I still can't get to terms how capcom fitted the whole of Resident Evil 2 on a 64 mb cart, All of the 6 scenarios (Claire A,B Leon A,B Hunk,Tofu) were included with extra files and better character models but even with NO loading times the game played exactly the same as the original because of the way the playstation cleverly blends the loading times in with the menu and doors.
The Character Models were enhanced and are supposed to look even better with the N64's expansion pack but even so they looked near enough the same with texture mapping enabled on a Playstation 2.
I was amazed to see the FMV's running on the N64 but you wouldn't notice it on a normal TV but with 8 large speakers in my room I noticed the sound on both the FMV's and in game wasn't as good and clear as it is with other versions, I'm told it's because of the massive compression needed to fit the game onto the very small cartridge.
The extra files weren't as good as I expected, I thought they were files to fill in the blanks of some unfinished
story plots but were just reports from Chris, the gun shop owner,Jill and some others. Are these extras worth paying 3 and a half times more than the PS version?, Propably not but if you only own a Nintendo 64 then it's worth getting anyway.
This is the only Resident Evil game to appear on the N64 and is most likely one of the very few mature titles on the console but if you're looking for a masterpiece of survival horror then this is for you.

Well this so called mature game i picked up for £15 and it bored the hell out of me, the combat is crap, the puzzels are mainly boring, I hate the way you cant interact with the backgrounds. It took me about 2 hours to complete, okay so there was the added bonus of completing it twice and getting some extra levels, but i couldnt be bothered cause it was painfull enough playing it through once. I wasn't impressed at all.
