Chilling, atmospheric and utterly terrifying!
Though the game has been around for years I've never taken interest in Resident Evil until recently. I got the game for dirt cheap and was surprised how good it is. I saw my cousin play the old Playstation version years ago and was unimpressed but for the Gamecube the graphics have been re-rendered to absolute lifelike perfection. The shadows, the sound, the ambiance and those thunderclaps...all highly, highly realistic. Play this with your Gamecube hooked up to your home theatre. And like me, you'll totally jump out of your skin at the scary parts (many of them).
My main hint is conserve your ammo. If you see a zombie, put it down right away (no funny stuff) and burn it. Take care of them one at a time. And if you don't burn them they will soon come back as Crimson Heads-faster, deadlier, scarier.
Much like the Myst series, Resident Evil is one of those games where you have to keep your eyes and ears open. Clues and puzzle pieces are scattered all over the place and you need to pay attention.
Don't be put off by the size of the mansion. After a short while it's easy to get your bearing and find your way through rather easily. Though I will be honest with the fact I did not understand most of the story. I have no idea what Trevor's diary from 1968 had to do with the plot and I really didn't get why Umbrella would create the T-Virus. I know there are various ways to finish and complete the game though. Especially seeing as how there are many clips during the end credits that did not happen in my game play (I did it in just over 8 hours). If you finish it in certain time frames the next one is always different somehow. I only managed to unlock a new outfit for Chris. Wow!
My only gripe is about those boring 'door opening' cut scenes. They really got on my nerves. Still, it's a chilling game that will freak you out if you play alone in the dark. Well worth the time and money.

"You have once again entered...the world of survival horror..."
The remake of "Resident Evil" for the Gamecube is a top remake. This is one of the reasons that I purchased a Gamecube.
The graphics are superb, the atmosphere is quite chilling, the gameplay is top notch. There are new areas, enemies, puzzles and gameplay features. The original music is still here with a slightly remixed focus; from the un-nerving mansion corridor tunes to the soft and soothing "Save Room" theme and the delicate "Sigh of Relief".
GRAPHICS - 10/10
Easily the best graphics I have seen on the Gamecube - almost real in parts. Superb shades and lighting. Even better than Resident Evil 4 in my opinion.
CONTROLS - 7.5/10
A little bit fiddly at first but you soon get adapted to them in 30 minutes or so.
LENGTH - 7.5/10
A decent length. First playthrough it will probably take about 5-8 hours to complete depending on how good you are.
I just wish is was a few hours longer than was it is. First time around it will take some beating but after you have completed it you will know the specific routes, item locations etc.
If only there was a piece of programming within the game that randomised all item & enemy locations every time you played to allow for a new challenge.
FEAR FACTOR - 8.5/10
I'll admit that when I first played on this I was a bit nervous going around corners and walking past those "crimson heads" as well as other things.
The camera angles are perfectly placed in that you can't really see where you are going at times and it makes you slightly nervous not knowing what is ahead. As well as that, the graphics and lighting effects make the game superbly eerie with dark hallways and gloomy shadowy rooms. There are also a few other surprises and shocks in the game that just might just make you jump...
SOUND & MUSIC - 9/10
The music from the original is all here but is slightly different and remixed. Excellent for those nostalgic memories from the original.
REPLAY VALUE - 8/10
Extras can be unlocked depending on how you complete the game. These will have you replaying over and over again for some time.
OVERALL - 9.5/10
A superb remake. Great to re-visit the original RE with updated graphics and gameplay.
Here's me hoping for another Resident Evil remake for the PS3 or Wii in the future.

The best game ever made...
Resident Evil for the Gamecube is a remake of the original that hit the Playstation in 1996.This game is a completely different game,it is alot harder and it has alot more areas.The graphics are revolutionary,the gameplay is excellent and the control is pretty good.Resident Evil has new updated graphics that are so far the best out there,you can see every little detail on the characters' clothing,and the lighting and fire effects are amazing.This one also has better sound effects,the gun shots sound more realistic,and the zombies/enemies sound more disturbing.The game is also very interactive,for example,you can burn zombies when they're on the floor,stab them in the head,shove grenades in they're throat,and shock them.The games controlling in my opinion is the same,the control scheme is the same as the previous games,the joystick is a little to sensitive,but it cant effect your gameplay.Capcom has completely remade Resident Evil,it has some new bosses,more areas,more items,different puzzles,and I think a new gun.From What I have heard,Resident Evil has lots more replay value,it has 10 different endings,and invisible enemy mode.The best part of this game is indeed the fun factor.You can now stab zombies in the head,shock them with a tazer,and put grenades down they're throat.The blood effects are more realistic,when you shoot a zombie,the blood will go on the carpets and soak into it,and when you stomp on zombies heads,blood splatters all over the floor.Really,Resident Evil is so far the best game on the Gamecube right now. Graphics:10/10 ; Control:10/10 ; Gameplay:10/10 ; Fun factor:10/10. Resident Evil is a great game that delivers everything you could possibly want in a game.10 out of 10.

An updated classic of excellence
The original Resident Evil for Playstation in 1996 was, and still remains classic. Now, pretty much every aspect of the old game has been updated, redone and improved into this very well-made and highly entertaining game.
The graphics are some of the best out there for GameCube, mainly because of the static camera angles (which are annoying to some, but helps keep the scare factor and dark atmosphere). Different kinds of shadows dance along the walls, water drips onto the ground, and characters move both fluidly and realistically.
The gameplay has been improved also; there is now these so-called "defense items", which can prove to be very useful in deadly situations. The controls remain mainly the same, for the better, or for the worse. There are also different types of puzzles in the game, some of which will have you thinking for a while. It's also a pretty long game. It took me about 10 hours to complete the first time through.
If you played the original Resident Evil back in '96 and are curious about this game, don't hesitate to buy it just because "you've already seen it". The experience is totally different, with plenty of new rooms added, some edited, and a plethora of all-new cutscenes and scenarios.
In conclusion, it is a very good game, including both suspense and nerve-wrecking terror all in one game. If you played the original and want to relive the adventure starring Chris and Jill, or if you simply like horror games, this is the one to buy. Several different unlockable weapons and game modes will keep you playing for a very long time.

A Meticulous, Memorable and Iconic Experience
2002's Resident Evil, a remake of the classic 1996 game, was headed by Shinji Mikami with the goal of replacing the original and realising his true vision for the story and game. And there's no doubt he succeeded.
Having never played the original, this leaves me with no desire to do so after experiencing Mikami's true vision for entering the survival horror. The graphics and visuals are stunning and have a slick, clean and classy flare to them. The direction is at times scary, other times exciting, and sometimes just plain cool. The entire opening cutscene sets the stage perfectly for an atmospheric horror with Hollywood-influences, having expert lighting, sound-design, pacing and camerawork.
The central characters also have an endearing goodness about them which makes them instantly likeable, while the unfolding mystery of Spencer Mansion is constantly engaging.
My first play through as Jill Valentine (which took about 18 hours), was a nerve-wracking and intense experience. Turning every corner and entering every new room was an effectively scary thing. Throughout the run, there is also a consistent amount of new enemies and creepily cool bosses thrown into the mix that kept me on edge. At times, it was hard to see where this was all leading, but the mystery of the Mansion and finding out what would happen next kept me going. As soon as I concluded I felt an urge to play it all again. I wanted to see what the game was like now knowing what it had in store.
And it was on my second playthrough, as Chris Redfield (which took around 10 hours), that the experience truly came together for me. It perfectly clicked as to why there were two playable character experiences in the first place. Knowing what was coming, I was truly able to appreciate how seamlessly the puzzles, discovery and pacing all came together. And it was rewardingly fun to prepare myself for each coming obstacle and overcome the horror. Not to mention, the differences in characters and story here and there that help make it feel like a fresh experience.
It's safe to say this game has a timeless balance of horror, tension, mystery and excitement that make it a truly fulfilling and memorable game. Not to mention a nice ray of hope and heart with its primary characters. Resident Evil deserves its place as a classic video game.

The original is back with
A Love Letter from Capcom
I would like to point out how much I adore Capcom for giving the players a thing not many other companies have, a totally re-rendered ultimate version of the original RE, with a lot of added content.
The graphics are some of the best the Gamecube has to offer, boasting chilling life-like fog, intensely detailed backgrounds and nerve-shattering enemies. And the sound is absolutely stunning, with different sounds of footsteps for just about every surface, different howls for every enemy and very realistic sounds of thunder, that really set the mood for any horror game.
Some players might be turned off by the constant running around and little action, but that makes it all the more terrifying when the action gets going. Ammunition is low, there are never enough health kits and one is constantly pushed into narrow hallways.
RE is a tough game, with an emphasis on the "survive" part of horror games. It'll probably take you from 20-25 hours to complete, but those hours will be as nerve-wrecking, mind- shattering and tension-fueled as any other horror game on the market today.
In all, RE has the same style of gameplay as presented in the original, so the haters should stay away, but the fans are in for one heck of a thrill ride.

A horror classic that may still be unsurpassed
A brilliant remake!
In the city of Raccoon City, strange murders have occurred with reports of families and some folks getting eaten by creatures. The Raccoon Police City department sends out the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, Barry Burton and formerly Joseph Frost are sent to investigate a large mansion in the outskirts of the city. But what they don't know is that inside the place there's dangers galore with zombies, giant snakes and other weird monsters just waiting to have their blood as they must complete their investigation of what is behind the weird killings and the creatures.
A wonderful and absolutely brilliant remake that manages to be better then the original! it stays clear of the cheesy dialog that some fans of the series thought the original game's dialog was stiff that it needed to be improvised but you still can play as either Jill or Chris. It also improves on the original's live-action opening with actors who are just plain bad. The graphics and game-play are really outstanding as it gives us a bigger look at the Mansion and even some brand new puzzles. Here in this new version there's even a Nemesis-esquire female creature named Lisa whom is a true abomination of a creature beyond anything in your nightmares.
The music score for this remake is terrific as it used a remixed version of the original soundtrack score. The game also uses new plot element that enhances the original in every way and it's one hell of a scary and gory video game that will scare the crap out of you.
This game is a solid winner all the ways! strongly a must play.

Best remake of one of the best games in the series.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Resident Evil remake delivers a faithful adaptations of the original game. I played this on the GameCube and loved every minute of it. There are some new additions like new areas to explore in the mansion. Every enemy like zombies. Undead dogs. Hunters. Chimera. And the tyrant are all great. There is a new thing if you don't burn the dead bodies after you killed a zombie. It will rise again in another time and the zombie will be a lot of faster. Which was scary and intense. The controls are great. The graphics are amazing. I loved every detail of it. One issue I did have with the game is the music score. It was very quiet and the music score was set to a low volume or kept to the shadows with this game. I loved the original music score that was in the old game. And really missed it in this remake.

An amazing experience, if not an extremely difficult one.
Let me start by saying that anyone who is new to the series should NOT start here. I did, and I got nowhere the first time I played. To me, this game was too difficult, some parts got me really frustrated and after a short time I eventually decided to give it up. After a while I played the original game, which I really enjoyed, then after that I played Resident Evil's 2, 4 and 0 (in that order). Both were fantastic and relatively easy. So, after playing these, I finally decided to go back to REmake. When I did, it was so much easier for me. I realised that I needed to conserve my ammo, and also not waste ink ribbons. I also realised that even though I'd already played four of the other games, this was still the most difficult. I did get through it eventually however.
Anyway, on a more positive note, the game itself is amazing. The graphics are stunning, the storyline is fantastic and the game is actually terrifying. This is the only Resident Evil game that has truly scared me. The atmosphere is much scarier than other games plus the fact that it is a lot more difficult makes things even creepier. Ink ribbons are very limited, as is ammo, and this game just has more of a 'survival horror' feel to it than 2,4,0 and even the original had. Let's face it - the original was far from frightening. Good as it may have been, the voice acting made it seem like some sort of parody. With this game comes fresh new voice actors that get the job done (better than last time, anyway) also the main characters, Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, are two of the best characters in Resident Evil history. I have only managed to complete Jill's scenario, but I am currently trying to play through Chris', though like before it is still very difficult.
Another thing about this game is the fact that they changed a lot of stuff from the original. Now, even the normal zombies are considerably faster than before, and when you shoot some, they come back later as 'Crimson Heads' which can be very annoying if you're not ready for them. These zombies have the ability to run faster and claw you. However, one thing that makes this game better than the original is the fact that the graphics are much, MUCH better, as is the voice acting, but also Lisa Trevor finally makes an appearance after being referenced in the original. Lisa is by far the most terrifying creature I have ever encountered in a Resident Evil game. There's just so much to love about this game, and yet the fact remains that it is a very difficult game. Anyone who thought this game was easy, I seriously commend you. I can honestly say that it has never taken me so long to finish a video game as it did for me to finish this one.
However, all that aside, the game is brilliant. Any fan of Resident Evil who has at least completed another couple of games in the series should check this one out. But remember, if you're new to the series, PLEASE don't start here. Only if you're the best at playing video games should you start here.
8/10

The perfect remake.
It's a shame this isn't how all the remakes were done. Perfection. Taking everything from the original and improving it and not only that they added more. This is by far the best Resident Evil in the series. It respects its source material.
Resident evil 2 remake sadly couldn't live up to its original.
Resident evil 3 remake was just a big mistake.

The game that got me into the Resident Evil series.
When I first heard of Resident Evil, my mom would not let me play it because I was not old enough to. When I turned 20, I wanted to try it out, and my mom said, "Okay, go ahead, but you won't like it."
Instead, I was wrong about not liking it. The minute I started playing the game, I was instantly hooked to it. When I started playing the beginning of it, It felt so intense, that the zombie scene when you first encountered a zombie had me put in a shock.
I was always afraid because I would be attacked if I was in a safe room in the game and all you have to do is survive. That's the main goal of this game.
This game is an excellent game you want to play. I have a Nintendo Wii and this game should be added to my collection. Play Resident Evil, period.

Resident Evil
It's great game , and one of the best Resident Evil game , I didn't play the original Resident Evil and I was wary about the fixed camera But I really like this game.
The best Resident Evil!
The game is simply amazing, a perfect Survival Horror, with an improved story, beautiful graphics, new monsters and more than 8 different endings. Capcom made a perfect Resident Evil.

New Packaging Same Product: Still Bone Chilling
Too Much Waiting Time and Backtracking
Resident evil remake is a very boring game in my opinion. Most of the game is just spent walking through a million doors, in which EACH ONE has a 5 second waiting time. Without a walkthrough telling you what to do, you will probably be lost because there is a lot of backtracking. The sound and atmosphere however is excellent, and I love the aesthetic of the mansion. The gameplay is also really simple, just shooting with no variety. I was interested to learn more about the story, but the gameplay is really too slow and mundane for my liking.
Capcom makes it big, again!
"Resident Evil " (Bio Hazzard) is one of the main reason that I'm interested in Nintendo GameCube and I must say this game really makes me shiver. For those of you who remembers "Resident Evil" on the Playstation there is much new stuff to explore in this version of the game, new rooms, new items, new graphics, new sound effect & of course new scary angels. I really recommend this game for a horror-game experience that will make you shiver way past bedtime.
Definitely one of the best games ever made.
This game is so absorbing and well-crafted I felt like I was reading a book or watching a great movie. The graphics are astounding, as good as the Final Fantasy film, and the voice acting is very good. The cut scenes are awesome; the game makers really did a good job with pacing and editing. The script and dialogue are good as well, and the various 'documents' and 'journals' you pick up along the way actually add to the story line. It's as gripping as any really good sci-fi/horror film.
However, my favorite thing about the game is the intangible feeling of dread that permeates the whole thing. My heart raced and I felt intense feelings of fear for sustained periods of time while playing this game! That's weird to me. Oh sure, I'll get so into a game that when I crash or fall off a ledge I'll spasm involuntarily and emit a shriek, but never have I felt like this. Almost every night I played this game I had nightmares about being a soldier trying to fight zombies. I don't know if that sounds like 'fun' to you, but if it does then make sure you play the game with all the lights off, late at night.
I feel sad now that it's over. I feel like I made some real friends in that horrible mansion, down in the trenches wondering "What's around that corner? Will I see my pal Barry, will I pick up a green herb and be healed, will I get jumped on by an evil doggie, or will I get a face full of zombie teeth?" That's just what I said.
In closing, I want to live in the dirty zombie-filled laboratory and I want to make a small fort out of upturned wheelchairs, and I want to skitter and crawl through the ventilation ducts and fight zombies and monsters and save my friends and shoot giant spiders with a grenade launcher.
*sigh*
