    The story and gameplay for RE: CV X is excellent. However, there are a few problems regarding detail and graphics. Compared to RE 0 and RE(remake), detail and graphics are considerably obsolete. The environments are too bright(except the private residence). The sound effects sound some what fake. Many games include sounds that were taken from reality, while this game has fake gun noises.

The game is a good game to get involved in. There are plenty of enemys and puzzles that are confronted, and the dual roles are more interesting than having control of only one character. I would say, disregarding draw backs, any RE fan should buy the game.… Expand

    Another great Resident Evil game, but oh wait...... It's been on TWO other consoles! Not that's bad, I am glad to see them give everyone a chance at RE, but Hunter H.

    Awesome. Despite the fact that this game is 5 years old, i only just got my hands on it for the gamecube as i am collecting the entire series for gamecube as i am a die hard fan. I played Resident Evil 4 which was amazing and even though this game is old like i said, it is nevertheless still an amazing game. The graphics are still very good even if they may look noticeable outdated Awesome.

I played Resident Evil 4 which was amazing and even though this game is old like i said, it is nevertheless still an amazing game. The graphics are still very good even if they may look noticeable outdated compared to the newer gamecube releases but graphics arent always what makes a game fun to play in the first place, and in this case its spot on. You still see some very nice looking environments and the cinematic movies are still excellent. The gameplay is still intact and as long as that same gameplay is there any true resident evil fan will never get tired of the playing it...a true fan like myself anyway. I can continue playing resident evil titles and never get bored of the gameplay. Shooting zombies and other creatures honestly never gets boring for me. The controls for code veronica are the same as the rest of the titles (excluding re4 of course) and i've never had a complaint about the controls. Theyre something you get used to and once you are used to them, theyll feel as normal as ever. To sum it all up, code veronica is an essential edition to your resident evil collection. Although it was made originally as a side quest kind of game to the main storyline, it is infact very related to the main games and will surely please any resident evil fan. Awesome… Expand

    Resident Evil Code: VX for game cube is a good game. It feels a little obsolete because this game was released after RE Remake and RE 0 (2002 and 2003). However this game is a classic, and also is rare for the game cube. So, give it an opportunity.

    Very good resident evil. Boring at the start, interesting later. People who voted down for it, i hope you get ran over by a combine harvester lol. Seriously. The graphics are good, sound is good and story is good. ALSO! ITS BEEN RELEASED IN HD ON PS3 AND XBOX 360 LATE 2011! OMG!

    Let me begin. I am a diehard Resident Evil fanatic. I love this series to death. This is the worst installment in the series and the only one I hate. I hated the original Code veronica, so this one is no different. Zombies take, what? 9 shots to kill? Healing items are very scarce The shotgun doesn't 1 hit, unless you shoot the head. The heads dont blow off! Back tracking x10000! Let me begin. I am a diehard Resident Evil fanatic. I love this series to death. This is the worst installment in the series and the only one I hate.

Play it if you want, or else just read the Resident evil History.… Expand

    Pour moi il est dans la même trempe que le 2 et le 3. Le gameplay est un peu différent mais donne sa patte au jeu (tout en restant stressant), et l'histoire (ainsi que la musique) apporte une vraie ampleur au jeu. :)

    Si je pouvais, là encore je mettre un demi point de plus (8,5).

    Un bon Resident Evil, qui fit découvrir les Ashford d'une façon pas mal.

    A good story with an exceptional storyline and very memorable and hard moments in Resident Evil. The expansion of the Resident Evil universe continues to be carried out in a masterly manner.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. New mechanics, a more fluid gameplay and a fresh tone for the saga. The "X" version brought some changes from its previous release in Dreamcast, but they are not that noticeable. A quite dramatic but well-worn story where suspense and horror remain conscious. One of my favorite titles in the series.

    PD. The Tyrant's battle sucks.    … Expand

    Primera entrega principal de la saga y posiblemente mi segundo favorito dentro de esta, es el primero en mostrar gráficos totalmente en 3D y una cámara algo mas dinámica dejando atrás los planos fijos. Como juego sigue la estela de los Resident Evil clasicos, esta entrega es algo mas larga y un poco mas difícil que sus predecesoras.

    The best looking of the classic Resident Evil games thanks to its actually modeled backrounds and moving camera that adds a constant creepy atmosphere to the whole experience, as well as one of the best told stories and a good lenght.

    Dude, this game is really great! And yeah, I know Code: Veronica has its flaws, but it's actually funny to play it. It has a lot of puzzles, great guns and bosses.

    I recommend you to play this version and the Xbox 360 and PS3 one.

    best RE there ever was. fantastic story, settings and characters (except steve burnside). kids these days just cry because of limited ammo and saves while wanting super easy games.
    the skill issue is real these days...

    The game's important story is now critical to the evolving RE plot thanks to "Resident Evil 4." So, if you want to knowingly absorb all that RE4's story presents, you should definitely take a creepy walk down memory lane.

    If you want to play a classic survival horror game the way it was originally meant to be played then you'll want to check out Resident Evil Code: Veronica X...Be warned that you're not getting anything new.

    If you’ve never played this title before, add a couple of points for being one of the least informed gamers out there. There’s no shame in that.
