Play RE2 in the dark = soil yourself. Jumpy scare tactics and haunting music make this game better than most movies.

Claire and Leon seem like a couple of good people, the kind that you really want to help out. When they wander into a zombie town, however, all you can think is, "I am so glad that isn't me."
Resident Evil 2 plays on the jumpy gamers fears with excellent music and sudden piss-your-pants scare tactics. The story progresses from the first RE revolving around Umbrella Corp.'s continuing experiments with a zombie virus. The heroes are forced to find out the evil plot as they struggle to get out of Raccoon City.
The game is a pioneer in horror games. It was meant to play in the dark and if you do, it won't disappoint. The problems with RE2 are few and once you get into the groove, they are barely noticed. The only constant annoyance is inventory management. The balancing act can send you running for a supply box if you are under-prepared.
Even though it is a single player game, it can almost be enjoyed as a movie... a cheesy movie, but a good movie nevertheless. Worth it 100%.
