    Just read few "critic" reviews, it's pretty obvious that the "professional" reviewers never played any of the original RE games. Good game buy it and enjoy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There will be people here who complain about the controls and difficulty, which is to be expected given how 'awkwardly' the old RE titles handle. With that said, the controls don't take long to learn and to dismiss the game based on how it controls is an injustice to what is still a great game at core. This is arguably the apex of the old survival horror format, and in itself is a piece of gaming history. It might not have the immediate gratification of most 'pick up and play' games of this preteen CoD camper era, but if you take the time to absorb the atmosphere and setting, and pick up the nuances of the game then the rewards will be manifold.… Expand

    This is the very last time RE was a non-linear true survival game. The last time in RE history that there were puzzles that took more than two seconds to figure out. The last time you had to figure out just what this item is for and where you're supposed to go. The last time you had to worry that killing everything might leave you out of ammo. The last time you had to backtrack through anThis is the very last time RE was a non-linear true survival game.

The last time you had to worry that killing everything might leave you out of ammo. The last time you had to backtrack through an area. The last time you ran into a locked door and had no idea where the key was. And it did all of that really damn well, while preserving the cheesy dialogue and silly plot that RE is known and remembered for.… Expand

    Excellent Resident Evil experience! The last of the RE games that you don't know where to go and what to do next, with all the creatures around! Great story and great survival horror game-play! Recommended for all the RE fans who loved the fixed camera angles and the dark atmosphere! Of course its a 10!

    You know it's not a true HD Release when textures look exactly the same as the PS2/DC/Gamecube versions, however everything else was done correctly, the source content is intact and they even went and enhanced the graphics by quite a large amount, which somehow people here have not mentioned, like dynamic shadows instead of a blob under everything, proper lighting being implemented whereYou know it's not a true HD Release when textures look exactly the same as the PS2/DC/Gamecube versions, however everything else was done correctly, the source content is intact and they even went and enhanced the graphics by quite a large amount, which somehow people here have not mentioned, like dynamic shadows instead of a blob under everything, proper lighting being implemented where it shines onto things from a light source, plus the huge improvement to water by using a nice shader. Also 99.9% of PS2/Gamecube/DC owners used composite cables, so telling yourself it's merely a bump in resolution is lying to yourself, this version is the version to buy if you have never yet had the joy to play through this RE title, it was made at a time where 3D games looked and played with real finess, but this release has made a really good effort to look modern day on PS3/360 yes i own both versions, it is a great game. I also own the Dreamcast Japan import Biohazard Complete SE and RECVX for PS2.… Expand

    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!

    Huh... Now... NOW WHAT WE NEED IS RESIDENT EVIL OUTBREAK IN HD! COME ON CAPCOM!

Estoy muy sorprendido de que me haya gustado tanto, solo en la parte final me decepcionó la historia y se me hizo algo pesado, pero en conjunto el juego me ha encantado, he encontrado lo que apenas existe en los juegos modernos, dificultad, escenarios en los que te puedes desorientar, buena ambientación, puzzles (algunos difíciles y muy bien pensados), etcétera. A pesar de sus años sigue siendo un muy buen juego y está a la altura de los otros RE clásicos con cámaras fijas, solo por la parte final y el desenlace no lo coloco como el segundo mejor RE tras el primero. Juego muy recomendable. 9/10.… Expand

    Um ótimo remaster, um game simplesmente épico, sua história, mecânicas, puzzles, dificuldade e várias outras coisas.

    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...

    When Code Veronica was released on the Dreamcast in 2000, it was an amazing game. Today it feels outdated, especially after the changes Resident Evil 4 brought to the series. [Nov 2011, p.97]

    It's going to be off-putting for newcomers because it's an awkward mess in the context of modern gaming's drive for slick controls but regardless, it's strangely familiar and reminiscent of a different era for everyone else. [Issue#211, p.99]

    Moments of horror glimmer among the frustration. [Dec 2011, p.108]
