Like the title says..... I was very dissapointed with it, the other games were great but this one just isn't what I was expecting. You run out of ammo and the zombies are practically impossibleto kill with a knife.......gonna take it back.

possom - I totally agree with you. After playing Resi for around 5 hours, its just become plain linear boringness!!!

I especially hate the way u have to go back to the inventory box every 2 seconds. I also find i run out of ink ribbons very quickly, leaving me stranded until i find more. I mean the game looks stunning, but its still too much like the older versions.

Damn don't take it back. If you are finding it hard then use Jill and have 8 items and she gets more ammo.

I have only died once and I am on 2nd time around completing it with Chris.

Really. Really... really good game!

GameCube owners stop replying to him, he doesn't even have a GameCube! He did a post in the Xbox forum saying that the Xbox and the GameCube are "going down to chinatown" (whatever that means) and that they can not compete with the PS2. He is a very big PS2 fanboy and he is wasting your time!

In light of the post just to make things clear. Resident Evil for the GameCube was the only reason why I was going to get one (love these games) and even though I own an Xbox I have to say this game is superb. The graphics are lush and the game is extremly scary. On the down side it would be great to hear this game in 5.1 and see it on Xbox as well :)

Ah well I am picking up Silent Hill 2 this week and with it being exactly 2 weeks until my Birthday I will be up and running in full 5.1/DTS home cinema sound. Not that I am greedy but its all in my room, Mwahahahahaha :)

It'd be rubbish with unlimited ammo and Zombies that drop dead like cheese.

Well your entitled to your own opinon of course.

I can see how people might hate the control system.

And I can see how some people may buy it thinking it's full of zombies and stuff that you gun down etc. When actually they don't realise that it's about realistic survival.


Anyway, just remember that it's a hell of a lot better then the PSOne original.

The whole point is that you have very little ammo. That way it is scarier. Do we have to spell it out? Resident Evil games have been getting steadily easier (ammo wise) over the series, to the point at which Code Veronica became pathetically easy. You should see the amount of ammo I have on my save at the end of it! Hundreds and hundreds of bullets! And that's my first run through the game I'm talking about!

It's nice to see they've finally taken it back to it's roots and started to scare you again. Let's hope Resi 0 carries on this trend.

So the fact that it uses the same control system as the PS2...
And that it is like the other REsi games...

makes me conclude that.... you're crap go get an amateur console like a PS2...

I think resi evil is good, but it was hyped up SOOO much that it would never live up to it.

Whne we first heard of it, it was big news. Then the graphics made it bigger. And we seem to think "aha we are on to a winner".

But then it came out and it wasnt that good for the following reasons:

Camera angles = they were mostly good but some times you wished it would be in a diffrent place, but it did add to the "scare" factor.

Controls = well the GC controller hasnt impressed me that much, the whole 2 3d sticks and the Zbutton. But the sticks i will get used to, i hope. Just wish the z button was placed else where, or maybe down the back like on the xbox controller.

Story line = ok im not moaning as some of it has changed but it would be nice to have a brand new one.

old problems = ok not problems, but they could be better, e.g. holding items,running back and forth to the box.

Becuase of this i think the game should be 8 or 9/10

How to make things better:

Get resi evil zero
new story line, dropping weapons and changing character etc.

This game will be 9/10 for sure, if not 10/10.

Do you even understand how to play a game like Resident Evil. The idea is to use your head and take out Zombies only when needed. Also the Gamecube has a better controller than the PS2 and if you have completed RE2 then you will know aboutthe amount of ammo you have left over at the end. On this Resident Evil you have to use your brain, which might be dificult for you. It adds a new fear to the ggame. At the moment i am running around on Normal difficulty with only 15 berretta shots left but do you see me being a mardy blob and saying i will take it back. NO
