 RE 1 ,do I need to say more?;) October 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Resident evil 1 remake..With GOOD graphics.And OTHER voice actors.So, of course I got it and was expecting nothing but a port to the Gamecube and I was planning to beat in 2-3 hours, since Im an old RE fan;)I was totally surprised, because they changed quite a lot of things,locations,added new objects/rooms/monsters.The zombies still can resurrect after you kill them and become awfully fast and agressive (if you dont burn the bodies after you shoot them).The creepy music, darkened rooms and an isolated loneliness feeling in a scary mansion.What else should horror fans wish?All I can say about this game- totally the best horror athmosphere from all RE games!I wonder if it will be my #1 RE now;)

Resident Evil REmake Review September 28, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Once again zombies have taken over. But they're not always the slow actioned zombies we've always known among horror franchises. The surprises will kill you. Four survivors alone in a dark demented mansion deep within the bowels of Raccoon City, trapped from the living while survival their only hope. Zombies and a plethora of abominations no human can explain or fathom is unleashed within an unforgiving world of survival horror. What awaits them deeper within the mansion gets even more disturbing...
I've had the honor to play this game before and as usual it left me wanting more. The atmosphere is beautiful in the twisted way Resident Evil titles have always been with extras that the original did not have.
The puzzles have been changed which gives veteran Resident Evil player's something new but also familiarity. The design and graphics are top notch and the suspense of the story is intriguing which leaves you wanting more. Especially unto who Lisa Trevor is...and she wants her mama.
Overall this game is a 5 out of 5 for sound, game play, graphics, and story.

I've wanted this game for a while now, and now that I finally have it, it's completely amazing. I've beaten the game with Jill and am almost done with Chris, so I guess that gives me enough playtime to accurately review this game.
Graphics: They get a perfect 10. They are visually stunning and the best on any system I've seen. I think they even match up to the PS3. The prerendered environments work beautifully, the character models look very realistic and the fmvs are the best you will see in any game. The opening scene is breathetaking. My favorite part is when Jill tries to fire her gun but to no avail as she is out of ammo. The look of terror on her face is so realistic I can empathize.
Control: I know many of you are going to think I'm crazy for saying this, but I rate the controls a 10 out of 10. There is no problem with them whatsoever. All you have to realize when playing is that the controls are sensitive to the character, not the camera and you're set. So, if from the characters point of view the direction you want to go is right, but from the camera it's up, just press right. It's easier than it sounds. Some might critisize this, but it's the only control scheme that would work with pre-rendered camera's. Since the camera's change constantly, if the controls were relative to the camera, you'd be changing the direction you press constantly, but since the camera has no bearing on the controls, it makes it a lot easier to keep your train of thought when moving. Also, people say that "you can't turn and move at the same time...unless you switch it to 'control type c'". I don't understand that at all. I turn and move at the same time all the time, using the default control set up. If you can't do it, you're doing something really wrong.
The inventory: I rate this a 9 out of 10. Although it is a bit frustrating to only hold 6 or 8 items (depending on who you're playing as) at a time, this is a very, very realistic set up. In other games, for example the legend of zelda series (which I love by the way, so i'm not bashing it) how is it that Link can hold a sword, shield, bow and arrow, quiver, megaton hammer, 3 tunics, 3 pairs of boots, an ocarina and whatever else he finds? Just no way. Resident Evil makes this a lot more realistic. 6 to 8 items is a resonable amount of stuff a person can carry in real life, so this mimicks that.
The Item box: i give it an 8.5 out of 10. Although it is a bit annoying to go back to a chest often, it is far better than the item dropping system of Resident evil 0. Dropping items wherever leads to a lot more backtracking than the item boxes. Item boxes keep everything neat and in place, and since there's always at least one in every area, and they're all connected, you're stuff is basically brought to you which is really nice. So whenever you get to a new area, you're shotgun that you left a long ways away will be waiting for you. This couldn't happen in RE 0.
The voice acting/sound. 9 out of 10. The voice acting is rather good. A lot of people compare it to eternal darkness (another game I really enjoy) and say it's not as good. That may be the case, but eternal darkness was in a league of its own, most video games fall flat compare to it. I mean, the legend of zelda doesn't even have voice acting! Resident evil does a really good job, especially when compared to the original.
The sound effects also are really well done. The sound of Lisa screaming is spine chilling. and the creepy music in the background gets your heart pumping. Actually, it's when there's no music at all and all you hear is a clock ticking or water dripping that gets you in the mood. The howling of a wolf, or the wind sweeping against the grass. It's all really good.
Puzzle difficulty:, 9 out of 10. It is games like resident evil that prove to the anti-gamer that games aren't just about mindless shooting. I actually think I got a bit smarter playing. Although a lot of puzzles are just find this item, swap it out for another, tada! or find this key, find where it goes, there are plenty that will keep your mind sharp. For those that just like mindless fun, this game is definitely not for you.
Enemies: an 8 out of 10. A lot of people complain that zombies are too slow and not smart enough, but since the majority of the game takes place in cramped corridors and rooms, that doesn't matter. I mean, if the game took place in a big open field, I would agree but zombies work perfectly well with the environment of this game. Besides, Hunters, Crimson heads and cerberus (not to mention Chimeras, although they don't show up a lot) are incredibly agile and make up for the slow moving zombies. They'll keep you busy. Although it would be nice to aim better, the combat system is good. A lot of people complain you can't run and shoot at the same time, well...who runs around while shooting a shotgun? And a lot of other games with guns I can think of you can't move and shoot anyway. and some criticize that you can only aim straight, up or down, but...it fits the mood nicely. I don't complain.
Camera: 10 out of 10. No question. I love the weird, ominous angles. My favorite is the room righ next to the save room in the east wing of the mansion, when you go up the stairs and you're on that hall way overlooking the lower part of the room, the camera pans away and it looks like you're side scrolling. It's absolutely beautiful. Some complain that this makes it so you can't look around the corner easily and sometimes wind up with enemies you can't see, but i have several answers for that. First, not being able to see what's around the corner increases fear, what this game is about. Second, if the game was a first person adventure, you wouldn't be able to see around the corner either. for the "invisible enemies", I admit, that might get a bit annoying. But it's a minority case at best. And usually the autolock on will target them for you. It's ok really.
fear factor: 8 out of 10. although I don't really get scared playing this game, it builds up a lot of tension and inticipation, which can be just as bad. although a lot of the scare effects are of the jump through a window "boo" nature, there are some downright creepy moments. The run down kitchen room in the basement with the rotting meat all over freaks me out all the time. Even if I've killed all the zombies in there. and on the way to the room with the plant you kill with the chemical, seeing that sillouet of a zombie scratching at the window was spine chilling. And an other time, I couldn't see down a hall way since it was pitch black, but then lightning flashes and I see the outline of a zombie waiting for me. These are all freaky moments and there are lots, lots more.
all in all, this is a great game and most complaints i've heard are basically people not putting in the effort to make it work. anyone who finished reading this entire, overly long review, thank you.
Big fan June 16, 2007
I'm huge fan of resident evil series, I do own all of then for PS/PS2, but there are some versions on game cube not found for playstation, this remake of the first is one of then. I don't have a game cube and just ordered Wii, so I'll finally be able to play Remake of the first and RE zero, and from what I heard RE 2, 3 , VC-X & 4 are basically the same as PS/PS2 versions witch I have. So I'm very excited in playing this game and by the reviews it's awesome. I watched a clip at gamespot.com and I wished they had the same voices as the original, But besides that, the game looks great.
