This is one of my favorite games that I have ever played. It has great graphics. Great graphics also makes it very gruesome. You can shoot zombie's head off and walk in their puddles of blood and see the blood fly everywhere. You can also see your reflection in mirrors. I don't find it all that scary. It is a little bit frustrating at some times because it is unbelievably hard, like all in the series. All in all it is a masterpeice. Woohoo Capcom. Can't wait for Resident Evil 4!
Resident Evil Zero is pure evil...and pure dissapointment

Resident Evil Zero is yet another sequal to the Resident Evil series on the Nintendo Gamecube. The tricky thing is...This is acctually a Prequal. The game shows how this whole Zombie incident happened. How the Stars Members met there fait and thus the nightmarish adventure of Chris and Jill. In this though our hero's are Rebecka Chambers and Bill Coehn. Both are likable just like Chris and Jill. The game has a simple Plot which I won't get into but I must say this is a great game but also a huge disapointment.
The games biggest aspect was the story! Alot of people wanted a really good, decent god honest truth on how this alstarted. Well it really doesn't expect that this was more of a side story then the real thing. The game gives you somethings like who did all those things in the Mansion in RE1 and some other plots but ultimatley there is just so many plot holes in the game. The game had an ok story but I wish you could have more simpathy for Rebecca and Billy, which you do, but they don't show as much emotion as what Jill and Chris go through. The game does feel like a side story then a real pure prequal/sequal. The game also features some good twists which keeps you playing on and on but not good enough! The game features some RE1 characters like Weskers and Enrico and some more characters that didn't have enough spot light in RE1 or RE0 either! I mean it's a prequal you're suppose to show things before what happend man! Like I said before..there is too much things left out. Now that I got that out of the way..
The gameplay is pretty solid like the rest of RE games and this one is no different. The game is pretty good just as good as the Remake and has some really cool creatures that are not seen in any other RE game. The Crimzin heads are gone but that doesn't take away the feel or fright you get from this game. The game scores big time on music and I really loved the music in this game, especially the parts were you're in the saving room. The game has some really memorable music and is one of my favorites in anygame other then Zelda Oot.
Other then Music and gameplay the visuals in this game are abosolutley incredible and amazing. One of the most memerable parts in the RE series is the Train scenario in RE0 which is absolutley amazing. The graphics and background of the train station is just sooooo realistic. The visuals score big time and are just as good if not better then the visuals on the Remake. The zombies look even more realistic in RE0 then in REmake. Simply...The graphics in this game are awesome and one of the best in the gamecube. The weapons look just as good as the characters and I must say the character models for both Rebecca and Billy look incredible. The visuals in this game Get a * just...Awesome..
The new Zapping system is really great too. It's a great addition to the RE series. You can switch between partners to do puzzles and switch ammo, Guns and medicene. The Zap system is a really fun to but do no think your characters will always be together NO-HO this game will have you fighting for your life...ALONE...in some parts in the game and that's another thing that I loved about RE0 is that when the two main characters are back together you'll feel somewhat...safe..In the game. It's truly a great edition in the game.
OVERALL
Good
-Great gameplay and tons of exploring
-The new zapping system is awesome
-The games story will keep few on the verge of playing all night to say how it all ends...don't!
-The game has amazing visuals and one of the best on the gamecube
-Switching guns, ammo ect makes it tricky but fun.
-lots and lots of Puzzles to solve once again..fun aint it?..
Bad
-More like a side story then the real thing
-some will be dissapointed on how this game ends..overall I mean.
-The game can get annoying with the switching and zapping..
The ugly
-The last boss.eheheh
Overall
Resident Evil had the chance to reveal everything and be one of the best RE ever but it fails...badly! It's a great game but a huge dissapointment at the same time. The game has amazing visuals, great gameplay, lots and lots memerable moments, great music, lots of cool boss battles and nice Puzzles added to it. Besides the whole Zapping system and everything I mention the game should have revealed more.....This seemed like a big side story then a REAL DEAL prequal/sequal...Overall this game is great and...of course..a disspointment and I give it a..
4.3 out of 5 stars..

Maybe fun if it was your first time playing a resident evil

Like the headline says, but the fact that I have been playing this story for over 8 years now makes this a waste of time. I turned it off after an hour. Enough said. Buy Resident Evil 4, its the best one since the Original. Maybe the best of all.
Game is a little Tough

This game isn't really like the other Re games, it now has a buddy system in which you can exchange items, but your inventory is a little cramped aswell. the puzzles are slightly more difficult and the game does lack alot of attention. Rebecca from RE1 is now a playable character, bout time they gave her a game.
A game with one of the best musical scores & weapons.

I got this game hoping that it would surpass the remake. It did in several ways. The music is matching the mood of the game, the detail in the chracter models, environments, & background is just breathtaking. It recaptures the jump out of your seat moment for me. I was freaked out when I was turning the corner & there was a Humanoid Leech coming after me. That's another thing about the game. Besides the mandatory zombies, hunters, spiders & others, there's a new enemy or 2. The Humanoid Leech, a Plague crawler (mutated insect), a frog that seems impossible to kill b/c it's afraid of confronation. I actually felt sorry for the main bad guy because he was betrayed by his own company & assasinated. Besides that this game has some really great music. The gripes that I have with this game is the limited carrying space in the inventory, no item boxes, & the fact that rifle looking weapons like the rocket launcher, the shotgun, hunting gun, & SMG (a bonus weapon) takes up 2 spaces in the inventory screen. I do like the fact however that there's 2 magnums in the game. The normal Desert Eagle model, & a Magnum Revolver. I'd say rent it first to see how you'll like it then if you do like it then buy it for yourself.
WOW!!

This is the best Resident Evil game I played and beaten for that matter. I rented it a long time ago at christmas and was completly blown away by the awesome graphics and sweet gameplay. I had to buy it!! The story takes place before the mansion incident when the Bravo team first crashed in their helicopter. The characters are awesome and the cinematic movies are so cool. If you play it tell the end be ready for a awesome movie. You have got to get this game.
Not the best resident evil

This game is o.k. but there are stupid characters, a stupid show off guy, and a little girlscout! That dosn't sound like the S.T.A.R. team at all! Jill and Chris are cooloer people. This game is also major difficult, unless you are good at theese kind of games. Dead aim and Resident evil 3 are the best ones so use your money on those. I am not saying this game is bad it's a really good game just not the best.
WOW!

This game was awesome... and extremely life like... One of the best from the resident evil series. The only problem with it really is i would sometimes get confused with what character i was playing, and who had what. Other than that the monsters were cool and the whole concept was excellent. A great game, once again, from Capcom... Keep up the good work guys... :)
You don't know what lurks around the corner!

This was my first RE game ever, and at first I didn't do good. I did not conserve ammo at all, and I got up to the mansion. My first encounter with a leech zombie was freaky!!! I was in the bath room, there were no zombies. I collected a bottle and gasoline, and then I was off back to the hall way back to the main room. Then, it appeared! I thought it was another zombie, so I assumed a shotgun was appropiate for this monster. It turned out that I wasted all my shotgun ammo on it, and plus it exploded on me! If you ever encounter one, three molotov cocktails (empty bottle + gasoline) should do the trick! Also, this game has many puzzles, that might require one partner to do something while having the other do something else (rebbeca hitting switch while billy gets hookshot). So, make sure to conserve ammo (you don't need to take out all the zombies you encounter) unless you are in easy mode, then you might be ok.
If you liked the remake of the first one, you'll like this.

It has everything that made GameCube's Resident Evil remake an awesome game...and more. Resident Evil Zero boasts graphics that equal and sometimes surpass its predecessor, better voice acting, frightening sounds & music, and essentially the same controls. The partner-zapping system is very easy to get used to. In this game, you'll explore five dramatically different areas as the odd couple made up of cute rookie cop Rebecca & convict-on-the-run Billy, who, unlike the characters in the first game, have noticably different attributes (Billy can take more damage and move heavy objects, while diminuitive Rebecca can mix herbs & chemicals and squeeze herself into tight places). The enemies you'll encounter are inexplicably hideous & disgusting and sometimes just plain weird (at one point, you'll fight a giant bat in an old cathedral...it feels like a modern-day Castlevania)!
However, there are a few things that haven't improved. The camera angles occasionally present a problem not as evident in the first game. You may also be distracted in the cut scenes by the characters' mouths, which aren't always in sync with the words they're saying. Resident Evil Zero also altogether eliminates the item boxes. This makes the gameplay way more realistic, as you're able to drop your items anywhere and come back and get them later. However, the process can be cumbersome when you advance to a new major area and need to make a few trips back and forth transporting all your items.
The story, of course, is very good. You'll have to put a few things together on your own to completely understand it, but it's very interesting. I'd also like to mention that the ending sequence is very cute (I found the first game's ending to be somewhat cold & unemotional, not to mention short).
To sum things up, Resident Evil Zero is undoubtedly on par with Resident Evil. If you liked Resident Evil, don't miss this one.
