Resident Evil: Code: Veronica X

If you're one of the Resident Evil faithful that fell to the wayside during its Dreamcast fling, rejoice! The mothership has returned home, and it's time to once more nearly crap your pants.

Returning to its roots, the finest chapter within the immensely popular Resident Evil franchise is now available on a PlayStation console. While a simple port would have been more than sufficient, Capcom and executive producer Shinji Mikami have enhanced the project through the implementation of additional footage. Moreover, Capcom has also included a lengthy playable demo of Mikami’s next project, Devil May Cry.

Luckily, some people were never able to play the scariest in the series. Me, being one of them, am having a blast. This game's out there for those of you who have never played the Dreamcast version, or for those of you looking to play the new Devil May Cry demo; which happens to be quite a fun time. Either way, survival/horror fans of the RE series should definitely give this title a try. And if you really are intending on giving the game a try, be sure to stock up on a couple packages of light bulbs while you're at it. Frankly, I have never been as scared from a Resident Evil title before.

In the end those who've patiently waited for a PS2 Resident Evil title can rejoice with Code Veronica X, as a stand alone director's-cut the game is great, as a total package, which includes the Devil May Cry demo, this baby is worth every penny. Resident Evil Code: Veronica may not have the best PS2 visuals around but the package is pretty overall, the gameplay can get complex at times and may deem to be frustrating but nonetheless this challenge ads to the value of the game. The PS2 version also features 10 extra minutes of never before seen CG footage such as an all new intro, and even though the controls are the same as they've been forever, RE fans will over look the flaw and enjoy Resident Evil Code: Veronica X.

Har man inte redan spelat Resident Evil: Code Veronica är detta den bästa versionen att hugga in på. Om ma ndäremot redan tidigare har gett sig i kast med originalet bör man nog dock ta sig en allvarlig funderare på om inte Silent Hill 2 är ett bättre val än Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.

Un très bon titre sur PS2 même s'il n'apporte rien à la version Dreamcast. C'est en revanche l'occasion rêvée de le découvrir pour les joueurs qui ne l'auraient déjà fait tant l'atmosphère de ce titre nous plonge au coeur d'une aventure palpitante et à l'action rythmée.
