If you've never seen or played Resident Evil 2, imagine playing a game that looks uncannily like Final Fantasy 8 in its graphics and fixed camera views except with zombies walking up to you from every direction. This game would not be hard at all, except for the fact that things can be hiding right next to you and you'd never see them because of that darned fixed camera. That and no matter which direction your character faces, you can only move forward by pressing up on the control stick. This is RIDICULOUSLY hard to get used to. Especially trying to remember that when the character faces the screen right is left and left is right. Since you can't really aim, there's not much skill involved beyond mastering the messed up controls.
When the game starts you have a pistol with about twenty rounds, but don't worry, when you run out, you switch to your machine gun with infinite ammo. Good thing you remembered to bring a nice BACK-UP weapon. Even more impressive, though, is the rocket launcher with unlimited ammo. Unfortunately, the rockets' blast radius is just about enough to blow up an ant farm.
Resident Evil 2 is difficult for all the wrong reasons, lacks plot, has laughable voice acting, and I keep expecting the main character to whip out a gunblade, which would actually be really cool now that I think about it...
Pros:
- You get to kill things that have trouble fighting back
Cons:
- Bad controls
- Fixed camera
- No skill necessary
- Terrible plot and voice acting
Final Decision: 1 zombie out of 5
