A weaker game than RE2 and RE3, not to even mention REmake which is still the best of them so far to me. The gameplay just isn't as good, but still a great game overall. Shout out to that midgame character switch that left me without 2 weapons on a character that really needed them early on, but I still managed with just the handgun for a while so it's doable even if you get screwed over. The one time I didn't rotate my saves this happened! It's been nearly 2 decades since I first played so I forgot about this, even though I'm replaying.

Anyway, every cutscene is so ridiculously amazing in this game, it's legitimately gold, specially whenever Alfred Ashford makes an appearance. He lowkey sells the game with how stupid everything about him is, and I mean that as high praise.

Aside: the PS3 version is a pretty standard HD port, looks blurry at times and I had an issue with pre-rendered custcenes becoming sporadically choppy. Solid otherwise.
