Sorry for doing a post like this but after a my Geography GCSE Mock Exam I returned home to find copy of Resident Evil on the mat :) The Graphics are the best I have ever seen and that is coming from someone who owns an Xbox and Splinter Cell amongst other great looking games. The audio is good in Pro Logic 2 but as of yet it hasn't made me jump. To be honest I havent' played it that much yet because I am saving it for tonight so that I can go through it and enjoy (if there is such a thing with a horror game) Resident Evil! Control Scheme A isn't very good and that is coming from someone who has completed EVERY Resident Evil to date including a Japanese very of Gun Survivor on the PSONE. In the end I settled for Control Scheme 3 as I like the way you can hold down R to walk and run depeneding on how much pressure.
I picked up 1 defensive weapon on the balcony where the Zombie walks around but I was unaware that you can only use it once and then you have to search for another so I used it and stabbed a Zombie in the head :) I still can't get over the graphics and how breath taking they are. I like the way Chris walks with the gun (yet to see the girls handling), finally someone (excluding UBI SOFT with Splinter Cell) has gotten proper movements with the Gun and made them realistic. I like the way that the characters actually walk on the stairs instead of gliding up and down them (this was my biggest complaint with Splinter Cell)!
The opening FMV was excellent and it really got me anticpating what had happened to the other guy in the group. However 5 minutes later I found out ;)! After completing Code Veronica I remember how Chris had a very big fight with Albert Wesker at the end in a FMV movie which was worth completing the game alone to see. However even though I remember veighgly them falling out I don't exactly remember so I am in for a treat when I get to the end of the GameCube version :) I can see it turning out to be one of my all time favouritie games and possibly the best in the series yet (although Code Veronica is an excellent game).
So, one of the major reasons for buying a Cube has arrived and here I am telling you guys what I think :) Great game and so far worth the purchase alone, things can only get better!

AH! That gets you the sweet sweet magnum.
Not essential to plot, but essential for fun.
Plonk it in one of the statues in the graveyard and some more will turn over. Solve the puzzle and get the quality gun!
Mario Sunshine rules.

Its got absolutley 0 pick up and play value but that is what I enjoy about it. I am quite far now but I have ran out of kerosene and the fill up tubs are empty as well :( I am looking forward to the shark tank, I am nust be near it now although I am getting a bit lost with a hexagonal shaped gold object found in the room with the fish tank?!

Unfortunately, I never got very far on Resident Evil at all. I came at a really bad time for me (just before I got Super Mario Sunshine, which is amazing and something you should own, Alistair), and so I made very little progress at all. All I remember now is destroying a corridor full of zombies after they broke through the glass.
I just can't wait until the games drought so I can start playing through some games.

I checked yesterday
The only one they sell is Shenmue 2X on the XBox, although I know it's rubbish, it would still be unfair to review a game that I don't own.

LOL! Nice translation using the WS translater, however I think Tiltawhirl will back me up on this one when saying that the Shenmue games are some of if not the best games ever created.
Cheers Tilta I will bare that in mind about going back down the corridor again although I think that I have already been back down 3 times and although there is some glass on the floor the dogs haven't jumped through. I just remembered the bath tub moment when I drained the water and the Zombie fell out, Classic! I had a feeling that the dog on the balcony would need a more than just a couple of bullets, however as of yet I can not stake the Shotgun as when I leave that room the roof caves in on the next room and the only way that I could stop it was by putting the Shotgun back. I am going to try and find something that I can put on the rack instead ut as of yet I can not find anything that would be apporopriate.
