Not only is this game a really great remake, it is better than Resident Evil 2 was at the time of launch. I can't believe how seamlessly this game was able to capture all of the great things from Resident Evil 2 and none of the bad parts. It ranks up there with the remake of Resident Evil 1 as the best in the series.

I love that they were able to use the over the shoulder view to create a genuine survival horror game for the first time. To me that view was always associated with the departure from survival horror that Resident Evil 4 represents.
