This game is pretty well done actually! This is a definite addition to the series as a prequel! The game's story takes place before the first Resident Evil takes place. This time you get to witness the beginning of Umbrella's mess in the eyes of Rebecca Chambers along with Billy Coehn. What's unique about this over the first series however is the "Buddy System" and the "inventory"!

The buddy system works just fine and it is pretty fun to fight along side with your partner. One thing I noticed though is that to easily get a zombie off of you "WITHOUT" taking damage is to have your partner shoot them off of you! That's just one example on how working with your buddy is essential when solving puzzles, playing on hard mode, and especially the bonus game you get after beating the game! Loading times aren't too bad when switching from one character to another even if they're in another room. Gamecube is really a powerful system to innitiate short loading times!

The inventory is pretty neat too! Not much of a huge change but you get drop unwanted items anywhere in the game! What's good about that is that you don't have to go back to a storage box like in the other Resident Evil games! Your map will locate the exact spot on where you left the items! It works really well in the game plus with the new "Buddy System", it's essential to do such action.

Great game, great new buddy system, inventory works well, almost flawless. I just wish the ending shows more things but you should see for yourself. The bosses are pretty cool but too bad some of them are a little too easy for their appearance! Pre-rendered graphics works exactly like the remake of Resident Evil 1 and it's still breathtakingly stunning! Controls is just like all the other Resident Evils with the exception of Resident Evil 4 and it's still the same! Nothing wrong with it at all! If you played all the other Resident Evil series before 4, then you should be used to it by now and for me, the controls are flawless! Try not to compare this over Resident Evil 4 or you may not enjoy this at all! This game should be judged by it's quality and is however an instant classic! Great game, worth buying!

Great new buddy and inventory system

Item Management

I am a big fan of the Resident Evil series; however, I felt this game was just not up to par with the others. Overall game was boring and I had no motivation to play. The game became nothing more than item managment. Who can carry this, so I can pick up this, and then combine this so I can have room for this, leave this here, and have Billy pick it up, so I can transfer bullets to him to make room for this. OH yeah, where did I drop that knife?? The whole item system took the fun out of this game.

First of all before you buy this game get a memory card for Gamcube. This game is really fun, hard puzzles, shotguns, magums, MP5's, grenade launchers, and many more guns can be added into your arsenal of your two character. Why is there durablility from a video game; I'm not going to throw it off a 5 story building. And people who play this game are out of school or almost out of school. We'll I'm only 12 and a half, but I'm into shoting creatures that question the worlds being. And the hard puzzles teach the mine to be sharp and alert. And also it's pretty scary and suspense full having a zombie come out of freezer. Over all get this game!!!!

The root of all evil is still fun

After several years of encountering zombies, there's no doubt, the Resident Evil series has definitely aged. When Capcom signed an exclusive deal with Nintendo to bring the series to the GameCube, it still brought little hope to the already tired RE formula. After the impressive Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil Zero was finally released. Gamers had to wait nearly four years for the game to come out, due to the jump from the N64. However, the results are still exceptional. While its been argued that RE0 is still flawed and failed to offer anything drastically new to the Resident Evil saga, it is still very much fun nonetheless.

The game follows the events one day prior to those that took place during the mansion incident, when the Bravo Team was ultimately wiped out. One of its survivors, Rebecca Chambers, meets up with Billy Coen, an escaped convict. The story attempts to explain who established Umbrella and the origins of the T-Virus. While gamers were disappointed to know that it produced more questions than answers, RE0's story is more interesting than the RE remake. Also, the relationship between Rebecca and Billy is the most realistic in the entire series. Graphics-wise, its a masterpiece. Wine bottles move flawlessly, curtains flap in the wind, and dust trails behind you. The rain and water effects are also stunning. The sound is also welcome to one's ears. Silence is often utilized to instill impending fear, while the voice-acting has improved. The music is adrenaline-inducing when suddenly attacked, and calm during moments of relief. The graphics and sound create the perfect atmosphere, with some of the best audio-visual presentations of any game thus far.

The Resident Evil series has always reinvented itself control-wise with each consecutive release, and Resident Evil Zero contains its share of unique gameplay. This time around, the magical item boxes are gone, which allows the player to drop items anywhere they please. Zero's zapping system gives you the ability to switch between characters on the fly. This inventory system will be clunky and frustrating to first-timers and even to RE veterans. It takes time getting used to. The game forces you to manage your items carefully between the two characters and make sure both remain alive. Its up to the player how to figure out puzzles using one or both characters. With Rebecca and Billy at your disposal, you can either go solo or team up on enemies, strategically saving ammo and each other. It isn't all perfect, however. At times, your computer-controlled partner may not respond to attacks accurately. Although the inventory and battle systems aren't perfectly polished, RE0 is the most innovative Resident Evil game since Nemesis.

Resident Evil 0 is the least scariest of all the RE titles and it touches on all-too familiar territory. These reasons explain why it is also one of the least appreciated games. Managing the inventory will certainly turn people off, but another run through will definitely help you become better, it will make you like the game a lot more. The game's combat system is also cumbersome, but its fresh idea offers something new to the fold. By now, the RE series has grown old and overdone. It has come to a point to where the usual RE traditions have become too predictable, and the tried-and-true gameplay is just routine now. Even though Resident Evil 0 was not exactly the breakthrough title gamers and RE enthusiasts hoped it would be, it is not a bad game by any means. Avoid comparing it to other RE titles and simply enjoy what the game has to offer. Even after several years of the same zombie killing and puzzle solving, this Evil outing may still offer a night of fun.

Hmmm.

Its weird. It has everthing I love about all the other Resident Evil's and more it just feels like somethings missing. Graphics - check!
Sound - Check
Character Development - check
Monsters - Check
Plot - Check
Gameplay...That was it. The partner zapping system gets annoying after awhile. It does add to the strategy and everything but it gets kind of annoying after the tenth time your partner dies. Plus no storage crates? Come on, its pretty hard carrying everything with you. And the leech zombies, hey they're awesome but they keep killing off my character without even knowing it. Plus ALOT of backtracking.
So why 4 stars after these complaints? It's *Beep* awesome after you get passed those parts. The train level is unbelievable and so are the graphics. The plot is great and the gameplay is seemingly endless.
Overall a great addition if you can over look those little mundane details. A great addition to the resident evil legacy.

More than "0" i give it "5 S.TA.R.S."!

pardon the titile's pun, but RE0 in my humble opinion, the BEST sequel since resident evil 2.
(RE3 was just a side story and CODE Veronica didn't live up to my expectations...how does capcom explain wesker's new super powers? this is resident evil, not street fighter?!!?)

as amny of you are aware of the premise, ZERO takes place which leads to the duley noted events within the T-virus polluted mainsion (resident evil) you play as STARS medic rebecca chambers or escape ex marine billy cohen.

the story does a great job of covering the plotlines which leads to the first resident evil. it also focuses on billy's backstory
with a theme of redemption.

the graphics have vastly improved over the RE remake. although the zombies and situations are nowhere as frightening as it's predicessor instead RE0 was more of a straight foward actioner
it was like playing a movie and speaking of which THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PLOT OF THE RESIDENT EVIL MOVIE INSTEAD OF THE
DISAPOINTING LIVE-ACTION FLICK FROM LAST SPRING. GOD BLESS STORY EDITORS FLAGSHIP!!

umbrella throws everything at you from giant cockroaches to prototype TYRANTS. but the worst of the bunch are the leech zombies, hard to kill and explode when you kill em.

the locales are very familiar from RE2
there's even a scene within umbrella's underground lab where STARS captain enrico meets up with becky and who can forget her haunting narrative.."and that was the last time i saw him.."

the partner swapping feature adds plenty of stagety towards the game, but this time ya gotta take EVERYTHING with you..no storage crates for you..heh heh!
the FINAL boss was also reminiscent of RE2'S Birkin, and the ending was very cool though simplistic or predictable.

i didn't care much for the LEECH HUNTER minigame. it was RE0'S plot and storyline which gathered my interest as i played this excellent game. thanks CAPCOM!! (0=

The Best Resident Evil Ever

This is the scariest game I have ever played. Who says the GameCube is a kiddy system ? Nintendo is starting to do some spring cleaning. It's a good Thing they used the graphics engine from the origial because the combination of scary music and state of the art graphics is what makes it scarry. This might even surpass other survivor horror games such as Silent Hill, Clock Tower, and Eternal Darkness. It has new monsters new weapons and new puzzles. Dont let any children under 8 view this because they will have nightmares for a week. Be sure to buy a guide becuase without it you won't know what you are doing. Why not try RE0 today? what have you got to loose? Buy this now!!!!!!!!!!

Prequel of pure resident terror!

It's amazing how many Resident Evil's Capcom has produced so far. And I have to admit, the magic's still there. It's like the release of a chronology of books, you have to wait years to finally get the next installment of the series. This is what Resident Evil is. It's doesn't matter that not much has changed from one game to the next, it's all about the narrative and where the characters are being taken.

Resident Evil Zero, is set before the events of Resident Evil. You take control of Rebecca Chambers, who made a small cameo in the original, and Billy Coen, a completely new character. Forced together to solve the mystery of Racoon City's murders and the disappearance of Rebecca's squad, you basically take them to familiar locations and more gothic locales. Graphically updated to utilise the power of the Gamecube. Locales are vivid and creepy.

It's an interesting concept, having this game set before all the others. Events are explained, but not always as it seems. By the time you finish the game, you're left with more questions than answers, . But as I said earlier. It's like curling up with a great book. Once you come to the end, you anticipate the next installment. And I definitely can't wait until the next one is released!

AwEsOmE!@!
