Resident evil pc game download

Chris is pumped so full of steroids, his manhood must be severely compromised, and seeing as he likes a challenge, he starts off with just a knife, whereas Jill is armed with a pistol although Chris does rescue her at choice intervals. Jill can also pick locks, which inevitably makes gameplay much easier. Kicking off in a deserted hallway, you begin by looking for your missing team member, and it isn't long before you come across your first zombie.

Killing them is one of the game's gory glories. The pistol does the job well enough, but the shotgun you find later will take a zombie's head clean off at close range. The characters are superbly animated: zombies shuffle along with arms outstretched, while slavering dogs with gnashing teeth pounce through the air.

The camera angles keep the atmosphere tense without being disorientating, and the neat cut-scenes ensure that the cheesy storyline oozes along nicely. However, although the pre-rendered backdrops don't actually detract from the gameplay, they are a bit fuzzy, especially when set against the sharp 3D characters. We were also promised some groovy lighting effects, a promise that has been barely realised. There's a cracking good adventure to be had as well. Staying alive and exploring aside, there's always something to do, whether it's searching for keys and ammo, solving puzzles or shuffling items in your little satchel.

Alright, so the puzzles are fairly easy and the adventure pretty linear, but you don't really notice it. In fact, not being a hardcore adventuring fan, I found that the difficulty level was set just right. Sound-wise, the orchestral music is excellent. Ominous violins keep the heart pumping at a healthy bpm while the full cardiac arrest-inducing orchestral stabs should maintain regular bowel movement. Sounds licky so far, eh? Well, I'm sorry to say there are a few nuggets at the bottom of the pan that just won't flush away.

Yes, the graphics have been improved and the slow access times have been minimised, but the awful sequence where you're treated to a creaking 3D door when you enter a room hangs heavy very quickly. Not only that, but the inventory system is awkward and the developers really should have made more use of the mouse control and the Save Game feature common to the PC. A bit more tweaking could have made this game a classic.

It demands a hefty wedge of disk space for what it is, but that said, Resident Evil is generally a triumphant conversion of an excellent game.

You won't be disappointed. The rating you see to your right is not a misprint and we haven't taken leave of our senses. The hype is real and the horror is indescribable: Resident Evil lives up to its advance word and emerges as one of the most amazing video games that we've ever come across.

This small space can't do the game justice. Everything about Resident Evil screams "classic". It's a challenging, brain-twisting, shock ride filled with sudden scares, fiendish puzzles, and more atmosphere than a dozen planets. People will actually stop in their tracks and watch while you play this one, because it's better than most flicks. Be afraid, be very afraid. Last issue we hipped you to Capcom's upcoming blood and guts test Resident Evil.

This month, we've gotten our hands on a newer version of the game that has more areas to explore, more characters to interact with, and more weapons to blow away zombies with, so we Just had to give you another glimpse of what we think is going to be one of the hottest games of Resident Evil takes place in and around a mysterious mansion that housed the headquarters of a secret government lab charged with the development of a top-secret new biological warfare device.

True to Murphy's Law, the worst possible thing has happened: total loss of contact with the facility. In the game, you take on the role of an operative sent by the government to investigate what went wrong. Upon arrival, you find the house deserted, and as you explore it, you discover that it has been overrun by an army of zombies, giant spiders, vicious frog mutants, and much, much worse. Using your wits and weapons you have to run the terrifying gauntlet of the mansion, it's sub-houses, a cemetery, and more to find out how to keep the horror from spreading to the outside world.

If you're lucky, you might even find the escape helicopter and get out of there with your sanity intact. The new version of Resident Evil includes a playable female character in addition to the first's male character. It also has a host of new rooms and outside locations to explore. In addition, graphic tricks--like the use of mirrors-- have been added to up the game's "wow-cool" factor.

One of the most interesting new developments is the addition of an inventory screen. It doesn't sound too exciting, but it looks great. The main reason it's so cool is the fact that whenever you select a weapon for your character to use, you can look at a 3-D modeled version of it at your leisure. Keep in mind that this is still a far from complete version of the game, so it stands to reason that much will be changed before it hits the shelves. Keep reading VG so you can get the scoop.

Departing from the familiar formula of fighting games, Capcom takes up temporary residence in the action 'hood. From the looks of Resident Evil, an intriguing third-person-perspective action game, Capcom's comfortable in its new digs. Resident Evil has a variety of gameplay and eerie, detailed graphics that tempt you to look closer, but repel you when you get too close. Using shifting camera angles in a 3D environment, this action disc combines role-playing and puzzlesolving gameplay.

Furthermore, the combination of that gameplay with Capcom's new RE Engine guarantees a truly frightening experience. Darkness, tension, stress, loads of frights, worrying sounds All the elements you could expect in a game of the likes of Resident Evil.

A console port so insultingly cut-and-pasted that its menu systems make you weep, its refusal to recognise even the existence of a mouse makes you incensed with anger and its insistence on showering one of the greatest games of the past decade in noxious shit makes you gag. Yes, I'm pissed off. Let's imagine you don't have a gamepad and you want to play Resi 4 on PC. Controls are entirely keyboard-based - and as soon as one of the game's Fahrenheit -style timed button-bashing sequences kicks in, you'll get requests like 'Button 5 and button 6!

I played this abhorration with a pad in the end - but even then I had to alt tab out to find out exactly how the buttons were numbered in my computer's control panel. What's more, Resi 4 simply doesn't look as good on PC as it did back on my lowly GameCube a couple of years ago. Weird I know, but drizzling higher resolutions onto a console game that previously had no lighting system and instead relied on textures to complement each other in their shared darkness has rendered the game stark and unlovely.

A darkened cavern may now be crisper, but the more detailed rocks in its walls look silly and unrealistic - and any aid given to the game by a television's inherent blur completely evaporated. Cut-scenes too now seem cruelly dated and fuzzy -meaning that much of the 'wow' factor is now lost despite the sheer excitement that can still brim over in them If you've been on a lunar expedition for a little while, and missed out on the fuss, then Resi 4 follows Leon Kennedy - a man who may share Ian 'H from Steps' Watkins' floppy blonde hair, but is a far more competent killing machine.

He's in generic Eastern Europe to find the US President's kidnapped daughter -but not only has everyone been turned into a zombie, but some are wearing bags over their heads and waving chainsaws. Chainsaws whose distant revving noise chill your soul to its very core, and which can and will cleave your head in two at a moment's notice.

Despite the bitter yellow bile Ubisoft have managed to spew into its PC iteration, Resi 4 is, remains and ever more shall be one of the best games I've ever played. It's the best zombie shooter ever thrilling, inventive, exciting and persistent in its desire to throw countless ingenious set-pieces in your direction.

From the legendary early village assault to battles with shambling minions on cable cars, scuffles with lake monsters and l thrilling knife-battles with other members of the uninfected cast, Resident Evil 4 is carat gold dust that should be sampled by every self-respecting gamer on earth. Only not on PC - because when it's been so sloppily ported, it becomes obvious it doesn't belong here. Still - if for some reason you're unable to get it on console, I can't deny that you'll still have a lot of fun.

The rent check is a bit late, but Resident Evil is finally renewing its lease on terror. Leon S. Kennedy, who survived more than his fair share of horror while fighting his way out of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2 , goes straight to the source--Umbrella HQ--for the fourth proper chapter in this action-adventure series. RE4 looks to alter the genetics of both the series and the zombifying virus on which it's based: Writhing tentacles and humanoid figures materialize out of swirling black smoke, a severed stag head twitches on the floor, and Leon himself seems to be infected.

And you just may be able to witness these horrors from a first-person view. Series creator Shinji Mikami's advice? Another first for RE4: controllable vehicles. Part of the demo we saw showed Leon zooming around on a fishing boat, fighting a giant sea creature with a harpoon. Later, he was knocked into the water, demonstrating his new swimming ability. Apparently, the boat isnt the only thing you can drive, either. Yes, there will be other vehicles, says Producer Kobayashi, but Im not tellin you what they are yet!

Grab the eagle key. Stick the square-shaped crank into the square-shaped hole. Use the blue key card. What, another cratepushing puzzle? Sure, weve loved each new zombie-filled Resident Evil adventure not including the Survivor light-gun games of course let us never speak of them again. But even fans would agree the series hasnt changed much over the past eight years, right down to the obligatory self-destruct-countdown final boss battle.

Hell, even the games creators will admit it. Some gamers might say, Hey, its just another in the Resident Evil franchise.. So we asked, How do we call the gamers back again?
