Summary: i love your game
Review: ... I love the game, it has the best features and it has the best storeline that i have ever seen. The really only problem is that it is to unclear what to do. other than that it is the best game in the world. I am sorry to say that there are no better game than it. It is so easy i have beaten it over 13 times. I really wish you would make more games like it.

Thanks ...

Summary: Not Unlike A sip of Soda after a desert...
Review: ...damn good but with just a little too much thickness to go down right.

Resident Evil 2 is a console game. Its' move to PC is...questionable. But while it may not be the next generation of gaming goodness, it allows all the PC owners of the world a chance to immerse themselves in one of the greatest console games of all time.

RE 2 is the second and perhaps most epic of the RE games. Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield are likeable and active charactors who, with time and...well...more time, will grow on you. The cast of secondary charactors and monsters are both creepy and delightful. Best of all, the weapons are good enough to make Duke Nukem drool a little. Pack this into a survival horror package, where one must carefully husband ammo and always be prepared and you have a game with a perfect mix of tension and action.

But it is not a computer game. To make that tension thick the designers chose to create save points and sometimes painful camera angles. It is too easy to run through the game if you can save just before every door. Instead, you'll fling the controller across the room because you got jumped by a zombie dog and hashed to shreds, leaving you farther back in the game. It just makes keeping alive a little more important (as a note, though the "print cartriges" required to save seem scarce, they are really almost too common)

Others may come to hate the limited space one has to carry items. Any good first person shooter allows a much larger range of munitions and keys to hold at once. In RE 2, you get about 8 slots. That means if you carry the beloved pistol for zombie shooting, its ammo, and the life saving shotgun for anything else (with its ammo) you have 4 slots to carry any health, keys, or back-up weaponry you want or find. Trust me, its really scary to bring a knife to a gun fight, or a pistol to a rocket fight. Much of the puzzle system runs along these lines. Some require you to place 4 or more pieces into a key hole. But you can't just find them and take them there, you have to carry other things. This means you will have to find them, place them in the item box ( a magical, multi-locational box that will hold everything you own and be reached in many places) then go find the others before finally gathering them all and opening the puzzle. Sound tedious? Strangley the game manages to keep you plenty busy in between so it never really becomes too much of a problem.

As for the bad camera angles, they had to stay in the game. To build in a moving camera would have destroyed the game. I tell you now, there is something creepy about hearing the patter of zombie feet, know they are out there, and just not know where they are. If not for the useable, venerable auto-aim function, I too would have screamed every time I ran headlong into the arms of a zombie. As it is...The unseen Giant spider is my personal bane.

So in conclusion, at 20 dollars, you are buying a game beloved by Play Station and Dreamcat owners the world across. But it will drive the hardcore PC player insane. But even if this hypothetical PC owner can somehow make his way past the glareing downfalls of this game, he will enter the World of Resident Evil, a land where the dead walk and bullets are scarce.

Summary: It is my most favorite game.
Review: Actually speaking, I never find a more interesting game like this. It is not so difficult as the R.E1 but still you have to use your mind to find the solutions to the puzzles. What's more, the game consists of two stories and they take place at the same time. You must finish the first one before the second part. No other game has such features.

Review: GRAPHICIS ARE TERRIBLE, PSX VERSION DOES IT ALL.

Summary: Resident Evil 2
Review: I hate it. The controls are very awkward and you cant use the mouse. The graphics are not that great either. It is not a third person shooter, The screen doesnt move and it is one background after another and different camera angles for each frame, once the charecter would be going in sides and straight ahead in another. It is very hard to move the central charecter, takes a ... of time time you get the correct angle to shoot the zombies following you, how does one play this game with such a bad playability. You would get very far. Bad Bad Bad I hate it.

Summary: resident evil
Review: I meet and exceed the system requirements and can't get the stupid thing to run right. No sound, open driver error message, support offers none either. and that's with or without voodo 5500 3D accelerator. I want my money back..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Love the game, but...
Review: I originally played this game on the Sony Playstation, and was hooked instantly. I got really caught up in the game while staying at my friend's house for a couple days. When it was time to go home, I was most of the way through the game, and really wanted to know how it ended, but unfortunately I didn't own a Playstation. Eventually I bought it for the PC, thinking it would be even better on the PC, as everything is better on the PC. But it [wasn't]. I have a 32 MB video card, and a system far superior to what it's looking for. But the graphics were large and blocky, completely losing any beauty to the game, and the cutscenes kept locking up on me initially. But I stuck with it and beat the game, because I wanted to know how it ends. I love the game, and I love the series, but don't buy this game for the PC. I was pretty disappointed. I hope Res Evil 3 is better for the PC.

Summary: Wicked just wicked
Review: Is this suppose to be a cool game, I bought it reading all those positive reviews. I cannot understand people like it. The system requirements are quite high. The graphic are not very cool and the control is not very evident. The puzzles are not that fun to solve either, and story what great story does it have. Scary game indeed the zombies move like the baddies in Ed wood's movie and the voice acting is one of the worst even in computer game history. It has a time limit to play and you get to play only for a very short time. It is made by capcom i cant belive they are the same guys who gave classics like Street Fighter. Not even worth one star but unfortunatly can't give less on the amazon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great game!
Review: It's easier than teh first one, but it has a better plot, and the fact you can play almost 4 different games... You'll never get bored of it... Try it... Capcom rules!
