Resident evil 1

Advantages: Story!
Disadvantages: same theme as many before it

...Introduction Resident evil is a Science fiction horror film which was made in 2002 and was based on video games Resident evil 1 and resident evil 2. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of computer games and I had never heard of the games until recently. And I did not see the film when it first came out...I was too young! (Bless) However, when the third one came out, I was old enough, so after seeing it at the cinema, being impressed and having someone explain the first two parts to me I rented the first two on DVD. Story The story is about a secret research company which is located about a mile underground and is owned by a firm called the ?Umbrella Corporation? the lab researches illegal things like genetics and viruses. The lab is given the name ?the Hive?. Due to the secretive nature of the research, everyone who lives in the lab...

Review of Resident Evil (DVD)

resident evil redifined!!1

Advantages: fun to play, challenging, great graphics and gameplay, improved voice acting
Disadvantages: there are none!

...Game title: Resident evil 4 Certificate: 15 Genre: survival horror/puzzle adventure Made by: Capcom Resident evil 4 the latest instalment of the series, Capcom have done it again and made another great sequel. So one day I was flicking through a new play magazine only to find an article on the up and coming resident evil 4, but what concerned me at the time was not "new resident evil game" but what was written under it "There are no zombies what so ever" Now being a hardcore resident evil fan myself, this was rather alarming to read, resident evil? "With no zombies?" I started to doubt myself, should I buy it? In the end I did buy it and jumped at the chance at owning a special collectors edition and to my surprise wow! The game and every aspect of it was brilliant, no faults what so ever. So here's the low down...

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

Advantages: Great arcade style game
Disadvantages: could have more levels

...Resident evil umbrella chronicles is an arcade style fps shooter, your characters have a set path that you cannot break and you shoot anything that moves or looks dodgey. You play through Resident evil 0, 1 and 3 they have the same storylines and characters as the original games. You get to play side missions as different characters such as albert wesker (im not all clued up on resident evil backstory but what i do know is this is a guy gone crazy for power) The graphics in the game are pretty good by the wii's standards but in the world that is HD dont be expecting it to compete against xbox 360 graphics for ps3 graphics. Regardless of this the visual screen is still good enough by my standards, The levels are dark to provide that even more creepy somethings gonna come round the corner and eat your face off feeling. The music...

Review of Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

Evil in Residence

Advantages: Twists at the start
Disadvantages: You've seen almost all of it before elsewhere

...either. The twist at the end of Resident Evil: Apocalypse doesn't seem to have been used much which may annoy or confuse some viewers who were expecting it to be developed on. There are a few nods back to it now and then and Alice seems to have developed telekinetic abilities as well from no-where (no idea if that was ever used in any of the games having only played 1 of them). There is a lovely old school nod in homage back to the Hitchcock classic "The Birds" at one point during the movie. One scene doesn't quite ring true, where their attacked by the zombies in the container in Las Vegas. Now this is a well co-ordinated group who have clearly survived and held their own for a good long time against the zombies but here they are panicking, firing randomly and firing on automatic when ammunition is clearly in short supply. They would have...

Review of Resident Evil - Extinction (DVD)

Resident Evil 5

Advantages: great graphics, lots of weapons, lots of different mutants to keep you interested
Disadvantages: can be too easy on some levels

...Most of us have heard of the Resident Evil franchise whether it be the movies comics or console games, Resident evil began back in 1996 with the Playstation it was a global success that eventually led to Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 has come a long way from the spooky old mansion with zombies and mutant dogs, it has now got bigger and better. You are Chris Redfield assigned to go to Africa and find a man about some pretty crazy bio chemicals that could alter the whole of human race. Some will be happy to know that you now have a partner (Sheva Alomar) it really helps a lot but for those who are looking for a challenge this could be the downside to the game, reason? because it makes it too dam easy. You will notice some new mutants and some old from Resident evil 4 this is the type of game to keep you on the edge of your seat if you...

Resident Evil 4 - But Prettier!

Advantages: Superb Graphics, new features
Disadvantages: Still feels like RE4

...Ever since the first game shocked us with brand new gameplay elements to the genre, we've always been expecting yet another leap! Resident Evil 4 did this, it was an amazing feat! Full 3D action, new camera viewpoints, much better voice acting (Seriously, the voice acting in the first few games was beyond dire!) and a whole new type of enemy! It was loved by the critics, fans and even pulled in previous skeptics of the series. So, when I heard Resident Evil 5 was coming out on next gen consoles, I was expecting something special, yet another huge leap in the right direction, maybe lots of new innovations, a whole new type of enemy, even better voice acting! Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Resident Evil 5. This sequel should simply be called 'Resident Evil 4 - But Prettier!'. The only actual huge improvement are the graphics...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (PS3)

Resident Evil: Bloodbath!

Advantages: Fantastic game, BREATHTAKING graphics, exciting and tense
Disadvantages: comes out for ps2 in october, will scare you like no game has done before!

...creepy and atmospheric as you progress deeper into the game. The breathtaking graphics and effects give the game a deeper sense of realism than ever seen before on any home console. Coupled with chilling sound effects and creepy background music, Resident Evil 4 will reduce you to a bundle of nerves in no time at all. This time you take a new viewpoint in the game. Many resident evil gamers will be used to the viewpoint being high up in the corner, now it is directly above Leon's shoulder, so it is very nearly a 1st person shooter, but this viewpoint is just as good, it makes the game more exciting and tense. Capcom has implemented an action button that can perform various manoeuvres. If you shoot someone in the face, you can easily follow it up with a nice roundhouse kick to the o? noggin. If you shoot enemies in their shins and make them...

Resident Evil Again

Advantages: Classic game
Disadvantages: No real changes made to the original

...of its character - one has rookie cop Leon Kennedy (who would later turn into Jack Bauer in Resident Evil 4) and the other lets you play as Claire Redfield (biker chick and sister to RE1's Chris Redfield, Claire will return in Code Veronica). You play through the game as your chosen character, and it plays differently depending on who you are - Leon has a love story subplot with the mysterious Ada and packs a heavy shotgun, while Claire finds a lost girl and a crossbow (these are just examples of the differences in plot and gameplay). The real beauty of the experience comes after you complete it for the first time. This unlocks a second scenario for the other character, which places them in a different area at the start and makes them fight through a drastically different game - it's the same locations, you just have to tackle them in...

Review of Resident Evil 2 (GameCube)

The Resident's Bite Back

Advantages: Looked fabulous in it's day, superb gameplay, good long-term appeal, very good soundtrack
Disadvantages: Backtracking can become a chore

...Not in their wildest dreams would Capcom have envisaged the success that their low-budget horror game Resident Evil would receive. Released in 1996, it was a hit to match the popularity of the mighty Street Fighter 2, and would spawn a number of spin off's and sequels in the coming years. The first sequel was always going to be the hardest though. By 1997, the developers were busy working on Resident Evil 2, with a hive of anticipation growing by the day as new screenshots were filtered to the press. But then the thing fans most feared happened - the project was scrapped. Back to the drawing board. Eventually, an all-new Resident Evil 2 would arrive around 2 years after the original and, in Japan, become the fastest selling game of all time. But in terms of quality, could it live up to the first game? Resident Evil 2 is a third...

Review of Resident Evil 2 (PlayStation)

Resident Evil Phwoar!

Advantages: Grpahics, Game play, Great Plot
Disadvantages: Not enough copies in the stores, Not for the faint hearted

...Resident Evil has been the most famous and most popular horror/adventure game for some time now. Hollywood realised the cult status and so far two Resident Evil films have been made. Capcom signed as exclusive deal with Nintendo a few years back and as a result released Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 for the Game Cube. It also released Resident Evil Zero (a prequel to the 1st game) and Code Veronica X (taking place after Nemesis). This deal meant that Capcom would only release Resident evil games on Game Cube, bad news for Playstation 2 owners, great news for Game Cube owners. So the full range of Resident Evil games on the Game Cube is: Resident Evil Zero Resident Evil Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Resident Evil: Code Veronica X However, on the 18th March 2005 Capcom launched the eagerly anticipated Resident Evil 4...
