    Action over the shoulder game that have nothing to do with the original, they changed the plot, the core gameplay, the characters and they decided to add a ridiculous voice acting, plagued with stupid words and WAY TOO MUCH unnecessary swearing, every time that the fake Leon shoots his gun he has to throw a random curse, even going against religious people.

RE 2 was a masterpiece, and they didn't even had to swear once. Claire looks pathetic and ugly and she barely resembles the original. Leon runs way too slow and it is a very coward person, he sure does not look or act like he is a trained cop, I can run faster in real life (and I am lazy). Zombies and enemies in general are way too strong, 15-20 bullets to kill a zombie and 5 shotgun shells + 5 pistol bullets ro kill a damn licker... pathetic and unfair. The pistol looks like a toy gun, like you are shooting a bb gun at best. Zombies won't even die with a shotgun blast. This game is not hard, it is just way too annoying. The over the shoulder is awful, poorly implemented, the fixed camera angles and tank controls were amazing and they fit so well with a true survival horor game. of course this one has barely nothing of survival horror. Puzzles are a joke, way too easy to figure out, the game commits the worst sin that is to insult and destroy the legacy of the original re 2, spitting in the face to old and real RE 2 fans.… Expand

    Una obra maestra, casi fiel al original de 1998, rejugable desde cualquier punto.

    Another idiotic spin-off no one asked for, praised by paid reviews and giveaways so as clueless idiots who didn't play the original or simply lack of attention to realize what is it in front of them. RIP Capcom, our home of your comeback fell flat once again and you managed to chase away the fans who built you. Congrats on that and once again RIP.

    Great game incredibly short. What you get is 5 hours worth of content, game lasts 10 hours maximum and 50% of that is running through the same rooms over and over. There is no replay value what so ever. It is fun but just not worth the money.

    If you like zombie movies, you'll love this game. Otherwise, stay away. The atmosphere is relentlessly dark and horrific, and the best you can hope for is to decapitate numerous humanoid creatures with the most realistic gore imaginable.

    Ran out of ammo 2 hours into the game and can't progress because of it. Absolutely awfully designed game, which I'll be trading in.

    resident evil 2 is one of those games you want to like because everyone of your friends love it. but you really cant. the way i see it, the game has 95 percent puzzles, 4 percent action and maybe 1 percent horror. if you love puzzles, this game is great. if you dont, its not for you. the only reason i dont give this game 0/10 is because the story, the few cutscenes in between are good andresident evil 2 is one of those games you want to like because everyone of your friends love it. but you really cant. the way i see it, the game has 95 percent puzzles, 4 percent action and maybe 1 percent horror. if you love puzzles, this game is great. if you dont, its not for you. the only reason i dont give this game 0/10 is because the story, the few cutscenes in between are good and the graphics are great.

    the game forces you to play almost the same game multiple times with different characters just so you can see the entire story which is also really weak.    … Expand

    Thanks to this game, I started a bit to like survival/horror games! So, this game made me amazed because this game has lots of mysteries, for example you want to unlock some safe or open the lock, you're looking for some little things, like papers or boards with a code. And for a long searching, you're getting a cool weapon! That's one of the pros! Another pro, is that this game has aThanks to this game, I started a bit to like survival/horror games!

And for a long searching, you're getting a cool weapon! That's one of the pros! Another pro, is that this game has a really good physic of shooting, for example you shoot at zombie "Matilda" (Leon's first gun), and the marks of a bullet stays on it or even when you shoot with a shotgun the whole body part can fall off, and that looked cool and a bit gross! The last pro I want to talk about is that the police office is the best map in this game! But there's also one con which is probably not a big con. So this con is that nobody in the game can't jump, but I think that'd be unfair if main character just jumped over and went to some place! The last con is that the character can't normally run fast like run away from Mr. X, even though he's not that fast, but he can kill after his 2 hits!

    I liked the game it's cool! 9/10    … Expand

    This Resident Evil 2 doesn't replace or overwrite its source game in the way 2002's Resident Evil did, but that doesn't mean it's a bad remake. Rather, it's one of the best the medium has seen; amplifying the underlying horror and replayability at the core of the franchise. Capcom has outdone itself in an era where they're not hurting for successes. Not for the faint of heart, but a survival horror masterpiece nonetheless, Resident Evil 2 sets a standard for good horror, good action, and damn good game design.

    Perfectly captures the essence of the original while offering something completely new.

    Resident evil 2 returns the best way it could possibly be. Capcom is establishing the groundwork for the franchise with this remake.
