Sep 6, 2023another masterpiece made by capcom game explains itself i have nothing to say
-
Sep 3, 2023Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!! re2
-
Aug 23, 2023When it was released i was too young, and this game scared the sh*t out of me, and also, it was way too hard for me.
-
Aug 14, 2023It still great even by today standards. In some regards, I do prefer this versions than the 2019 remake, and back in the day it might have been just astonishing to play it.
-
Aug 11, 20238.5. It's amazing, the ambience and everything is top notch . The remake was better but they are pretty different in their ways.

Aug 1, 2023Probably greatest survival horror of all time. I felt like this game really pushed the whole zombie apocalypse to another level from the romero horror films. If someone was to ask me which resident evil i should play first to understand or really know what this series is about i would say this. Its one of my favorite games of all time and if i could give it an 11 i would. Highly recommend.

Jul 5, 2023A bad game with terrible graphics. Why did they release it in this state?
If you think that anything other than graphics matters, then you need to be arrested and killed for being so stupid that it's surprising that you can even get out of bed. -
Jun 23, 2023The zombie threat reaches the streets of Racoon City. I personally prefer the claustrophobic single setting of the mansion in the first game, but the graphics, dialogue and voice acting are much improved. Another spooky and absorbing adventure.

May 30, 2023One of my favorite games of all time and my favorite Resident Evil game. One of the few games I got to play with my dad growing up.
-
May 17, 2023Not only one of the best Resident Evil games, but one of the best games of all time. Perfection from start to finish.
-
Jan 12, 2023Resident Evil 2 is amazing and a PS1 classic that everyone should play. The soundtrack, story, characters, everything is amazing.
-
Mar 26, 2023To this day this is my 3rd most favorite resident evil game and I think it's absolutely perfect for it's time never get's boring

Mar 18, 2023muy bueno mi tercer resident evil favorito leon mi personaje favorito me encanta
-
Jan 31, 2023One of the best.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -
Jan 21, 2023Resident Evil 2 expands on the original in all the right ways. The game has a lot more replay value than the first game does. There are four completely unique playthroughs that will take you around 15 or so hours to complete. I think the level design is actually better in this one than the first game. It's really a lot of fun to play.

Dec 28, 2022A gripping and terrifying story, with excellent gameplay way ahead for its time.

Dec 17, 2022As a boomer I was there when real gaming was born. And Resident Evil 2 is the finest child of this awesome birth. Count your ammo and enjoy this gaming around the midnight.

Sep 16, 2022Contrary to legend, the first newspaper reviews of Vertigo were very good. It was the serious magazine reviews in "Time," "Newsweek" and "The New Yorker" that dismissed the movie. (Chicago Tribune)
Vertigo's mesmerizing title sequence is by Saul Bass--who later did -
Aug 8, 2022Um clássico que jogo até hoje. Primeira vez que zerei tinha 11 anos. A jogabilidade e a história são perfeitos!
-
Jul 14, 2022One of the most memorable games in history is a complete experience of fear and survival, the gameplay mechanics are excellent, the whole enemy type is cool with a unique design, I'm not saying it's not a masterpiece, but the first version was more memorable.
-
May 3, 2022An excellent game. One of the most innovative and unique games ever made. The A and B scenarios provide excellent replay ability. The cutscenes however have not aged well. Still this game is a masterpiece of horror.
-
Mar 27, 2022Esse jogo é perfeito! Pra mim o melhor jogo da franquia, para quem busca um Horror Game/Survival Horror é uma grande recomendação minha
-
Mar 24, 2022Lo más destacable es la ambientación y sobre todo la banda sonora. La historia es muy buena, pero no está del todo hilada. Los puzles son muy fáciles pero el nivel de dificultad es en general el adecuado.
-
Mar 11, 2022It's probably because i was spoiled by the later resident evil games but I just did not enjoy this as much as I would have liked. It's not a bad game nonetheless.

Feb 5, 2022Resident evil 2 improves on every aspect of the original as in story, new characters, while also keeping that same survival horror aspect that we all know resident evil for. This is a solid entry to the franchise and is arguably one of the absolute best resident evils still to this day.

Nov 15, 2021Um dos games que aprimorou seu antecessor e fez com que a saga ficasse conhecida na era PS1, simplesmente um game atemporal.
-
Sep 27, 2021Resident Evil 2 is arguably better than the original. If the first game was "Night of the Living Dead", than this sequel is "Dawn of the Dead". It's everything RE 1 was, but on a much bigger scale. There is more action, more cinematics, two playable characters and four different endings. This is one of the best games in the series. I would give it a 9.3 out of 10.

Aug 20, 2021The one in the the franchised that introduced my fav character in the RE series to date. Leon S. Kennedy. Play one disc with Leon or Claire and you end the game in the second disk with the other. Raccoon City was never the same again.

Apr 29, 2020Capcom made a great remake. It is the perfect game in this new generation for survival horror lovers. Maybe not really deep from a narrative point of view, but it is soo fun and beautiful.
-
Apr 19, 2020Классика! даже сейчас остается самой любимой частью серии!
-
Apr 14, 2020The legacy of Resident Evil 2 cannot be understated. It is the benchmark that most survival horror games are measured against, it serves as the basis of the current canonicity of the Resident Evil franchise. It spawned countless games, spin-offs, comics, soundtracks and audio dramas. It remains to this day, one of the best games ever made.

Apr 11, 2020A solid horror game with great level design and good combat. Not particularly tense, scary or atmospheric.
-
Apr 2, 2020The best RE in the Resident evil serie, the best of the trilogy for ps1, amazing and beautiful game.

Dec 14, 2019O jogo é simplesmente incrível, para um fanático de Resident Evil como eu o jogo é uma overdose de nostalgia, não tenho palavras para falar, Leon e Ada um " casal " clássico estão mais que perfeito no jogo.
-
Dec 12, 2019Una pietra miliare che ha fatto la storia dei videogiochi horror e del medium in generale. Un avventura coinvolgente e divertente che continua ad affascinare nonostante l’età.

Dec 8, 2019It was a back then revolutionary game, cinematic masterpiece bringing more to the survival horror genre and hope of a better future for the mentioned genre.

Nov 3, 2019Esse jogo é simplesmente fantástico! Resident Evil 2 é o melhor jogo do Playstation 1. Re2 traz tudo que um jogo de terror precisa, desde historia, jogabilidade, trilha e efeitos sonoros, gráficos (para época), etc... Vale a pena jogar!!!!

Sep 25, 2019Summary: Ready or not, the terror of Resident Evil 2 is here. In chapter one, the case of the disastrous T-virus outbreak--a mutagenic toxin designed for biological weapons--was eventually closed but the experiments were far from over. Control the destiny of Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield as their… Expand

Sep 25, 2019El primer Resident Evil que me he pasado y no podría haberme dejado mejor sabor de boca. Me ha encantado la manera en la que nos tenemos que administrar los recursos, como hay que usar los distintos objetos, los puzzles y sobretodo la exploración me ha maravillado recordándome a un metroidvania.
-
Aug 7, 2019Si bien es mas completo y tiene algunas cosas arregladas del primer juego, sigue teniendo muchos de los mismos problemas ya sea los controles, cámara o el sistema de guardado.
-
Jul 30, 2019The best survival-horror game. The perfection of the franchise has been reached with this milestone
-
Mar 19, 2019A true game of classic survival horror and not a garbage hybrid of the action and shooting genre.
-
Mar 12, 2019A wonderful sequel filled with content and improvements in every aspect from the original. And while I do not hold the same view of this being one of if not the best RE game but do still believe Its a great time to play just not amazing.
-
Feb 12, 2019A flawless game.I played this back in 1998 when it came out as a kid and boy it is a masterpiece.THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MAGNIFICENT MIRACLE OF A GAME.

Jan 3, 2019One of the best games I played in my life. The graphics, the feeling of darkness, the gameplay, the story, the characters, the sound section ... One of the gems that nobody can miss if they have a Playstation 1

Dec 4, 2018The story of the wonderful meaning of the word and the way to play For examples of the most beautiful games Resident Evil We have events and scenario of the events of the game Shed fun with time and raise the level of difficulty of the game with time, especially with the head

Nov 13, 2018A Masterpiece, loved everything about this game, it is definitely a must play!
-
Oct 20, 2018Well the golden era of Resident Evil, there is a remake happening because this game captured what is truly horrifying.
A scientist working on the G-Virus, injects the sample into himself in order to stop him dying.
Roams the cop station after his daughter wanting to impregnate her with G embryos. Pretty haunting and disturbing in it's self. Oh and he can rival NEMESIS in his persistence. -

Apr 14, 2018Cuando lo jugué de joven me asombre por lo inmersivo de los escenarios, lo interesante de los personajes y su ambiente desolador de terror, una obra maestra de su género.
Música, escenarios y personajes asombrosos. Un juego brillante. -

Aug 9, 2017The best part in the game series is Resident Evil in my opinion. This game was released in 1998 and still knows how to surprise and the most important thing for the genre of this game is to scare !!

Mar 6, 2017Capcom stepped up their game with Resident Evil 2 and created an amazing game that is one of the best if not the best in the series. A must play game.
-
Feb 26, 2017This is arguably the best Resident Evil in the entire series and one of the best horror games ever made. Everything is perfect in this game from the atmosphere, the level design, enemies, and soundtrack. If you are looking for an amazing survival-horror game, then this is a very good choice.

May 16, 2016This game is a game perfect !
I can't believe that's game was release 1998 !!
Sound Flawless , graphics good but resident evil 3 best graphics than resident evil 2 because RE3 good revealed raccoon city . but I think Resident evil 2 a revolution at all games . I still enjoying from play RE2
Throwing off Ada The only scene was that I cried :'( -
Dec 20, 2015Was not for RE1 Remake it would be the best Survival Horror of all time. storytelling/story and characters evolved a ton from first game, graphics are much better. No downsides for such a awesome game.
-
Dec 12, 2015loved this game back in 1998,
scary graphics
, immersive story,
hyper gore action,
clever puzzle solving
, historic event in video games, only detriment,
replay is very limited, given the few gameplay options.

Oct 7, 2015Loved this game when I was a child and it first came out, and I still love it now. A masterpiece and forerunner in survival horror. If for whatever reason you haven't picked this gem up, then you need to and find out what you've been missing out on!
-
Sep 15, 2015As a sequel, Resident Evil 2 is up there as one of the best. It is also one of the best, if not the best, entries in the series. The story and the music are especially powerful.

Aug 23, 2015Never liked it. It was too long and boring. You actually had to finish game four times (with some differences) to complete it. It tried to be copy of first RE - two characters and big place filled with zombies. Nah. It's like the same game, but longer and less interesting.

GMR MagazineZombies running amok in Raccoon City; more B-movie voice acting running amok on your speakers. Enough to fill two disks this time! [Feb 2003, p.97]

The sequel elevates what was so great about the first one to a complete new level of terror.
-
One of the most clever, crowd-pleasing, tense, dramatic, beautiful and playable games ever conceived.
