This game is the bomb! Everything that you loved about the original is back and then some. The graphics are still top notch and look a little better then the first.
The Ratings
Guide - 0.0 (why even bother) - 5.0 (this is a game?)
Graphics=5.0 - If this game were a movie you'd be hiding your face the minute you see the first . This time around there are more zombies and they attack in packs. There doesn't seem to be as much pixelation. RE2 drops the live-action scenes and sticks with perfect computer cut scences which look even better!
Sound=5.0 - The music in RE2 are much better then the original. The score seems to change with every scene and is never the same twice. The effects are still great with the scratching of zombies feet to dog barks, to even your own panting!
Control=4.5 - The new auto aim feature helps in a huge way! Now you can aim and run with ease. Killing zombies has never been so much fun and so easy. Although it's better the original there are still some times when the auto aim can't work - especially in large packs of enemies.
Overall=5.0 - With an even better story line, multiple characters and endings and an even bigger zombie fest, this game is as close to "the best" as you're going to get. If you've played the original and love scary games, this is the one for you!
Replay=high (if you're a fan of the original and you have the guts) medium (if you're just renting it and get scared easy)
Difficulty=Intermediate - advanced.
