Fun:
Resident Evil 2 is among the elite of the best video games ever made. When this game came out it was a revolution and looked amazing. A zombie game set in a whole city (or at least part of it). This was a bigger, better, badder version of the original. This was survival horror at it's very best.
The game starts out fast past and you are instantly thrown into the mix with a handful of zombies and next to no weapons - from there, you knew it was going to be good! That was the good thing about RE2, it was fast paced and it was exciting. It also had the perfect blend between puzzles and action.
Another good aspect was the fact that it was almost too games, at the start you pick one of two characters and then play through their `A' mission, once completed, you move over to the other character and play through their `B' mission that links up to the game. Then once you've completed the game - you can play it the other way round for a different experience. This gives you countless things to do and will keep you entertained for ages.
The game was also big with plenty of things to keep you entertained and it contained a great story and brilliant cinematics. The story is also a plus point and this is one of the only games that I have played that makes you really care about what will happen to the characters and when some of them don't make it - it's sad.
This is one of the games that you should play before you die as it hasn't really been beaten (not even by one of the later Resident Evil games), a true masterpiece of gaming!

Resident Evil 2 is just like a George A Romero zombie flick from the late sixties, full of the living dead bursting through windows, chasing after you with their innards exposed and clawing at your feet as you get the hell out of there. The gameplay is amazing with pre-rendered backgrounds, atmospheric soundtrack and a huge arsenal of zombie destroying weapons.
Raccoon city has been overrun by zombies due to an outbreak of bio weapons released from Umbrella, all this is unbeknown to rookie cop Leon Walker arriving in town for his first day on the job, during his journey he is attacked and as he flees the scene he bumps into Clare Redfield who has also being plunged into this nightmare town because of her desire to find her missing brother Chris a S.T.A.R.S member from the original Resident Evil. This is where your journey begins amidst flames and destruction, parted by a huge tanker the two characters must go their separate ways to the police station with the aim of survival their only goal at this moment.
On the way to survival there is an array of zombies, mutants and puzzles to conquer. All this is accompanied by an impressive arsenal of weapons, each character has their individual set ranging from an average handgun to a machine gun and rocket launcher. Variety is added to the weapons with different types of ammo and add-ons to be collected. The inventory system of the game is remarkable, you can see your characters heartbeat and condition with the small ECG in the corner, read files that you can collect and combine medicines and weapons making them stronger and more potent.
Atmosphere is added to the game in a clever little way, when you go to open a door the screen blackens and you get the door creaking open whilst the next section loads up, terrifying stuff if for example you've just been attacked by a swarm of fleshing eating crows. I also like the choice you have of being able to decide if you want to climb ladders or remove objects and also the fact that you can click on things and get a description this all adds to the thrill of the adventure and makes you feel involved.
Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic adventure game that once completed offers you new challenges in a second mission that is a lot tougher and has the addition of a new beast following you around your adventure. Once you overcome the extra challenges there are lots of little extras to be achieved such as costume changes and bigger, meaner weapons for you to enjoy, a great game with added replay value.

I am a huge resident evil fan and i wasn't disappointed with this title (in fact i rarely am with the resi series).This game takes place after you have destroyed the mansion in the arkley mountains and the virus is unleashed again in raccon city.You can choose to play as either leon kennedy or claire redfeild if you like hard modes choose leons and if you like it easy take claires.You must solve another mystery involving umbrella and a raccon city police department.This games intense gameplay that will keep you gripped,its scary soundtrack which builds the suspense and its great graphics which brings the horror to life will make you want to play over and over.I advise every one to complete with both characters because then you unlock another story involving a nemesis like monster which will make it a even bigger challenge to solve the umbrella cover ups.
