69A true classical horror adventure that hasn't been optimised for Wii.
-
62We delve into the archives of Resident Evil once again and reach part Zero. Capcom has ported the Camecube straight into a Wii-version and offers those who have missed to play it. Know that it’s a very challenging survival horror game, one that can even make you sweat at the lowest difficulty. Aside from that, the gameplay is dated and you will be cursing and searching at first.

70In many ways, Resident Evil Zero provides a timely reminder of the things we miss about old style survival-horror. The heavy emphasis on puzzles, slower pace and the harrowing boss encounters make it feel more like a true horror adventure, and once you get to grips with its foibles it becomes strangely satisfying and rewarding.
-
Serving as a counterpoint to the recent productions of RE (4 and 5) no doubt that this classic has aged well, perhaps by integrating the duo came to the GameCube with a musical play absolutely above average.
-
75An intelligent porting, for an old-style survival horror. Forget the creepy third person shooter sections of the fifth chapter and meet (again) a more pleasant adventure game.

50Resident Evil Zero is a classic, but it hasn’t aged very well at all. So it’s a strange choice for Capcom to add nothing worth mentioning to this second release, not even motion control. If you already have this game, there’s no reason for you to buy it again, and if you haven’t played it yet, it’s hard to recommend.
-
A nostalgia trip for the retro zombie fans and some nice puzzles for the enthusiast. The dated controls and an annoying solution to carrying weapons makes Resident Evil 0 for Wii a bit obsolete, though.
-
Staggeringly lazy and a bit cynical. [Feb 2010, p.77]

45When you couple the awkward tank controls with horrible item management, poor pacing and a lack of scares, you'll come to see that Resident Evil Zero is better left on store shelves.
-
60Resident Evil Zero, a 2002 GameCube's game, arrives now in Wii. This title maintains the mechanics of the saga previous to Resident Evil 4. REZ is a classic survival horror game, with ammunition shortage and constant tension. It's an exact conversion, reason why it does not take advantage of the Wii's possibilities.
-
The least scary, least imaginative Resident Evil returns in a very slightly inferior Wii edition.
-
Resident Evil Zero was indeed a good game in 2002, but today it really suffers from its archaic design, frustrating gameplay elements and awkward control system. We doubt that newcomers will find this attractive, and there are no extra features for the fans of the original game.
-
It's a pity Capcom hasn't optimised this for Wii, but this is a great chance to get reacquainted. [Jan 2010, p.70]
-
60Resident Evil 0 has some big issues related to its old style gameplay, an awkward control system and no extras for this Wii version. It's still a good-looking game on the Wii, but after eight long years fan would’ve definitely deserved some more.
-
This game has aged splendidly and is worthy its price, although it is a shame Capcom has not included any new feature or improvement.
-
60Resident Evil Zero is a well designed survival horror game that offers more scares than Resident Evil 4 and 5 combined, but its dated gameplay will turn away many.
-
60Capcom has already released this game once with success, but this remake doesn't contain enough changes. Still the game has enough elements to keep you entertained for a few hours. So it's not a game of the highest quality, but it's worth the 30 euro.
