Get it........if you loved the very first rsesident evil, you will be blown away by this one........makes all the others look pants, cant stop playing it.
If you dont know, it is the story of the first game, with roughly 70% changes, trust me........its amazing.

I believe Resident Evil Zero is the prequel to Resident Evil.

The trailer is really You can switch between characters at any time and even use them together when required !

MJ - so have you played RE yet then??? go on...

My only complaint of the old series was the controls seemed wooden - might try and pop down EB to play it on their demo system..

Hmm been waiting for another decent game since I finished 007:AUF. Sounds like this could be the one or should I wait for Turok Evolution?

What is it called exactly as I seen Resident Evil: Biohazard on Special Reserve?

P.S. If anyone wants the following GC games then let me know

Burnout £18 + p&p
Luigis Mansion £22 + p&p
Sonic Adventire 2: Battle £20 = p&p

Or I will swap any for Super Monkey Ball!

Simon.

I think I'll wait for TimeSplitter2 (out on 27th Sept apparently)..

I might rent RE first, before I buy it - I found Code Veronica on PS2 was crap, IMHO.

played res this evening and it's very good.definately a different aninmal to the first res PS story/game. super duper graphics and nice fast loading times.

a bit on the hard side, am currently studying walkthroughs.

you still don't get enough ammo, i would say even less than usual in this version.

Cool

Dr Evil, Code Veronica is like a completely different game, and i think the worst resident evil game.
And MJ........to hard!!!!!, are you a jessy or something!!!!

If you are slightly interested in Resi games, you will love it on the Gamecube.

is it just my other half or do all women have an inbuilt dislike of our games consoles?
mine started moaning that I'd bought a " nintendo - box" as she called it, when I should be spending money on new kitchens/dining room furniture etc.

I'm sure you can imagine my response.

That just calls it Resident Evil. Am I getting my wires crossed or is this the same thing? Or am I jumping the gun and Resident Evil Zero isnt even released yet?

Yes, I think mj is talking about Resident Evil not Resident Evil Zero which is the prequel to Resident Evil. 2 totally different games. RE0 is expected October 2002.

MJ - I know what you mean about women - although, bought my woman a GameBoyAdvance to keep her quiet Rayman Advance.. Also bought Sonic Battle 2 on GC for her + the GBA link cable so she can download the tamagochi style pets from SB2 onto the GBA..

P1F - Resident Evil on GC that is out at the moment is a different beast to RE0 which is yet to be released... FYI - I was confused too, hence the title of the post..

Cheers, Alex

PS. still gonna wait for TS2 as played the PS2 demo last week, its mental

I thought Code Veronica was great - although I played the original (Dreamcast) version. Couldn't comment on the PS2 version.

Saing that, I even enjoyed Dino Crisis!

ps: Here's a trailer for Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City

All of the RE series (and Dino Crisis) have been really easy but IMO some of the best games ever made. Each new episode had a little more playabililty & a few more extra character moves.

Can't understand why Capcom have given the licence soley to Nintendo

What bit are you up to dogmaul ?

[Edited to say - Resident Evil Gun Survivor sucked ]
