Resident Evil, the game that is often credited with starting the survival-horror genre, is being reinvented for the GameCube. For those unfamiliar with the series, a mysterious corporation has secretly been performing ungodly biotech experiments in the sleepy little town of Raccoon City. When reports of gory attacks come in from nearby areas, two crack military squads are sent to investigate. Players take the role of either sharpshooter Chris Redfield or demolitions expert Jill Valentine to track down the source of the town's problems--specifically, something in a decaying mansion that's mutating animals into grotesque killers and turning humans into bloodthirsty zombies. Supplies and ammunition are scarce, so players have to know when to fight, when to run, and how to keep their wits about them. Players can't afford to waste their shots and expect their characters to survive. The story is being retrofitted with motion-captured animation, next-generation graphics, real-time lighting and shadow effects, new areas, and newly rendered in-game video segments to create an even more cinematic experience. Also, a redesigned combat system lets players attack and defend themselves with a variety of items found in the environment.

Summary: Creepy, but slow: caution if RE4 (Wii) was your first RE experience
Comment: RE4 was one of the first games I played for Wii. It was also the first Resident Evil game I had played (I do not own a gamecube).
RE4 is extremely different from RE for gamecube.
RE4:
- better graphics
- more "shoot 'em up" style: tons of ammo, more killing, less walking around lost
- save whenever there's a typewriter
- you do not need a walkthrough, ever, if you are willing to spend 5 minutes to figure something out
- you can hold lots of weapons, herbs (health), and ammo.
- There is currency. You can upgrade and buy weapons from a merchant.
- fun (especially Wii version)
RE1:
- good graphics for its time; bad for the modern game
- you have to collect "ink ribbons" if you want to save. While generally there is a sufficient amount, it takes up space (see following bullet)
- conserve your ammo! walkthroughs suggest that you run past most zombies to conserve ammo. Also, you only have 6 spots, 8 with the girl to hold stuff. 6 spots is not enough. Sure, it makes it challenging, but soon it's annoying. 1 spot for handgun, 1 spot for handgun ammo, 1 spot for special item, 1 spot for herb, 1 spot for other gun, etc. it gets crowded, quickly.
- Creepy. All the walking around in the dark mansion makes it creepy, yes. And if you favor those kind of games instead of your standard HL shooter game, then by all means get it.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: Before this game, the only other Resident Evil game I had played was RE 4 on the Wii. Needless to say, I loved Re 4 and wanted to check out the older games too. I was very pleased to find out that the original had been remade for the GC and wasted no time ordering a copy.
I was shamelessly addicted to this game from start to finish. The graphics are amazing considering it's a game from 2002, the look of the various baddies will scare the crap out of you. The music is the one point I found to be weak in this game, it's sort of your usual horror ambient music and nothing more. The story is very dark and disturbing, one you might expect from a game called 'Resident Evil' but it's dark and disturbing in a very great way!
When it all comes down, this game is easily one of the best I've played and highly recommend it to any fans of horror or puzzle games.

Summary: Resident Evil Remake The Reviewing
Comment: Here's a good example of how to re-make a game, a complete graphical overhaul and in the case of RE the addition of decent voice-actors. The latter improvement might not be as welcome to the people who truly appreciate the original's cheesy voice acting and occasionally nonsensical dialog ("Your our amazon, Jill!"). Despite the removal of its cheesy charm it more than makes up for it in pure atmosphere which is creepy as hell. So I think that more than makes up for it. Also there are many more jump type scares than in the original. The controls...well if you have played a RE game before (barring 4 and non-cannon games) than you know the controls are about as intuitive and responsive as a catatonic donkey, and yes that's a hyperbole,deal with it. The controls do add to the terror, so maybe they were horrifyingly intentional. Also the graphics hold very well to today's standards (except the weird shadows) and just looks great. So if you're just curious you might like it if you are just looking for something scary with a decent plot and fans, like myself, why aren't you clicking buy already? There's my first review, so I end off with a nice celebratory, w00t!
