  • I beat Resident Evil (remake) for GC, man, that was excellent. I loved the original when I played it in 1997, but I can never play that one again. Every change they made was excellent, the graphics completely blow you away and MASSIVELY increase the atmos

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'll definately get the RE3 port. I own RE2 already and I'm not sure if I want to re-buy it, but for $20 I might. Same with Code Veronica - never played much of it on DC...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>That's the only RE title I couldn't finish, it was also probably my favorite even though it did give me a massive headache. (I think I like the remake better now though, it's much more atmospheric than any of the others)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>When i played RE2, I thought it was a big disappointment from the first. Just don't care for it very much at all. RE3 was better though. Haven't played Veronica yet, gotta try that one</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I think it only sold below expectations in Japan, and I wouldn't say it was because of the difficulty. My guess is that too many people perceived it as being essentially the same thing as the original (which it isn't, really, but, oh, well).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I wouldn't say 400K+ is horribly (though their goal was 480K or something), and it's not as hard as Code Veronica if you know what you're doing. I'll admit, it took me weeks before I could even get past the first 15 minutes or so (that first Zombie killed me like 4 or 5 times...</div>
