Resident evil on the Nintendo Gamecube is a remake version of Resident evil on the Playstation 1. This game scares the hell out of people, as the cinematic movies is almost lifelike. With strong weapons and lots of scary looking and creepy monsters. Unlike the playstation version you have got a few twists and game play changes that makes it different for people who have played the original. You take control of either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, both who are recruited by the S.T.A.R.S. Following the disappearance of their missing team mates, in the mountains of Raccoon city. The team is drawn into the mansion after been chased by murderous dogs. In this game you will go from room to room, fighting deadly monsters who is only after the meat on your body, you collect items, unlock doors with keys, solve mysterious puzzles, read files E.T.C.
If you don’t shoot the zombies heads off or burn them then they will come back as crimson heads, who are much faster, scarier looking and stronger. These monsters scare the living daylights out of me so I always tend to leave the zombies as they are or try to blasts there heads off or burn them.
If you were or already have this game I would advise you to conserve your ammunition and to dodge as many zombies as possible. This game does not allow you to kill every monster in the game as there is not enough ammo available.
There’s also a new feature in the game, ‘Defensive weapons’ for Chris it is ‘defensive knifes’ and ‘grenades’ for Jill its ‘Defensive knifes’ and a ‘stun gun’. you can also switch off the auto defensive weapons off in the options menu. Which is also good so you don’t waste any of them on enemies. Its much easier to dodge monsters on this game than on the ps1. You have a 360 degree turn which turns you around faster than just simply turning using the control stick. There’s also auto-Aim, so if your not a good shot, the character will automatically aim at the nearest enemy.
The lighting, background effects, shadows are seen in nearly every room. The audio in the game is greatly improved as well. You get different effects in almost every area. The zombies groaning and grunting sounds are louder so you can hear whether there in a room or not. The music has given a darker feel to the game. You’ll need to listen carefully for all the sound effects of the game, because you can’t see around corners. Listen to the growling, groaning and hissing sound at all times.
The cut scenes are really amazing, the voices have been fixed, so better voice acting in this one. A rather amazing storyline. In some points of the game the challenges may seem a little intense. But the game is still amazing.
If your looking for a good scare on the Gamecube until newer resident evil games are released, then go for this one. More items, new defence system, new enemies and different ways to defeat them. This is a game you will have to play and really enjoy it. For those who are new to resident evil this is the one game for you. I give this game a 9/10
