Better than the original in some respects, and worse in others; The most important thing is that unlike RE 3 Remake (and to a lesser extent RE2 Remake as well) it feels like a complete product, standing alongside the original in terms of quality and content. This game didn't need to exist, and the remake isn't countering that claim, but what it does provide is a stunning tribute to the original classic, and stands as one of the best Resident Evil experiences out there. A must-play, even for the skeptics.
