On the surface it was a standard for the time side scrolling beat-em-up. However, the branching storylines, multiple characters, RPG elements, and secrets made this game very special to me. One of those games that’s much, much better than it had to be.
I truly believe this is the definitive version of the original RE, and the gold standard for remakes. Above and beyond in every respect, an awesome experience all around.
This is the first game I can remember obsessing over and begging my parents for Christmas. My siblings and I played it over & over for a year or more. Great, great memories. Can’t say how good it holds up, but for me it’s one of my favorite experiences with a game in my life
