    This was the first horror game, and the first Resident Evil game I had ever played. It was an eye opening experience to me at about 11 years old (I know, but I blagged my parents into thinking it was far less gory)
    Playing through this about 4 times on my Dreamcast was basically a religious experience for me. Possible some of the best times I had as a kid.

    The story of the game is incredible and exciting, the characters are very well developed, the villains are spectacular.
    With scary scenarios that combine perfectly with the survival horror genre, in addition to a perfect soundtrack, nostalgic, that fully matches every moment of the game, that speaks to you, makes you feel scared, desperate, thrilled, as if it were you within the game.

    Resident Evil Code Veronica, for me, is the best game in the series, which will be forever in the memory of fans, being a reference in history, setting and soundtrack.    … Expand

    Esto sí es un Resident Evil, no los bodrios que salieron a partir del 2009 en adelante

    Absolutely phenomenal, my favorite game of all time. I've played it countless times and to this day I still enjoy it as if it's my first time.

    Taking place right after RE2/RE3, Code Veronica combines 2 out of the 4 previous lead protagonist in Claire Redfield as she tracks down her brother Chris in the arctics. Dreamcast version was amazing.

    Unbelievable, one of the best games in history, without a doubt, the best for me after Resident Evil 4

    first of all, don't listen to kids here who cry about limited ammo and saves. this generation is spoiled by easy games and want unlimited lives and games that hold your hand without having to think. asking why there was a tank control also shows a lack of researching abilities and also intelligence. it would have been first person if the hardware had been able to at that point in time.first of all, don't listen to kids here who cry about limited ammo and saves. this generation is spoiled by easy games and want unlimited lives and games that hold your hand without having to think. asking why there was a tank control also shows a lack of researching abilities and also intelligence. it would have been first person if the hardware had been able to at that point in time.

    best RE there ever was but it aged a bit poorly. nonetheless it has the best story, puzzles and settings.
    amazing graphics, due to the dreamcast ofc.

    this is the best RE game and the peak of the dreamcast era. best story, super puzzles and the characters are well chosen. it would be a shame if Capcom wouldn't remake/reimagine that masterpiece

    Definitely my least favorite Resident Evil game (followed with Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 2 Remake). Very frustrating gameplay, total lack of ammunition, and a dull story overall that just didn't keep me engaged enough to suffer through the poor gameplay.

    Code Veronica was certainly one of the most Resident Evil games of all time.

    First of all, let's talk about the graphics. They were atrocious! I could hardly believe that this was a game for the Dreamcast, considering how outdated and pixelated everything looked. The character models were clunky and lacked any semblance of realism. It felt like I was controlling blocky mannequins rather than actual characters.

It felt like I was controlling blocky mannequins rather than actual characters.

    And the controls! Who on earth thought these controls were a good idea? They were beyond frustrating and completely unresponsive. Trying to aim at enemies was a nightmare, and I ended up wasting so much ammunition just trying to get a decent shot.

    The gameplay was just as bad as the graphics and controls. The puzzles were nonsensical and poorly designed, leaving me scratching my head more often than not. The difficulty curve was all over the place, with some sections being mind-numbingly easy and others seemingly impossible. It felt like the developers were just trying to pad the game's length without any thought for the player's enjoyment.

    Let's not forget the infuriating save system. Limited save ribbons? Seriously? Who has time for that in this day and age? I want to enjoy my gaming experience, not be constantly stressed out about when the next save point will come around. It felt like the game was punishing me for even attempting to progress.

    And the story? Laughable. The plot was convoluted and filled with more plot holes than a sieve. I struggled to connect with any of the characters, who were as one-dimensional as they come. The dialogue was cringe-worthy, and the voice acting was so bad it made me want to mute the game entirely    … Expand
