    All in all, Resident Evil Zero doesn’t even come close to being called a remastered version because it offers nothing but minor visual upgrades.

    A joyless game. Every section feels like a tedious lateral thinking puzzle – "the farmer has a fox, a chicken and some grain, but can only carry one at a time" – and the locations and creatures are half-heartedly designed. If you haven't played it, it provides valuable insight into where Resident Evil, and perhaps games at large, went wrong over the past decade or so. Other than that, it feels like work.

    Love the game one of the best entries in the series! Scary, atmospheric, great characters, story, everything about this game is so AWESOME. MyLove the game one of the best entries in the series! Scary, atmospheric, great characters, story, everything about this game is so AWESOME. My advice to everyone not to trust the game sites bull crap review since all are biased, especially IGNorants, they hire ppl who are new to the series who have no experience playing these games to review the games and they complain about stupid minor issues like inventory case, loading doors, fixed camera angles, etc. I think it's perfect the way it is, and that is what made the old RE games so memorable and legendary than the new ones.

    Resident Evil the way it should be horror, gore, puzzles, atmosphere, and gameplay. Anyone who is a "old school" Resident Evil fan like myselfResident Evil the way it should be horror, gore, puzzles, atmosphere, and gameplay. Anyone who is a "old school" Resident Evil fan like myself would of already played this but the upgraded visuals keep it fresh and looking good. The nice additions to the first remaster is the ability to drop items instead of finding a chest to store all items although a chest in save areas would of been nice. The character models look fantastic for its age and the enemies look great aswell. The added Wesker mode is a fun addition too. Patiently waiting for the RE2 remake now. Full Review »
