Resident Evil Zero

Capcom Resident Evil Zero GameCube

Strengths: Graphics, mood, story

Weakness: Controls are poor

Capcom Resident Evil Zero GameCube was probably the best game in series prior to the release of Resident Evil 4. The game fills in the story prior to Resident Evil 1 and does a fantastic job of combining FMV clips and storyline with challenging puzzles and action. For fans of the survival/horor genre as well as Resident Evil games this is a must buy.

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: Stunning visuals. New two-character control. Plot occurs prior to other RE games.

Weakness: Same old RE formula. Character switching allows quick load of new rooms, but entering rooms still plays lengthy door animation. Controls are as clunky as ever.

In the realm of pre-RE4 Resident Evil games, this is a good one. The game mechanics are highly evolved, yet still retain the weaknesses that have bothered would-be fans for years. The controls are still first-person (up is always forward, not matter what the camera angle is). This is a bothersome necessity of having instant camera switches. Still, the game is an artistic masterpiece and can be a...

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: New storyline reveals some of mysteries in the Resident Evil series. Graphics and sounds are excellent to create edge-of-the-seat excitement of the survivor horror experience.

Weakness: Fixed camera angles, control scheme is out-dated, and the zombie storyline is getting a little long in the tooth.

Gameplay : 3 out of 5 Graphics : 5 out of 5 Sound : 5 out of 5 While some people say that zombie storylines never get old, it is starting to become clear that Resident Evil Zero is driving up the ramp on the way to jump the shark. Sure, RE-0 has all the RE elements that people love, but the twist of having two members required to solve puzzles and battle zombies did not bring anything grandly new...

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: very good story

Weakness: clunky controls

This game is the prequel to the Resident evil series. the game has the classic tank like controls but also has the great atmosphere which makes this series great. The game has a very good story, good voice acting, great voice acting and more. The game is well worth it if you are a RE fan but if not a rental would suffice.

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: The coolest action game so far!

Weakness: Not for kids

Definately need to own your copy! There are 2 discs in this game. You would know how good the quality of graphics/sound is right at the beginning. Might be a little be difficult for beginners because you have 2 characters to control now! But you can choose from easy, middle, or hard levels and still have fun! The only concern is that some scenes might be a little bit scary for kids. Lock them...

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: Another must-have game for the Gamecube, same graphics as in Resident Evil, two characters makes it more enjoyable with different strengths and weaknesses, changed inventory control system

Weakness: Oddball camera issues (though better than RE), same odd Resident Evil controls, only available for the Gamecube

Seeing some of the prequel story with RE:0 helps out understand some of the story you see in RE, and for that, it's well-worth the purchase. Another "must-have" for the Gamecube, with great atmosphere and sound and voice acting. Having two characters adds a new angle to RE:0 not present in the previous games, and also the camera issues have been fixed a bit, though not quite completely fixed....

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: The graphics are great, ultra realistic looking. Spooky environments and music will put you on edge. New enemies.

Weakness: If you've played all the other games this one is pretty predictable in places. The partner zapping system is irritating to use. Some of the new enemies can kick your butt quite quickly.

This game is a great buy especially if your a Resident Evil fan! You can now drop items anywhere you want, instead of using those item boxes. However this is can be a good or bad thing at times. You'll be dropping a lot of items too, becasue you dont have too much inventory space, and there are lots of items to collect. if your close enough to your partner character (in the same room) you can...

Zero doesn't add much to the RE series mythology. . .

Strengths: Stellar graphics, new partner swapping and item dropping mechanics, prequel to REmake, the last RE with zombies, Leech Hunters mini-game, budget price

Weakness: Same old controls, weak storyline, unimaginative enemies (frogs, monkeys, bugs, etc.), contains major spoilers for REmake, short overall length

Resident Evil Zero was the last game in the popular Capcom series to feature the now classic RE controls and game play dating back to the original PSone Resident Evil. Unfortunately, this wasn't the grand sendoff that most fans had hoped for. The Gamecube-powered graphics certainly do the series proud, and the new partner swapping and drop-anytime item mechanics certainly add new twists to the...

Resident Evil Zero

Strengths: Excellent graphics, voice acting and story

Weakness: Poor controls

I've never played a Resident Evil game (although I did see the movies and found them enjoyable) and this one pretty accurately models everything I've heard about the games. Excellent story, voice acting and graphics, and controls like trying to maneuver a drunken rat through a spinning maze. The parter system is interesting, but the tag-team puzzle solving (while inventive and interesting at...

2 can play at this game

Strengths: unique character switching idea...

Weakness: ...that doesn't work as well as it should

This game tried to do something different with the series. While many of the RE games feature 2 playable characters, this is the first to let you play them at the same time, switching back and forth, or even controlling both in the same room at once. Problem is, this can become somewhat of a nuisance at times, as when you are controlling one character, the other is standing around in real time,...
