Holy shit, this is where Resident Evil turns into Dark Souls. Once you beat this you will be able to unlock Tofu and friends. You have unlimited time to run to the extraction point where a helicopter is waiting for you. One of my favorite thing about the original Resident Evil was being able to unlock mini games where you get to play as Hunk, the only survivor from the Umbrella team who were murdered by William Birkin. If there was a way we could get the original experience but include the new Brian Irons villainy I think this would’ve bee perfect for me. As I’m typing this I realize I may get shit because everyone is so obsessed with this reimagining of Resident Evil 2 but to me the classic will always have the best experience. Although, I really would’ve loved to have important moments brought back such as Brad Vickers, helicopter crash, Umbrella team getting murdered in the sewers and how no boss battle was the same in both A and B scenarios. That being said, I think Capcom did a fantastic job bringing back the fear and beloved characters from the classic. I was wholeheartedly looking forward to those scenes we wanted for 21 years: the entire helicopter crash, Umbrella team getting ripped to shreds by William Birken and of course Mr X getting dropped from a chopper over the RPD. Can we talk about the scenario B footage of the Umbrella unit getting an entire cut scene of getting ripped apart by William Birken. With the exception of using the hacking device, I really missed the way the original 98 game had her face off against Cerberus dogs, and giant cockroaches. I felt that Brian Irons was short lived as a villain and can’t help to think that what if Capcom just made him more of a major antagonist and this all seems like a missed opportunity. Playing as Sherry was extremely enjoyable but should’ve been longer. Fighting the same boss battles 4 times just really got to me, I often felt like I was cheated after I left the RPD. No matter what you do you will do the exact same thing no matter who you play as. I will also argue that the weakest point is the final act in the labs. There came a point where the game became way too repetitive. Brian Irons will die the same way in both scenarios. Leon A will fight the same Alligator as Leon B, Ben will die the same way both scenarios. Every fucking boss fight is the same in every scenario with the exception of the final boss fights (Leon vs Mr. I must say that there is a big issue with Resident Evil 2 that affects me immensely but I know that I’m probably the only one who feels this way.ĭespite who you play (Lean A, Claire A, Leon B, Claire A) you’re basically playing the same story 4 times. When it comes to replay value, Resident Evil 2 does a fantastic job reeling me back in to get all of the true endings.
