The goal is simple…survive and escape the city. Depending on who you choose to play as, you’ll be guiding them from this point. The pair are then separated by a tanker crashing and exploding (the driver having been bitten) and forced to make their way separately to the station. Once there, they discover the city has fallen to the walking dead and a loudspeaker broadcast tells them to go to the police station for safety. As well as being terrifying, they are very difficult to put down and anymore then one coming at you is a problem.Ĭapcom have done the impossible and made the zombie something to fear again.Ĭlaire and Leon team up to escape, stealing a police car and driving into the city. Here we experience one of the biggest changes in this remake and that is the threat of the zombie. The pair meet at a gas station (one of many new segments included here) and get attacked by zombies. He is a rookie cop due to start work at the Racoon Police Department and she is there to find her brother who has gone missing.
Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield (sister of Chris Redfield) both arrive in Raccoon City for different reasons. A pharmaceutical company, secretly they make bioweapons to sell and the mansion incident was just the beginning. It is set in Racoon City, a bustling metropolis home to the Umbrella Corporation.
It’s an accomplished piece of gaming with only a few minor negative points but we’ll get to those later.įor those unaware, Resident Evil 2 picks up some time later after the events that befell the S.T.A.R.S team in the mansion. Not just visually but gameplay wise as well. The remake of Resident Evil 2 is better than the original. In fact Capcom can proudly say that they have accomplished something many would have thought was impossible. So the big question is…does Resident Evil 2 live up to the hype? It’s been a very long time since Resident Evil was this scary and it’s great to see the hunger for survival horror is still there.
Thankfully the team behind this release took what was learned from the excellent Resident Evil 7, namely the horror elements and put it to great use. However, considering Capcom’s track record the years before Resident Evil 7, you can’t blame people for being wary. When this remake of Resident Evil 2 was announced, the gaming world rejoiced. For good reason too, it took the formula laid out in the first game and improved upon it in almost every way. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation and later the N64 and Dreamcast, Resident Evil 2 is often cited as many fans of the series’ favourite. Alongside the fabled Final Fantasy 7 remake, Resident Evil 2 has been one of the most hotly anticipated releases for a while.
