Review: Resident Evil 2
It may be over five years old, but Resident Evil 2 still shows why it became one of the best sequels.
Blame it on the zombies. While terrorizing poor Raccoon City, they managed to make survival/horror gameplay respectable and fun for the average Leon and Claire. Now GameCube players can experience the five-plus-year-old sequel to Capcom?s truly horrifying original Resident Evil?that is, if you?re not already tired of number zero and one. Sharp visuals that overshadow previous RE2 versions are certainly the highlight to this port, while the entire gameplay has remained intact. Even the simple controls and secrets like alternative outfits and the Tofu mini-game have been saved onto the single disc. Also preserved, however, are the cheesy voice-overs and minimal, B-grade horror music. Still, a nostalgic experience with the Resident Evil franchise should always include number two. And at a price cheaper than normal GameCube games, blasting away at zombies never felt better.
