It's amazing what Team Silent made at that time, even tho it's the weakest of the trilogy, it's still a fantastic game to play and the first one to have vocal soundtrack, very fun when you're not disturbed over the monsters and atmosphere.
I hated this game so much in the past, but when i play it today it kinda makes me happy somehow, maybe it's the coop... or maybe the game is good and i'm an asshole.
The absolute definition of survival horror in games, and also was the perfect remake for me before RE4 was released. Be dumb and die, be smart and learn how to deal with the creatures, learn how to survive and years later punch a fucking bolder.
