You can control either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine. Chris is pumped so full of steroids, his manhood must be severely compromised, and seeing as he likes a challenge, he starts off with just a knife, whereas Jill is armed with a pistol although Chris does rescue her at choice intervals. Jill can also pick locks, which inevitably makes gameplay much easier. Kicking off in a deserted hallway, you begin by looking for your missing team member, and it isn't long before you come across your first zombie.
Killing them is one of the game's gory glories. The pistol does the job well enough, but the shotgun you find later will take a zombie's head clean off at close range.
The characters are superbly animated: zombies shuffle along with arms outstretched, while slavering dogs with gnashing teeth pounce through the air. The camera angles keep the atmosphere tense without being disorientating, and the neat cut-scenes ensure that the cheesy storyline oozes along nicely.
However, although the pre-rendered backdrops don't actually detract from the gameplay, they are a bit fuzzy, especially when set against the sharp 3D characters. We were also promised some groovy lighting effects, a promise that has been barely realised. There's a cracking good adventure to be had as well. Staying alive and exploring aside, there's always something to do, whether it's searching for keys and ammo, solving puzzles or shuffling items in your little satchel.
Alright, so the puzzles are fairly easy and the adventure pretty linear, but you don't really notice it. In fact, not being a hardcore adventuring fan, I found that the difficulty level was set just right. Sound-wise, the orchestral music is excellent. Ominous violins keep the heart pumping at a healthy bpm while the full cardiac arrest-inducing orchestral stabs should maintain regular bowel movement. Sounds licky so far, eh?
Well, I'm sorry to say there are a few nuggets at the bottom of the pan that just won't flush away. Yes, the graphics have been improved and the slow access times have been minimised, but the awful sequence where you're treated to a creaking 3D door when you enter a room hangs heavy very quickly. Not only that, but the inventory system is awkward and the developers really should have made more use of the mouse control and the Save Game feature common to the PC.
A bit more tweaking could have made this game a classic. It demands a hefty wedge of disk space for what it is, but that said, Resident Evil is generally a triumphant conversion of an excellent game. You won't be disappointed. The rating you see to your right is not a misprint and we haven't taken leave of our senses. The hype is real and the horror is indescribable: Resident Evil lives up to its advance word and emerges as one of the most amazing video games that we've ever come across.
This small space can't do the game justice. Everything about Resident Evil screams "classic". It's a challenging, brain-twisting, shock ride filled with sudden scares, fiendish puzzles, and more atmosphere than a dozen planets.
People will actually stop in their tracks and watch while you play this one, because it's better than most flicks. Be afraid, be very afraid. Last issue we hipped you to Capcom's upcoming blood and guts test Resident Evil. This month, we've gotten our hands on a newer version of the game that has more areas to explore, more characters to interact with, and more weapons to blow away zombies with, so we Just had to give you another glimpse of what we think is going to be one of the hottest games of Resident Evil takes place in and around a mysterious mansion that housed the headquarters of a secret government lab charged with the development of a top-secret new biological warfare device.
True to Murphy's Law, the worst possible thing has happened: total loss of contact with the facility. In the game, you take on the role of an operative sent by the government to investigate what went wrong. Upon arrival, you find the house deserted, and as you explore it, you discover that it has been overrun by an army of zombies, giant spiders, vicious frog mutants, and much, much worse. Using your wits and weapons you have to run the terrifying gauntlet of the mansion, it's sub-houses, a cemetery, and more to find out how to keep the horror from spreading to the outside world.
If you're lucky, you might even find the escape helicopter and get out of there with your sanity intact. The new version of Resident Evil includes a playable female character in addition to the first's male character. It also has a host of new rooms and outside locations to explore. In addition, graphic tricks--like the use of mirrors-- have been added to up the game's "wow-cool" factor. One of the most interesting new developments is the addition of an inventory screen.
It doesn't sound too exciting, but it looks great. The main reason it's so cool is the fact that whenever you select a weapon for your character to use, you can look at a 3-D modeled version of it at your leisure.
Keep in mind that this is still a far from complete version of the game, so it stands to reason that much will be changed before it hits the shelves. Keep reading VG so you can get the scoop. Departing from the familiar formula of fighting games, Capcom takes up temporary residence in the action 'hood. From the looks of Resident Evil, an intriguing third-person-perspective action game, Capcom's comfortable in its new digs.
Resident Evil has a variety of gameplay and eerie, detailed graphics that tempt you to look closer, but repel you when you get too close. Using shifting camera angles in a 3D environment, this action disc combines role-playing and puzzlesolving gameplay. You're sent to investigate a foreboding mansion where government scientists are conducting top-secret biotechnology experiments that stretch the limits of science. The scientists have mysteriously vanished, and contact with the outside world is cut off.
You have an assistant, but he's more hindrance than help, and you have a pistol, which isn't much firepower when you find out what you're up against. Through areas including the mansion, the garden, the tower, and a graveyard, you encounter vampiric zombies, giant spiders, and other mutant creatures. You must also avoid hidden traps, solve mind-bending puzzles, find critical items like maps, fire extinguishers, hammers, and medicine. Locating weapons like crossbows, bazookas, chainsaws, and shotguns increases your chances of survival long enough so you can uncover the scientists' fate and find the hidden helicopter to escape.
Resident Evil's rendered 3D backgrounds are heavily detailed, depicting shadows and light sources. The character moves amid multiple camera angles that heighten the suspense and assist you in your mission. The game employs minimal screen text, which forces you to explore your surroundings carefully and analyze all possibilities for clues. Not for the faint of heart, Resident Evil possesses the PlayStation with a spectacular round of murderous monster mayhem.
This terrifying tale leaves you quaking in your shoes, and its breathtaking graphics and riveting gameplay will lure you back time after time. It is, naturally, a dark and stormy night when your squad enters Raccoon Forest to investigate the disappearance of Bravo Team. Unnerving reports of families in the area being butchered and eaten had sparked Bravo's foray, but they never returned. Attacked almost instantly by monstrous dogs, you flee to a nearby mansion, where you must investigate the evil that resides within.
Inside the mansion, the action begins in earnest. Playing as either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, you explore your surroundings, searching for your missing companions and a way out.
A B-grade full-motion video intro and corny cinematics wrap the game with an ongoing story line that's mostly laughable, but they interfere little. Carefully blending challenging combat with brain-busting puzzles and exploration, the gameplay maintains a gripping pace. You fend off carnivorous zombies and gigantic snakes on the way to uncovering the clues you need to open the mansion's multitude of locked doors.
Less obvious puzzles, like using sheet music to play a tune on the piano and open a secret door, also crop up frequently. Some of it's downright scary-the first time the dogs leap through the window, you'll have to check your Calvins for yellow streaks.
Along the way, you'll find better weapons, including a shotgun, bazooka, and flamethrower. Other items, such as decorative shields and gems, play a role in the puzzles that grant you greater access into the house and its mysteries. Such intricate puzzle-solving and item collection definitely builds an RPG flair into Resident Evil, but action fans shouldn't turn tail and flee.
There's enough grisly zombie-bashing to sustain all but the most frenzied thumb-thumpers. The well-crafted gameplay, along with the incredibly long floors that you explore, add up to a phenomenally deep game. At first, successfully steering your character poses a serious challenge. With intensive practice, the unusual but effective controls become intuitive. You'll die a few frustrating deaths before you master the learning curve, though. Shooting and fighting, however, handle without a hitch, and managing your inventory is a simple process.
If you could boot out the monsters, this surreal mansion would be your dream home. As you pass through stately dining rooms and hallways lined with suits of armor, every detail of the rendered 3D environment is lavishly portrayed in bright, gorgeous colors. Remarkable texture mapping covers every wall with beautiful wallpaper and paintings. Likewise, the sprites move with lifelike fluidity as they clamber up stairs and slam new clips into their guns.
The unique perspectives give you a different angle on each new area, which creates intriguing variety despite the times where you get stuck in an out-of-the-way corner. The load time between rooms, however, can occasionally try your patience, but Capcom's pushing the PlayStation hard. Beautiful sounds accompany every element of Resident Evil. The dialogue comes through with crystalline clarity, and the awesome music ranges perfectly from spooky to peaceful, depending on what's happening.
Best of all, the excellent effects breathe impressive realism into every room. Zombies groan with hair-raising horror, spent rounds clatter to the floor, and your footfalls change as you move from marble to carpet. Long the lord of Street Fighter, Capcom's clearly taking a new tack with this killer game, and the results are outstanding. Resident Evil stands tall as a topnotch second-generation PlayStation game that's well worth the green.
The original Resident Evil paved the way for the horror genre as it entered the world of 3D games. In fact, it's the game that coined the term "survival horror". Mostly due in part to its intense scenarios and limited player resources, the game gets a reputation for being challenging.
The story is simple enough; a group of elite special agents search for some missing team members in the woods, and eventually stumble upon a large and ominous mansion. While searching the mansion, the team comes across grotesquely reanimated, and must survive the night.
At its core, Resident Evil is a puzzle and exploration game with plenty of scares to boot. You may have cacked your shreddies enough previously playing it on the PlayStation. Apologies, however that is how it is. Exercise over. So while we scratch at the dividers hanging tight for the PC spin-off, we must simply continue ahead with the principal ghastliness experience. The riddles are adequately basic, and the blood-doused designs are amazing.
The music truly adds to the poo them up factor, and the whole mind-set of the game is sufficiently unnerving to stop you playing when it gets dull outside except if you extravagant having bad dreams , and adequately messy to permit the odd snigger to pass your slobbering lips. On the drawback, the consolestyle save highlight and stock framework is somewhat aggravating. Considerably more disturbing is the insignificant squeaking entryway cut-scene that has been slipped into each area change.
