Resident Evil 2

"This is definitely a great game."

This is a great and scary game.This game is of course the sequel to Resident Evil.This game can make you afraid to turn the next corner (any ways you will have to) but when you turn the corner you never know what you'll find you just have to find out. This game has it all zombies and other creatures you could never imagine. The best part of this game is your in a giant (well semi-giant) city and you will never know which way to go until you find out if it's a dead end or truly the right way.

The Review:

Graphics:
The graphics are good but not perfect the people and monsters look like any average game would have for example they look like the characters off of some playstation game.

Sound/Voices:
The sound is fairly decent you can definitely hear the growls or the zombies but sometimes I can't make out what the people are saying but overall it has great sound compared to some games.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is great because you can turn real fast just in case something is behind you trying to get/eat you. The gameplay allows you to shoot fast well not real fast but fast enough. It is also great because it's easy to open stuff and go up some stairs or through a door stuff like that. It is also easy to pick up some ammo some dead guy may be carrying or on a counter or something like that.

Story:
The story is based in a city that has been over ran with zombies. The zombies were created by an incorporation called Umbrella. Umbrella has been creating viruses to turn people into zombies or other creatures that may be worse. The characters are Leon and Claire. Leon is just starting to be a cop at Raccoon City and he finds out it has been over ran with zombies. Claire on the other hand is looking for her brother Chris who was in the first Resident Evil.

Problems:
The main problem is the lagging or sometimes the game freezes which really makes me mad. Also you can not use this on Windows XP.

Spookiness:
I think this is overall a scary game because sometime you can turn a corner and nothing is there and sometimes there is and when there isn't things may pop out of unexpected places. The moans a growls also make a great effect on the spookiness.

Overall:
Overall I think this is worth buying and playing.
