 The Angry Resident Evil Nerd, is pleased!? December 30, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow, first off I have to say 'pure classic'. I love this game, in all of its dated graphics and game play with additional cheesy (Jill Sandwich) dialoge glory. That is what this baby is, glory. A truly excellent game, with excellent graphics, for its time and it's, for this nerd at least one of the fondest memories of my wasted childhood I have. In fact this is one of the things I spend countless hours mastering that I don't regret one bit.
The control is simple and responsive, which I like. This game to me was my first introduction to actual video games, sure I'd play Mario or Primal Rage or what ever on the old SNES. Then one fatefull day young Kazuki Ferret was (at age 8) introduced to Resident Evil. The game for him, challenging puzzles which tested intellect, well designed levels and characters, and o' course guns.
Looking back now, this game was an excellent first for the giant we know today as the Resident Evil series. With such classic games as RE2, RE3, Code: Veronica, and RE4 stemming from it. This game is a simple must own in your video game collection, if you see a copy and don't own one; buy it is what I say. I got the copy I have for $5.00, which is an excellent price for such a classic game. There is no reason not to own this game.

Video game gold for zombie fans... May 24, 2007
Even with the advent of the PS2/3, the original "Resident Evil" still holds its water against the modern era of video games. It set the standard for "survival horror" in video games. It frightens and delights. The controls take a little to get down, and the intensity and urgency of the game demand that you get those under control or be eaten.
The game takes time and is recommended for those that can devote 30min-1hour a day to the game.
A must for any game who claims to be a fan of the zombie genre.
Always a classic March 6, 2007
I love everything about this game (well, except going for the infinate launcher with no saves, getting almost to the end and getting my head lopped off by a hunter) but other than that it's pure gold. The cheesy voice acting really adds to the gameplay because it's really good for a few laughs, (acting classes? bah. who needs 'em?) but it doesn't throw off the whole mood of the setting. There's a couple of nifty secrets and a ton of replay value (which isn't very common in many games these days sadly.) and at this price it's really hard to pass up such a great classic.

For all of you complainers... August 15, 2006
One of my top 5 fave games (I include both the DC version and the GC version as the same), with so many awesome characters and monsters, and the coolest house in gaming history.
If you want this game, and only want to use the analog sticks, then pick up the Greatest Hits edition, the cover should have the first zombie that you meet in the game on it, and with a blood puddle that says "Now compatable with the DUALSHOCK controller".
Also, I recomend the novelization, RE: The Umbrella Conspiracy, as I almost enjoyed it as much as the game!
Hope that helps!
 The Truth about Resident Evil... April 24, 2006

Today I posted a review for Silent Hill for the Sony Playstation in the interest of fairness I figured I'd post a review about Resident Evil. Like Silent Hill I played and beat the game within a week of it's initial launch. I didn't have alot of gripes about the game being as I was blown away by the very idea of a survival horror game. Let alone playing such a game for the first time in my long gaming history.
The music and graphics for this game are by no means good to todays standards. Back in the day as with Silent Hill they were top notch or very near it. As far as puzzles go, Resident Evil had both passable and challenging puzzles... nothing that took away from your gameplay or experience which was a nice touch.
As far as gameplay this Resident Evil game, Director's Cut, was my favorite up until Resident Evil 2 and more recent Resident Evil 4. As I said with Silent Hill neither game is better than the other but I would strongly recommend skipping this game for this system and get the Resident Evil Remake for Gamecube.
The remake enhanced not just the graphics but the over all story and appeal of Resident Evil, the original classic survival horror game. In closing I have to say that I graded this a 3 as I did with Silent Hill, they are two different kinds of scares and two different worlds but the graphics and dated sound leave me empty. All-in-all a must buy for any Resident Evil fanboy or person looking for a quick cheap thrill.
