Description
Resident Evil: Zero takes place before the events of
the original, so it's a prequel.
You take on the role as one of two characters; Rebecca Chambers, the Bravo team medic that was encountered in the first game, and Billy Coen, an ex-con being transported.
The game begins with a video of Bravo team flying overhead, en route to investigate a series of murders. Something happens, and the helicopter crashes. Everyone survives, but when they all start searching, they encounter an overturned military transport truck, with nothing but corpses inside. Rebecca Chambers, the youngest member of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, goes to investigate the Umbrella Company Luxury Train, which has mysteriously stalled in the middle of the woods. You now take control of Rebecca, and your journey begins.
RE:0 features an all-new storyline, which takes place before the events of the first game. You will learn some background information, as well as a wealth of new information.
The game also introduces what it calls a "partner zapping" system, which allows you to switch between Rebecca and Billy at any time. This feature must be used at times, as the game requires both characters to work together to solve some puzzles.
New to the game are a bunch of terrifying enemies, like the mutant centipede, new areas to explore, and the ability to drop items on the ground instead of having to find an item box.

Trivia
On March 9th, 2005, Capcom released
Biohazard Sound Chronicle - Best Track Box which features six soundtrack from Biohazard (aka Resident Evil) games with best track collection on each.
The game soundtracks included are:
Biohazard 2 (35 tracks)
Biohazard 3: Last Escape (42 tracks)
Biohazard: Code: Veronica X (46 tracks)
Biohazard (44 tracks)
Biohazard 0 (72 tracks)
Biohazard 4 (32 tracks)
As you can see, RE0 has the most tracks, but the thing is, all of the other game soundtracks are released as standalone (usually spanning on 2CDs, this is afterall, "the best collection" from each game) but there was never released a soundtrack for Biohazard Zero game, so this Limited Edition package is at the moment the only way to get a soundtrack for that game.
The price of this package is around $80 and there is only 3,000 pieces produced.
