Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I been a long time fan of Resident Evil and I wanted to make something entirely on it so I decided to create two lists on the best mini games as well as the worst.
I think it would be wise to start with the ones I wouldn't mine playing again and again for hours among hours.
5. Leech Hunter from Resident Evil 0
I like that you can choose between the normal outfits with the hidden ones while searching for those leeches.
You can leave at anytime collecting leeches through out the facility while you face more hunters than a handful of them in the main game.
The best part of this mini game is depending on how many leeches you collected unlocks a prize or more for the main game itself.
4. The 4th Survivor from Resident Evil 2
The first canonical mini game of the series as it stands as one of my personal favorites to this day.
I just love having an handgun, shotgun and magnum at my disposal fighting these monsters.
Your mission is basically to get from the sewers to the helipad to finish it.
Sadly you don't get to collect herbs or ammo through out the mini game yet a pretty fun game to play.
3. Extreme Battle from Resident Evil 2
I think many will agree that this was the best mini game of Resident Evil 2 ever made though if you have the game on N64 then you can't play it.
I like you have multiple difficulties with four characters you can play as including Chris Redfield.
It has some random enemy placement which means depending the difficulty you are playing it could be simple to pretty tough to beat.
You got to get from point a to b in the first two levels with the second level having two exits then you must search for four antivirus bombs to end the game.
2. Separate Ways from Resident Evil 4
I love how well designed this was even playing it for a few hours today I got to say it's the second best mini game I have ever played in Resident Evil series.
It plays like the main game even having that guy stealing you stuff it's awesome.
You also get two new weapons being Bowgun last seen in Resident Evil 2 though it has explosive arrows and an Pump Action Shotgun.
It's the second canonical mini game of the series following The 4th Survivor though it don't play like that.
It has five levels including the last one having two boss fights with Jack Krauser who you fight in other games except The Mercenaries and Osmund Saddler in his human form.
I like you get to use two different turrents to get through a level.
Sadly you can't upgrade your weapons like you can in the main game with Leon S. Kennedy.
1. The Mercenaries from Resident Evil 4
I want to say yes I have played the original Resident Evil 5 The Mercenaries and it was okay in my opinion though I did like playing with someone else.
I really love this mini game ever since I first played it.
Unlike the original The Mercenaries mini game from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis you have to collect time while killing enemies and level bosses to get five stars.
If you are good enough to unlock all four hidden characters and get every level done with each character with five stars then you unlock an Handcannon for the main game.
It plays so damn good that I must call it the best Resident Evil mini game I ever played in my entire life.
Now you know which ones I love how about the ones I hate...
5. Assignment Ada from Resident Evil 4
First off you can't buy weapons or items like you can in the main game or Separate Ways that also stars Ada Wong.
You also don't have a knife though she has one in Separate Ways meaning if you want to break stuff for ammo or items then you got to waste ammo to do so which is bullshit.
You must collect five samples of Las Plagas however Jack Krauser the boss of this mini game has one.
You have an okay selection of weapons though it barely helps you against all the J.J.s AKA the Gatling Gun guys they put in it.
You also can't save until you beat it which sucks a lot since it was in Resident Evil 4 that caught the world surprised by it's success.
You also don't have the hookshot which kills most of the fun Separate Ways had to it barely being played.
4. Tofu Mode from Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
This was clearly inspired by The Tofu Survivor where all of your enemies is replaced by tofus.
I hate how it plays the first level of Resident Evil 2 backward with some parts being really hard to survive.
You don't get to choose who you play as though it's obvious you're playing as Claire Redfield AKA Chris's sister.
You can't pause the game at all or choose any other weapon then an handgun not upgraded at all.
It isn't even on the same screen with the levels it's on the main screen where in most games you have start and option.
I still haven't beaten it though a few times I did get close that's how bad this fucker is.
3. The Mercenaries: Operation Mad Jackal from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
I am aware that many fans enjoy this mini game however I don't in fact I hate it.
You play as three Umbrella soldiers trying to get from point A to B while being pretty hard to play.
I wasn't good enough to score big but I do like you still get points to add up to buying stuff.
Like The 4th and Tofu Survivor you can't collect ammo or items to help you get further in the game.
You can increase time by dodging enemies as while as killing them though you are in a big hurry to finish it.
Nemesis is spotted in a few areas which is a problem because unlike Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X in Resident Evil 2 he won't leave you alone and fights with either tentacles or his rocket launcher.
You can't play as Jill Valentine does suck especially for older fans of the series like myself who love the S.T.A.R.S. members.
2. The Tofu Survivor from Resident Evil 2
I will confess this one I couldn't beat either though I got close.
You only have a knife, two green herbs and one blue herb that doesn't compared to The 4th Survivor which was fun to play.
You make weird noises and your character doesn't speak English except for the beginning mirroring Hunk.
The best thing about the mini game was it can take more damage than any other characters in the entire game.
I like that with okay score screen that's supposed to be funny.
1. Bonus Stage from Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
I really hate this mini game with a deep passion because it's so fucking stupid.
You shoot nothing but zombies who act so strange.
If you get hit just once you're dead I shit you not that's how fast you can lose the game.
It's also obvious that you're playing as Rebecca Chambers with no selection of weapons similar to Tofu Mode in the sequel.
I found out online that the very last zombie must be taken out with a critical shot which was bullshit.
I think the biggest bullshit behind this game was you must beat all the levels including the hidden ones to unlock this one now whose fucking idea was that anyway.
It's so bad that I can't find a mini game in Resident Evil series that is this bad I'm dead fucking serious.
So I hope you enjoy and I will try to write more blog entries thank you for your time.
