    CAPCOM Just brought the alcohol pizza and women to the party.

    Great Game.

    32 a 128 bits reflejados en este increíble juego. Tiene una ambientación impecable, Mr X es lo mejor del titulo. Zombies como tienen que ser, puzles buenísimos. Una jugabilidad entre el 4 y el 2 es medio raro decirlo asi pero digamos que tiene lo mejor de los dos mundos. La parte de la niña de lo mejor de terror que visto en mucho tiempo.

    En los malo podría decir que para mi le falta la banda sonora original que ya este deposi impuesta en el juego, que es maravillosa. Algunas zonas como la alcantarilla para mi no esta al nivel. La parte 2 ya se de Leon o Claire es demasiado similar una entre otra. El juego aunque se muy bueno se te hace bastante corto y al menos para mi da un poco de pereza un jugar otra vez haber que paso en esa escena post créditos de la primera parte del juego. Capaz si hubiera sido diferente merecería por supuesto mas nota, no le quita que esa un maravillo juego que si eres fan de Resident Evil como a los juegos de terror es una compra obligatoria 8.5/10.    … Expand

    Un remake casi perfecto.
    Mejora en absolutamente todo al original, técnica y jugablemente impecable, todo tiene más sentido. Si rascamos un poco diremos que la coherencia de continuidad entre las 2 campañas no existe, pues el original lo desarrollaba mejor, pero, hace que el concepto de este sea parecido al de las 2 campañas del primero, es decir, no se entrelazan entre ellas.

It took me way too long to get to this game but I finally was able to beat it. Having not played the original Resident Evil 2 but being a big fan of the franchise, I went into this game with high expectations and no idea of what was going to happen. This game pulled me in from the get go with the classic Resident Evil corny yet charming dialogue, gruesome and scary set pieces, great and fluid gameplay, and a truthfully terrifying atmosphere. I love the incorporation of Mr. X in this game as he stalks you and lurks around various corners. It's a gameplay element that always keeps you on your toes and makes you think before going certain places or using one of the very sparse resources in the game. Unfortunately, it seems that since this game was a critical and financial success, Capcom will most likely milk these remakes as much as they can(as seen with the lackluster but still passable Resident Evil 3 remake). But this game is a must play if you are a horror fan or not. It's a truthfully groundbreaking remake that will live in infamy for years to come.… Expand

    Más que excelentísimo remake, Resident Evil 2 trae de vuelta la esencia de la saga y olvida todo lo que fueron las últimas entregas numeradas, cogiendo únicamente los mejores aspectos de Resident Evil VII.

    El juego especialmente en su parte narrativa tiene pequeños bajones (especialmente en el recorrido Leon A).

    Resident Evil has always been a hallmark of my childhood nostalgia. I remember spending entire nights watching my older brother play through the titles while my father helped solve puzzles and point him in the right direction.

I remember spending entire nights watching my older brother play through the titles while my father helped solve puzzles and point him in the right direction. Fast forward almost 18 years later, It'd finally be my chance to play a resident evil title on my own. I think the most impressive feat that this game accomplished was it's ability to really go all in on that horror atmosphere that has been missing from the last few titles. In the previous installments (mostly Resident evil 5 and 6) the non-stop action made it a little bit difficult to really embrace its history as a top dog in the survival horror genre. I think Resident Evil 2 Remake is a perfect entry in the series because it really cements this series as one of the greatest of all time. Despite the game being third person and lacking the "tank controls" of the original, I think Capcom did an excellent job portraying Leon's first day on the job through the intentionally clunky controls and the zombies themselves being bullet sponges just like the classic titles. The return of certain enemies allows for some truly dynamic gameplay sequences that make for some really memorable moments. The new and improved layout of the police station along with all of the updated puzzles and level designs does the original plenty of justice. All in all, I think that Resident Evil 2 Remake deserves all of the praise it's gotten and then some for putting Capcom back on the map and restoring the Resident Evil franchise to its former glory.… Expand

    Okay... I just want to think this remake never happened like this.
    Why did they cut content (such as The Marshalling Yard area, some extra costumes, some weapons, and the Extreme Battle Mode), why the Scenario A doesn't connect with Scenario B? WHY THE OVER THE SHOYLDER CAMERA?! This is not a remake... is crap.

    Resident evil as I always wanted it. There are a lot of puzzles, the doors opening and closing without loading is really the turning point, although it was an implementation that was already present in 4. I enjoyed playing with it.It remains one of my favorite video games, I expected to see the same quality in 3 too, unfortunately it wasn't like that. Why not turn RE 7 into this kind of game?

Managing your inventory is still key but the addition of being able to upgrade the no. of slots by finding pouches and being able to discard iraticates any frustrations I had with the original. The gameplay is smooth and tight saying goodbye to tank controls and hello to 8th gen controls. While using your arsenal of weapons never felt better the enemy is still a threat, with even the basic zombie being able to take multiple headshots before going down and the tougher enemies are real resource drainers. The resource management conundrum of whether it's worth it killing a enemy or deciding to try to run around them. and terror the creatures envoke is exactly what I want out of the genre. The puzzles return and are just as well balanced as before challenging but not frustrating. The addition of Mr X however is what makes the game special. The unkillable brute follows you around everywhere and the sounds of his footsteps instantly put you on edge. The two playable characters of Chris and Claire are really well acted and a joy to play with through this well told story. There arsenal changes, story changes and unique area make both playthroughs a must with Claire's being my preference. The only downside is the lackluster boss fights that bring the game down a little. Overall a must play game for anyone remotely interested in giving it a shot… Expand
