Resident Evil 2 - Circa 1998

GOOD:
- An upgrade over the original, which was considered a great game
- Considered classic to many gamers
- Good story, with twists and turns

BAD:
- Graphics look very dated
- Voice acting is not that great
- Controls feel dated

WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
- Slow moving "survival horror" game, which is more about moving boxes, managing items, and unlocking doors then actually fighting for your life
- A Sc-Fi horror game set in a city over run with zombies, huge snakes, and all types of creatures

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Dino Crisis
- Silent Hill
- Alone in the dark

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- There is a remake of this game for the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Game Cube both of which don't really upgrade anything
- The male playable character (Leon) is also the star of Resident Evil 4
- Beating the game in a certain way can unlock two new characters "Hunk" and "Tofu"
- There was a rumor that you could unlock Akuma from Street Fighter Alpha as a playable character, but that is not true
- In Japan Resident Evil 2 is called Biohazard 2

Possibly the best Resident Evil next to 3..

Resident Evil 2 was one of the best Psx games back in the mid 90's as it had exclusive rights to Sony. The game was the sequal to one of the best Survival Horror game ever. Does this do better then its prediseccor?...YES. OH HELL YES. The game is a solid good game. The story line is really entertaining but it was more of a sci fi then a horror story. I won't spoil the story for you but the game is 2 discs and you control 2 characters(serpartly) in the game. One is a cop named Leon Kennedy and the other is female after her missing brother Chris(who was in RE1)and the two end up meeting eachother and the rest you can figure out..
I really enjoyed this game, it was fantastic. I loved the graphics for this game it was just "wow". The game is pretty short if you play only one half of the character you play as. They both have 2 parts(kina). Once you complete that characters game it opens up the second of half of the other character. The game is fairly lenghy if you play the WHOLE game. The game has some great twists that'll keep you up all night. Lemmi make it easier for you...Resident Evil 2 was one of the coolest Playstation games ever. It had an awesome story line, sweet graphics and decent dialoug. It is also spooky in the scare factor especially when you see something crawl around a window in the beggining of the game. In other words the game is awesome and scary.

The graphics for that time were just great and comparable to Metal Gear Solid. The character model for Leon and Clair was amazing and the zombies looked even more creepy then before, not to mention the bloody gore in this game....jeez. Capcom did a great job making the graphics. kudose..

The gameplay is what really made me love this game. Gun n' down zombies and solving puzzle...my type of game baby. The Puzzle are not that hard but they are pretty cool. The gameplay never gets boring and the boss fights are really cool. The gameplay may turn some off in the beggining. Mainly cause it's just runing away from zombies but later on that will change...trust me..

The sound is incredible! The zombies sound so realistic and the music for the boss fights are magnifecent(my spelling sucks I know). The sound it self deserves a one star...

What turned me off was the "kina cheezy sci fi" story. It didn't have the same spooky feeling Resident Evil 1 had in story...which causes me to take off one star...Well yeah it was a stupid move just for that but hey that's my opinion...

The games has amazing graphics, great sound, lots of awesome gameplay and is one of my favorite video game series. Not only that it may possibly be the best in the series if not then It's 3.

This game deserves a

4.8 out 5....

Resident Evil series is a superb series and anyone who loves survival horror will love it. I personaly think it's one of the best gaming series out but I don't have ALL the resident Evil games.. The only ones I have are the one that go with the story like the ones I have are

And for any newbie out there who is trying to get into the series, if you have a gamecube and get the remake of the original and start with that...then 2, 3 then Resident Evil zero which is a really enjoyable Resident Evil game...Well

Lates..

Capcom does it again !!!!! (resident evil 2)

It was agood game for Psone. I thought it was one of the easiest games besides RE3 and RE1. The zombies were harder to kill though.On RE1 it took 3 shots on this it took 7 shots. The only enemy that is hard is the tyrant.Thanks for reading my review of whoever read it!
GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!

Capcom's incredible blockbuster follow up

Capcom followed up the surprise success of the original Resident Evil with this blockbuster smash in 1998. Resident Evil 2 had everything the original had plus tons more; bigger more detailed environments, weirder puzzles, more suspense, more blood and gore, and a compelling story that kept the gamer on the edge of their seat. In this installment you play as rookie cop Leon Kennedy or Claire Refield: the sister of Chris from the first game. Instead of a secluded mansion like the first game, this time all of Raccoon City has been infected by Umbrella's virus and you have to wade through an assortment of flesh eating zombies, mutated dogs, hunters, a new monster called the Licker (whose introduction in the game is one of the most unforgettable parts in any video game), and some unbelieveably grotesque beasts who will stop at nothing until your dead. Resident Evil 2 was an instant smash hit upon it's release and has since been regarded as a classic video game and an essential play for any gamer. Since then, the game has been re-released on other systems such as the Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and most recently the Gamecube; so now gamers of any generation can play one of the most addicting and innovative games of all time.

no, no, no

There's a lot of hype surrounding the Resident Evil series of games. They're on most systems, there are books, and even a movie. The story is a good one, but I found the game to not be so great. Graphics are alright, the sound is bad though. And game play is horrible. Trying to move around is difficult and can be confusing, especially when you're under attack and things are chaotic. The characters move unlike most games. You don't go in the direction of the D-pad, rather you turn with right and left direction and move with a button. It was poorly designed. But since the Playstation 2 is out, and better games as well as more Resident Evil, there's no reason to pick up this game anymore. The 2-disc set here is one adventure with a male character and another with a female. The game is involved, just not as much fun as it shoud be

the best

I believe this game attracted the attention to the horror-rpg genre so that there is now a number of games who have similiar elements and have improved here and there.. but this one started the ball rolling.

**Warning: it has lots of blood, walking zombies oozing who knows what, gun violence, mangled corpses, horribly disfigured "things", and so on..

And I loved every moment of it.

There are some definite improvements from the original (walking up stairs/ going through doors/etc. much faster). It is less cheesy or B-movie -ish than the first one; moving more into a serious horror (though NOwhere near as scary as Silent Hill) flick.

This game will definitely suck you in. Actually, if you really want to get into it, turn off all the lights, shut the blinds, lock the doors, and for goodness sakes don't let anyone/thing sneak up on you while you're playing because you will come close to peeing your pants, I promise.

Suspenseful, great story (different for each of the characters), lots of weapons, tons of spooks..some which sneak up on you like the good badies they are, puzzle-situations which you actually need a few brain cells to figure out... and it goes without saying: this is a great classic.

Get it, you won't regret it. I highly recommend it. (If it wasn't so good, why would they be coming out with another one for PSX & DC???)

It is a sweat game. It may have quite a bit of gore but if you don't care how violent it is you will get addicted.

Great game with good graphics.

This is one of my favorite games. It has awesome graphics and the monsters(zombies,rabid dogs,and giant spiders to name a few)are really awesome.You get awesome guns and explosives but the game is really creepy as you go through abandoned buildings and don't know what's around the next corner.I'd recomend this game alot.
