    Probably the hardest game in main saga, mostly because of super small inventory, way too much backtracking and barely enough ammo and herbs / aid sprays. Sometimes pretty annoying game. Otherwise very good.

    Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster is easily the most unique of the old-school RE games and one that should be experienced if you're a fan of the series. GL HF!

    Negative-Low Score is from the Sony-Haters. Dont mind of that!

    This is a unique RE installment. It's a single player game featuring cooperative mechanics. You're given the task to control two characters in tandem. This sounds like fun, but can be very frustrating. Basically, this series prequel would play better if it was 2 player co-op. Managing inventory is a pain since Rebecca and Billy can only carry six items at a time. As a result, you'reThis is a unique RE installment. It's a single player game featuring cooperative mechanics. You're given the task to control two characters in tandem. This sounds like fun, but can be very frustrating. Basically, this series prequel would play better if it was 2 player co-op. Managing inventory is a pain since Rebecca and Billy can only carry six items at a time. As a result, you're constantly having to decide which thing is best to carry. Additionally, each character have their own unique abilities that really should belong to them both. For instance, only Billy can move heavy objects and only Rebecca can mix herbs. It can lead to moments of frustration if you decide to split them apart. I would highly advise to always have them stick together. Despite its flaws, the game is good. The HD remaster is gorgeous, even more so than the HD version of the remake. I would rate this with an 8.3 out of 10. Expand

    I found this game to be very entertaining and worth every dollar I spent on it. Challenging but not too hard either at least for me, and I don’t even consider myself to be that good at games.

    If you're willing to adjust to the game's age (which Capcom fails to hide) Resident Evil Zero is a decent horror purchase for the patient and methodical gamer. If you're a long-time fan of the series, you'll enjoy what Zero represents. Besides cashing in, I like to think that Capcom is gauging interest in the classic formula and in that respect, Resident Evil Zero is a history lesson worth bringing back from the grave.

    Resident Evil 0 was the weakest game in the series when it was originally released in 2002 and still is in 2016. [03/2016, p.43]

    The question of why Capcom even bothered with this HD remaster does beg to be raised, because while it might look like a modern release it certainly doesn’t play like one. It’s time that might have been better spent on something else.
