Game Overview

You are Special Tactics and Rescue Squad. Your mission: investigate the ominous mansion at the core of the horrific disaster. An entirely new gameplay experience spanning 2 discs. The most terrifying, realistic video game ever created.

The Bottom Line

Players once again slip into the roles of Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine in this enhanced remake of the granddaddy of survival games. The game features beautiful, pre-rendered backdrops that animate realistically and mingle with real-time visual effects, a deadly arsenal of weapons, tons of nasty creatures, and 10 different endings.

The Raccoon City Police Department doesn't know what happened to the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) team it sent out to investigate the Arclay Mountain area on the outskirts of the city, where a number of people have recently gone missing. The unit's helicopter seems to have crashed in the woods, and it hasn't received any contact from the squad since. The department decides to dispatch another S.T.A.R.S. unit, the Alpha team, to check things out. But something goes terribly wrong.

With the exception of the dated control scheme, Capcom has nearly perfected its craft and created the best Resident Evil ever.

If you've never played RE before, the remake will scare you to death. And if you have played through it before, it still will scare you to death! Maybe not as much, but you will jump out of your seat at least once -- I guarantee it.

The prettiest, most atmospheric and all-around scariest game we've ever played.
