 Essentials?! Are you kidding me?! May 13, 2008
4 out of 12 found this review helpful
You know when I witnessed the local kids playing Resident Evil Code Veronica X you have no idea the level of dread I felt for the future of the series. These were kids who started playing the series once Code Veronica was ported form the DreamCast to the PS2 and instantly shunned the original Resident Evil games on the PlayStation (one of these kids, the leader of the idiot team of course was only one year younger than me).
Unfortunately, my dread became vivid and has stayed vivid onward. Resident Evil is never going to be the unique little adventurous, ultra gory, atmospheric little Alone in the Dark rip-off I remember it as because when a company considers three of the most broken, overly action packed, laughable additions to the series as 'essential,' then something is very wrong. The atmosphere that the Resident Evil that was introduced in 1996 (thirteen years ago) is NEVER coming back and it's all thanks to its so-called sequels that were almost entirely dedicated to nothing but action.
Seriously, look at what they have: Resident Evil Code Veronica X, the port of the all ready overly action packed jerk-fest with a John Woo gunslinging Leonardo Dicaprio dork and a one dimensional antagonist with the addition of a character who magically survived the previous games by a continuity error that was later explained in Umbrella Chronicles in that classic five year old "because I said so" excuse solely so said character could be the equivalent of The Terminator meets The Matrix.
Then there's Resident Evil Outbreak, the first online survival horror game ever made and quite possibly the worst (second only to Outbreak file #2) with more of those random cameo characters the developers loved so much they had to include them in the game by snapping the continuity in pieces. Add to the broken single-player game play with some of the most obnoxious enemy AND friendly AI ever made and some of the most atrocious enemy designs made and you've got pain elemental in one game.
Then you've got EVERYONE's favorite blend of Hollywood action slop and campiness, 4resident evil (hey, that's literally how it's spelled), a game where the only fear you'll get is laughing yourself to death he moment you see the so called 'terrorists' you're fighting. I just need to ask: What are game developer's obsession with playing the role of alpha male in games? Does a game become an instant classic when you have a to baby sit a foxy young woman in loose clothes who can't defend herself, whose first lines are literally "Don't come?" I'm serious, that's the first line she has! You know what happened to games where you have to rescue a woman who screams those words at you??
The latter game proves one thing about our generation of horror gaming: If I ever need money and I know how to develop a game, I'll just rip off Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, throw in some heads popping every time the character so much as breathes on them coupled with rag doll physics, have some pervert in an overcoat sell you nasty things you can fit on to your gun in exchange for illogical fetch-quests and mini-games, throw in maybe one or two monsters and have you defend a hot, foxy woman in an iron lung and call it a horror game. I'd make MILLIONS!!
 Just Buy Resident Evil 4 May 3, 2008

I purchased this set new. I must be honest, it is my first time playing the resident evil games. Well, I started out with Code Veronica X which I found it extremely challenging to become accustomed to the 3-D control setup and imagine those of you who, like me, are unfamiliar with the R.E. games will feel the same way. So, Code Veronica X was descent, hard, but fairly entertaining. Resident Evil 4 was absolutely amazing. The new first-person gaming experience for R.E. came out brilliant! The story is tolerable (nothing amazing), but the weapons, graphics and game play are supberb! This is easily one of my personal favorite games. To better help you understand the perspective of the game, it is much like the gaming experience of Metal Gear Solid. And, finally, R.E. Outbreak was much like Code Veronica X with the 3-D gaming experience I once again struggled to become accustomed to at first, and even still grew tired of trying to manipulate after several minutes (hours) of play. So, overall, I would personally just recommend for anyone who is considering this package to just simply put your money into Resident Evil 4 by itself, and save yourself a few bucks.
 Fun and suspense!!! March 30, 2008

I like Resident Evil 4, which to me is outstanding because I like the way the enemies are given intelligence. Have not had a chance to play the other two in this series.
why didn't they do it this way? March 12, 2008

the resident evil series is my favorite title of all time, so as a person that owns all the game, except for the gamecube ones. whats the point in getting this? great for newcomers i guess, but these games have been out for a long time. why didn't they put "RE zero" and "the remake version on the original" on the PS2? that would make much more sense sense, especially for people like me who haven't played those. I assume sales would be much higher too and RE lovers would be much happier.
