This month, the game I recommend you to buy has to be Resident Evil II. Now doubt that you've already
seen this classic on
the Playstation, but if you haven't here's the story. Resident Evil II is the sequel
from obviously the first Res Evil where you found yourself involved with an American kind
of SWAT team called "STARS" which was part of
the police.
They were sent in to find out why they lost contact with another team previous to
them. Anyway, to cut a (very) long story short they escaped from the flesh eating
zombies and big monsters just in front of a bi
g explosion. Along with that they
found the bad guys, who were a corporation called Umbrella. Well guess what, they at
it again and you're either a new cop to Racoon City, or a woman called Claire. Why
she's there I don't know, but the introductory FMV is cool and you really get into it
after seeing it. Capcom, have this time stayed with the original plot and theme as
the first Res Evil, with a
few zombies, a puzzle, a few more zombies, another puzzle etc. which may
sound boring but it really kicks arse! The graphics are totally superb, even without
a 3D accelerator if your PC's pretty new. That along with a great involving and
progressive story line comes a great game and should sell really well.
There is also a crossover in the two characters. They both have
different stories to unfold and different tasks, although unique are blended in really
well. However, you only really appreciate that after you've completed the game with
both. The baddies ar
e also extremely stereotypical (cool) and
they do really splat blood absolutely everywhere
(very cool), but above all
there is a big boss at the end slap (extremely cool). Now you may be reading this
and thinking well "I've seen blood and a big boss at the end", well the answer
to that is probably yes you have, but not to the quality of this. If you have never
played it, go buy it! You wont be disappointed!
