Terrific remake of a classic game. A lot of improvements were tackled for this one. Performance is fantastic, even better on current gen consoles (2022). Can't go wrong in picking this up, specially at a low price at BBY!

This resident evil 2 remake is truly awesome with better camera angles, graphics and original music. A must buy for any RE fan or zombie fan as well.

If you're in your 30's like I am, chances are you grew up playing the old Resident Evil games. They were amazing at the time, but if you try to play them nowadays, whoa boy...you're in for some struggles. It's not that they are bad, it's just that modern gaming has improved upon some of the 3D mechanics that these early games just didn't have a grasp on yet. So, when I read that Resident Evil 2 was being remade, my first question was, "what about the controls?" Suffice to say, I wasn't disappointed because the controls and overall gameplay has been completed revamped. Below is a quick bulleted review of the PROS and CONS of this release... PROS: - Incredible graphics. Totally overhauled (obviously since it's re-creating a PS1 game) and it looks beautiful. - Movement has been modernized. Gone are the tank controls of yesteryear, instead replaced with modern controls. - Immersive story with new cutscenes and a more believable tale with less hamfisted dialogue. - Like playing the original all over again, but for the very first time. CONS - This game is tough. It's the same game as before with the stalking enemies and the overall lack of ammo. Thankfully, there are difficulty levels. - Obtuse puzzles. This isn't really a pro or a con, but if you're not familiar with these types of games, you might need to utilize a guide. Overall - highly recommended and will probably be on some peoples Game of the Year Lists for 2019. If you've been itching for a new survival horror game, think about picking it up!
