Resident Evil 2 (Game Cube, 2003)

This game, much like Resident Evil 3, is just terrible. First of all, it's just a straight up duplicate of the version that was originally released on PlayStation - what does that mean? It means that the graphics, sound, animations and controls are completely and utterly disappointing for this game. Fans who got to play the remake of the original Resident Evil, along with the GameCube only Resident Evil Zero, were treated to amazingly long games, with great plots, great presentation and virtually no flaws. So why would Capcom stoop so low as to just reissue the second and third titles without updating them to the next level of consoling gaming, adding some new features or at least giving something to differentiate this between the original PS game...

Honestly, this game is so short, poorly executed and poorly written that it's not worth your time. You can skip Resident Evil 2 and 3 and it won't make an ounce of difference. Trust me when I say that you're not missing much of anything when you skip this game - the monsters aren't anything worth blinking at, there's no true boss battles worth playing for and you're going to hate watching your character move like a robot. After giving us smash face titles like RE and Zero, there's no excuse for this recycled garbage. You will be bored, you will be regretting spending your money and you will be wasting your time. My suggestion....download this game as a ROM for an emulator - but then again, it's not even worth doing THAT for this lousy game. Resident Evil 2 and 3 leave much to be desired because they give you nothing to work with.
