I've played half of Resident Evil on the Sega Saturn, and then Resident Evil 2 and 3 on the Playstation.
The president's daughter has been kidnapped by a cult in Slovenia or some part of eastern Europe, and Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 2 has been sent in to rescue her. This time it's not biohazard zombies and bio-weapon experiments run amok, but villagers possesed and mutated by a parasite. The ending was pretty cheesy and cliched btw;
The gameplay in this game is more action-shooter than RP3. Personally I prefered the gameplay of the previous 3 Resident Evil games, but apparently the creators thought that they had lost some of their fanbase, and wanted to revamp it. It actually reminds me more of Duke Nukem than Resident Evil, and is very sporty, etc. The graphics are pretty good for a 128 bit game (as they should be), and this time the story doesn't centre around the Umbrella Corporation (Umbrella send out military dude Krauser to attempt to recieve the sample of the parasite, but aren't the enemy in the game). It is scary, but doesn't frighten the bejesus out of you like the first time you played Resident Evil 2, or limping through a corridor with the Nemesis' booming footsteps in the background. There's a monster you fight in a crane that looks really silly and poorly designed also.
One of the handful of games worth playing on the PS2.
My rating: 8.0/10
