I bought this for my son. He said it was the best game he has ever played. The graphics are amazing and you feel as if you are actually in the game his words not mine.

Capcom's remake of their 1998 survival horror classic is one of the best-looking games of the year, but how does it all play out

Superb visuals and tense combat manage to have their cake and eat it in terms of horror atmosphere and straight action; Excellent level design and understated tactical elements

The first half is definitely better than the second; and very similar to the first game; but that's more the fault of the original design than the remake

Disclaimer : Resident Evil 4 is in my top three games of all time. It's also still the best Resident Evil game ever released. I also played through -- multiple times -- Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil 1 (GameCube remake).

I remember being nine-years-old and seeing Resident Evil 2 among the new releases at Wal-Mart. I don't know exactly what drew me to it, as I had never played a horror game before. Something inside of me just knew I had to have it.

Gorgeous graphics; Faithful to the original while incorporating enough changes to keep longtime series fans on their toes; Excellent pacing throughout; Perfectly captures the survival horror feel

Resident Evil 2 begins as Raccoon City continues to endure an onslaught of terror and fear as a mysterious, flesh-eating virus spreads into the town that turns everyone it infects into zombies.

This game is a perfect example how a remake should be done. If you're a fan of the series, or a horror fan period, I'd highly recommend. Controls great, graphics are amazing, atmosphere is awesome. Couldn't be happier.

Full disclosure – the original Resident Evil 2 is my favorite game of all time. I remember it like it was yesterday; scouring the local newsagents for any magazine that had a morsel of news as the release date crept ever closer.

There's an art to remaking a classic. The trick is to stay true to the original, without simply rehashing the same thing; to update with new ideas, without straying too far from what made it great in the first place.

Classic Resident Evil horror; Incredible visuals; Enemy variety; Difficult for all the right reasons

I can't play it when I'm at work

Don't waste time reading this. It's awesome, go buy it. Been a fan since the very first on ps1 in the 90's, and although the series lost its way a bit, if this is capcom hitting its stride again (and with resident evil 3 remake already rumoured), this is the (re)start of something very special.

Just w0w.
