I admit, when I used to try and play these games I hated them. When younger I would get so frustrated because I'd try to kill everything on the screen, but as I'm older now and have played Dark Souls my patience is different and the biggest tip to give for any RE game is that you do not/should not need to kill everything on the screen. This knowledge is what helped me in Dino Crisis and many other retro survival horror games I've visited over the years.

The legendary beginning is still so fun with the rocking music and the terrible voice acting.
"No! Don't go!"
This also led to me having a continuous joke of insulting the helicopter pilot who abandoned them. Fucking Steve! Which only got funnier with Code Veronica.

Anyway, getting off track, but I'm sure you all know about this game. You and your team are trapped in a mansion with flesh-eating zombie dogs outside and all kinds of other zombified and terrible creatures inside!

The puzzles are interesting and for my first playthrough, the chat got me to activate ARRANGE mode, which changes the position of critical items, making it harder if you've never played it before...yes my viewers are monsters.

Something you need to learn quickly for all survival horror games, including this one, is to conserve your ammo and healing items for the bigger threats you fight later on, not to mention bosses that can really ruin your day in all kinds of forms.

Still worth replaying and there's a reason why Capcom have been publishing remakes.
