The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Let's do a little math: In 1997, RE2 for PS1 sold for $50. In 2000, RE2 for Dreamcast sold for $20. In 2003, RE2 for GC retails for $40. Add all these together, divide by the number of years, multiply by five, and the result is: THIS GAME IS A FRICKIN' RIP-OFF. I don't know what the hell Capcom is thinking—this is the same game as before, with nothing new (and actually missing minor bonuses from other editions, like opened minigames and extra story files), save the slightly sharpened graphics. RE2 is not a bad game by any means. It can't compete with the RE1 remake or REØ, but the detailed backgrounds hold up fairly well, and, based on gameplay and especially the ambitious story line, RE2 still deserves playing. The ability to play as one of two characters, each with his or her own costars, items, and enemies, and then discovering another side of the plot by playing as the other, will keep you hooked—if only to see what happens next.
