Resident Evil: Zero

Release Date: Nov 11, 2002
Rated: M for Mature.
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom

Okay. I know what you people are going to say. "0mG!!!@ RE4 PWNS!!!!!!!!!1"
If that's what you want to say, then please. Don't Post here.

We all know the Resident Evil Series, right? The Umbrella Corporation illegally developed biological weaponary, but something went horribly wrong. There was an outbreak. The Virus they used, also known as the T-Virus, mutated everyone and everything. They became Zombies. That's right. Undead flesh eating of the night. And it's up to The S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) Team to stop this whole mess, or at least try to survive.


This time in the series, you play as the rookie Rebecca Chambers. It's her first mission, and you're flying to meet your team. OH MY GOD! The Plane...! It's going to crash!!
Boom. You've crashed. Searching the area, you find a police car, which..crashed as well. Apparently, it was transporting Billy Coen, who killed 23 people. Keep an eye out for him. You wonder some more, to find a train, which, not only contains zombies, but Billy himself. But here's the twist.

A Train! Who Would've thought!

He wants you two to join up, and try and survive the nightmare. Being your arrogant cop self, you turn him down, to discover upstairs, that you can't handle this alone. Looks like you DO Team up with him. Good Thing. That's what makes this Resident Evil, different.

Controls are basic, and simple..after you break them in:
Start is Start, or to Call your partner, to tell him / her to follow you, or to stay behind.
A is Accept, Examine, or Perform Action.
B is Decline, or hold it for running
X gets you to the Item Screen
Y swaps partners
L shows your partners items on the item screen, or shows their actions
R Aims your gun to the nearest enemy
Up and Down move you forward, or backwards
Left and Right spin you.

The gameplay, consists of Two things. Cooperation, and seperation. Since there is two people, there's got to be some teamwork in this game. Wether it be to help fight some enemies, or to solve a puzzle that will leak poisonus gas into the room, or even save the other teamate. To solve co-op puzzles, you'll use items, one person will be trying to come back to the other partner, with whatever you were trying to accomplish.

Trust me. You're gonna get seperated alot. There's gonna be incidents. Rebecca and Billy, might not make it. The game may seem easy, but when you're alone, and there's monsters about..... GOOD LUCK TRYING! So you'd want to get back as quick as possible. Sometimes you have to, otherwise, death.

One Teammate, 2 enemeies, and little ammo, Equals death.

Okay.. Aside from me giving away the start of the game, the story is actually pretty smooth, aside from some annoying parts. You'll travel far, big and small, and thrrough many plalces! It could be on a train, maybe a training facility..or maybe even a LAB?! I don't know.. Throught out the places, you'll discover shocking news, and relive flashbacks, which will add up to this one boss..All going together very nicely.

Looking at this game, now that other Resident Evil's have been released, this game feels like Resident Evil 4, and 1 combined. It's pretty sharp. Although, the entire graphics, give you a, "Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me " Kind of feel. All the graphics are dark, eerie, and mysterious. Especially the backgrounds, which are especially dark, and hide somethings..

See, things do jump out at you!

All the items are detailed, laid out fairly well, and presentable. They're displayed with a glow while wondering around. When you're at the item screen a little snapshot of the item. When you hit examine on the itemscreen, that's when the beauty comes. Detailed. Nice. Oh No. It's not just the items. Its also the characters. Billy and Rebecca get detailed looks, Rebbecca gets a nice Medic / Cop Outfit, while Billy Gets a rough convict outfit. With handcuff's. Oh yeaaaaaah.

Playing the game, and listening to it's music, adds to the "Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me Something's gonna jump out at me " Feel. I mean, it gets creepy, and when you turn that corner, and a zombie jumps at you, you best jump. Otherwise you have no emotions.

Random Actions, like falling, shooting, or performing actions, makes okay noises, I guess. I mean, they're short and simple. It's not like you'll use them every moment of the game. Gunshots, loud. Falling on the ground, a big thump. Actions, Basic. But where the sound picks up, is the voices. Rebecca aactually sounds nice ( I don't like her that much.) and Billy is funny sounding.


Replaying this game, is a blast. You get three bonuses. 1: Costumes; 2: Weapons (Sweeeeet ); and 3: The Leech Hunter Game. You can get some suave costumes for Billy, or a naughty outfit for Becky. Yep. Weapons. You heard me right. Do, Rocket Launcher and Sub Machine Gun bring pleasure to your ears? It does for me. And finally, Leech Hunter. Leech Hunter is a game in which you have to capture Leeches, for more stuff.Like if you get a perfect score, then all items have infinite ammunation. Isn't that a Beaut'?

So. Buy this game. Its great.

Re: Resident Evil: Zero

Dude I love this game so much...

Some people may think it's stupid that is pretty much an escort mission
through the whole game, but I find it not too hard but not too easy....

This is probably my favorite RE game besides RE4..

And I still remember to this day the Train and Umbrella Mansion level in this game..

And I love the slugs and zombie monkeys in this game

O yeah and I almost forgot, from the words of Trapt:
0mg!!111!!! tis g@ome pWNs!!!1!!!!
