Summary: Phatest game on the planet
Review: Resident evil is the best game to be introdued on the planet it is easier but very fun. The plot is excellent with Leon Kennedy and Clair Redfeild as the 2 main S.T.A.R.S of this game extream battle mode is a bit stupid but still fun to blow zombies away and after you beat the first scenerio try to beat the second one which is a lot harder and watch out for the G-Virus creatures.

Summary: Pros, cons, zombies....
Review: The "Resident Evil" games--and perhaps all games in the "survival horror" genre--are about atmosphere. And in that regard, "Resident Evil 2" delivers. The graphics won't wow a hardcore PC gamer, nor will the sound, although the music is effectively eerie. This game offers a some good shocks and good-if-stilted cutscenes, intermixed with some so-so action.

The minuses are serious but not show-stoppers. The graphics and sound effects show the limitations of the consoles they were designed for--no Quake III here, nor even Blood 2, for that matter. (Resident Evil 3 actually goes a good bit farther compensating for this by offering much higher resolutions.)

Saving a game can only be done at a typewriter, and only using a ribbon, of which there are a limited number. I guess that means that if you haven't played through the game by the time you used that last ribbon, you're going to have a =really= long last session. Save game limitations drive PC players nuts, and is compounded here.

The camera angles, while usually quite effective in the atmosphere, also make it, em, challenging, to see what you're doing about a third of the time when you're zombie slaying.

The only other major minus is the dubious pseudo-adventure game puzzles. Find this key, find that key, hook that wheel to that valve, etc. It's not as big a minus as it might seem, because sometimes these slow periods lull you into a false sense of security and set you up for the next good shock. Other times, they're just teidous.

Overall, this game has won me over with its spooky atmosphere and ocassional shocks, but I couldn't call it a classic, unfortunately, at least not this version.

Summary: Bad bad bad bad bad
Review: This game is an unbearably horrible version of Resident Evil 2. My computer is an excellent one and even has a Geforce 3, yet the game either cannot recognize my card or just has bad graphics. It looks like the quality of graphics from the first 3D dos games like Wolfenstine 3D (Not return to Castle Wolfenstine). It only gives me a resolution of something like 320x480. It looks horribly crummy. ...

Review: This game is horrible. At the release of the movie I thought it would be fun to play the game series, then go see the flick. I heard friends rave about this game, so I purchased it and couldn't get myself through the first ten minutes. The camera angle is annoying, the controls clumsy, the gameplay corny. The graphics left this veteran gamer with a sour taste. However, if you like zombies and don't mind its serious flaws, give this one a try. Maybe you'll feel better about it than I did.

Review: This game is the best,it has all the best things and perfection graphics.I would most recommend this product to another person,even if you have the Play Station version...its better cause' it has battle mode.More extra things like a seperate side story and theres another object to accomplish.Not just killing zombies,but you would have to collect bombs before the building blows up.Buy it!NOW! You wont regret it and for 20 dollars...Dont miss out!

Summary: Incredibly frustraing!
Review: This game, while a decent port from the PS version as far as a port goes, is very frustrating. First it's difficult to learn and play, and the graphics sometimes makes gameplay even more difficult. (BTW, it's not really scary.) The most annoying thing for PC gamers is you can't save the game at any point. Instead there are only a limited number of occasions where you can save your progress. The novelty factor is no longer than as there was with the original RE (which was not as novel as the truly original Alone in the Dark).
