Resident Evil (1996 Video Game)
6/10
Corny at times, but still a great game!
18 May 1999
I like this game very much! It's very scary, action packed, aided by some of the best video game graphics I've seen for a video game, and it's got a cool cinematic feel to it! The only drawback is the cinema. Not the cinema sequences altogether, but the acting is very like that of an Ed Wood movie. The dialogue is terrible, although not nearly as bad as some of the dialogue in it's sequel. But aside from that, this game freaked me out the first time I played it, because I've always pictured the "Resident Evil" series as an original haunted house thriller! Zombies work great in this game, because there's nothing more frightening than a haunted house that's plagued with flesh eating zombies! It's a superb video game, but the acting is bad. If it had better acting, then this game would be a towering achievement. But I don't know. Maybe the bad acting was in tradition with all the B-movies in the 60's. I hope the film version of this game, directed by "zombie god" George A. Romero, is as good as his "Night of the Living Dead" series, which clearly inspired this game.
