This being my first ever Resident Evil game, I must say it was a mighty fine introduction. The gameplay was excellent. The controls were very responsive and all of the characters felt great to play as. The story was pretty good too (I must say, I preferred Claire's story over Leon's, but both were good). The characters were great. All these elements are great, but the game's atmosphere steals the show. My goodness, it's phenomenal. It sucks you in from start to finish. The lighting and sound effects drive this point home. This remake was a nice introduction (for me anyway) and a great game all the way around.
