This game is so good i lost the chance to lose my virginity playing it,,,,,, not once but TWICE!!!!!!

all i can say about that is...

IM READY FOR NUMBER 3 BABY

Fantastic game, Resident evil is my favorite franchise ever and Re2 the original was my favorite of the psx resident evil games
While lacking in some of the quantity of content that the original had (and while that content was quality),

the game has a great sense of atmosphere and tension that is enhanced from the original resident evil 2,

with even better controls that feel like Resident evil 4 with them tinkered to make leon feel more less experienced, the controls take time to get used to for combat, but it suits the game well.

the vibe for me always felt like they mixed RE4 gameplay aspects with RE2's setting, and it works really well. The only miss in this game for me though is the soundtrack.

The original composed scores for Re1&Re2 are some of the most legendary for atmospheric horror, to the point you can give a picture of the area they have in those games of the PSX era' and I'll be able to remember those songs from the OST that play.
So when I played Re1 Remake, i thought the soundtrack was improve times 10, while i miss weskers old theme, the soundtrack was beautiful, sinister, terrifying, and blissful in the remake of the first game.
And bogs down on my biggest complaint from the remake of RE2, the soundtrack is dull and non existent, the orignal was amazing with the feel for the mainhall, the sewers, labs, and that iconic melody when you enter a safe room. The only track in the remake I remember was Mr.X's theme, it was way better than the original version from the PSX as it made Mr.X seem like an actual threat.
Overall this has to be one of the best games i have ever played, it was tougher than the original, and made for a great new expierence
My rating is a 9/10

Masterpiece...............that is all

i love these costumes, but 10 bucks is a bruh moment

where to start....
This game is a technical nightmare, it froze on about 6 times over the course of an hour, it wont save unless you have games for windows live which is total BULL (as it took me going to the crapper for 6 minutes to wait it out for a sign in.... only a sign in), and it will not save through steam, but will only save through games for windows live. Which reaaaalllly sucks, however that is just the tip of my opinion for this game.

Pros

the characters are actually pretty dang neat, and a breath of fresh air from the typical main characters from the resident evil franchise. While lacking in depth and character dynamics between the crew, you can still infer a lot about the characters based on the voice acting which is surprisingly decent for a game like this. You have Four Eyes whom is neat cute little psychopath who can be little caring, Spectre a cool former KGB from the cold war with a damn cool accent and design, you got Beltway a loud mouthy mexican who loves the smell of gunpowder and explosions ;Yet actually given to be the most normal person on the team, Lupo the only noncowardly frenchy amungst the group, Bertha who is the BESTGIRL, and Vector (my personal favorite) the one character the i honestly wish was canon amungst the main resident evil games as his design and voice and personalty are the best in the game.

The cutscenes (while taken from another resident evil game to give context to this games scenarios) are actually pretty sweet, they look nice, the can be skipped quickly, but they are a nice break form the typical fatiguing gameplay
The mission where you fight hunters and soilders at a gas station is actually pretty dope, its both fun unironically and ironically, ironically cause its so broken, unrionically as it is actually fun.
the controls are pretty dang smooth for an action 3d resident evil, they're even more smooth than resident evil 6 , and playing this again with mouse and keyboard was super smooth

CONS
To elaborate on the games for windows live a bit, i lost about 2 hours of gameplay. I exited out of the game went to sleep, woke up and went to continue my progress, and what i see makes me laugh and groan at the same time. There is no save" but how" i asked, well you needed games for windows live, but every time i put in my information it loads for a long time with no indication of finishing, so i exit out the pop up and it freezes the game, so just to exit out the game i have turn of my PC. So i made a new windows account and then signed in went to the bathroom for 6 minutes and it was done, and i could enjoy the game in its full "Glory"
Gameplay (Played on Veteran)
its simple, you cover, click and shoot yet they made even something as simple as that a chore to do, as you will do this over and over and over again, the games length was around 3-5 hours and i already had fatiuge through the game play when i was like an hour in, its usually because the same formula is repeated over and over through to the end, and it can be fun at times. However for the most part, its really tedious as your gun while in cover has no accuracy so it feels poinless to even shoot your weapons at the enemies who also have have, yet your enemies have the aim of American Sniper Chris Kyle and you get folded for even trying to get some cover

Spec ops
this is its own section, while i appreciate the addition of many of resident evil 1 and resident evil 2's B.O.W.S in the game they were kinda stupid in this game, but in their own special way they kind fun to fight for dumb action schlok. The spec ops however is whom i spent the majority of my time in this game and it was rage, fury, irratation, humilitation, to have to lose to them for parts of the game as there were 2 part of the game in particular that made me legit mad the first was the hallways in city hall where if you had the wrong gun for range your done before you began, and the second being the generator of 3, where you have to with a sniper, zombies, and hoards of broken lazering broken stupid spec ops who can kill you in a milisecond. In a franchise with some of the most influential monterous designs created by the japanese ( TIED with Berserk&Godzilla) you would thing that Studio Six( studio behind operation raccoon city) would make use of the most iconic setting in the franchise, where they would use the monsters of that era to make you feel like your in a hellscape..... but nope we got a generic lazering, overpowered, yet stupid pair of soilders.... we got spec ops
The Music
its meh overall, the briefing song before the start of every mission is dope,the main menu theme is cool, then there is this one song in a part of the game where there are 2 semi-trucks parked in a garage that sounds like a resident evil 4 song, but there is nothing overall that is too notable

Level design
its not bad, but man sometimes it does not compliment the gameplay sometimes, such as the 2 missions i mentioned in the spec ops section above, but for most part its mostly uninspired bleh.

Fan Service
The fan service in this games is unreal, while it is awesome to see Mr X, the original RE2 police station, Nemesis (Albeit a butchered voice for nemesis) lickers, hunters and more raccoon city, it does not feel earned it just feels like it was put in to make everyone less upset with game they bought, and hell it even butchered them in many ways, while i understand the lickers dying quicker, we fight multiple Mr X's (or Tyrants) and they die quick making them feel brain dead and stupid, they pose no real threat as their A.I. is Trash, while spec ops are annoyingly bullet spongy and overpowered. It just makes the enemies from resident evil 2 and actual joke, where Resident evil 5 (for as much hate as that game gets) it made these types of monsters threats when you had normal weapons in that game.

overall
While i bought this game on sale it for around 8 bucks, it still is not worth your time to waste on as a fan or a casual if i were to give this a rating its a 4/10 OR 5/10 at best

This is the best batman game ever. I bought this on console and now have it on steam its just as good as i remember 9.5/10
