purchase this game. There is an excessive amount of vulgarity and violence. For those of you that are older than 17, enjoy the game!Although you have an arsenal of a large number of guns, there is more puzzles than shooting. The puzzles are harder than you can imagine, and as much of a pro gamer as I am, een I cannot figure out these puzzels. If you have played Resident Evil 1, and you know about crimson heads, in Resident Evil 0 there are no crimson heads. SHEESH! At least they could do something nice for you! There is only one zombie I dispise. That zombie is the leech zombie. They are practically invincible, and when you do kill them, (after about twenty shots with a shotgun), they fall apart into leeches, who jump on you and suck the blood from your body, and if you don't kill them, they will form another leech zombie!!!UUURRRRGH!!!!! Also, the main character, Rebecca, is killed extremely easily by just about anything, and sometimes, you are FORCED to send Rebecca on solo missions.
All in all, this is a great game to purchase for someone UNDER 17!
