    I am a huge Resident Evil fan. I've been playing the game since it first came out on the Playstation back in 1996.

I've been playing the game since it first came out on the Playstation back in 1996. When I heard that they were remaking the first game, I first thought that it would be horrible. Remakes usually are. However when I played this game, I got an enormous rush of fun and fear that I had not felt since the first time I played the original. This game is pretty much flawless. The story is still great, and the little expansions to the story they added between this and the original were great as well. The graphics blew me away, considering it is coming from the Gamecube. The sound is great and the music is perfect. Everything comes together smoothly and creates one of the scariest and best games I've ever played. The only flaw I saw was the controls. The controls do retain the stationary camera scheme and the controls do take getting used too. As a Resident Evil fan though, the controls didn't bother me, and instead gave me a feeling of deja vu from my days on the original game. I do sympathize though with people who do criticize the controls, because I too think it is time to move on to a better control scheme with moving and shooting. I rarely give a 10 in my reviews, but I will not hesitate with this game. This game definitely deserves a 10 and Capcom has proven that remakes are not always a bad idea.… Expand

    The overall ambiance of this game is astounding! Though the camera angles can get annoying sometimes, this game is definitely one of the best survival-horror titles I have EVER played. The plot, music and visual effects are some of the best I've ever seen on the GameCube.

    Reviewers should play games more before reviewing. I've played games for 20 yrs & a lot of "professional reviewers" either have no skills or give me the impression that they don't even like video games.

    When it comes to games on the Gamecube & during that generation, this game offers a very interactive experience over more "movie" like games of today like Tomb Raider on PS3. Compared to even a lot of the story based RPGs on the system it pulls you in.

    The graphic presentation isn't really what makes the game. It's the creepy mansion setting and layout that has made this game an instant classic when it first came out and what makes it still a memorable experience today.

    I'm playing this game in 2014 and looking at it from a modern interpretation of video gaming & this game really is an entertaining game. Though on paper it's a fairly simple system of combat, item collecting, & map memorization, each aspect doesn't ask you to do more than needed so the controls never feel limiting except for one...

    In this game you cannot leave an item or pick up an item if your inventory is full. People say play Jill because she has 2 extra inventory spaces. This is horrible until you find the storage chests in the various rooms. In the beginning it will be annoying but later on it does mean some backtracking but load times are quick & the mansion isn't that big that you'll dread going back and forth. This flaw though has a justifiable reason though so KEEP READING:

    In RE Zero ( a top favorite of mine that was designed specifically for the gamecube) you can leave objects anywhere and come back later to pick them up & the game memorizes where you leave everything until you progress onto the next main area. In this RE the ZOMBIE POSITIONS are MEMORIZED BY THE GAME.

    Why that is because in this new RE the zombies never die until you luck out and their head explodes while shooting them or you have to burn them with kerosine in your inventory!

    All the zombies you kill eventually rise again but with more durability & the run & lunge fast at you!

    The only hint to this is in a paper you have to read.

    In fact most the game is like this. You have to utilize & master all the different systems in place like reading, examining up close your inventory, attacking with your knife, modifying your control scheme etc...

    This is a very detailed game that provides a great sense of control & accomplishment once you get used to it. AND NO MATTER WHAT pro reviewers say these controls worked for people almost a decade ago when it was it first came out on the Playstation 1 and it's not that difficult or clunky as some suggest & it would be a shame to miss the game based on that.

    Most reviewers talk about the looks and controls. I'm going to write that it's much more than these... It's about a classic game environment & atmosphere that's still better than what you will find since it's release. It's also very challenging because you have to remember everything & it's a great game to play with my girlfriend watching in a dark room as she helps me keep track.

    It's not perfect so I'm giving it a 9... because I think though the developer's focus on having the game memorizing the zombie positions and them resurrecting harder is definitely intense it does remove some sense of realism & common sense that our heroes should be able to leave things to pick up stuff that's more important but despite this you get a game that has different difficulty levels, two playable characters to play through with & it's a fairly long adventure.

    I keep this game in my top 30 list of must have Gamecube games & I honestly feel you should too, right next to RE4, RE Zero & Code Veronica    … Expand

After playing only Resident Evil 5 I really wanted to expierience the older games, the origins... and I got what I wanted. This is of course a completly diffrent expierience than the newer games. It is more about building a suspensefull atmosphere, where even one random zombie encounter could be your last. The music supports this almost on every occasion (the exeption is the horrible shark fight score)!
    The biggest issue I had, was the terrible inventory... not enough slots... which cqused endless needless backtracking, the same is to say about saving the game... those limited saves are a real pain. But in the end you get an interesting and suspensfull origins story on characters you care... couse if you don't care for them... move along... this might not be the right game for you.    … Expand

The new defensive items are a big help to escape getting hurt and the game is still just so good looking its impressive. Why cant they make all games look like this? The atmosphere is fantastic and the controls ( though most people dont like them) are great because thats how this game is meant to be played. I really suggest this game to anyone whos a fan of survival horror just cause of how great it really is.… Expand

    Legendary survival horror game that has changed an era, defined a genre, and driven the dazzling world success of PlayStation in the 90s.

ManyLegendary survival horror game that has changed an era, defined a genre, and driven the dazzling world success of PlayStation in the 90s. This was Resident Evil, and even if I had not ever finished it, I knew it very well. Searching on the Internet I learned about this version for the GameCube, and when I got the Dolphin emulator, it was one of the first games that I played with it. Many said it was better than the original version: they were right.

    Despite being one of the first games for PlayStation (the plot is identical on GameCube) it must be said that the plot of Resident Evil was definitely structured and deep. It was probably one of the first games to explore issues like the corporations that exploit people, to lie, to follow inhuman experiment, to kill and manipulate public opinion. It is a context that works very well, and where The Mansion plays a key role with its setting simply fantastic: dark, scary, full of traps and secrets. The plot really gives the feeling of being plunged into a nightmare.

    The gameplay of Resident Evil is the definitive horror gameplay: hard, ruthless, funny, complex, never boring and terrifying. I'm definitely not one of the best players of this game, and unfortunately I played Resident Evil 0 (because the plot is set before) that was easier and I took this chapter lightly. And I was seriously wrong. The gameplay of Resident Evil goes beyond the normal games, and its difficulty is remarkable: ammunition, weapons, shots fired, medical herbs, number of enemies, unforeseen events; resources are only a few and you have to plan your moves and the use of the inventory, but at the same time you have to know that plan could be in vain, because the game is unpredictable. The pace and atmosphere of the game are perfect: there are jump scare, but they don't really matter. What matters is the tension, the rhythm, the way the game forces you to feel overwhelmed, worried, scared of the unknown. The puzzles in the game are beautiful, they have consistency, they aren't impossible but simply require a good deal of reasoning, and I was never bored and they don't gave me too much difficulty. In addition, the GameCube version adds to the gameplay also new enemies as Crimson Head; when zombies are killed, the virus inside them changes and transforms them into even stronger and aggressive creatures. The only way to prevent this is to blow zombie's head off, or set their corpse on fire before they transform, using lighter and kerosene. This greatly complicates the gameplay: you have to go back and forth throughout the Mansion, sometimes you don't have enough kerosene, sometimes zombies transform too quickly, sometimes Crimson Head is pretending to be dead until the player doesn't come close, and the monster takes him by surprise. This makes the game scary but fun and challenging. But I wasn't ready for all this. My first round with the game failed, I exhausted ammunitions and herbs, I didn't know how to deal with the Crimson Head, and I couldn't continue. So I had to start again, and this time (still with some difficulty) I managed to play it for real. This is Resident Evil: a game that punishes the naivety and ignorance, but at the same time leaves you the desire to start over, to try again. And that's why I fell in love with the game. And thanks to this perfect gameplay, I can say it exceeded the original game on PlayStation.

    From a technical point of view, Resident Evil on GameCube, was definitely one of the best graphics of its time, considering it came out way back in 2002. There were not many games that could stand up to it, graphically. Once I even noticed that the mouth of the zombies leaks vaporous burr. Simply absurd. The soundtrack is great, it fits perfectly the horror context. With the Dolphin emulator the game did not give me many problems, it flowed quite fluid, maybe there were just a few graphic glitches but nothing serious.

    So, in the end, Resident Evil is the true survival horror game. It offers a high level of challenge, fear, atmosphere, a perfectly balanced pace. It requires patience and effort, but it pays off. It could be called the greatest survival horror game of all time. Definitely one of the best.    … Expand

    A masterful remake of a classic. It stayed true to the original RE while adding new rooms, bosses, weapons, dialogue and voice acting. Graphically, it pushed the GameCube in the same way that Splinter Cell took advantage of the Xbox's capabilities. This is even better than the original PlayStation game from '96. I would rate this with a 9.3 out of 10.

    The pinnacle of survival horror and one of the greatest games ever made. It's been over 20 years and I still love it just as much if not more.

    Survival horror gameplay is so satisfying, especially in Resident Evil Remake. When you start out you feel like a mouse trapped in a violent maze. Then you start to learn the map, figure things out, get better and make your way through. Then the replays begin. You go from fumbling your way through to attempting things like harder difficulties, speed runs, no save runs, no hit runs, etc. It is so enjoyable, rewarding and fun. If there was any game I could forget and experience all over again it would probably be this.

    Every enemy encounter is meaningful because they don’t go down quickly and you have to consider the risk, limited resources, item management and backtracking. When you approach a zombie or hear one around the corner you need to stop and make a decision. Do I take it out or try to run past? Is there another way to go? How much health and/or ammo do I have? How much health and ammo is back in the item box? When am I going back to the item box? How often am I going to come back here? If I put it down will I come back and burn it so it doesn’t get back up? What do I do if I get hit? Do I have any self defence items? How much progress will I lose if I die? The game allows you to screw yourself and never holds your hand but this makes overcoming it so much sweeter. It is utterly fantastic.

    Then on top of this there is enjoyable exploration through creepy, atmospheric environments that you slowly unlock your way further into. With tense action against tough, scary enemies that forces you to stand your ground or run. The weapons hit hard and can produce graphic headshots and you can die just as horrifically. And the puzzles that are just right. Nasty traps, horror, gore and jump scares. This game recipe is f**king exquisite.

    The presentation is stellar. The fixed camera angles allow the developers to perfectly frame the whole game to increase the atmosphere, horror and player discomfort, and to highlight or hide things for the player. The visuals and art direction are excellent. The environments are gorgeous and detailed or dirty and gruesome when needed. The mansion is stunning and has so much atmosphere. It is my favourite video game location ever, it’s that good. The character and enemy models are great. The game is getting old now but still looks so good. Of course the audio is top notch too. The music, sound effects and ambient noises are so well done but they also knew when to have restraint and it’s all such a big part of the game's unnerving atmosphere.

    I love the characters, story, lore and dialogue too. The history of the mansion, Umbrella and the experiments is fun to dive into and all the notes/diaries/documents are worth reading. Jill, Chris, Barry, Rebecca, Wesker, even poor Richard, I love them all. The famous dialogue is a joy as is the B horror movie vibe.

    The only thing I can think of that is wrong is that I wish there was more of it and that we still got games like this regularly. A little bit longer, more options, more unlockables, more variety on further playthroughs. But I’m probably just being greedy, this game is near perfect. The only other issue is that the cave and laboratory areas are not as memorable as the mansion and residence for me.

    It improves on everything from the original while staying true to that vision. It doesn’t really throw anything away or remix stuff too much. It just makes it better and the new additions fit in so well it’s like they were always meant to be there.

    Go play this now if you've never tried it. I’m serious, I don’t care what your plans are. If you’ve never played Resident Evil Remake, fix that as soon as possible. I’m jealous that you get to experience this for the first time and wish I could again. Give it some time, you will get used to the older gameplay style and find it really works for this type of game. I hope as many people as possible enjoy this. Resident Evil Remake is how remakes should be done and how well games in general should be done.

    This is, in my opinion, a shining example of a remake done right. It stays almost completely parallel to the original except with updated graphics, cinematics, and voice acting.

    Hands on, this game (i'm sad to say) looks better than xbox and is the only game to ever make me jump, it felt my heart race as i tried to kill a zombie that just came back.

    This game is amazing. i have played re games, and was never really that scared, but this one just blew me away. its beautiful graphics and great story make a perfect combination, but thats only half of it. its the suspense that really sucks you in. its not like there are 10 zombies in every room and things are popping out everywhere. they get you when you least expect it, and they dontThis game is amazing. i have played re games, and was never really that scared, but this one just blew me away. its beautiful graphics and great story make a perfect combination, but thats only half of it. its the suspense that really sucks you in. its not like there are 10 zombies in every room and things are popping out everywhere. they get you when you least expect it, and they dont take every oppurtunity to scare you. instead of that they make you scared of what could be around every corner, and that is way better than having monsters everywhere. the only downside is that sometimes it just seems impossibly hard and you kind of get pissed, but for the most part i was sucked in and my heart was pounding out of my chest. a must have for gamecube.… Expand

    This is one scary game. The graphics are some of the best ive seen on any consol. although the environments can look a bit static at times they are still really good looking. especially the outside areas. as for the camera angles and controls i dont have a problem with either. by not bein able to see a zombie through a certain camera angle the tension goes up. yeah as for This is one scary game.

    This remake could almost be described as a new game. But is it really Resident Evil without the laughably bad voice acting? [Feb 2003, p.96]

    An incredibly impressive re-imagining of a gaming classic.

    The graphics are some of the best we have ever witnessed in a game to date, the storyline has been refined giving you more information about Umbrella and STARS, the game itself is pure genius.
