Resident Evil Code: Veronica X

THE BAD:
Sometimes confusing, and Steve Goddamn Burnside(for the first part, anyway)

SUMMARY:
In-Depth Review: Graphics:4.9/5 Easy scorer. The graphics are incredible. They're extremely crisp and easy-to-see. Such a shame this game didn't have a PAL/NTSC selector, because the whole full-screen would have suited it a lot. Controls:2/5 Very frustrating at most times, especially in the first encounter with the Bandersnatch monster, where if you needed to turn around, he would hurt you dangerously before you could face him. I give them a two, however, simply because they're easy to get used to, especially if this is the first Resi game you've played. Characters: 2.5/5 Bad, but not awful. Claire Redfield is a little shallow and seems to be cold and robot-like, when they could have made her a little better, or at least changed somehow. And so we come to him. Steve F***ing Burnside. I wanted to turn those Lugers around and shoot him with them when he stole them from the palace. However, my opinion of him completely changed when that sequence during the Bandersnatch battle played, and he executed a (very very Matrixesque) jump through glass to kill the monster. His voice acting reminds me of Shadow Of Memories' Hugo Wagner, and I hated Hugo's voice. Music: 4/5 I'm giving it a 4 because what I paid attention to was very haunting and creepy, and I keep coming back to the Bandersnatch's first battle, but especially your fight with him. The violin effects are good. What I say about paying attention-it's because I was too fixed on the puzzles of Resi, another strong point. Puzzles/Gameplay: 5/5 Frustrating, but games like this aren't supposed to be easy. People who complain about difficult puzzles shouldn't play games like this, because it's obvious from the outset that there will be puzzles. It's part of RE. You can't have Resident Evil without the difficult puzzles. People expecting this should turn away now and find another game to play, perhaps Die Hard or something similarly boring. And Finally... Story: 4/5 Haunting and strange. The relationship between Alfred and Alexia was obvious from the outset, from where the movie played of them with their faces dangerously close together. One thing got me, though-Alexia said she wanted to be 'like a dragonfly'-well why is Alfred pulling the wings off the dragonfly? Maybe it's a metaphor...meh. I don't know. Anyway my overall score is 4.8, and if you disagree then tough.

THE BAD:
Some crappy camera angels especially if a monster is in the corner
Shortage of amo
not much though this game owns!

SUMMARY:
When I first got this game it took me a while to get used to the controls but once you get the hang of what your doing its addictive. I ran through most of the game in a breeze except for a couple parts where I had to go through and do it again since I was attacked by a hoard of enemies at once and there was nowhere to run. Also the amo problem is okay IF you learn to master the combat knife..the trick is to slash the zombies on the knees and get them to fall down and then once they are down slash them like theres no tommorow so they won't get up. Its either a hit or a miss...if you've never played residents evil before or arent a fan of horror games you might not like it.

THE BAD:
Some bad camara angles, holes in the story line, and too much puzzles.

SUMMARY:
Well, it looks like that Capcom had introduced another great RE title. Resident Evil: Code Veronica X has a good amount of monsters/enemies, from the well-known zombies, dogs, and hunters to new monsters like the albinoid, super zombies, and new tyrants.
There, however, always the bad side, which include a few holes in the story line (it doesn't affect the grand scheme of thing), a few bad camara angles (like the one in the Ashford Mansion where I can't even see the zombie), and way too much of those annoying puzzles. Still, as I said, with all the faults, this is still a great RE title on the PS2, a must buy for RE fans.

THE BAD:
The enemies are to easy, Final boss Alexia was easier than anything.

SUMMARY:
From the start this game seemed very hard, but as you carry on it gets easier. The graphics are brilliant, the enemies were well created the Bandersnatch was the best, but to easy. Overall this is the perfect game for anyone who thinks there good at all of the other Resident Evils, this will test you.

THE BAD:
That it's card of hard because they give you a very low amount of ammo in this game at the begining.

SUMMARY:
In my opinion this game really rocked.It was cool to play and everything.I really enjoyed it the whole time I was playing it.I especialy liked the weapons and graphics that they have in this game.

THE BAD:
As with other resident evil games the controls are dodgy, just not as good as resident evil for the game cube and it can be very tricky at times.

SUMMARY:
This is a good game in the resi series but not the best. Eeverything about it is pretty bog standard resi and while this isn't a bad thing it tends to make it very unoriginal.

My advice is to go buy resident evil for the gamecube.
