Resident Evil Gaiden on GBC

To be quite honest, I love this game and no matter how much of a bad rep it gets, thats not gonna change the fact that this is masterpiece. The thing is, these days there is all of the new systems and games(not to trash the PS3) that nobody takes the time to give the so-called old games a chance to show their stuff. That is exactly whats going on here, thats why I'm doing this review, to show you that this game is great and that you'll love it if you give it a chance. So here you go, my review on Resident Evil Gaiden.

The story: Barry Burton, one of the members of the famous S.T.A.R.S from the original tale of survival horror, Resident Evil, is sent to investigate the dissapearance of Leon, the hero of the second Resident Evil. Leon was supposed to be aboard of the luxery cruise liner the STARLIGHT, tracking a B.O.W that is running loose on board. It is now up to Barry to find Leon and terminate the B.O.W, but has a poem Barry learned as a child come back to haunt him?

Graphics: the graphics are clean and very colorful, this really makes the experiance fun and interesting. I really admire the attention to detail through-out the cut-scenes and the first-person mode is pretty well done as well.

Sound: The music is dark and creepy, kind of like halloween. The weapons sound realistic and pretty cool, great for a GBC game.

Gameplay: The exploration is fun and exciting in the way that you never know what you're gonna find. The combat has sort of an RPG feel in the way that an enemy can touch you and a battle will start(this can also be done from a distance by taking aim and targeting one of the plentiful zombies).
The subject of battle is an interesting one, the shooting and slashing are done in a detailed first person mode, where a targeting reticule moves back and forth while you try and hit the enemy's range of fire in the middle to attempt a head shot(if you are successful, you will be rewarded with a grousome sight of blood shooting from the enemy's head).

My conclusion is that if you like the Resident evil series, get the this game today. You are going to be amazed at its endless ability to totally freak you out, you are really gonna love this game!

I can't honestly see how Resident Evil Survivor got lower scores than this game. This game stars Leon Kennedy (The guy from RE2 and 4) and the game begins on a ship filled with zombies and you must make your way through it. Sounds like a good old-fashioned zombie slaughter-fest right? Unfortunately, mostly that's wrong. This game features perhaps the stupidest method of killing zombies I have ever seen (Let alone any game I've played). Here's how it works; there is a strange scale with a rectangular thing that goes back and forth on the scale and since your enemies are in front of you, you can only hit them when the rectangular thing passes them... yes, it's as confusing as it sounds. The graphics look okay for a Game Boy Color game, but they need work. What manages to save this game from disaster is the creepy vibe, creepy music, and overall okay presentation of the game. The puzzles feel about the same to its PSone console cousins; find certain things like keys to unlock new areas along with an assortment of other things. The zombies still have their decomposing glory in their looks, and the fact Leon is on this game manages to salvage most of the presentation. But its stupid killing methods and the lack of a deeper game will probably leave most handheld fans disappointed, if you want a Resident Evil handheld go buy Resident Evil: Deadly Silence for the DS instead. Also, the game is a little less clear on objectives than its console cousins as well, so you will get lost and confused. Unless you're a rabid RE fan there isn't much to check out on this game. Oh, and Capcom, why can't you shoot with the A button while aiming with the B button? Seriously, it would have been much better if it didn't have that stupid scale.

resident evil at its best!

Horrible! I love the resident evil games, but this one sucks. When you are battling a zombie you are taken to first person shooting. I think it was a big mistake.

You sould not buy this.

Gameboy was not a good choice for a Revil game.

This is the worst resident evil game. The character used was... wow... undescribeable (in a bad way.) The game is not really good, it's super boring.

The Resident Evil series has had a tried but true tradition of creepy chills and shocks to elevate itself in the survival horror genre, it's just too bad that none of that matters on this nearly pitiful attempt to bring the series to a portable system (on the Game Boy Color of all systems nonetheless). You get to play as Leon (the hero from Resident Evil 2) and Barry (one of the heroes from the original Resident Evil) and go up against an army of Umbrella undead on an ocean cruiseliner. That might sound good on paper on a next-gen home system, but on the GBC the idea falls flat thanks to the system's limitations. Gaiden features some innovation: the game is played on an overhead view and switches to a 2-D first person perspective when you encounter an enemy. The graphics however are pretty bland, as is the sound. Control is pretty tight, but you won't notice that as you wander around looking for the ever so tiring "find the key to open the door" type puzzles. With all this thrown in Gaiden gets repetitive and boring, and you will likely not finish the game due to being disgusted with it. All in all, Resident Evil Gaiden is a must play for Resident Evil fans, but you won't find anything to hold you to it. Then again, it is better than Resident Evil: Survivor.
