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!

...Finally, Resident Evil is back, and this time, it's here to be the best horror game there is on the playstation 2, and maybe all the other consoles as well! The Resident Evil series has being going on for years now, but there has always being something missing that has made the game incomplete, maybe it was the dodgy graphics, maybe it was the awful 10 minute opening door sequence. All of those things: GONE!!! The graphics are superb, (possibly the best in any game ever) and there are no 10-minute breaks while the door is opening. This may sound weird for fans of the Resident Evil series, but in this game, there are also no zombies and no t-virus, (more later)! <Story> In Resident Evil 4, you play as Leon S Kennedy, one of Racoon City's police officers, Resident Evil fans will remember him from Resident Evil 2. It has been six...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

resident evil redifined!!1

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

...and show how they intertwine. Graphics The graphics are brilliant in every way down to the fact of all the detail in the game. Just little things like intractable farm animals and scenery. Also the character animation is a lot more realistic, the way the characters move and talk are close to the real thing. On the whole the animation side of the game has used every inch of the ps2 power Extras There are a lot of extras to be had in resident evil 4. There are extra weapons and costumes to be had as well as professional mode, 2 extra games involving the sub character Ada Wong, a mercenary's mini game and also the movie viewer, witch allows you to view all the FMV sequences you see in the game. Also as an added touch the start screen changes from a picture of lean and the president's daughter; to a scrolling view of the village witch...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Survival horror at it's very best - the definitive Resident Evil

Advantages: Great graphics, great gameplay, intriguing story
Disadvantages: None, really

...Development of Resident Evil 2 began shortly after it became obvious that its predecessor was going to be a massive success. It was originally scheduled to be released in early 1997, but after reviewing an almost complete version of the game, Capcom decided they didn't like what they saw. Rather than rush out an inferior game like so many others would have done, they instead opted to scrap it, effectively starting again from scratch. Resi 2 subsequently blew through a series of deadlines before finally being released in April 1998. People were nervous, wondering if this game could possibly justify the endless delays. Well, they needn't have been. Resident Evil 2 rocked. It rocked back in 1998, and it still rocks today. Much like James Cameron's Aliens, Resident Evil 2 took the basic premise of its predecessor, kept the stuff that...

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...

Resident Evil 4

Advantages: Great graphics, Awesome story, Never gets old or boring
Disadvantages: None unless being addicted is bad for you personally

...Resident Evil 4 is the most playable game on the ps2 for me personally. It offers great visuals and awesome gameplay throughout. The whole ingame mechanics have been re-designed for a new and even more fun experience, quick gun play allows massive shoot ups with massive crowds of enemy's in large open spaces, making it one of the most successful games of its time. Story You play the role of Leon S Kennedy one of the few Survivors from the Racoon City outbreak a few years back, because of his skills and survival techniques shown in the Racoon City outbreak Leon was recruited as a secret agent who's job is to rescue the presidents daughter Ashley Graham who has been kidnapped by an unknown cult. His mission is to bring back Ashely by any means necessary. Leon travels to a Spanish-speaking village in Europe, where he encounters...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil 2

Advantages: Good game, good playability
Disadvantages: Graphics could have been better

...BACKGROUND Since I?ve never been much of a fan of Sony, the Resident Evil hoopla was always something I heard about, and never tried. When the one and only RE for the N64, RE2, was released, I decided to check it out. At first, I abandoned the game for 2 reasons; first, I couldn?t figure out what to do, and at the time I never liked to use guides for games...big mistake. And second was the controls and camera angles. Most can relate. The trademark controls and camera angles have always been frowned at. After boring myself to death with all my other N64 games, I decided to give it one last chance, this time with a guide. As I was finally able to progress, and get used to the quirky controls (easier than meets the thumb), I saw that the camera angles were making me feel strange. After a zombie kill, my pants always felt a bit heavier...

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 2, Blow off those heads.

Advantages: Has good Graphics, and gameplay is good. Scary on some parts!
Disadvantages: Can get really fustrating at times, but you get there in the end!

...are really simple, and you will get used to them easily. Now, once you complete Resident Evil 1, you surprisingly go onto Resident Evil 2, to find out what going to happen next! Well, just to let you know, in Resident Evil 2, it is Leon Kennedy, that is the new police officer on the job, the one you play with, and then there's the other character Claire Redfield, who is the one looking for her brother Chris Redfield(The 1 you meet in Resident Evil 1). These are the 2 characters you play with mainly are and the thing is, that they each have their separate discs. So there is one disc with just controlling Leon and the other with Claire (although you do control the other characters sometimes, in certain parts of the game...there is this other character you play with aswell, her name is Ada Wong....she looks quite fit ya know!). You have to...

Resident Evil Outbreak for ps2

Advantages: 8 playable characters,unlock secret characters and items and goods.
Disadvantages: 5 scenarios is all the levels,is a little short and should have twice as many levels in total

...I purchased this game on friday last week and have been playing it a few hours every night and has been enjoyable :) A great survival horror shoot them up game and since i have Resident Evil Zero,Remake,4,Code Veronica X this one Outbreak is a little different as you dont play the main characters of the Resident Evil series like Chris,Jill,Claire and Leon instead you play 8 new characters. Consists of Kevin a Racoon Police Department officer with a colt 1911 .45 apc pistol; Mark a security Officer and also starts off with a standard 9mm pistol; David a plumber that holds a tool kit consisting of items wrenches,duct tape and a folding knife;George a Racoon hosipital Doctor who carries a mixing kit that allows him to mix herbs and medicine together in creating pills and saves spaces in inventory; Cindy a waitress who works in J's Bar...

Review of Resident Evil: Outbreak (PS2)

Resident Evil Again

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

...When it arrived, Resident Evil grabbed us all by the throats like the ravenous zombies it depicted, and shoved a brand new genre down our mouths. Survival Horror - where the player stands alone against a horde of evil, and has nothing but his wits and a minimal supply of weaponry to keep himself alive. It was a smash hit, nothing short of unique brilliance, and although Capcom bled the franchise dry with a horde of sequels (some of them as dead as their monsters they contained), they dusted it off and turned it three-sixty with Resident Evil 4, which dumped the awkward controls and angles of the original engine, thrust the camera behind the protagonist and sprinkled a liberal adult theme on top. With this one standing on top as the game to play, why would one want to slip back into the past to play Resident Evil 2? Because it's one...
