    The Game is the best RE ever. It is hard but would you want a game you can finish in 30 min the first time playing? As for the "sucks" rating, must not have been able to get past the first puzzle..HINT: Equip lighter....

    A very good game. Resident Evil has always gave us good games, this one is no exception. It´s very long, it has a nice story line, and it has ZOMBIES (stupids but it´s ok...) absolutely great.

    I loved this game, thought it was the best of all RE's. It was hard going with insane puzzles, you wanted to pull your hair out sometimes but for me very addictive.

Bad comments are clearly from people that cant get out of the first room or dont have the patience for a game that actually requires you to use some brain cells!… Expand

    I hope the people who rated this game bad get ripped up for their crimes. I had a dreamcast and it was best. Then PS2 came along and made better game version, Resident Evil Code Veronica game fun. I saw it avaialbe in a shop for small pennies the other day and i weeped a weary tear. I played this game for at least 10 days straight. No...seriously. I had fun with it and then played it moreI hope the people who rated this game bad get ripped up for their crimes.

I had fun with it and then played it more because the music is Choooooons. Like Andreas said It IS a great game. I played as Claire Redfield or whoever and I got right into. Right stuck in. There were zombies left right and center, all around like standing targets i pulled out my pumper and filled em with digital lead. I shot SOOOO many zombies. More than anyone else. Dont even bother trying to compete. I had the VMU on Dreamcast and the 8MB Memory Cardlet for PS2 and it worked. Like John Lennin said 'Imagine all the people' and Resident Evil Code: VX is a good game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Resident Evil. Hard to get used to at first, once you master the controls, it's smooth sailing from then on. The game is arguably one of the most challenging of the series, especially to somebody who is not used to the concept of survivor horror. Conservation is essential to survival. If you waste your ammo, tough,it's not a 21st century war game.. The Knife is the key to killing the basic zombies, while the bosses and advanced creatures require the best in your arsenal. Characters from the first two games are also present, including Wesker, Chris and Claire. Steve Burnside, may be an irritating git, but his cheesy capcom dialogue does not detract from the fact that RE CV is an underrated masterpiece… Expand

    I don't think I can rate any Resident Evil game from the PS1/PS2 era lower than a 10 with the exception of the FPS ones. Those were just simply a waste of the Resident Evil title. I will say that CVX is interesting and challenging at the same time. You'll love playing it, and even after beating it you'll still want to play it again because it's just that good of a game.

With as long as some systems have been out, as long as you get a Resident Evil game then you know it'll be a classic game for that system. This game is simply amazing and you'll be on the edge of your seat as well as scratching your head for some puzzles. It's definitely worth playing.… Expand

    Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is a great game. I love the fact it has both Claire and Chris Redfield in the game but I don't like Wesker I really cannot stand Wesker.

    This game and Resident Evil 2 are the best. This game continues Claires journey to help save her brother Chris. The character Steve is a great addition and this game has Wesker at his peak. The enemies are a very impressive myriad. The way enemies have clashing goals is also very impressive.

    Possibly the best of the older style RE games. This one has a crazy plot, a crazy good plot.

    Plus the cheesy yet touching thing between Claire & Steve. It did things no other RE did back then and did it very well.

    For 2001, let me tell you, nothing looked as good as this game, the Playstation 2 was rife with poor graphical game on launch due to the complexity of the hardware for developers, but they someone how made the original Dreamcast release run and look great on the PS2 whilst even adding a bit more content.

    Sound track is excellent. The game requires you to use your brain for some puzzles and of course fosters a true survival of the fittest mentality because if you mess up prior to the second part of the game, you are in for a rough ride that could inconveniently have you starting all over again.

    Personally, my favourite classic RE game. Admittedly, it starts off pretty slow, but give it enough time you'll be hooked till the end credits, which will leave you breathless. Fingers crossed that Capcom does a remake/reimagining after RE8 and RE4 remake.

    Resident Evil - Code: Veronica is undoubtedly the best among the old, classic style RE games.

    Very complete game: with many different locations to explore, e.g. the very atmospheric castle, Antarctica etc., it leaves you with a sense of satisfaction after beating it.

    Interesting storyline, plenty of puzzles and inspired, intimidating villains like the Tyrant or the Nosferatu.

    This is, for all intents and purposes the same game that was released for the DC over a year ago. It was great then, it's still great now.
