Top of the line Resident Evil
Still as enjoyable as it was when it first came out on playstation originally. RE1 had a wonderful music score and its own charm, but RE2 took it all to the next level and had a much larger play time an incintive to play both characters (with its 'zap' system) while adding a extra layer of strategy to it - there are key choices you can make during your first play through that will effect the play through you do with the other character that follows, and it was one of my biggest complaints with the RE2 remake, where the different versions (Clair A, Leon B or vice versa) where just different inherently and things you did in A didnt effect B really. The GoG version is a little strange however, as it has a 'arranged' version that is far as I could tell....not really arranged. Its not the japanese aranged version where things are moved and enemies are harder, and its not the western version with the infinite SMG and easier enemies. It had autoaim on by default but about mid way through my playthrough it was disabled, not really a deal breaker but I would have liked the arranged to be.....arranged a bit more. Beating the game does unlock a hard mode, I dont remember that from the original might give that a swing eventually. Overall worth the money even if it is a little....rough around a edge here or there, and still a must for any die hard Resident Evil fan.
