Full review
Resident Evil 2 is very much like an interactive movie. It features excellent graphics and animations, and the sound will screw with your head worse than ANY David Lynch movie.
In Resident Evil 2, you find yourself in a city filled with Zombies. With a small arsenal of weapons, you must fight off the attacking flesh-eaters and uncover the mystery as to how everyone ended up undead. I believe that a movie is being made out of this game, and it should be wonderful. Lots of gore and violence. Woo hoo!
This game works by offering different camera angles depending on where you are in the room. Each camera is placed in order to maximize your line of sight, and to give you a better shot at the stuff that will jump out at you...and they DO jump out at you! One particular scene towards the beginning features a zombie jumping through a window. The sound of the glass breaking, combined with the moaning, will give you the chills. If you have a surround sound system, this game will definitely take advantage of it.
The gameplay is excellent, and only takes a little while to get used to. What am I doing talking about this so much? Go rent or buy this game NOW! It will take you days to complete the game, even with a walkthrough, so you will definitely get your money's worth out of it.
