"WOW!"

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!

*Breaks into chorus of things can only get better*

This game really is good, I loved it.

Didn't get the chance to complete it fully though which sucked. Still top stuff, by the way Crimson Heads are well annoying, the first time I came across one I was holly **** and lost half my energy, heh.

Discovering new rooms/areas is so good.

Backtracking and running around without a clue sucks.

You get the feeling that the people who don't like Resi, just plain suck at it?

but Shenmue isn't on the GC...

WHat you need is to sell the crappy game and buy a decent one.

*Runs in*

I have Resident Evil! The GC version!

I need a Gamecube to play it on mind....

Such a great game - I claimed it as a GAD :). It's got the best sound I've ever experienced, so if Zero (7th March) supports Pro Logic II, it should be amazing.

Its almost totally different from the original for me. I completed the original about 5 years a go but I can remember it a bit and so far it feels so much different.

Definitely the best game out for the Cube, for me.

Strangely I haven't completed it as many times as I foresaw, probably because I've been a fan of the series since '96 when the original was released, so I've kind of already completed it several times.

shops always offer you crap prices for 2nd hand games.

No I don't think it is utter rubbish and I don't think the shops do either!

Tilta, I don't need a thunderstorm outside as I got my Pro Logic 2/Surround Sound working on my GameCube and although Resident Evil doesn't support Pro Logic 2 it does have some interesting surround sound when I switch my AMP to 4 Channel Dolby :)
