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...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (PS3)

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 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...

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 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)

A fitting end to Resident Evil on the PlayStation

Advantages: Good graphics and gameplay, fun weapons, some interesting replay options
Disadvantages: A little samey at times

...The Resident Evil series and I have a long and largely happy history. Ever since the heady days of 1997, when I was a spotty, socially inept school kid, I've been battling my way through hordes of zombies, solving fiendish puzzles and listening to appalling voice acting. Now I'm a twenty-something university graduate - a little older, a little less spotty and perhaps a little more socially aware, but I still enjoy nothing better than blasting zombies apart with high powered shotguns. Before the Resident Evil series became an over-the-shoulder Gears of War wannabe, it relied on tension, atmosphere and subtle suggestion to provide the bulk of its scares. The original Resident Evil was a masterstroke of brooding menace, where a silent room was often more threatening than an entire alley full of zombies, and a single box of shotgun...

Review of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PlayStation)

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!

...bosses like a snake, a spider and a rather large man in a sinister mac, but Resident Evil 4 has the real boss battles, here you get to fight against many different types of bosses, here they are: > U3- This is a very disturbing-looking creature and is sort of like a mixture of a tyrant, a scorpion, a hunter, and a licker. They sometimes dig underground. > El Lago- El Lago is a giant, alligator-like creature that seeks havoc in the local lake. After steering the boat, you should see a huge creature immersing from the water, this is El Lago. > El Gigante version 1- You better hope you rescued the dog in the beginning of the game, as he will come in handy in this fight. El Gigante can either be very easy, or very hard. The El Gigante will be distracted by the dog you may have rescued from the beginning, this lets you get a few shots in...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (PS2)

Resident Evil 3, a great game

Advantages: great looks high quality
Disadvantages: none

...Yes this is another sequel to those Resident Evil games for the PS and PC. There's nothing worse than an infestation of flesh-eating zombies - a point that Jill Valentine, agent of S.T.A.R.S., is likely to agree with. But here she is again all the same, in the third instalment of the PlayStation favourite Resident Evil, armed and ready to make mincemeat of the legions of undead that come her way. Set immediately after the fateful events of the first Resident Evil game, Nemesis works on the same third-person action principal and doesn't have many new tricks up its sleeve, but this new angle gives the game a better look. Let's just say that if you liked the first one, then you'll probably get along just fine with this sequel. If you hated it or simply were too frightened however, then there's nothing in Resident Evil 3 worthy enough to...

Review of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PC)

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...

Review of Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

Resident Evil Nemesis, the trilogy is complete

Advantages: Graphics, sound and the gore is cool!!
Disadvantages: None, virtually perfect.

...Resident Evil III Nemesis, this is the last in the original trilogy of Resident Evil series. There's were other RE games made after this, but to fans of Resident, the trilogy is by far the most important. This was a good game, the graphics are excellent, it's loaded with more gore and action that the sequel and there is a correlation of sorts between the first two games. In Resident Evil I , Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and others find out about zombies created by a virus done by Umbrella. In Resident Evill II, we learn tht Chris has disappeared and that his sister Claire is looking for him. She meets Leon Kennedy another cop who helps find the notorious mansions and they learn all about Umbrella plans to unleash another virus. Well they partially stop Umbrella's plan but as evil never dies, you knew Umbrella would be back...
