Still a classic game, and great port of one of the best survival horror games of '96.
Classic game that really open the door for the survival horror genre, and other games to follows in its design path. What made this great made ( or for me) when I played it many years ago was that you have to fight monsters (zombies, hunters, snakes, etc) while trying to conserve your ammo and herbs. Another favorite was the way the game tries to jump out and scare you when you least expect it! For example you may be walking down a hallway when a dog plows right through a window when you least expect.
Differences: Original vs. Port
Both games are the same, with the exception, the port contains three new features; multiplayer, reborn, and surivival. Multiplayer is basically two players are either competing in a race or working as a team to work their way to the end of the scenario. Unfortunatly, the downfall of this aspect is that you can't actually see the other player, more as you see a star where the other suppose to be, taking away the realism aspect. I can't really say anything more else on that because I haven't been able to play it yet.
Reborn is the basically is the same as the main game, except minigames games have been added to different parts of, some fun, while some frustrating. Most of the minigames you'll come across will pit you in a knife battle against different foes ( zombies, dogs, crows, etc). the fun part about these knife battles is that it uses the touch screen in where you can make different kinds of slices, plus the challenges do get challenging, but not to a point where its gets frustating or have to retry many times. Last are the puzzle minigames, where it can get frustrating =( , such puzzles include using your knife to hit the corresponding buttons that light up can be annoying as you have to do it quick and not hit Chris's/Jill's fingers in the process.
Survival is where you compete in a series of knife battles, simiar to the ones in reborn. Unfortunatly I can't tell you any more because I haven't unlocked the feature in the game.
Conclusion
Really this game is probably gonna be more enjoyable to fans of the series or suvival horror fans. If you like old games, and don't care much about graphics, then this game may just be what your looking for!
