    The game's important story is now critical to the evolving RE plot thanks to "Resident Evil 4." So, if you want to knowingly absorb all that RE4's story presents, you should definitely take a creepy walk down memory lane.

    It's the same thing that has been on a couple of different consoles. If you only played the original Code: Veronica, the only thing that X offers you is some new storyline elements and a few extra cut-scenes. However, if you've never played this game before, you should really give it a shot.

    Sadly, the decreased scare factor makes the game's backtracking much more of a chore, as you endlessly trawl back and forth to find items that open doors to other items.

    At the dawn of 2004 not enough time has passed for this to be a retro title and now it just feels out of date. I also suppose that if it were budget priced at $19.99 and a player who was curious about the Resident Evil franchise wanted to pick it up, I'd recommend it. But at $39.99... I can't do that.

    Awesome. Despite the fact that this game is 5 years old, i only just got my hands on it for the gamecube as i am collecting the entire series for gamecube as i am a die hard fan. I played Resident Evil 4 which was amazing and even though this game is old like i said, it is nevertheless still an amazing game. The graphics are still very good even if they may look noticeable outdated compared to the newer gamecube releases but graphics arent always what makes a game fun to play in the first place, and in this case its spot on. You still see some very nice looking environments and the cinematic movies are still excellent. The gameplay is still intact and as long as that same gameplay is there any true resident evil fan will never get tired of the playing it...a true fan like myself anyway. I can continue playing resident evil titles and never get bored of the gameplay. Shooting zombies and other creatures honestly never gets boring for me. The controls for code veronica are the same as the rest of the titles (excluding re4 of course) and i've never had a complaint about the controls. Theyre something you get used to and once you are used to them, theyll feel as normal as ever. To sum it all up, code veronica is an essential edition to your resident evil collection. Although it was made originally as a side quest kind of game to the main storyline, it is infact very related to the main games and will surely please any resident evil fan. Awesome… Expand

    Let me begin. I am a diehard Resident Evil fanatic. I love this series to death. This is the worst installment in the series and the only one I hate. I hated the original Code veronica, so this one is no different. Zombies take, what? 9 shots to kill? Healing items are very scarce The shotgun doesn't 1 hit, unless you shoot the head. The heads dont blow off! Back tracking x10000! Seekers. So frustrating! The good: Steve is hella funny Tons of varied weapons I only played it to get more of the Resident Evil plotline. Play it if you want, or else just read the Resident evil History.… Expand
