    This is, for all intents and purposes the same game that was released for the DC over a year ago. It was great then, it's still great now.
  2. Adds nothing to the well-worn formula but wraps everything up in a glossy package which makes the previous outings look like primary school projects. This is classic Resi at it's finest.
  3. The gore is gorier, the booms are boomier, and the guns are gunnier—RE:CVX takes an already near-flawless game and makes it even better.
  4. Fantastic , it will keep you playing for hours on end, and if you manage to complete the game you’ll get a great feeling of happiness.
  5. Clearly the best game yet produced for the survival-horror subgenre of adventure gaming, in spite of its flaws.
  6. If you're a Resident Evil Veteran, this is the smartest and most polished of the series.
  7. A necessary part of any adventure gamer’s balanced breakfast…Masterful storytelling and superb graphics. [Sept 2001, p.144]
  8. Zombie shooting at it’s best – and lets not forget the "Devil May Cry" demo. If you’re thinking about buying RE:CVX, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll be grateful for the dead.
  9. A must-have installment in the RE series - perhaps now more than ever. The game's important story is now critical to the evolving RE plot thanks to "Resident Evil 4."
  10. They have refined to near perfection what they started nearly five years ago, so take advantage.
  11. Little more than a slightly enhanced port of an already excellent game.
  12. A zombie in pretty good shape; let's just say she hasn't lost too much of her flesh yet.
  13. Players who haven’t experienced Code: Veronica need to. It’s to die for.
  14. And after spending a week playing "Resident Evil Code: Veronica X" in a darkened room, there's no doubt that the PS2 version is as creepy as video games come.
  15. solid game that will get it's deserved audience and hopefully become the blockbuster the Dreamcast kept it from being. Hunt on zombie killer!

    It is another fantastic foray into survival horror by Capcom, who have successfully taken the genre started by "Alone in the Dark" and turned it into four of the most thrilling and fun-filled gaming experiences around.
  17. 80
    Far from the best entry in the "Resident Evil" series but is an entertaining fright-night nonetheless.
  18. 80
    It's the longest Resi game yet, with loads of zombie killing action.
  19. A number of excellent set-pieces, good puzzles and some surprise changes in pace do keep the attention until the bitter, dramatic end but generally this is B-list stuff when compared to proper PS2 horror adventures.
  20. The undead hordes are as great as they've always been to kill.
  21. 65
    After having played so many Resident Evil games, I want more from it. I want better controls, less ludicrous key-searching missions, and more forgiving camera angles, for starters.

  2. My second favorite Resident evil game. This game blew my mind.
  3. I hope the people who rated this game bad get ripped up for their crimes. I had a dreamcast and it was best. Then PS2 came along and made better game version, Resident Evil Code Veronica game fun. I saw it avaialbe in a shop for small pennies the other day and i weeped a weary tear. I played this game for at least 10 days straight. No...seriously. I had fun with it and then played it more because the music is Choooooons. Like Andreas said It IS a great game. I played as Claire Redfield or whoever and I got right into. Right stuck in. There were zombies left right and center, all around like standing targets i pulled out my pumper and filled em with digital lead. I shot SOOOO many zombies. More than anyone else. Dont even bother trying to compete. I had the VMU on Dreamcast and the 8MB Memory Cardlet for PS2 and it worked. Like John Lennin said 'Imagine all the people' and Resident Evil Code: VX is a good game. Full Review »
