“Don’t shoot! I’m a human!” (Waves arm in an awkward and very unnatural way)ĭespite locking the door, he makes the unfortunate mistake of standing near the glass walls and gets eaten alive by a pack of zombies. When you reach the gun shop, you are greeted by the owner, a friendly enough guy (once he realizes you’re a human–despite the way you oddly swing your arms) sporting a nasty bite on his own arm. The best way to get through the streets is to move slowly, get a sense of which direction a zombie is going, turn away from them and try to find a straight path where you can safely run past them, without also running into one of the other undead shambling around. The street section that opens the game is locked out forever once you reach the RCPD. If you’re playing on Normal mode, you won’t want to spend any of your precious ammo on enemies you will never encounter again. Well, if you never learned how to avoid zombies in the first game, you’re gonna have to learn how to do it now because it’s the very first thing the game has you do.Īs either Leon or Claire, you immediately get surrounded by zombies emerging from the flames and rubble in the streets. If anything, I get confused and end up slow dancing with them until they give me an aggressive hickey. As someone who understands (but still has not mastered) the controls of old Resident Evil games, I’ve always had one glaring inadequacy when it comes to my skill level: I can’t avoid the zombies. I hope you’re ready, because this game throws you into the fire immediately. You have once again stepped into the world of survival horror… Good luck.
From there, you control either Leon or Claire as they attempt to reach the police station and find a way out of this mess. When they get attacked and surrounded by zombies they flee, but are eventually separated when a tanker truck driven by a man who has succumb to a deadly bite smashes into Leon’s car. He meets a young woman, Claire Redfield, who is searching for her brother, Chris (one of the two protagonists from the first game). Kennedy, who drives into town on his first day to discover the place is overrun with zombies. Players are introduced to rookie cop, Leon S. Resident Evil 2 released in 1998, two years after the release of the original, and-oddly enough-the actual year in the Resident Evil timeline, with this game taking place a few months after the July 1998 “incident” at the mansion in Resident Evil. The huge success of the first game meant a sequel was inevitable. They took the ideas of Alone in the Dark and turned them into something more engaging (and certainly more gory).
Resident Evil took horror games to a new level.
