Resident Evil for the PSX more or less shares responsibility with Shining Force and Final Fantasy VII for getting me hopelessly hooked on videogames in my early teens. However the laughable attempt to weave a gripping story through B-movie style dialogue was hard to take seriously, even back then. Sadly in this visually stunning remaking, the lousy narrative crushes the tension and seriousness of RE like a giant radioactive turtle would an Ice Cream Truck.
If youre a die hard resident evil fan, youve probably bought it, completed it, enjoyed/ignored the horrific dialogue and voice acting and bought the T-shirt. If youre looking for some classic horror to revive on your Wii, you could do a lot worse than Resident Evil (GC), but dont get your hopes up if youre looking for something with a bit of oomph in terms of narrative.
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 31Jul2008 | | | in all fairness, i dont own this game, i borrowed it from a friend. i dont know much about it , and i only played it for about 2 hours, and did nt even get off the first level on the train, but honestly, the game is just terrible.
1. the game is TOOO SLOW omg whenever you want to go upstairs /downstairs or through doors, it shows u a picture of a guy opening a door, and it takes AGES for it to load.
2. the guns i got were just rubbish, and the storyline did nt make much sence.
3. I COULD NT SEE WHAT I WAS SHOOTING AT, AND I COULD NT SEE WHERE I WAS SHOOTING AT. ITS A 3RD PERSON SHOOTERS, AND IT IS DREADFUL
if you want to buy this because you are a RE maniac, then fine go for it , because ive heard the storyline is good (regardless of what i have said). but if you are just buying it for a good shooter game, DO NOT BUY THIS
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 19Dec2007 | | | I first heard about the Resident Evil series years ago, the backstory fascinated me and when the gamecube REmake came out I finally got my chance to play the series. What a stunning introduction it was.
Not only does the Resident Evil series have such an immersive and interesting backstory to it - it also combines that with great and intense gameplay.
The sheer terror of, say, a re-animated Crimson Head sprinting after you or the shuffling, shambolic monstrosity that is Lisa Trevor slowly coming towards you - has not been matched for me in any of the other resident evil games Ive played. Theres also a hefty array of weaponry to rely upon, as well as the usual puzzles and items.
Graphically the game is simply amazing, having seen screens of the PS2 version the improvement is extremely marked. The visuals of the mansion, with the sometimes confusing, but atmospheric, camera angles, and the sheer levels of detail that have been attended to are stunning.
One, minor, gripe for me would be the control system, the movement is a bit wooden and I was slightly frustrated with the aiming possibilities of up, straight ahead, and the floor - remedied in Resident Evil 4 - but this is hardly enough to detract from an extremely well deserved 5 star rating.
Buy the game, you wont be disappointed!
