I
have played Resident Evil 2 extensively. Far more than most people I
would say. So Each version has its pro and cons. Now you must be
wondering why in the hell do I dove multiple copies of the same game?
It's simple, I love to compare video games a lot.
Here's the run down.
The N64 version i would say has the most in content. Throughout the
game, you can find files left behind by the S.T.A.R.S. members. Most
notably, Jill's files, detailing her failed attempts, trying to convince
her superiors of Umbrellas activities up until the zombie outbreak. It
truly fleshes out the story and gives deeper insight into the world of
resident evil.
Besides that, it is the weakest of the three
versions that I have. Graphically, it is superior than the Playstation
version, if I remember correctly. But not by much. The textures looks
washed out a little however, the pre-rendered backgrounds look slightly
sharper.
Sound is where it took the biggest hit. All of the
audio has been compressed to fit the 512 meg cartridge. All the music
and dialogue sounds muddled. However, it's not so bad that you cant
understand what is being said. But it is noticeable.
_
The Gamecube version, I would say got the bad criticism back when it was first released. Here's why.
It was released after the part one remake. Many people were hopefully
that this was going to get the same treatment. All we got was a straight
port from the PSone. With some extra's.
Graphically, it's
much sharper than the N64 and has more color. It's easier to see
objects. There is one major flaw however, it lacks 480p support. The
most it could push is 480i. With makes this game look terrible on
current televisions.
Soundwise...... its all the same
I
would say the biggest gripe people had with this game is it's price. It
retailed for $39.99. Imaging trying to pay 40 dollars for a five year
old game.
_
Finally, I'll get to the best port in my opinion. The Dreamcast version.
This one takes the cake. Resident Evil 2 on Dreamcast is actually a
port of the PC version. Because of that, this game is able to run at
480p. Oh hell yeah. The colors and sharpness is about the same as the
Gamecube version, however, the progressive scan makes everything look so
much more cleaner.
Unfortunately, it lacks any extras. This version is pretty much a straight port.
Soundwise....... Its all the same..... again.
The best thing about this title is it's price. I only paid $19.99 when
it first came out. My big sister Hilda took me to buy it. 20 bucks for a
resident evil game.... not bad.
_
Well there you go.
It's not really a review, because if it was, this thing would me much
much longer. you ca easily purchase this title for PSN for only 5 bucks I
think. Anyway guys..... Have a good one.
