Playing this game was a one in a lifetime experience, and it’s one I will never forget…

I remember when it first came out, seeing the absolutely insane reaction in every magazine, review show, and game store, everyone was talking about it.

I myself always wanted the chainsaw controller edition that released later on.

However, I never really got to play it.

All I could do was, watch all the images, read all the walkthroughs, and watch as many videos as I could find.

It wasn’t up until I was already a working adult, that I was able to buy my own GameCube, and a copy of this game.

And boy oh boy, was the experience exhilarating…

Just entering the game for the first time, watching the classic, gritty textures, and listening to the desolate ambiance was already thrilling, but then you’re welcomed by the most anxiety inducing opening level in any game, fighting off dozens of plagas AND the chainsaw dude, safe to say, I was already sold on it, but as the experience kept going, it kept getting better and better for the most part.

By the end you do see a few levels that were a bit too much, and just the level of insanity that the story has, but for some unknown reason, it all works out perfectly together in the end.

This is perhaps one of my most replayed games ever as well, and the one I own the most I think, coming down to Cube, IOS, Xbox 360, PS4, PC and now the remake.

While not perfect when fully analyzing every level and mechanic in detail, it definitely works all together as one of the most epic and memorable Survival Horror Action experiences out there.
