    okay, let's be realistic and truthful here. This game looks amazing considering its a remake of a game that came out in 1998. The new controls are definitely an improvement but still not great, its difficult to see where your going at times and the camera doesn't cooperate very well. The game itself (story, challenge, scare affects) are all intact and well above average. The zombies eatokay, let's be realistic and truthful here.

The game itself (story, challenge, scare affects) are all intact and well above average. The zombies eat many bullets before they fall but a knife to the head kills them instantly..Really? The sound is well done but the cutscenes are a bit grainy. This is by far the best version ever of this game but it is definitely not deserving of a rating of 10. It is however a classic and deserves to be played by anyone who even remotely has an interest in survival horror. Please check it out, don't let this one slip by you. Expand

    Great atmosphere and interesting puzzles with bad vision and Poor control of the game character.
    It is worth playing once.

    As a remaster it's not as polished - graphically - as it should be, but it still proves that the core mechanics of Resident Evil as thrilling as they ever were. [Issue#121, p.81]

    Still downright scarier than most of its successors and an unforgettable journey. [March 2015, p.74]

    Newcomers should be aware that some of Resident Evil’s old-fashioned style can frustrate, but it is still a creepy, involving slice of bona fide video game history.
