User Rating: 9.6 | Resident Evil GC
The previous resident evil series I had all seen and personally could not enjoy playing a game with cartoon looking 2d look a like child pastings onto a screen, I’m sorry I just have to have good graphics to be satisfied . Skipping ahead to when I finally got the game :)…. I found the audio was superb, how the footsteps sounded different depending what you were stepping on and all the other freaky sounds you’d expect made the game certainly have the most eerie and scary atmosphere I have played yet. Graphically I was amazed, my mouth must of remained open and drooling from start to end I swear, they visuals were so crisp and detailed I wondered how dare they show those pictures I had seen littered across the net in the blurred insanity before hand. I would have to say graphically I have never seen anything even close to Gamecube resident evil on any console to date, and I’m doubtful we will see anything in comparison on the Xbox either. One raved game on Xbox e.g. Splinter cell has very nice lighting effects but graphically it is average, at any given time you struggle to even see 30% the detail in the environments as seen in resident evil, splinter cell merely like a magic trick distracts your vision with the lights and leaves you ignorant of the poor environmental details. As a idea perhaps try also a 3rd person view however give the camera more movement, so as you come to a corner from behind view the camera will follow you on the start of the turn and follow you just coming round the other side the corner then switch to next camera view, this way you get to see more graphics :) and thus perhaps excluding the hiding zombies which refuse to come into you camera view without you bumping into them first on next camera view. Great game!! a must have, hell buy a GC just for RE!!!
