Description
Can you survive the horror? One of the most terrifying
survival horror games of all time, Resident Evil 2 comes to the Nintendo
GameCube system. In chapter one, the case of the disastrous T-virus
outbreak, a muta-genic toxin for use in biological weapons, was eventually
closed but the experiments were far from over. Now a new virus runs rampant!
Control the destiny of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield as their nightmare
begins when a biotech terror unleashes itself in Raccoon City. If the
suspense doesn't kill you, something else will. Game features 2 separate
adventures: play as Leon or Claire in an all out struggle for survival;
loaded with hidden items and vital information about the Resident Evil saga;
adjust the intensity of the game according to player's skill and experience.
Review
With a total of 4 different possible scenarios as Leon and
Claire, 2 minigames involving a soldier and a piece of tofu, loads of replay
value, some of the scariest moments you'll ever witness in a videogame,
there's nothing to dislike about Resident Evil 2. Well, maybe the dated
graphics.
But everything else makes up for it. You start the game as
Leon or Claire. Depending on who you choose and what you do, you will
slightly alter the story when you finish the game as the second character,
ultimately making for 4 total ways to play the game, and 4 *slightly*
different endings in total.
RE2 has some of the scariest monsters you will ever
encounter, including the Licker, in his first (and only- so far) appearance
in a standard RE game. And who can forget the infamous mirror scene... oh,
you haven't played it before? Well what are you waiting for?
The Gamecube version has sharper resolution, however
everything else about the game remains untouched (unlike Capcom's complete
makeover of the original Resident Evil for Gamecube). So if you already own
RE2 for Playstation, Nintendo 64 or Dreamcast, there's not much new here...
but if you've never played it before, you have no excuse for not getting
it... NOW!
Resident Evil 2... If the suspense doesn't kill you,
something else will.
