    Resident Evil is a remake of the title that solely gave the survival horror genre the popularity it deserves in the video game industry. Everything a person would want in a remake is present. Updated graphics that match the quality of the current generation of consoles, better sound effects that give the games environment the perfect atmosphere and more area to explore that helps pacing and story progression. Really, a masterpiece and a title any fan of the genre shouldn't go with out playing.… Expand

    Its a classic. reborn and reborn again. Still pleases the eyes after all these years. Absolutly worth a buy if you havent played the gamecube version ."there virtually the same games but with wiimote controls" It would get a 10 but the controls do have a learning curve as did the previous games. 30 minutes and you will be able to control no problem. But their will always be that occational wall bump. BUY IT!… Expand

    The graphics are outdated, the controls are clunky, the camera is annoying at times, but is it still one of the greatest survivor horror games of all time?! You betcha. Loved every minute of it and this classic will outlast all those Halos, Gears of War and GTAs for years to come.

    Having multiple control options, not having to change out tiny discs midway through the game, and having better audio are definitely pluses, but I don’t think they are big enough improvements to merit picking up this title if you already own the GameCube version.

    There's no doubting the quality of the game but veterans really won't be getting anything new here, so we can only recommend this to players who have yet to see where it all started. And even they might find the controls long past their sell by date.

    Boasting an intense atmosphere, satisfying puzzles and nail-biting combat, it's a game that will linger long in the memory for those who succumb to its dark allure. If you missed out on this the first or even second time around, then now's the time to pick up a true classic - at the right price.
