Be prepared to relive the first nightmare in Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original Resident Evil game.
This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. It’s the best way to experience the story of what really happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire Resident Evil saga.
The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.

Underrated Gem
Brilliant game! So glad to see this classic that was once stuck on the Gamecube, now being preserved by GOG in their program. Thank you!

A good experiment (mind the pun)
I still remember the backlash this game originally got back in 2002. The forced co-op, no item boxes, less traditional zombies to fight, lackluster villain and weak plot - all were criticised in game magazines and online forums. Despite this, Resident Evil 0 has aged surprisingly well and is a nice addon if you want more classic Resident Evil. It's not as good as the remake but, in my opinion, it still a good survival horror. You still get classic-style puzzles, a mansion(ish) to explore, limited inventory but now you have 2 characters to control at once. This is more of a tactical option, rather than one of overpowering, since you'll be switching back and forth as you carry items across the maps, trading said items and leaving your other character in a strategic position to reduce backtracing and potential deaths. Having said this, you technically DO get to control both characters at the same time using the right analogue stick and you can also issue basic commands (like follow and wait). Your other character can defend themselves (but using up ammo in the process) from enemies if you wish, so the strategic positioning does matter at times. I also really like Billy. Resident Evil 0 could have been better with item boxes (there's a mod that restores them and places them around the map) and it works flawlessly and seamlessly. They could have done with less animal enemies (although it makes sense why there are so many of them in this game) and more traditional zombies where they are slow and methodical in their movement. Also, no crimson heads here anymore. A GREAT RE title that holds up well if you can overlook a couple of odd design decisions and have some more patience that previous RE games of its time didn't require.
