Resident Evil 2: Dual Shock Version

If however you've never liked Resident Evil, this re-release is hardly going to change your mind. Of course, Code Veronica may well do so, but we reckon $50 is a little too pricey for an hour of sheer enjoyment [Ed's note: "We" do not reckon anything. Matt is obviously not a gamer.]. At the end of the day, what you're getting here is a lot of game, but if it's not your cup of tea, you'd be best to wait. Speaking on behalf of myself though, it should be clear to you by now that I've loved every minute of it. Afterall, it includes a taster of what could save the Dreamcast in Japan, which makes this package something very special indeed.

As ever, if you're a fan of the series, but you haven't actually bought Resident Evil 2, this is certainly the best version you can buy. All the pros and cons of the series are maintained here, and the new hardware doesn't do anything to add or detract from the game. Resident Evil 2 has always been a great game, and this is no exception. It's a great game to own, especially given its low retail price, but this version is not an essential purchase.

Resident Evil sera toujours Resident Evil : de la peur, de l’émotion, de l’intrigue, de l’investigation, on se prend au jeu comme on pourrait l’être dans un film d’épouvante, sauf qu’ici, le héros c’est le joueur. Là où le bas blesse, c’est au niveau de la technique : c’est du copier – coller de la version Playstation !
