To me Resident Evil 2 and 4 are tied for the best and my personal favorite, not just because Leon is awesome in both, but the gameplay was just wow. It's more than 10 years later now, and the fascination of this game hasn't decreased, … Expand I was awe-struck and deeply fascinated when i watched my friend play it.

I still remember the first time I saw this game, it was when I watched my friend play the RE2 demo, which his older brother had got from his copy of RE 1 Dir. Summary: A solid 10, it is everything that a Resident Evil should be, and I will NEVER get tired of this game. Some kind of different bird would have been nice, since there are only crows/ravens/whatever. Cats and snakes (there are only sissy snakes, and few of them) would have been cool. Plenty of different monsters such as: a few different kind of zombies (but where are all the children zombies?), 2 kind of lickers, 2 kind of walking plants, spiders, dogs (where are all the cats though?), crows. A G-virus mutated mercenary with a machine gun. A boss-fight against one of Hunk's team members would have been nice too. I think Chief Irons had made a good boss, imagine a boss-fight with a human who isn't infected by some kind of virus, blasting away with a hunting rifle, and setting off traps (he enjoyed hunting) during the fight. 1-2 more boss-fights had been perfect though. Plenty of interesting bosses including: alligator, Mr X., different mutations of William Birkin, G-Virus' "Offspring", the Moth (although not really a boss). 2 separate characters with 2 separate scenarios each (granted the scenarios aren't very different from one another), and an extra mini-game with Hunk and Tofu gives this game a great replay-value. It has a lot of puzzle-solving which is a good thing, and it has interesting environments and characters.

The dialogue is kinda cheesy, but that's the way I like it. The music and the sound effects are excellent and gives the game an eerie atmosphere. The action-horror atmosphere actually fits very well, but maybe it could have been slightly better if it was a teeny tiny bit more scary. It's slightly more action-oriented than the more scary RE1, but it doesn't make it lesser of a game. This is one of the best games in the genre, and of the best games for the PS1 ever.
