Rating: - The Terror Continues??
Well Capcom has done it again! they have re-released another of the great resident evil series, but is it really worth the money that you paid? Unfortunately, i am starting to question that. i love resident evil, between all the systems that i have, i have every game. i love em, but i must say that i am rather dissappointed with the newest release of RE2. If you have played Zero and RE1 for gamecube, and are expecting those graphics in RE2, then save your money cause they are just not there. Its unfortunate too because those other games kicked some serious zombie A**! but i must say that the arranged game is quite a fun addtion to the game, although it is on the copy of the dreamcast version. if you want to keep your collection or resident evil games going and you have 45 bucks (or so) to spend then pick this game up, but if you budget is tight and you have this game for other systems, then wait and play what you have.
Rating:  - Oldschool graphics, but... who really cares?
Do you want to know how much fun Resident Evil 2 is?With a total of 4 different possible scenarios as Leon and Claire, 2 minigames involving a soldier and a piece of tofu, loads of replay value, some of the scariest moments you'll ever witness in a videogame, there's nothing to dislike about Resident Evil 2. Well, maybe the dated graphics. But everything else makes up for it. You start the game as Leon or Claire. Depending on who you choose and what you do, you will slightly alter the story when you finish the game as the second character, ultimately making for 4 total ways to play the game, and 4 *slightly* different endings in total. RE2 has some of the scariest monsters you will ever encounter, including the Licker, in his first (and only- so far) appearance in a standard RE game. And who can forget the infamous mirror scene... oh, you haven't played it before? Well what are you waiting for? The Gamecube version has sharper resolution, however everything else about the game remains untouched (unlike Capcom's complete makeover of the original Resident Evil for Gamecube). So if you already own RE2 for Playstation, Nintendo 64 or Dreamcast, there's not much new here... but if you've never played it before, you have no excuse for not getting it... NOW! Resident Evil 2... If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will.
Rating:  - Buy only if you do not have a PS1 or PS2
I have it. After beating Resident Evil Zero & the remake of the first, I wanted to jump right in on GC's RE2. There are slightly faster frame rates and a different use of controls to support the GC's controller. That's all.The RE2 PlayStation Dual Shock Version with the original and rearranged data is the same as this passed off port. I don't need to review the game itself, it is another chapter in the saga that is well-known to fans. If you don't have a PlayStation1 or 2, then this is a solid buy. If you've never played RE2 and don't have the PS, it is a solid buy again. Whoever is making up the stories about the better graphics or a remake is fooling you. Don't get me wrong, RE2 is a great game, but it is a port. Graphics, game, content and all. I rated it 3 stars because of the marketing tactic. The original PS version is a 4.5 star game. You'll notice that this review will be posted on Nemesis (RE3) as well because Capcom did the same with that one.
