Product Description

Platform: Nintendo 64

Product Description

Prepare yourself for one of the most horrifically fun games to surface on the Nintendo 64. As part of the incredibly popular horror game series, Resident Evil, the zombified townsfolk walk onto the Nintendo 64 for the first time in this follow-up to the original hit.

Resident Evil 2 is set a few months after the first installment's zombie plague. Players assume the role of either Raccoon City police officer Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield, whose missing brother may be involved with those responsible for the invasion. Both decide to venture forth in search of the source of the still-active zombie plague. In classic horror flick style, each goes alone with minimal weapons and a tendency to attract the undead. And since you can't argue with a zombie, players must often choose between firing a precious bullet or running for dear life. Separate character storylines and items that move after each game keep players coming back for more gore.

The hulking 512-megabit game pack is the largest to hit the Nintendo 64, and for good reason. The game features high-resolution 3-D graphics, a massive game world, and even full-motion video (another N64 first).

As millions of PlayStation fans can attest, you'll scream, you'll jump out of your chair, you'll shout commands to your characters as the zombies and mutant creatures close in and--best of all--you'll love every terrifying second of it. --Eric Twelker

5.0 out of 5 stars Gore on N64!, November 18, 1999

OK, what most people want to know is how this compares to the PSX Version. Well, hear is an honest analysis. The FMV scenes and sound are by far inferior to the PSX. It's almost like watching a bootleg copy of a movie. But, the actual gameplay graphics are by far superior; it is a night and day difference. There are also just enough added features to make any RE freak buy this version, even if he already has the PSX version. There is now a one button touch map available like RE3. There are also more files, books, notes, etc... to be found that link the game more with RE3. Some of the puzzles are different. For example, the police safe has a diffent combination. Also, everything flows instantly, since no load time is required. An awsome game, and the new graphics are pretty impressive. If you're an N64 owner, this is a must have...

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing accomplishment., December 9, 1999

This review is from: Resident Evil 2 (Game Cartridge)

Though there are many reasons I purchased, this game, let me come right out and say that the biggest reason for me was this: Full-Motion video running on an N64. Resident Evil 2 for the Playstation has always been one of my favorite games, and since I'm too stubborn to buy another system, I had to wait and see if it would come out for Nintendo's black box. In March of '99, my prayers were answered. Not only was EVERYTHING from the original game to be included, but the CG cinemas that set the stage so wonderfully in the PS version were also to be crammed onto the "huge" 64-meg cart.

All of them.

I haven't even mentioned the actual game yet. Though it is short (around 10 hours for the first quest, 6 hours for the second), the suspense-filled, nerve-racking gameplay makes every minute of those hours count. As I heard a publication say once: the atmosphere of the game makes you always feel like something's going to jump out from around the corner--and once you relax and stop expecting it, something DOES. Sheer genius.

Also, when you think you have beaten the game after playing with one character, think again. If you play using your saved data from the first game, but the other character, a whole new quest opens up, forcing you to go a different path, with even more ferocious enemies this time around. Also, many of the plot holes are sealed up the second time through.

No, the FMV isn't as good as on the other system, and no, there isn't a whole lot new to scream about here. There are some new files that you find laying around tieing in the stories of RE3 and the soon-to-be-released RE:Code Veronica on Dreamcast, and some new mini-games, but if you own the Playstation version, there isn't much reason to buy this one. However, it is to this day one of the best games ever made, and deserves a special place in any N64 owner's collection(well, if they're over 10).

Also, if you have an expansion pack, you can even play the game in hi-resolution mode, which looks much better than the original game could ever hope to. Not to mention that this time, there's no need to worry about memory cards as there are 16 save slots in the cartridge itself.

All in all, probably the finest PS to N64 conversion ever. Buy this one, if not just to see pretty movies on your little black box. The gameplay, graphics, and scares are some of the best out there on any system.

Hats off to Angel Studios for doing such a terrific job.

The first time I played a Resedent Evil game, it was the original, on the playstation. It scared the poop out of me, even with its bad acting, and at that point I decided I loved it. Being a N64 owner, I rented RE2, and didn't really expect an equal. I was right, it isn't equal to the playstation version; it is way better! I actually yelled out when a licker jumped at me through a mirror, and had to press pause to meditate when I had to kill someone who at one point helped me, just because they turned into a zombie. When I had to return the rented cartridge, going out a buying it was immediate. Then there is the story line, which from my inexpirienced view, is just plain neat. Okay, so the whole making of the zombies thing is psuedo-cheesy. But the development of that cheese makes you feel as if you are a private eye, piecing together the puzzle to find... well, something neat. Me, being a critic at heart who tends to live vicariously through those who are more famous than me, give Resendent Evil 2 for N64 two thumbs up.
