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.

Before the mansion incedent....EVIL IS BORN

RE0 is by far the best lookin re to date. The graphics are fantastic. JUST PLAY TRAIN MISSION AND YOULL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

The story was very amusing. A rookie cop who partners up with a cuvitctid criminal sounds pretty interisting. The zombies look awsome but not as real as the remake. It goes to show you that gamecube is not a kiddie system and should be taken seriously.
That sad trueth is it is suppose to show you what happend before the mansion incedint but not that much shows you an indethp look at what happend before it. It really didnt tell you that much except about a back look at the leech quenn( he is a dude if you didn't know) But over all it is awsome. I got this game when it first came out. oct,02, sadly i shoulda waited till it turned in to a 19.99 game but still is is awsome. I recomend the remake the most.....You will not be dissapointed if you play the remake. Billy coehen is my most favorite re character ever made

They should use him for a movie. I really enjoyed the fact that he has handcuffs on him through out the entire game. that was cool. THE most realistic part of the game would have to be the train station level.

will at least give this game a try....well cya gamas.

One of the best Gamecube games yet!!!!!!!

This is worthy of the Resident Evill name!!! with superb graphics, controls, gameplay, and fun factor this the best Resident Evil right now, but it won't be for long!!! Resident Evil 4 is going to be one of the best looking games ever and instead of zombies, real people with weopons like pitch forks, chainsaws, and other sharp objects will try to kill you witch will make it a truely scary experience!!!!! This game will keep you busy until Resident Evil 4 comes out sometime this Winter!!!!

One of the best...

This game blew me away. Everything from the first step on the train, to the final battle. As I deeply admired the graphics, which are equal to the REmake, I noticed every blade of grass twitching to the fluid movement of the Hunters (THE Hunters from RE1). The audio is awesome! the soundtrack fitted the game well, and creeps you to the core. The Control system allows you to control Billy Cohen and Rebecca Chambers, and you can fight as one team, instead of individuals. This explains the origins of Umbrella and the T-Virus.
This game is one of the best buys you can get.

Ok at best

Maybe its me but the game lacks the fun that it should have. At first the game is a bit exciting and a little scary than in the middle it gets a little better. However, it goes downhill from there . I reccomend to only rent the game and see the Resident Evil movie because this is jus ok at best.

RESIDENT EVIL O

This game is really fun. The controls are pretty weird, but once you have played the game for a while, you get them down. But occasionally you get into a tight corner and you have to fiddle around with your joystick to get out. The graphics are phenominal, your characters look really awesome. The dialoge can be a little cheesy at times. This game is a really good time, and is pretty scary too. I cant wate for Resident Evil 4!

A great title for the 'Cube! Very underrated.

Resident Evil 0 is the prequal to the original RE. Taking place before the mansion. You play as Bravo Team's Rebecca Chambers [a hottie] and Billy [ a man accused of murder]. When Bravo Team's copter crashes, the team finds a wrecked transport and learns about Billy. Meanwhile, Rebecca investigates a train, and so the nightmare begins...

Gameplay: It's the standard Re gameplay: solve puzzles, survive, kill zombies. But this time there are a few twists. For example, it now has a character switcher. Rebecca and Billy will work together. You can split them up, make them work together, and more. You might need to split up to solve puzzles. Another twist is that this time there are no item boxes, but this time you can drop items and the map will keep track of the items. Lastly, we now have this tough new zombie called a Leech Zoimbie. These things are hard to kill, and are annoying as hell. Even if you blow off their head, they will still be alive.

Graphics: Very realistic. Very detailed, and the cutscenes look awesome.

Sound/Voices: Voices are pretty decent this time. The sound is great.

Overall, a great entry that is somehow underrated. Great for RE fans.

GREAT GAME !!!

Resident Evil 0 is essentially the missing link in the resident evil plot. It fills us in on what happened before the mansion incident. Without this game, your knowledge of Resident Evil will be limited at best. If you pride yourself on keeping up with the story of RE, then you must buy this game. The graphics are also great, and overall the game is a great buy !!! The humanoid leeches (you won't like them) will have you jumpy and anxious about turning any corner, or staying in one area too long. The monkies also will be tough (you won't like them either). But if you keep your wits about you, and stock up on ammo you may make it out alive. This game incorporates a two character system where you can switch between the two at will and the other will accompany the one you are playing as, or the other can stay behind which comes in handy when completing certain puzzles. Overall this is a great buy.

A breath of fresh air

Wow thats an easy way to describe this game because it brings a breath of fresh air into the Re series. Not only does it have mind blowing graphics like the Re:Remake it has a new system with items instead of the box you can drop it anywhere! This is a great idea and more realistic then the teleporting boxes. While the game makes it weird to think it happened before RE because of Rebbecca going through all of it and then being a scared kid in Re. It is a game everyone should own or at least play through with a friends copy.
