Many people missed this when it came out on Dreamcast. It was later ported to PS2 with the addition of the Wesker Report. The PS2 version was called Code Veronica X, I guess the X stands for Xtra content. The bottom line here is I played the game on Dreamcast and it is one of the best RE games out there right now.

It is the first RE game to be featured in a fully 3D world, the camera follows you except in some areas where the camera is static for effect. It doesn't follow you like a chase cam, but instead the camera is situated somewhere in the room and follows you as you walk by and such.

Another benefit of the 3D engine is that you can have real time lighting from gunfire and explosions. The walls will light up when you fire your shotgun, pistol, etc. No to mention the light affects your character. If the room is dark then so is your character. Light sourcing enables a new realm of reality.

RE 4 coming to gamecube later this year is also featured in 3D. Since the Gamecube is much more powerful than the Dreamcast it looks like everything is prerendered.

Code Veronica is an excellent game and the camera is a lot better than in some RE games. I found only a few spots where you were taken off guard by zombies in tight corridors.

The environments are freaky and very well done. And of course the music is completely dark and forboding just like in the other games from the series. You will not be disappointed. Pre-order now and add this to your collection with no worries.

good

I am a huge fan of resident evil. And would have to say i was spoiled by the remake of resident evil and the exclusive resident evil 0 for gamecube. So on this game the graphics arent as good and the game play is a little bit weaker. But over all its a classic resident evil game and thats why i love to play these games, for the mystery and the frightness of it. If you are a fan of resident evil its a must have. I just got it so i cant say how the story unfolds but im sure it is good.

I bought a GameCube system for just one reason: to play the Resident Evil. The first game's remake was a total masterpiece. Even though I still prefer the first version, the REmake (that's how I call it) is one of the best games in history. The Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis' ports were fine, I've already beaten those games before, but it was always good to buy them again for a very little graphical and sound update and for a trip down Memory Lane, if you know what I mean. Resident Evil Zero wasn't that good, I've expected much more, but the graphics were gorgeous. And now it comes the last game before the long-awaited Resident Evil 4... Resident Evil - Code: Veronica X.
Yes, Code Veronica first appeared in the Sega DreamCast, it was a top-seller in that plataform. Soon, the X version, including some extras, and different things throughout the game, came for the PS2. Another Greatest Hit it was. The GameCube version of Code Veronica is much alike the PS2 version, but it has graphic updates and another different things that differ the GCN's version of the PS2's.
The game soundtrack is fantastic. Not as good as the first game's, but it captures every room's spirit. Almost perfect, no complains. The voice acting is also a great thing, every character has its own style, from the eccentrical Alfred Ashford until the sweet Claire Redfield's voice, everything matches so well. Another score for CAPCOM! Graphically, the game isn't as good as Resident Evil Zero or Resident Evil, the remake, but it's almost there. The character's expressions are really good, even considering this game was originally released in 2000. Approved, graphically. The controls may be a little complicated for begginers, because even though this is a 3D game (yes, it feels great to play Resident Evil in a 3D universe, there aren't pre-rendered backgrounds anymore, like in every other game, it's now fully 3D, and it rocks!), you still must turn and walk, the controls are still almost the same from the other Resident Evil games, if you've played them, you'll get along very fine with this one. And, just a touch in the C Stick and your character turns 180 degrees, it's very helpful. Yes, once you beat this game, there are some extras... I don't want to spoil your surprises, but there are very nice things... This game is going to keep you amused for a while. Oh yes, I must also warn you that this game may be scary for younger children, so I'd recommend this game for 15 and up.
So, my friends, to be ready for Resident Evil 4, you must play, beat and, even better, buy all the five Resident Evil games (REZero, REmake, RE2, RE3, RECVX) already released for the GameCube (they're all avaliable at Amazon.com), because they're all very worthy their prices. Resident Evil - Code: Veronica X is one of the best games ever, and you must play it to understand the whole series. Trust me, it'll be one of the greatest experiences ever in gaming universe.

The Best Resident Evil Game In The Series

I heard about this game not having updated graphics and I was a little dissapointed. I was still excited though because I had it for Dreamcast and it was excellent and well made. Well I bought it the other day and it still just as much fun to me. The graphics aren't dissapointing nor the frame rate it really keeps up all the time. The game is scary, fun the best setup and plot out of any Resident Evil game and has some of the best features.
The game takes place in a prison, palace, mansion, military base, courtyard, harbor a facility in Anartica and about 3 more diffrent places. I would give it a 9.3 the sound and graphics not updated is why I don't give it a 10 because this game would deserve it. I would reccomend buying this game first and not renting it because you will be happy with it.

Everything you feared...and more. Xtra

Two years ago I bought Resident Evil Code Veronica for the Sega Dreamcast. I wooped zombie butt with the SPAS 12 gauge and dual action MACHINE GUNS!!!!! Then I got a Game Cube for christmas So I got Resident Evil Zero. Well I got about half way through and thought I need more zombie action. So I went out and got Resident Evil Code Veronica X. Now my orginal was in bad shape so I haad to have it. Going back to the old "PLAYGROUND" with my little friend (machine gun) I plowed through the zombies. In one afternoon I was to Chris. Now I am about the same level in trems of were I am in the games I could be REZERO and RECVX in one day. Now I was thinking the graphics would be like RE-REmake. But they wern't. But that Xtra video footage make that up. Now you might hear that it's a waste of money from people. Well their wrong. If your one of those RE fans who want to see Wesker go fighting Chris and show Clarie the ture meaning of pain and just want to put the living dead back into the earth GET THIS GAME.

I hated it!!!!

This game sucked, bottom line. I bought it "used" from Gamestop and talked my way into returning it so that I can get something better for my hard earned money. The cut scenes are so cheesy (who's with me in saying that this Anime crap has gotten out of hand already?) and the controls are too annoying to get used to. Silent Hill games are so much better than Resident Evil games.

This is a great game

...But it's not worth $40 unless you have never owned a playstation 2 or dreamcast. If you have this game already and are thinking that it has been completely remade like the first game, that's simply not true. This game has no graphic touch ups and no extra videos (the review here that said there was extras, he was referring to the extras in CVX as opposed to the original CV on the dreamcast. This is the PS2 game ported to the game cube. I.E. The exact same game as the PS2 version.

Shame on Capcom for not remaking all of their resident evil games...they can't justify making this game $40 while you can get the remake for $20 right now. If you have a gamecube and have not played RE 0 or the Remake, you should get those before you even consider this one. Wait until it goes down to $20. And if you have a PS2-this is definitely worth a pick up at the $20 price. The storyline is excellent, the cut scenes are pretty good. Anime? I'm sorry but I don't know what that guy was talking about.

A wonderfully fun game

Capcom, they gave us the genre known as Survivor Horror. If you have played any of the previous RE titles(game cube), such as Remake, then your used to the entire ordeal of making antidote and what not. This game is awesome! But buy only if you have not played and beaten it on the other systems, cause it runs the exact same, even still, you should buy it for the ultimate Resident evil collection. It is a great series but no true plot twist, wait till the end of this year for part four that will be you best bet.

One of the Best Re games yet

Resident Evil Code Veronia X is one of the best RE games on the game cube to date (RE-4 is not out yet, and it is looking like it will overtake RE CVX). But not counting RE4, RE CVX could very likely be the best RE game yet. This game is so great, you start off as Claire on an island, the virus leaks after an old enemy launches an attack on the island. You then must get off the island which is easier said than done, however you meet a new friend along the way. You finally get off (if you're good that is) and then you go to a very cold base (take a guess where). After playing as Claire for a while longer, her brother Chris takes over, he arrives on the island and finds it is empty (well almost empty). He must then fight his way off the island and get to the base where Claire is. The games ending sequence is great, and it alone is worth the game price... Your Resident Evil collection will be incomplete unless you add Resident Evil Code Veronica X to it.
