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.

The gore is gorier, the booms are boomier, and the guns are gunnierRE:CVX takes an already near-flawless game and makes it even better.
Read Full Review >Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
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.
GameSpot
Clearly the best game yet produced for the survival-horror subgenre of adventure gaming, in spite of its flaws.

A necessary part of any adventure gamers balanced breakfast Masterful storytelling and superb graphics. [Sept 2001, p.144]

If you're a Resident Evil Veteran, this is the smartest and most polished of the series.

Zombie shooting at its best and lets not forget the "Devil May Cry" demo. If youre thinking about buying RE:CVX, you wont be disappointed. Youll be grateful for the dead.

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."

They have refined to near perfection what they started nearly five years ago, so take advantage.

Players who havent experienced Code: Veronica need to. Its to die for.

A zombie in pretty good shape; let's just say she hasn't lost too much of her flesh yet.

Little more than a slightly enhanced port of an already excellent game.

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.

solid game that will get it's deserved audience and hopefully become the blockbuster the Dreamcast kept it from being. Hunt on zombie killer!
Read Full Review >GameSpy
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.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Far from the best entry in the "Resident Evil" series but is an entertaining fright-night nonetheless.
Read Full Review >TotalGames.net
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.
Read Full Review >IGN
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.

The game's good, however, I can't get the devil may cry demo working. I bought it at software exc in the used department. Four things could be wrong with it. 1. It's fragmented 2. It's infected 3. It's not going to work with version 1.10 4. There's an unknown problem, with it. Other than that, it's Great!

Simply the best RE game for PS2!! A Classic!!
PIRANHA G. gave it a 10:
A very good game. Resident Evil has always gave us good games, this one is no exception. It´s very long, it has a nice story line, and it has ZOMBIES (stupids but it´s ok...) absolutely great.
Andrew J. gave it an 8:
THis game is great, although the PS2 version doesn't seem to offer more than some of the PS1 versions.
A fan of the Resident Evil games gave it a 9:
This game is definately one of the best in the Resident Evil franchise. Great thrills, great cutscenes, lots of action, it is much better than any other game released in the Resident Evil series. Unfortunately, it has some problems. The difficulty is one of them. This game is extremely difficult, with health items scarce, ink ribbons, and handgun bullets also scarce. Not only that, but there is a lot of backtracking involved. Those problems aside, this game is definitely awesome.
Brandon S. gave it a 10:
I give 10 because resident evil are my favorite games and I really like horror stuff.
Bryan K. gave it a 10:
This is so cool, it's the best game ever I could play it for hours.
