    Resident Evil 2 was a groundbreaking title - five years ago... here we have another no-frills Capcom port for $39.99 - unacceptable.

    The perfect game, besides graphics, it holds up to this day flawlessly, fixed camera and tank controls are actually great, they complement each other perfectly and it is very fast to get used to them.
    This is a Must Play, no matter the platform you are playing it.

  1. You'll find yourself cursing the lack of inventory spaces, and the inability to drop objects (which was only introduced in Resident Evil Zero), and all told the trip down memory lane merely serves to illustrate how far games have come generally, and how forgiving we must have been back then to put up with such wholly irritating fundamentals.

    Sound, suspense, storyline, and action make RE 2 a classic on any platform. [Apr 2003, p.89]
  3. As far as extra features being a reason to own it on the Gamecube though, there isn't much incentive other than having the full series on the GCN.
