3/2/2023 0 Comments Pixel 3 resident evil 2The main difference, however, is the environment and this is what gives Resident Evil 2 its lasting appeal. That will be useful for saving the game, once I’ve found a flipping typewriter! And this green plant here will be useful for a health boost, even though my stomach is unable to digest such nonsense. The puzzle solving, item collection and exploration is as was and the basic gameplay mechanics are pretty much unchanged. Played from the same third person perspective as the excellent original, Resident Evil 2 is a canny example of more of the same yet entirely different. With two guns better than one they join forces and plan to reach the Racoon City police station, a safe place to barricade against the zombie hordes, wait for a rescue team, make a cheese and pickle sandwich and, most importantly, survive. Lots of them! With the walking dead attempting to munch on Leon’s tasty hams he luckily runs into Claire Redfield, who is in town trying to locate her dickhead brother. After the ‘incident’ at the mansion, you would think Umbrella might get their shit together and start employing competent scientists. But his first day is also likely to be his last thanks to some clown at Rihanna’s Umbrella Corporation allowing the fatal T-Virus to be released slap bang in the middle of town. Resident Evil 2 pretty much picks up where the first game ended, albeit a few months later and with Leon joining the ranks of the Racoon City Police Department. Similar to the Star Trek rule of thumb about even numbered entries in the series being the better movies, a Resident Evil entry involving Leon in the lead is typically far superior to one that features charisma vacuum Chris Redfield. It’s more like praise the monkey Gods for Leon Kennedy. Thank the monkey Gods for Romero then, eh? More so because without ‘brahnnn’ eating hordes of undead, gamers would not only have been denied the survival horror genre, but also the quite magnificent Resident Evil series (well, apart from chapters five and six obviously). And a universe with only pirates and ninjas, but no zombies, would be an ever so slightly duller place to live. Without Romero’s effortless vision of humanities slavery to consumerism the whole zombie mythology might never have existed. Romero’s assessment of a crumbling society was within Dawn of the Dead. Along with the feeble, unbalanced shuffling to the kitchen for some munchies and attempts to out-stare the fridge into opening because you’ve forgotten what a handle is, you begin to recognise just how spot-on George A. Muugh! Raaaauuuugh! Graagh! Bacon sandwich… are the normal zombie-like sounds that emanate from most bedrooms after a Friday night out with the beer monkeys.
