Amazon.com Product Description
Resident Evil, the game that is often credited with starting the survival-horror genre, is being reinvented for the GameCube. For those unfamiliar with the series, a mysterious corporation has secretly been performing ungodly biotech experiments in the sleepy little town of Raccoon City. When reports of gory attacks come in from nearby areas, two crack military squads are sent to investigate. Players take the role of either sharpshooter Chris Redfield or demolitions expert Jill Valentine to track down the source of the town's problems--specifically, something in a decaying mansion that's mutating animals into grotesque killers and turning humans into bloodthirsty zombies. Supplies and ammunition are scarce, so players have to know when to fight, when to run, and how to keep their wits about them. Players can't afford to waste their shots and expect their characters to survive. The story is being retrofitted with motion-captured animation, next-generation graphics, real-time lighting and shadow effects, new areas, and newly rendered in-game video segments to create an even more cinematic experience. Also, a redesigned combat system lets players attack and defend themselves with a variety of items found in the environment.

 Creepy, but slow: caution if RE4 (Wii) was your first RE experience July 22, 2008
RE4 was one of the first games I played for Wii. It was also the first Resident Evil game I had played (I do not own a gamecube).
RE4 is extremely different from RE for gamecube.
RE4:
- better graphics
- more "shoot 'em up" style: tons of ammo, more killing, less walking around lost
- save whenever there's a typewriter
- you do not need a walkthrough, ever, if you are willing to spend 5 minutes to figure something out
- you can hold lots of weapons, herbs (health), and ammo.
- There is currency. You can upgrade and buy weapons from a merchant.
- fun (especially Wii version)
RE1:
- good graphics for its time; bad for the modern game
- you have to collect "ink ribbons" if you want to save. While generally there is a sufficient amount, it takes up space (see following bullet)
- conserve your ammo! walkthroughs suggest that you run past most zombies to conserve ammo. Also, you only have 6 spots, 8 with the girl to hold stuff. 6 spots is not enough. Sure, it makes it challenging, but soon it's annoying. 1 spot for handgun, 1 spot for handgun ammo, 1 spot for special item, 1 spot for herb, 1 spot for other gun, etc. it gets crowded, quickly.
- Creepy. All the walking around in the dark mansion makes it creepy, yes. And if you favor those kind of games instead of your standard HL shooter game, then by all means get it.

Oh it may be a remake from PSX's Resident Evil but this one is absolutely incredible! You are able to play as rough Chris Redfield and smart Jill Valentine. The graphics are beautiful and really well detailed so it lokks like you took it out from a movie. The sound is amazing and you could hear every slash of your knife and every sound of you footstep. Its super scary andwith hard puzzles and zombies and monsters with a high AI. This is a game you MUST buy!!!!
Not the same old game. March 31, 2002

You might be tempted to think Resident Evil for GameCube is the same game you played years ago on PlayStation, but with improved graphics. You'd only be half right.If you never played the original Resident Evil, here's the premise: you are investigating strange goings-on and reports of strange creatures in a huge mansion. You choose one of two characters--one male and one female--to explore, while zombies and terrifying creatures spring out at you from nowhere and attempt to devour you. You must use your weapons and wits to survive. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and the blood and gore is intense. This new version does feature the same two characters and the same mansion, but Capcom has changed many aspects. They've expanded some of the original areas and added new ones. Places that once yielded zombified dogs or killer bees are now safe, while the creatures now attack you from different areas--so even if you played the original, the scare factor is brand new. And to say the graphics are improved is a huge understatement: they are incredible. Easily the best-looking GameCube title to date. You also don't have to worry that this version for a Nintendo system is cleaned up...all the gore and guts are intact, but far more realistic than before. Resident Evil for GameCube looks like a great game, and should be worth a look whether you're a RE veteran or a Nightmare Newbie.

i played the original Resident Evil for Playstation and it was great. I loved the horror. i think you should get this game because it's going to be a huge improvement from the first one. there are extra rooms, extra zombies, etc. the graphics are great. you will jump a couple times in this one. oh, and, i suggest playing this at night with a friend beside you. that's the best way to play horror games.
