    Capcom's Dreamcast Evil looks a lot smoother than the PSOne version does, and the character and creature models appear to be as gorgeous as the ones featured on the PC edition.

    Gameplay seems to be getting old as each Resident Evil incarnation is much more of the same. Loads of extra modes and a gallery provide excellent replayability.

    By delivering awesome graphics and intense, fright-filled gameplay, RE2 makes for a scary romp you won't want to miss.

    It's a great game to own, especially given its low retail price, but this version is not an essential purchase.

    Even with its flaws in gameplay mechanics and visual presentation, Capcom's port of Resident Evil 2 is a thing of beauty, preserving the euphoric atmosphere of a game that no other gaming company has been able to duplicate to date.

    Resident Evil 2 forces you into a state of emotional connection - I mean for God's sake, your characters limp and hold their ribs when they're hurt! Prick me, and do I not bleed? Kill me, do I not die?

    There's just not enough innovation to bring this stale serving of grey matter to the table for a second helping.

    Excellent game whose argued control issues are easily forgiven given horrific movie style presentation and very intense and addictive Excellent game whose argued control issues are easily forgiven given horrific movie style presentation and very intense and addictive gameplay. It begs for you to keep playing and find out what happens next like a bestselling mystery novel. The graphics are also smooth and are realistic enough to suck you in abd scare the living daylights out of you.… Expand
