    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. Games Radar

    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.

    Players who haven’t experienced Code: Veronica need to. It’s to die for.

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

    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.

    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.

    I loved this game, thought it was the best of all RE's. It was hard going with insane puzzles, you wanted to pull your hair out sometimesI loved this game, thought it was the best of all RE's. It was hard going with insane puzzles, you wanted to pull your hair out sometimes but for me very addictive. If your looking for a fast paced, smooth shoot em up game then you should avoid this, its more puzzles, memory, ammo and health conservation and backtracking. Great graphics and a very long difficult game with plenty of sub plots. Bad comments are clearly from people that cant get out of the first room or dont have the patience for a game that actually requires you to use some brain cells!… Expand

    A pesar de ser canónico y de tener hechos muy importantes en la historia de Resident Evil, es uno de los juegos de la saga más infravaloradosA pesar de ser canónico y de tener hechos muy importantes en la historia de Resident Evil, es uno de los juegos de la saga más infravalorados solo por el hecho de no tener un número en el título. Sin embargo, se trata de un juego de muy alta calidad que está a la altura de los Resident Evil clásicos. Cámaras fijas, terror (aunque menos que los clásicos), pocos recursos, puzzles, backtracking, variedad de enemigos, es decir, un survival horror con todos los ingredientes esenciales. La duración de la campaña (12-15 horas) es perfecta y el hecho de hacer una mitad del juego con Claire y la otra mitad con Chris le da mucha variedad de situaciones jugables. Muy recomendado.… Expand

    The story is interesting with a dark and creepy atmosphere in most of the times.
    Clair's as always an interesting character together with Alfred and Alexia, however Chris is as usual a big disappointment.
    The other flaw on this game is the graphics level, even when this was the first game on this franchise to be able to move 360 it is not at the level of the PS2 capacity.
    This is a game you must play if you are either a RE or survival horror fan.    … Expand

Peut-être que le jeu consiste à trouver les X manquants ? ah non faut taper sur des cons de zombies. Pas évident avec une interface aussi lamentable et une jouabilité aussi nulle à chier.

    Je suis sincèrement béat d'admiration devant les individus qui ont -auraient- réussi à jouer plus de 15 mn à ce truc. Quelle abnégation, quel dévouement. Personnellement, je croyais avoir mis un jeu dans la PS2 mais non. Code résident machin est l'exemple stupéfiant de tout ce qu'l ne faut pas faire dans un jeu vidéo. Personnellement, je n'ai pas de temps à perdre sur une telle nullité.    … Expand
