Romexus reviews Resident Evil 2 (PS)

Back blast review of Resident Evil 2! Lets start out by stating that this game is pretty old....so the graphics are a bit dated....really dated actually. Despite the lack of visual appeal, Resident Evil 2 jump started the series with an honestly scary game. While we are currently enthralled with games like Dead Space or Doom to scare the mess out of us, anyone who played this game during the prime will always remember walking into the interrogation room and thinking, "I hope nothing busts through that glass.....CRASH." Or perhaps walking down the hallway with boarded windows in the police station. Yes...these were great memories that made me appreciate the survival horror genre. You do not need graphical blood and gore to frighten a gamer, it is all about the atmosphere. Overall this was an awesome game despite the clunky controls and awkward camera angles. Resident Evil 2 established Raccoon City on the map and was the setting for many survival adventures for years to come.
