Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I reviewed Zombiepowder not too long ago now here's something I'm a big fan of ever since I start watching the anime.
Note: I decide to make this an series of reviews that will be posted very close by each other.
Tite Kubo shortly after the cancellation of Zombiepowder sent the company Bleach which got rejected however thanks to Akira Toriyama AKA the author of Dragon Ball he tried again.
Originally like One Piece it was going to last for five years however it's popularity convinced the author to keep on writing it.
He made the story much better than it was in the chapter he origianlly sent them with some noticable changes.
Which includes Ichigo's hair color, after Rukia giving Ichigo her power don't change in size and instead of Ohrime's dad you'll get her brother.
Before I start actually talking about the story I wanted to do an quick comparison between the author's main works.
1. Both involve the main character that has an big sword
2. Both involve the dead in the story
3. Both have unique enemies that will surprised many readers
4. Both are known for their violence
I know a lot of people who has finished reading Zombiepowder and still going with Bleach do call it an spiritual successor which is true.
Now on with the story I will confess that some people don't understand it enough to not read or watch the anime.
It's about an High School Student named Ichigo Kurosaki who has the abilities to see the dead then one day runs into Rukia who is an Soul Reaper.
She ends up giving him her power becoming an Substitue Soul Reaper who has to do Rukia's job until she can get her powers back.
I will stop it there because if I got even further it will spoil the story and I will be criticized for doing that.
Soul Reapers are not to be confused with Shinigamis of Death Note because instead having an book writing people's name that kills them.
You get people that send good spirit to where they below while killing Hollows which are the opposite.
I really like a lot of the characters in Bleach that I am going to do my own personal top 5 list right here, right now...
Note: I won't include any characters introduced in the anime in the seasons not based on the manga neither the movies.
I decide instead of making an best and worst why not do one for heroes as well as for the villains because they fucking deserve it.
Heroes
5. Byakuya Kuchiki
Byakuya is one of the coolest captains in the Soul Society though he's fast with one rememberable Banki ever seen in the series.
His sister Rukia is currently his closest relative as he cares for her even in times it appears he don't.
He is widely known as the first opponent of Ichigo to face both his Bankai and his inter Hollow side.
He's usually very serious about his job even making quick decisions that could kill him.
He always finds an way to make it out alive though I do want to see more of them in future chapters of Bleach.
4. Renji Abarai
Byakuya's right hand guy is one bad ass dude in fact I still remember reading the part of the manga where Ichigo beat him at his full strength.
His Zanpakuto is fucking awesome as it moves like an snake yes I'm not kidding even his Bankai stands as one of my personal favorite Bankais of the series.
He also gets credit for looking the most bad ass out of all the lieutenants in the Soul Society.
3. Toshiro Hitsugaya
Toshiro is an pretty cool guy though he's currently the youngest captain of the Soul Society.
I have an thing for dragons and his Bankai was fucking awesome because he can control the weather however his powers have yet to mature.
He's quite smart even being one of the shortest captains they ever had it's his knowledge that makes an worthy opponent.
2. Kenpachi Zaraki
Kenpachi is one fucking son of an bitch I mean we are talking about an guy who likes getting cut by his enemies even letting them cut too deep.
I love his sword because I haven't seen many swords like that though there's an few I could name it won't top this one.
The only thing I don't like about him is his lieutenant I mean why an fucking little girl out of all things.
Honorable mentions
1. Kisuke Urahara
2. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto
3. Izuru Kira
4. Sajin Komamura
5. Ikkaku Madarame
6. Mayuri Kurotsuchi
1. Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo was the main character who so happens to be my favorite hero character of Bleach.
He has his Zanpakuto with his inter Hollow making him one of the toughest characters ever to appear in an manga.
I love his Bankai a lot in fact he's like Neo of Bleach with one of the most awesome swords ever.
Villains
5. Ulquiorra Cifer
Ulquiorra was an espada before he met his end by Ichigo but I actually like his personality.
He's the only espada to have two release forms that looks more like an bat or a few evil Digimons.
4. Nnoitra Jiruga
Nnoitra was such an asshole especially to Kenpachi who his rival was that ultimately ended his life.
He has many arms in his release form with the same weapon making him someone you can't get too close to.
I was surprised to find out that his big despair so happens to be the same thing that two villains in Yu Yu Hakusho wanted.
He wanted to die by someone stronger than him giving his and that's the happiest you will ever see him.
3. Sosuke Aizen
Sosuke is the main villain of the series however for numerous reasons for me he wasn't the one I really like the most.
He's on top of his game kicking so many people's ass while becoming more powerful since he wants to become King of Soul Society.
He's one cold bastard for doing half the shit he does to people like he wanted what breaks the boundaries of Soul Reapers and Hollows ultimately creating Arrancars.
2. Hollow Ichigo
Hollow Ichigo is the opposite of the normal Ichigo in pretty much every way even their swords look parallel.
Ichigo has three spirits inside which are his own, Zanpakuto and the Hollow one that so happens to be my favorite.
Usually you do see him training with Ichigo though he does have some moments where he briefly comes out especially in the anime.
Not including Aizen he would be the strongest villain of the entire series thought since he is an part of Ichigo it's actually an fact that the Hollow side is stronger.
Honorable mentions
1. Baraggan Luisenbarn
2. Szayel Aporro Granz
3. Aaroniero Arruruerie
4. Yammy Rivalgo
5. Gin Ichimaru
1. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Grimmjow was the espada rival of Ichigo and my favorite villain of Bleach ever I fucking love this guy.
What an asshole as he wants to fight the strong while killing off the weak kinda like Kenpachi except he simply ignores them.
I will go on record saying his usual look but I fucking love his release form which was an Hollow Cat that looks an Panther.
I also noticed if you look at both his looks that he looks the closest out of all the characters of Bleach to the author's first main character Gamma from Zombiepowder.
His personality is like me in the inside though I'm not that cold actually I'm an very nice guy in person when you get to know me.
The action gets better as you go reading it in fact to be honest I prefer this over Naruto yet I'm debating between Bleach and One Piece.
Yu Yu Hakusho was pretty good I wish it would tell more details about how everyone's doing at least that's what I think.
The comedy was okay for me I prefer One Piece or Dragon Ball but I got to say the author really wanted this to be an hit.
In conclusion Bleach is my favorite manga I ever got into and I have finished reading many of them while continuing to read those still going.

Jack Red presents Professional Mode comparison
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, now I just beat both Resident Evil 4 and 5 on Professional Mode to see which one was harder to complete.
Note: Resident Evil 4 was the last main series game with you making multiple save slots meaning you can't unlock what you got in one game then bring it to another.
The closest thing to that would be Resident Evil 5 and The Darkside Chronicles which is an nice feature.
Let's start with how you unlock them now both require you beating the game however for Resident Evil 5 you must beat Veteran Mode to get it.
Professional Mode for Resident Evil 4 was like Veteran Mode of Resident Evil 5 which is true if you think about it.
Professional Mode was Hard Mode in Resident Evil 4 then they decide to make even tougher by making it basically an Very Hard Mode.
Enemies take more bullets to kill, increase damage and faster reaction at action sequences is an part of both however Resident Evil 5 pushed it an step further.
Enemies on that mode in Resident Evil 4 isn't critical compared to Resident Evil 5 which was even by the more common enemies of the fucking game.
Resident Evil 4 originally didn't give you anything new besides what you already unlocked then here comes it's PS2 port with one of the best hidden weapons ever made.
Some of you must be thinking what do you get if you somehow beat Resident Evil 5 well I'll tell you an achievement and Noise effect that's it.
I'm sorry but I was expecting something more than those like why not being able to play Wesker's side of the story up to his death.
I did die a lot in Resident Evil 4's but you can't possibly imagine how often I died in Resident Evil 5's oh yeah it's bullshit.
I must bring in Turok for an moment as the following statement doesn't involve Resident Evil 4 now have you played games where the difficulties were close then out of no where the last one is nearly impossible.
I already mastered Turok so I can use that in this comparison though I think Resident Evil 4 was an more solid game.
I got one more thing to say I heard around the time when I had Xbox Live that Wesker and Jill on Professional Mode was really hard well guess what they're right.
I died the most on Chapter 5-3 because not including the Lickers the boss fight was nearly impossible to beat.
You will be lucky if you can deliver Wesker enough damage to fight Jill by herself and just in case you were wondering yes I had the hidden weapons on me.
I felt most bosses of Resident Evil 4 were easy with some bosses in Resident Evil 5 being somewhat of an pain.
In conclusion I like Professional Mode in Resident Evil 4 but hated it in Resident Evil 5.

Jack Red reviews Resident Evil Chronicles series
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I wanted to do this for an while though it would suck if I made it into an video.
I want to review Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles again however this time I also want to review it's prequel as I go more in depth with it.
I guess I should give you guys a little history originally the first Resident Evil was going to be first person but that didn't happen.
A few years later an game released on PlayStation called Resident Evil: Survivor now surprisingly outside of the United States you can use an light gun.
I believe the original version of Resident Evil Code: Veronica was release the same year as Survivor with the updated version an year later.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica has an mini game called Battle Game with both first and third person which makes it an unique mini game for the series.
Sadly outside of the United States they decide to make an follow up to Resident Evil: Survivor though it isn't an sequel in fact it's an direct spin off of Code: Veronica that made Gun Survivor an series.
Capcom decided to make another game in the series however instead of Resident Evil like most game of the series they decide to use Dino Crisis.
In America it's called Dino Stalker which many thought it was an standalone game yet it wasn't that plays like Sega Jurassic Park games.
After making the black sheep of Gun Survivor series they decided to make one more game in the series that turns out to be their best Resident Evil: Dead Aim.
This game was unique since it plays in first and third person like Resident Evil Code: Veronica but better as you get more weapons.
Capcom decide to create Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles exclusively for the Wii though it's an rail shooter like The House of the Dead series.
In an sense Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles with it's sequel were spiritual successors to Gun Survivor series.
It's time to start reviewing them though to be honest I will confess that there's a few games I want to compare.
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles recreates Resident Evil 0, 1, a little bit of 2 and 3: Nemesis with an new scenario that's now a part of the timeline.
This game has many playable characters such as Chris, Jill, Carlos, Rebecca, Ada, Hunk and even the infamous Wesker.
I love your choice of levels as well as weapons though I don't like you only can pick one for each level though you can find more weapons through out the levels.
They made the game very fun as you can shoot stuff everywhere even that Umbrella logo on the loading screen now doesn't that kick ass.
You will find files from destroying all kind of shit but they had to ruin it with the same files can be found again which makes no sense.
They did reused some of the story from the games which makes it won't be fully canonical but they did try really hard I actually like some of the changes they made.
It doesn't play straight forward like most Resident Evil games which an interesting idea.
I also love fighting most bosses though a few of them are an pain of my ass such as T.A.L.O.S. or Sergei.
You can unlock the sub scenarios including all the Wesker levels but I was disappointed with Hunk's scenario.
If you played Resident Evil 2 then you might be familiar with The 4th Survivor well that mini game was fun now this can be too tough for many considering how well you use your weapons.
Sadly you have to beat it to unlock Death's Door and play as the same characters with two players.
One thing I really don't like is you can't take what you have in one difficulty to another like an handful of games.
Why is that an problem well I'll tell you if you really want unlimited ammo for every weapon then it will take a lot of time to do so or go play another game of the series instead.
I really hate how tough the Russia scenario can get especially if you have a ton of ammo with many weapons you got to be good at the game.
The reason I'm telling you that is because almost every enemy you faced in the entire game will appear here including another Giant Bat WTF.
You will be rated for stars you can use to upgrade your weapons however you can't upgrade your handgun.
Here's something that will piss many people off the stars take forever to get the amount you'll need to upgrade your weapon.
Speaking of upgrading you don't do that in pieces like it's sequel or The House of the Dead: Overkill.
Death's Door for me was the worst scenario of the entire game because you are already low in life meaning don't fuck around and make good decisions if you want to survive it.
The last bad thing I got to say about the game is it's mini game Bonus Stage which fucking sucks I already said in another blog entry that it's the worst mini game of the series.
To unlock it you must beat every scenario of the game then play something that sucks more ass than Death's Door I'm dead fucking serious.
In conclusion it's an good game but it isn't my favorite spin off of the series.
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is an sequel to The Umbrella Chronicles with some good improvements.
This game covers Resident Evil 2, Code: Veronica and an new scenario that was also added to the timeline.
It was easier to tell what is canonical and what's not if you are an hardcore fan of the series like me.
You play as Leon, Claire, Steve, Krauser and Chris in only one level but I am still okay with this.
I mean sure you get fewer weapons but upgrading them is a hell lot of easier than those fucking stars in the previous.
I love upgrading weapons in this game since it's similar to The House of the Dead: Overkill which you upgrade each part of them even your handgun.
You can even find some gold through out the levels especially the final level which has two endings to it.
Unlike The Umbrella Chronicles there isn't any sub scenarios but there's two hidden version of the last two levels that explains why Krauser joined Wesker in Resident Evil 4.
If you play these levels than you can only play as Krauser while hearing his thoughts about what's going on.
I'm disappointed they also didn't brought back playing as the same character it's like the opposite of Resident Evil: Outbreak series happened.
If you played either Outbreak game then you know what I'm getting at in the first one you can't play the same character despite those were hidden characters with the main ones voice yet the next one cut the bullshit.
This game still has some good bosses but it isn't as interesting as the previous one I mean the last one alone had seven types of Tyrants you get to face.
I actually like how some of them are done such as fighting the Crocodile won't be boring like it was in Resident Evil 2.
I got to say that the last boss was incredibly easy compared to fighting either T.A.L.O.S. or Sergei that was tough.
Alexia in the last level for Code: Veronica was nearly impossibe that you got to be tough in order to win I'm dead serious.
I also like you get outfits you can wear while playing as your characters now they should've been in the previous game.
I sadly only got one thing left to talk about though it isn't good to talk about ok if you played The Tofu Survivor in Resident Evil 2 they made an mini game homage to that.
Tofu Mode was pretty bad yet it's easier for me to play it than the last one's Bonus Stage which I really fucking hate.
All of your enemies are tofus yes I'm not kidding now why in the holy ass did they recycle the first level for Resident Evil 2 then turn it backwards now who in the holy ass does that.
Now it gets tough near the end however even I didn't finish it I will confess I'd rather play that then Assignment: Ada which isn't fun unless you rush the fuck out of it.
I know what some of you guys are thinking didn't I put Tofu Mode over Assignment: Ada
while yes I did but for an reason.
I got to be honest it was close between the two mini games because you can only play as one character with limited weapons yet I felt I can play Tofu Mode better despite dying so close to the end.
I also prefer Tofu Mode over Assignment: Ada because I thought fighting tofus may be stupid yet I find it more fun then wasting too much ammo and getting killed.
I can memorize Tofu Mode better than Assignment: Ada now I'm not just saying that because it's an rail shooter.
I'm saying that because it's harder to remember where most enemies are though I often remember where the J.J.s are which is an good thing.
Now Tofu Mode makes you used an handgun that isn't upgraded at all yet it's more useful then what Ada had in that mini game I mean come on Separate Ways was fucking fun to play.
I got to say besides some things that I actually prefer this one over the original game because I just love how fun it is at times.
I want to review Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles again however this time I also want to review it's prequel as I go more in depth with it.

Jack Red presents Resident Evil Original vs. Remake
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, now I believe there's a debate among Resident Evil fans which version of Resident Evil 1 is better.
The original classic that got released on PlayStation or the remake on Game Cube make your choice...
Sadly it's an tough debate because both of them are really good games in fact many people can't decide which one to go with.
Resident Evil inspired by George A. Romero's Dead series which was also inspiration for Dead Rising series and Sweet Home an Japanese only NES game.
Capcom asked the team behind Resident Evil to make an similar game to Sweet Home and this is what we got.
Before I get right to it I did try this before though it was with my old webcam where I need to rush it so I feel bad for releasing it on YouTube.
I never finished playing the original game so parts of this comparison will be based on other resources including my guide book.
Opening Scene
I know a lot of you guys wouldn't want to include this in an comparison but I feel it does make this topic more interesting.
The original opening have actual actors doing the sames with the Cerberuses looking mean as shit.
The remake did like the other games however I rather watch the opening to Resident Evil 2 instead.
In the original it seems like an horror movie where an group of people get lost then they started getting killed I just love that effect though their acting kinda sucks.
In the remake it shows more with Joseph's death not being as scary plus they did throw in some moments like Chris was about to get attacked until Wesker shot that Cerberus.
The remake explains more about what has taken place in the forest though you actually get to see who was responsible for that and more in Resident Evil 0.
I think it's obvious that the original opening was so much better I mean a lot of the fans still remembered it to this day so point goes to the original.
Story
They have the same story where S.T.A.R.S. Alpha goes to Arklay Forest searching S.T.A.R.S. Bravo until they ran into trouble were forced to go inside the Mansion not knowing what horror lurks there.
The characters were good in the original yet I like the newer stuff with Chris and Jill more such as draining the tank you must first get the shutters down then drain it was intense.
There exists five endings in the game which was directly taken from Sweet Home now depending on some decisions you make will give you an the ending matching how well you played the game.
It is pretty close though the remake gave us a lot more information about what has happened there.
A point goes to the remake as the added part to the overall really fit well together.
Game Play
I wanted to say to that I played two versions of the original on the PlayStation with Director's Cut getting some serious attention.
Seriously just when you thought most remakes suck major balls this one was able to be one of the greatest games ever made.
In the original after you beat the game you got to go to the room where you must enter through another room with the Helmet Key to wear your outfits.
In the remake just after you beat the game you can start another one where you go into the room with the statue then there is an painting or at least you thought it was an painting actually was an door.
If you beat the game fast enough you can also unlock an Rocket Launcher however the original actually gives you the one you get at the end to beat the Tyrant with infinite ammo.
Surprising it was an different rocket launcher that wasn't in the game until you unlocked it that later appears in Resident Evil 0.
Now you also can unlock an unlimited ammo handgun that has burst fire called Samurai Edge though when you get in one of those box it's called an handgun with an infinity symbol.
I actually prefer the sound effects such as Zombies or firing an weapon as the ones in the remake aren't too bad but too similar to the other games.
I really like the original inventory screen more because it's easier to see what you got than in the remake where you will see an black background with an stoneish looking screen.
Keep in mind that the remake's engine was reused for Resident Evil 0 to increase the hype of the series in that year.
I will say this much that Zombies in the remake look scary especially the Crimson Heads however I thought the original was much more scarier.
For example you get to see at the beginning of the game where an Zombie eating Kenneth now I really like how the Zombie turns around in the original at the time I first saw that I got scared.
The remake's version you get to see Kenneth dies with the Zombie turning around it just wasn't as close as scary as the original I'm sorry.
I really like that the typewriters are easier to find in the original yet I like at an handful of them are nearby gasoline which is needed to prevent Crimson Heads in the games.
The puzzles in the original were fun yet besides the newer ones in the remake I didn't like where some items were moved to but it's fine.
Can you believe that three puzzles are needed to be complete to get three out of four masks with an boss fight with Yawn is needed to fight yet another boss.
The enemies with me almost finishing the Director's Cut compared to playing the fuck out of the remake I can say it's also pretty close here.
Before I start talking about the enemies and bosses in the game I need to say this for the record the remake is the only game with the original game play style that enemies can break through doors even Hunters.
I said to myself holy shit and when I first saw an Hunter breaking through an door oh fuck.
Zombies I prefer them in the original because they look and sound scarier with a few of them being on the ground waiting to eat you.
In the remake Zombies are assholes because after you kill them in most areas then you must burn them to prevent their transformation into the Crimson Heads.
You can also blow their heads off but it depends how you shoot them like sometimes in an distance you can make their heads explode.
Cerberuses in the original were scarier than the ones in the remake because they look more like an monster and breaking through the windows look scarier.
In the remake they aren't too bad but they are still an pain to kill however I didn't like how they recreate the scene when you open the front doors once.
I mean in the original that shit would scared the shit out of you especially when you are an kid like I was when I first played it.
Hunters are easier to kill in the remake yet they don't fuck around in the original at all I died so many fucking times by them.
Sure in the remake Hunters can track you down in the Mansion yet if you ever play the original game be on your fucking guard because they will kill you so fast that you won't even be able to say fuck in time.
Neptunes can't be killed in the original unless you drained the tank however in the remake you can straight out kill them with the big one being fried.
All the other enemies are pretty much the same though in the remake you get new death animation which looks good.
I really like Yawn's look in the remake over the original which doesn't look interesting to me besides an death animation where you can be swallowed whole.
In the remake Yawn can crush you to death which isn't too bad but being swallowed is tough to compete with.
I did like the look of Plant 42 in the remake however I actually like how it looked in the original more.
Black Tiger wasn't an pain for me to deal with in the original yet it sure wants to kill you in the remake.
Sadly I can't do the compared of actually fighting the Tyrant in the original but I will compared that infamous scene that many fans like.
Many fans love this scene where Wesker turns out to be the traitor and he is going to release the Tyrant however something goes wrong.
In the original the Tyrant breaks out of that tube and walks over in between Chris or Jill and Wesker than kills you know who now I confess that was pretty good.
In the remake the Tyrant flat out used his claw through the tube and Wesker which was awesome now depending on who you picked he will get clawed from the back or front make your choice.
I got to say I really like that change a lot because it sure scarier because when you first thought the Tyrant was going to get out and do what it did in the original it doesn't.
I still need to talk about the two new bosses added to the game as they sure bring on the fear in the eyes of many.
The first new boss you will faced shortly after Yawn is the Crimson Head Prototype 1 now in the original you would have an while before fighting Plant 42.
The fast way to beat this boss is if you picked Chris keep one Flash Grenade and let him grab you this will activate your self defense weapon.
This is the most helpful self defense weapon because it will kill what ever you used it on rather than hurting them before they get back up.
In the original they did release an Director's Cut which has an new variation of the game called Arranged Mode that I really like.
Note: Arranged Mode in Resident Evil 2 is different as you still get all the ammo you would on Easy Mode in Rookie Mode with the hidden weapons already unlocked for it.
It changes where items and monsters are making the game harder yet with an code to double your ammo sure helps.
The remake has two of it's own variation that made the game even harder to beat in fact it was one of the hardest titles in the entire series to finish.
The first variation is called Real Survivor Mode now to unlock it you need to beat the game on Normal or Hard.
Basically it was originally going to be how the game plays but they thought it was too hard for people so they decide out of no where gives us that version of it.
You can't auto aim in this version with the boxes no longer carries automatically to another one which means you must remember which one you put some of your stuff in or you have an problem.
If you can beat that variation of it then the hardest one will be unlocked in fact so hard that only those who mastered the toughest of the series can do it I'm dead fucking serious it's that tough.
It's called Invisible Enemy mode where all of your enemies are completely invisible with no auto aim which means you must plan it out perfectly or you're fucked.
If you can beat that then you can see all the unused stuff which is nice that they do reward you it.
I got to call this one an draw because they both have an good yin yang balance so I don't know which one I prefer off hand sorry.
I want make it official both of them are on my Top 5 Resident Evil Games though I didn't say the original game spares the spot.
I do apologize on that I will confess that I got Asperger synodrome so some stuff will slipped by me with half the time I won't know until it's too late.
So I hope you enjoy and I been making some mistakes on my posts but I will somehow fix it.
The original classic that got released on PlayStation or the remake on Game Cube make your choice...
Sadly it's an tough debate because both of them are really good games in fact many people can't decide which one to go with.
Resident Evil inspired by George A. Romero's Dead series which was also inspiration for Dead Rising series and Sweet Home an Japanese only NES game.
Capcom asked the team behind Resident Evil to make an similar game to Sweet Home and this is what we got.
Before I get right to it I did try this before though it was with my old webcam where I need to rush it so I feel bad for releasing it on YouTube.
I never finished playing the original game so parts of this comparison will be based on other resources including my guide book.
Opening Scene
I know a lot of you guys wouldn't want to include this in an comparison but I feel it does make this topic more interesting.
The original opening have actual actors doing the sames with the Cerberuses looking mean as shit.
The remake did like the other games however I rather watch the opening to Resident Evil 2 instead.
In the original it seems like an horror movie where an group of people get lost then they started getting killed I just love that effect though their acting kinda sucks.
In the remake it shows more with Joseph's death not being as scary plus they did throw in some moments like Chris was about to get attacked until Wesker shot that Cerberus.
The remake explains more about what has taken place in the forest though you actually get to see who was responsible for that and more in Resident Evil 0.
I think it's obvious that the original opening was so much better I mean a lot of the fans still remembered it to this day so point goes to the original.
Story
They have the same story where S.T.A.R.S. Alpha goes to Arklay Forest searching S.T.A.R.S. Bravo until they ran into trouble were forced to go inside the Mansion not knowing what horror lurks there.
The characters were good in the original yet I like the newer stuff with Chris and Jill more such as draining the tank you must first get the shutters down then drain it was intense.
There exists five endings in the game which was directly taken from Sweet Home now depending on some decisions you make will give you an the ending matching how well you played the game.
It is pretty close though the remake gave us a lot more information about what has happened there.
A point goes to the remake as the added part to the overall really fit well together.
Game Play
I wanted to say to that I played two versions of the original on the PlayStation with Director's Cut getting some serious attention.
Seriously just when you thought most remakes suck major balls this one was able to be one of the greatest games ever made.
In the original after you beat the game you got to go to the room where you must enter through another room with the Helmet Key to wear your outfits.
In the remake just after you beat the game you can start another one where you go into the room with the statue then there is an painting or at least you thought it was an painting actually was an door.
If you beat the game fast enough you can also unlock an Rocket Launcher however the original actually gives you the one you get at the end to beat the Tyrant with infinite ammo.
Surprising it was an different rocket launcher that wasn't in the game until you unlocked it that later appears in Resident Evil 0.
Now you also can unlock an unlimited ammo handgun that has burst fire called Samurai Edge though when you get in one of those box it's called an handgun with an infinity symbol.
I actually prefer the sound effects such as Zombies or firing an weapon as the ones in the remake aren't too bad but too similar to the other games.
I really like the original inventory screen more because it's easier to see what you got than in the remake where you will see an black background with an stoneish looking screen.
Keep in mind that the remake's engine was reused for Resident Evil 0 to increase the hype of the series in that year.
I will say this much that Zombies in the remake look scary especially the Crimson Heads however I thought the original was much more scarier.
For example you get to see at the beginning of the game where an Zombie eating Kenneth now I really like how the Zombie turns around in the original at the time I first saw that I got scared.

Jack Red presents Big Announcement
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, before I get to the surprise I checked Resident Evil 5 to see if Chris and Jill were BSAA when they went to Russia to stop Umbrella for good however it turns out they weren't.
I made another blog entry where I compare S.T.A.R.S. to BSAA where I thought they were BSAA for that event so I do apologize.
Now with that out of the way I will take any request you guys give me and try to make it into an good review even if I'm forced to pull all of my strings to do it.
So once again I'm sorry for not knowing they were with another organization and I hope you all enjoy my blog good bye.

Jack Red presents Resident Evil Game vs. Movie
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, now I really wanted to do so bad despite how much I got to work with on this topic.
I want to just do an comparison between the classic game and okay movie to help those understand why fans such as me and Cornshaq don't like em.
Before I get to the actual comparison I just wanted to say for those who got to read my review on the movies of the series that I made an mistake.
It was an easy mistake to make since I should've looked into it though everything else I did.
Basically the team that was in the first movie wasn't S.T.A.R.S. it was U.B.C.S. so I do apologize I didn't know at the time I was making that blog entry.
I wanted to say real fast that I just wanted to do the original game with the remake against the first movie.
So I might bring up the other movies and games but I want to keep this comparison where I want it.
Alright let's get start it all started with an game called Resident Evil released in 1996 on Sony PlayStation.
It was inspired by earlier Japanese only game Sweet Home and Romero's Dead Series that made the Survival Horror genre popular.
Originally it was going to be an standalone game but it quickly became an franchise as it stands as Capcom's top selling series of all time even over such series as Mega Man wow.
Now there was going to be an movie that started in 1999 with George A. Romero that's right the man behind the movies that inspired the games as well as Dead Rising series.
Sadly one asshole producer didn't like it though everyone else loved the script so he was fired then many years later Paul W. S. Anderson who directed Mortal Kombat got the job.
Then that's where fans started to get pissed with the first movie released in 2002 now I said this before but it was the year that fans on the Game Cube got the remake of the classic and Resident Evil 0 which was an prequel.
Now I got that out of the way let's directly compared two two for fans that are new to the games to understand why we hate the movies.
First off in the game you play as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha as you must get through the horrors that lurks in the Spencer Mansion.
If you select Chris then at some parts in the game you do get to play Rebecca Chambers of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo who is also one of the two main characters of the prequel.
You fight Zombies, Cerberuses, Web Spinners, Crows, Chimeras, Neptunes, Hunters, Adders and Wasps through out the game.
In the remake you get to face Crimson Heads which are the next step up in the T-Virus evolution after Zombies.
The bosses in the game include Yawn an giant snake, Plant 42 an overgrown plant, Black Tiger which is bigger than Web Spinners and Tyrant-002 an experimental model.
The new bosses included the remake were Lisa Trevor and Crimson Head Prototype 1 though it's easy to beat both of them.
I love how well designed a lot of the puzzles were though the remake had one involving a few puzzles with the death masks that ends with an boss fight with Crimson Head Prototype 1.
The music had fitting songs to the game that gives you an scary atmosphere that many will remember for an long time.
In the end it turns out that Umbrella was behind everything and Barry Burton an good friend of the main characters was forced into helping their captain Albert Wesker.
His plan was to get S.T.A.R.S. Alpha into the Mansion to collect battle data and hope it kills them all what an asshole.
After they destroyed Tyrant-002 the four remaining S.T.A.R.S. Alpha members Jill, Chris, Barry and Brad with Rebecca being the sole survivor of S.T.A.R.S. Bravo as they escaped in an Helicopter.
There is a lot of endings even with both characters though the remake has gives you more of them.
That was the classic game now it's time for the movie has mixed reviews though many hardcore fans flat out hate it.
The T-Virus gets released in The Hive where all the employees of Umbrella died because an computer program called Red Queen thought that was the best course of action.
Our hero named Alice joins U.B.C.S. with Matt as they go into The Hive which is a couple fall underground.
Red Queen killed a few members with laser which later got into the game with Resident Evil 4 and The Umbrella Chronicles.
After they turned her off Zombies, Cerberuses and secretly an Licker were lurking around.
Every member of U.B.C.S. died had pretty gruesome deaths in the movie.
Alice got out in time with Matt though got infected which later became The Nemesis in the next movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
She ends up waking up in an Hospital where she walks outside starting the next movie what the fuck right.
The only good thing I can say about the movie is I love the music though the monsters were done right enough for me to not bitch about them.
So that was the movie now it's time for my favorite part of this blog entry let's criticize the fuck out of the movie.
First off I know many fans were expecting me to say it but where the fuck is S.T.A.R.S. at.
I mean we get no Jill, Chris, Rebecca, Barry or even Wesker why god damnit they were in the original script but not in this fucking movie.
What an big disappointment we ended up getting
Alice was the main character of the movies yet in the games they like to change them up which makes it interesting.
I don't really mine Alice or anything it just she becomes super human through out the movies which is why I actually care more about the ones you play as in the fucking games.
Another big complaint I have against the movie is the lack of enemies I mean you have Zombies, Cerberuses and Licker.
Why not use the Hunters I'm sure many good parts of the movie would have them in it.
Oh god why the fuck isn't the Tyrant from the original game in this movie it's so aaaasssssss no I take that back it's fucking bullshit that Hollywood does this shit.
Licker made it's first appearance in Resident Evil 2 which so happens to be my favorite game of the series now why did they decide to take an monster from another game then stick it to the movie.
The Hive wasn't originally from the games though in Resident Evil: Outbreak there was an scenario named after it.
Sadly it's in place of the Lab beneath the Mansion in the game which kinda pisses me off in fact it looks like it will fall off at any minute with all the people inside of it.
Here's an interesting fact now it's funny that in Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis an character needs to be cured before it's too late yet with an experimental antidotes they survived.
I know what you guys are thinking didn't they also have two characters in Resident Evil 4 with the Las Plagas that got it out of them at the end yes it does count though they didn't used injections to be cured.
Now in the movies out of no where they tell you that there's an Anti-virus why in the hell did they had to do that fucking dicks.
I believe it was Extreme Battle in Resident Evil 2 where in the final level you must have four Anti-virus bombs oh ok that makes sense but to find out in the movie that they already have an cure is bullshit.
I also really need to bring this up not including all the ones in Resident Evil: Outbreak series they have only an handful of cures though none of them they are sure can be the cure in the games.
The fighting of Alice did make it's way into the games with Resident Evil 4 as an start then Resident Evil 5 actually gave us the fighting with Wesker.
I come go on and on but if those out there who like it want me to try comparing Resident Evil 3: Nemesis to Resident Evil: Apocalypse then be my guest.
In conclusion I really like the original game though I admire the new stuff in the remake now as for the movie I recommend it to some people well the rest of you I would say fuck it.
So I'm Jack Red I thank you for reading and please have an good day.

Jack Red reviews Zombiepowder
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I am taking an chance at reviewing this manga series called Zombiepowder by Tite Kubo who is known for being the author of Bleach manga series.
I did read every chapter before I took time planning this out and I got a lot to say about it.
First off it wasn't an bad story though it never got finished due to Kubo having an breakdown.
I really like the look of Gamma as he looks so bad ass now parts of his look was used to make Arrancars in Bleach especially Grimmjow who looks almost like him.
From my understanding the story goes like this everyone is searching for the twelve rings of the dead to either become immortal or raise the dead.
A story like that has to have a lot of things happening making it action packed though many manga series are longer have more action this this.
You will see some strange characters as you read the series such as the guy who looks like an Magician.
I believe some of their abilities were reused in Hollows through out Bleach yet it's interesting to see where the author first used it.
I was surprised that there's a lot of blood even with an theme similar to Trigun it sure one of the most mature mangas I ever got to read in my entire life.
The supporting character aren't too bad you got an kid that wants to bring an family member back from the grave kinda like the brothers in Full Metal Alchemist.
You also get to see such an hot chick yet I wish you could see her more in action that would've been nice.
If you the readers like this review I do promise to give you more manga reviews such as Death Note, Bleach, Naruto and much more.
In conclusion I do like Zombiepowder a lot however Bleach which is an spiritual successor to it I like more.
So I'm Jack Red and I hope you enjoy my work.

Jack Red reviews Sweet Home
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, now I did ask some people on Justintv if I should review this game though I am not very good at these kind of games.
Some of them said ok when I said I will be basing this review on RPGClassics and Cornshaq's Play It Through on the game.
So let's get this shit started it was only released in Japan around the same time as the movie in 1989 the year I was born.
This serves as one of two main inspiration for Resident Evil with the other one being George A. Romero's Dead series.
Before I go on I got an quick interesting fact for Romero fans out there now originally he was supposed to direct the Resident Evil movie with the script being close to the game however one producer said no this isn't going to work.
That guy also goes off saying that he wasn't a part of the production which is bullshit because you can go read that script online and on an guide book on the original Resident Evil it shows you that there was going to be an movie.
Now from what I did read so far I am really liking it that you must go read it online with you have some free time on your hands.
From this point on I will be comparing this to the main series of Resident Evil since they were spiritual successor to that game.
The reason why the rest of the games aren't included was because most of them weren't canonical and those that are happened outside the main series.
So I think to make it a little easier for myself I will just include the main games that so many fans enjoy to this game.
I'm also not including the movies or books into the mix though there was an movie to Sweet Home it wasn't the one that inspired Resident Evil sorry.
Why do I say spiritual successor if the same team didn't make Resident Evil well I'll tell you if something so good never got an sequel kinda like Super Mario RPG then eventually something similar with come around as if it was sequels to that great games.
What I am trying to say is parts of Sweet Home lives on in Resident Evil series as those were great games that I enjoy playing the fuck out of em.
I want to do an quick character similarities before I get to the more detailed part of this review.
Now Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil 0 and 1 was an Medic for S.T.A.R.S. Bravo was in place of Akiko Hayakawa who was also an Medic for the group.
Chris Redfield of two main characters of Resident Evil 1 was the first character to start out with an lighter.
Leon S. Kennedy was next in Resident Evil 2 followed by Claire Redfield in Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and finally Billy Coen in Resident Evil 0.
I brought that up because an character in Sweet Home by the name of Kazuo Hoshino also started out with an lighter.
I know a lot of you guys will point out that in some games of the series you will find an lighter to use for some puzzles for example in Resident Evil 2 Claire needs to find it.
Emi Hoshino opens doors for everyone in the game unless she is dead now most characters in Resident Evil that you play as ends up finding keys, keycards and other ways to go.
Lady Mamiya was the main villain and to my understand the only boss of the game though it isn't fought like most bosses in RPGs.
Umbrella was behind most of the games Wesker being one of the worst villains they ever known.
Osmund Saddler was so close on doing his plan to take over the entire world yet I like his plan more than Wesker's in Resident Evil 5.
I also like Dr. James Marcus in Resident Evil 0 now to find out he cause the first two games to happen was something else.
Dr. William Birkin becomes an G-Mutant and the T-Virus got released with an Tyrant-103 searching for any samples of the G-Virus.
Who doesnt' love the Nemesis he never leaves you alone which in an sense makes the scarier yet more difficult.
Alfred Ashford annoys the fuck out of me however his sister Alexia was a straight up bitch even after being sleep for fifteen years with T-Veronica Virus inside of her.
Now Resident Evil 1 so happens to take place in an Mansion that's surround by the forest which was directly taken from Sweet Home.
S.T.A.R.S. Bravo searches around the Forest with Rebecca getting on an Train to an Facility that has an Church and Underground Laboratory.
S.T.A.R.S. Alpha searches around the Forest but ends up losing an few members outside with some inside the Spencer Mansion.
Resident Evil series has improved on the limited space on your Inventory to where you can work with what you got.
They started with six to eight slots you can use with three of them being able to upgrade your Inventory.
In Sweet Home you play as five characters though you get to choice who you can control at any given time.
I think it was 1, 2, 3, Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and 4 that has an part where you got to play as someone else for an short time.
Resident Evil 0 actually uses that idea with Rebecca and Billy in Resident Evil 0 because it really helps out.
You don't have to do it a lot in Resident Evil 4 but in Resident Evil 5 it's required to play the game.
Resident Evil 5 can be played by yourself with your partner being the computer or an second player to help you out.
You can get a lot of health items in Resident Evil series yet I am not sure about Sweet Home which I do apologize for.
You get to fight Zombies, Dogs and Worms in Sweet Home that cool pretty good at the game.
Resident Evil series has Zombies in nearly every game of the series until Resident Evil 4 where the people infected by Las Plagas followed by those of Uroboros Virus was loved by many fans of the series.
Cerberuses also almost been in every game up til Resident Evil 4 with Colmillos followed by Adjule in Resident Evil 5 were feared creatures.
I don't know much about the creatures in Sweet Home I really like the ones in Resident Evil more because they do some crazy shit in the games especially the Nemesis.
Action sequences didn't get into Resident Evil until 3: Nemesis though I really like how that was done in 4.
It does come back in Resident Evil 5 though there is more of then than Resident Evil 4 they aren't as good.
Now from what I seen in Cornshaq's Play It Through on the game it makes where you use several items more obvious.
In Resident Evil games you could have pieces of one puzzle to another for example you must collect four death masks in order from other puzzles to get further in the game.
Sweet Home uses more blade weapons than firearms like Resident Evil however it's easier to tell which weapons to keep in Resident Evil unless you played Sweet Home enough times you won't know who is good with which weapon.
I did say this earlier in the review that the last boss in Sweet Home has an boss fight different from the other RPGs because you need to follow the steps of beating her or you have to do the entire process again.
She has two different forms which the second one being the most gruesome looking enemy in the entire game.
I really been waiting to talk about the bosses of Resident Evil series now not many of them work in puzzles like the last boss of Sweet Home.
Basically you get to fire your weapons at them and for several such as Birkin G-Mutation, Queen Leech, Osmund Saddler, etc.
Plant 42 was the first boss to involve an puzzle as another way to beat it through it cuts half the boss fight.
The music was quite good in Sweet Home it feels more horror yet I did start that genre with Resident Evil so a lot of their songs I remember.
Sweet Home was the first RPG survival horror in existence though as good it was I felt more at home with Fallout 3.
Resident Evil was the game that got the genre known to the world and the best selling Capcom series to date.
I believe Mikhail's death in 3: Nemesis was an reference to Sweet Home when the husband of the last boss sacrifice himself.
I would go on comparing Sweet Home to Resident Evil series but it would be nearly impossible to do perfectly which I know I can't do.
In conclusion it is an good game though I prefer Resident Evil games more because they became an part of genres I can play.
So I'm Jack Red I give it an try and I hope you guys like it.
Some of them said ok when I said I will be basing this review on RPGClassics and Cornshaq's Play It Through on the game.

Jack Red reviews Resident Evil: Survivor
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I will be taking an break from making lists to make some reviews instead.
I figured why not review Resident Evil: Survivor which is considered to be one of the worst games in the series yet I actually like this game.
It originally wasn't canonical until the release of Resident Evil 0 and it was the first game in Gun Survivor series.
One interesting fact is Wesker is directly involved with the main games yet this is one of the few he isn't.
The other game to not directly involve Wesker which so happens to also be in this series called Resident Evil: Dead Aim.
I didn't get to play Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on PlayStation though I did get to play it on the computer and Game Cube.
I did have the updated version of Resident Evil Code: Veronica with a very brief time playing the original version on Sega Dreamcast.
With that out of the way it's time to actually describe the game to you the readers out there.
Unlike the games before it which were third person is first person now originally the first Resident Evil was going to be first person before they decided it that it wasn't scary enough.
You have unlimited ammo with numerous types of Handguns with an Rocket Launcher you can unlock after you beat the game.
You can shoot all over the screen with any weapon which is an good feature have yet I felt that was done better in the Chronicles series which acts as an spiritual successor to Gun Survivor series.
Sadly unlike the other games it only has one unlockable which sucks because it could've have them to work with like an alternate scenario kinda like the first two games.
Yes I am aware that Resident Evil 3: Nemesis has multiple routes and so does this game though I felt it kinda fell short.
The paths you can take in this game will take multiple times playing through to see where all of them takes it.
I believe those changes in routes is small with one being which ending to the game do you want.
I really like that they reused not only some of Resident Evil 2 Zombies with sounds from that game.
Of course they does have some new design for Zombies though I would have to say it did much better job than the ones in Outbreak series.
When you used any key items it will go straight into through the door or activate machines.
In the other games you can unlock doors and not going straight in there until you are ready to now that makes sense but to not have that is bullshit.
It seriously lacks puzzles that the series is known for I mean when I lasted played it which took me over an hour without saving and dieing I was looking for at least one tough puzzle there wasn't any.
Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X does appear in the game however instead of one why not an fucking army of them.
Do you remember those soldiers in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis now they were human well how about the Cleaners that will fire their rifles at you then after you kill them it makes an weird sound.
After I heard that sound I thought they were creatures that were created to kill anyone involved with the event yet one of them talks which blows my mind.
You kill them then you watch their bodies melt into the fucking ground it barely makes any sense.
You do get an Shotgun, Grenade Launcher which I recommend for the last boss fight of the game and more.
It's really easy to save ammo for the boss fights though I think it had the toughest boss fight with the Crocodile in the entire series.
Do you remember Resident Evil 2 where you face an giant Crocodile now there was an fast way to kill it.
Now can you believe that you spend most of the fight with the one in front of you then out of no where an second one right behind you.
What the fuck is that shit it isn't fair because you have to kill one of them before fighting the other one now that's bullshit it shouldn't been in this game.
You do have to fight Mr. X as an boss once where you must defeat it in order to continue the game.
I was surprised to find out that Leon from Resident Evil 2 asked Ark of this game to put an end to this facility.
Hypnos Tyrant for me was way too easy to beat especially with all the ammo you have saved.
I said this in my review of Resident Evil Gaiden that B.O.W. Tyrant directly looks you in all of it's forms.
You have to fight that thing in three forms now it's funny that it was created with the T-Virus yet it transforms as if it has the G-Virus.
I know what a lot of you must be thinking were they getting drunk when they made this.
The voice acting in this game was an huge let down because the games before it had slightly better voice acting with Code: Veronica at the time being the best and the original being just laughable yet better than this game.
It's actually pretty easy to know where to go even finding all the files isn't an problem I'm dead serious.
You can barely save in the game which sucks because the games before it had plenty of Ink Ribbons with many typewriters you can save on.
In conclusion it wasn't too bad it was more Resident Evil than fucking Resident Evil Gaiden ever can hope to be and this also proves that they were right it sure wasn't scary.
So I'm Jack Red and remember just because someone said the game is bad doesn't mean there isn't someone who likes it.
I figured why not review Resident Evil: Survivor which is considered to be one of the worst games in the series yet I actually like this game.

Jack Red presents Top 5 Best Resident Evil Hunters
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, now considering there isn't many types of Hunters I will just be doing the best because who doesn't like Hunters in an Resident Evil game.
This is going to be an tough list kinda like my list on Tyrants since nearly every Hunters in the games were good though some were okay in my opinion.
Before I get to the list I wanted to do an quick list of those who are like Hunters but don't count on this list as they follow down below...
1. Anubis from Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
2. Garradors from Resident Evil 4
3. Verdugo from Resident Evil 4
4. Eliminators from Resident Evil 0 and The Umbrella Chronicles
5. Crimson Heads from Resident Evil Remake and The Umbrella Chronicles
6. Lickers from Resident Evil series
7. Chimera from Resident Evil and The Umbrella Chronicles
5. MA-124 Hunter y from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Sure you do fight these things in Resident Evil: Outbreak but their performance in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is why it's on this list.
You can call them as Hunter Gammas though the concept behind them barely works.
In an sense they wanted another water type B.O.W. since the last one Luckers failed due to it's short attention span.
There wasn't many of them because it needs to stay in water at all times or it would die in no time.
I like that these can eat their victims whole in matter of minutes I thought it's still one of my favorite Death screens.
I also like their skin color being blue as it looks really good on them even it's the only type to have that skin tone.
4. MA-125 Hunter R from Resident Evil: Outbreak and The Umbrella Chronicles
Originally they were in Resident Evil: Outbreak series brought back in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
You do get to see a lot of them including an level where you have to fight Hunters and Lickers at the end.
They were another variation of the original Hunter type that in this game looks like them.
In Resident Evil: Outbreak 1 and 2 these Hunters are dangerous yet fun to fight every time you see them.
3. MA-121 Hunter β from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
The better out of the two types in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis I got to say it looks scarier.
You can also called them Hunter Betas considering they wanted to improved on the what they have before mass producing it.
This thing is considered to be faster than the original Hunter type however it can barely see which they tried to fix it ends up being an failure.
They can attack you like no tomorrow so be on your guard when you play the game since it's the only one to have them.
You do see more of them than Hunter Gamma in the game because of Gamma's main weakness of not being able to survive outside of Water.
I still respect it as I thought it was an good Hunter you will face as it keeps you on your toes at times.
2. Enhanced Hunters from Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version and The Darkside Chronicles
The only Hunter type to not be created by Umbrella stands as one of the greatest Hunters in Resident Evil history.
They are stronger than most Hunters you will come across in the game as well being what I considered to be the fastest.
I really like the look of them especially Sweepers which are poisonous version of this type.
Seekers are placed in areas making it even harder to beat the game sadly you can't do anything about those machines.
1. MA-121 Hunter a from Resident Evil 0 and 1
What can I say nothing beats the original this time I mean how can any Hunter type compete with this.
The original Hunters always is remembered to be one of the best monsters in the series as well being extremely annoying.
I like in the Remake they can break through doors looking for you making the game even scarier.
I really love this type of Hunters as they were the first successful Umbrella B.O.W. ever created.
You can ask other fans why they love the Hunters I bet most of them will say I remembered my first time taking one of those fuckers.
Without question the greatest Hunter type in existence has to be this though Enhanced one was very close.
So I hope you all enjoy reading this and I am still working on my big one though it might not be finished in time of end of this month.
This is going to be an tough list kinda like my list on Tyrants since nearly every Hunters in the games were good though some were okay in my opinion.
Before I get to the list I wanted to do an quick list of those who are like Hunters but don't count on this list as they follow down below...
1. Anubis from Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

5. Crimson Heads from Resident Evil Remake and The Umbrella Chronicles
6. Lickers from Resident Evil series
7. Chimera from Resident Evil and The Umbrella Chronicles
5. MA-124 Hunter y from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Sure you do fight these things in Resident Evil: Outbreak but their performance in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is why it's on this list.
You can call them as Hunter Gammas though the concept behind them barely works.
In an sense they wanted another water type B.O.W. since the last one Luckers failed due to it's short attention span.
There wasn't many of them because it needs to stay in water at all times or it would die in no time.
I like that these can eat their victims whole in matter of minutes I thought it's still one of my favorite Death screens.
I also like their skin color being blue as it looks really good on them even it's the only type to have that skin tone.
4. MA-125 Hunter R from Resident Evil: Outbreak and The Umbrella Chronicles
Originally they were in Resident Evil: Outbreak series brought back in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
You do get to see a lot of them including an level where you have to fight Hunters and Lickers at the end.
They were another variation of the original Hunter type that in this game looks like them.
In Resident Evil: Outbreak 1 and 2 these Hunters are dangerous yet fun to fight every time you see them.
3. MA-121 Hunter β from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
The better out of the two types in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis I got to say it looks scarier.
You can also called them Hunter Betas considering they wanted to improved on the what they have before mass producing it.
This thing is considered to be faster than the original Hunter type however it can barely see which they tried to fix it ends up being an failure.
They can attack you like no tomorrow so be on your guard when you play the game since it's the only one to have them.
You do see more of them than Hunter Gamma in the game because of Gamma's main weakness of not being able to survive outside of Water.
I still respect it as I thought it was an good Hunter you will face as it keeps you on your toes at times.
2. Enhanced Hunters from Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version and The Darkside Chronicles
The only Hunter type to not be created by Umbrella stands as one of the greatest Hunters in Resident Evil history.
They are stronger than most Hunters you will come across in the game as well being what I considered to be the fastest.
I really like the look of them especially Sweepers which are poisonous version of this type.
Seekers are placed in areas making it even harder to beat the game sadly you can't do anything about those machines.
1. MA-121 Hunter a from Resident Evil 0 and 1
What can I say nothing beats the original this time I mean how can any Hunter type compete with this.
The original Hunters always is remembered to be one of the best monsters in the series as well being extremely annoying.
I like in the Remake they can break through doors looking for you making the game even scarier.
I really love this type of Hunters as they were the first successful Umbrella B.O.W. ever created.
You can ask other fans why they love the Hunters I bet most of them will say I remembered my first time taking one of those fuckers.
Without question the greatest Hunter type in existence has to be this though Enhanced one was very close.
So I hope you all enjoy reading this and I am still working on my big one though it might not be finished in time of end of this month.

Jack Red reviews Resident Evil Movies
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I did an bad video on this topic which I apologize for so to make up for it I'm going to remake it as an blog entry.
I love the games and I wouldn't mine reviewing every single Resident Evil movie ever made.
Let's start with Resident Evil released in 2002 the same year as the remake and the prequel hit the Game Cube.
I was surprised how good this was considering it was directed by the same guy who directed the first Mortal Kombat movie.
It follows the game pretty close though with some major changes it did piss a lot of people off.
For example why wasn't there any S.T.A.R.S. member from the game present in the movie.
S.T.A.R.S. enters the Mansion while running into Alice, Spence and Matt before entering The Hive.
In the game it was S.T.A.R.S. were just Police Officers with little to no experience on how to handle these solutions.
S.T.A.R.S. were Swat that most of all were killed in the first two movies with Nemesis killing the most.
S.T.A.R.S. in the games stands for Special Tactics and Rescue Service however in the novels and movies it stands for Special Tactics and Rescue Squad.
It is quite easy to get confuse which one last S word actually brings unless you do some looking around like I did.
I really like the music in the movie as it's pretty good for my taste since I'm an fan of Rock.
The game has an ton of enemies to pick from however only Zombies, Cerberuses and Licker appears in the movie.
Resident Evil 2 was the first game of the series to feature Lickers though there does exist Super Lickers which takes more ammo to kill.
The Licker actually mutates into an Super Licker with an nice way to die
In the games only an handful of times you get to save someone who is infected before it's too late.
Most of the movie takes place below the entire city rather than the Mansion like the game or George A. Romero's original script.
I like how they did the Zombies I though it was pretty good compared to more recent Zombies movies such as Day of the Dead remake which sucks ass.
It's hard to believe that William Birkin actually appears in the movie at the end though the actor couldn't come back so he was replaced by Dr. Sam Isaacs.
The laser part of the movie actually got put in Resident Evil 4 though it didn't feature the unfamiliar laser pattern that will kill anything.
The Red Queen in this movie does become an part of the games through Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
There was an scenario in Resident Evil: Outbreak called The Hive which was an Hospital rather than an Umbrella Underground Laboratory.
In conclusion it's an good movie with some changes that started pissing off fans but Capcom did approve of it.
Next up is Resident Evil: Apocalypse in 2004 which is directly based on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis now in my opinion it was the worst for many reasons.
I won't compare Resident Evil 2 since it's wasn't based on despite the fact that happened very close with 3: Nemesis.
I will say I like the references to the game including Alice dropping her gun and quickly grabbing it to shoot those soldiers.
The Nemesis appears though he doesn't use his tentacles instead you get to see him use an Gatling Gun.
Sure it makes him look more bad ass but considering it's based on an popular game it will upset many fans.
He still has his rocket launcher that was originally from Resident Evil 2 later brought back in 3: Nemesis.
You still have Zombies, Cerberuses and Lickers however this time rather than just being under the Mansion they're everywhere.
I also like the action scenes such as Alice running from The Nemesis was awesome yet not as good as the game it's based on.
Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira appear in the movie too with an altered version of Nicholai named Nicholas who I like a lot.
Nicholai in the game was such an asshole in fact he kills other Umbrella soldiers and even tries killing you.
The movie didn't do the game justice and is the worst out of the four movies created for the fans by Hollywood.
I really wanted to review Resident Evil: Extinction in 2007 so bad that I could hardly wait any longer to do it.
Unlike the first two movies this one isn't directly based an game that turns out to be an good movie.
I like the music selection in this one especially the opening with the survivors in an few vehicles.
Claire Redfield appears as the leader of those survivors however she was more serious than how she is in the games.
Albert Wesker finally appears in an Resident Evil movie though they fucked him up good.
He was the CEO of Umbrella rather than being one of it's top employee before his betrayal.
He seem like an normal human with the hair not even looking like the hair at all it stands as one of the worst changes they ever done.
I did like Wesker wearing all black with his infamous sunglasses like some of the games now that I do approve it however everything else about him is fucked.
The gore in this one was pretty damn good like in the opening an Zombie got hit by spike attached to all the wheels.
You still have Zombies with Super Zombies which isn't to be confused with the rare ones in the first couple of games and Crimson Heads.
There wasn't any Cerberuses which is fine since they gave us The Crows instead and an new kind of Tyrant.
Alice becomes more super human in this one even being the top killing machine of the movie.
She got cloned with a lot of them killed because they wanted one as good as the original to make an cure from her blood.
Carlos's death is still one of my favorite moments of the movies because I didn't expect it to be in it yet it's funny.
Jill sadly wasn't in the movie due to the Actress had to do another movie around the time of the movie.
It's an damn good movie that I will recommend to horror fans however to the ones who love the games I can't say I would recommend it.
I do promise that in the near future that I will review Resident Evil: Afterlife that's going to end the series.
I wanted to also review Resident Evil: Degeneration in 2008 because it's an Resident Evil movie made by the creators.
It has many references to Resident Evil 2 even recreating some classic moments such as how Leon met Claire or someone becoming an G-Mutant.
It happened an year after Resident Evil 4 which was such an good game now I like for the movie it goes back to the Zombies.
It isn't live action like the other movies it's CGI like the cutscenes in the games with good voice acting.
Finally they made an movie that connects to the games and shows another G-Mutant in action.
According to the film makers of the film it's Resident Evil 4.5 since it brings up TriCell which later comes back in Resident Evil 5.
The Airport gets Zombies everywhere with Claire being trapped inside so an Swat Team had to go with the help of an Government Agent Leon.
I like how the movie reminds you of the games before they made Resident Evil 4 that changed everything.
I know some would prefer the other Resident Evil movies but how could you go wrong with one being made by the guys behind the games.
I consider it an good movie as it feels like watching Resident Evil cut scenes made into an movie.
Spoiler: In an few days I will do an review on the original script by George A. Romero.

Jack Red presents Top 5 Best Resident Evil Games
Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I know what a lot of you would say to me about the last couple of topics on Resident Evil.
Why can't you write about something else well I'll tell you I have but I think Resident Evil shows one of my most interesting looks on things.
So you are sick of me talking about Resident Evil then tough shit it's my fucking blog go somewhere else assholes.
I can't make one on the worst games of the series because I think there isn't enough for me to work off of so I am just doing the best.
Besides Resident Evil the only two series I got to play that were just as good as this was Silent Hill and They Hunger.
Yes I am aware that They Hunger series were mods for the first Half-Life but it still stands as one of the scariest one ever made.
It's the big one that I was planning to make for you guys out there cheering the series on even today.
Before I get to the list I won't be including the cell phone games so if you expected one I'm sorry.
Top 5 Best Resident Evil Games
5. Resident Evil 0
The prequel to the first game of the series has to be one my top 5 list because it was unique in it's own right.
I love the fact you can play as Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen through out the game while switching between them at any given time.
The team reused the same engine as Resident Evil remake on the Game Cube with some good improvements.
It has an good selection of enemies that are fun to kill especially those fucking annoying Eliminators those are assholes.
One change that didn't set well with me was that only Rebecca could mix the herbs and not Billy now in the other games that didn't matter at all so why the fuck did they said oh let's throw in an curve ball for our fans fucking assholes.
I did some research on the following and it will get a little confusing there actually exist a lot of Leech Mens which are leeches that looks like Dr. James Marcus.
The best weapons for them are Shotgun and Grenade Launcher because it can wipe you with it's arm and attack you as if it was an Zombie.
The confusion behind that was there does exist in Resident Evil: Oubtreak an Leech Zombie though it isn't exactly what this is.
It's a group of leeches that cover of an person and the only way to kill it is by leading it to the room then burn it to death.
The worst thing about this creature was if one of your teammate dies then the remaining leeches will take over their bodies and won't fall for the same trick.
Both these creatures are different species of Leeches meaning they don't have the same Queen Leech.
The Queen Leech of Resident Evil 0 is an hell of creature and takes more shot than even the Tyrant-001 in both it's fight.
Sadly it does transform into an nearly unstoppable creature with sunlight as it's weakness what you do for that one is hold off the Queen until Rebecca has opened the Shutters.
The final form still standing as one of the hardest boss fights in history of Resident Evil.
Now the other Queen Leech is just an giant Leech nothing special and fighting it isn't fun at all.
In you are familiar with the other titles then you should know that there isn't any Inventory Boxes in this game that's because you can throw your shit all over the floor.
An nice feature they added that helps out a lot is when you go to the Map screen you pick an floor and where ever you dropped your equipment will appear.
I think it has an good selection of weapons including the ones you must unlock by beating the game.
The bosses are for the most pretty simple to beat especially Centurion and Tyrant-001.
The hidden outfits weren't too bad I really like Billy's new one as well as Rebecca's leather outfit though the cowgirl one was okay for me.
All you have to do to unlock these outfits for our heroes is simply beat the game it doesn't matter how long it takes or what difficulty you have it set on.
In my opinion the best thing about the game was it's mini game called Leech Hunter.
In Leech Hunter you must collect 100 leech charms now you can collect enough for an rank while unlocking the prize.
Billy needs the blue ones as Rebecca must collect the green ones however ten leech charms takes up an slot in your inventory so becareful.
You also can't drop your leech charms once you pick them up that adds to the difficulty of the mini game.
Leech Hunter prizes includes more Machine Gun ammo found through out the game, infinite Handgun bullets and an Magnum Revolver.
It's hard to believe when you get real close to the highest rank that some rooms will have enemies inside even after you clean it out before.
The top prize that's hard to achieve in Leech Hunter is having every weapon unlimited ammo.
4. Resident Evil 5
I know a lot of you guys are going to disagree with me and send me insults well for the ones that are going to do that you can kiss my ass bitch...
I will confess Resident Evil 5 is an good game that out sold Resident Evil 2 in such short time.
You play as Chris Redfield who was last seen in Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and an new character new Sheva who stands in for Jill.
I really like the weapons you can get in this weapon such as Chris's Gatling Gun, Hydra, etc.
They kept the same knife feature of Resident Evil 4 which really helps and doesn't stop your game play at all.
One of the few changes I didn't like was the colors of herbs went down by one and you can only use two green herbs instead of three of them mixed.
It was kinda unknown how the herbs were mixed in the other games but here you can make your own spray.
I also like the fact you can play by yourself with an computer or play with someone else now that's fucking awesome.
The bosses aren't too bad such as Wesker who can be quite fun to fight or U-8 that spawns these little creatures that you can kill for ammo.
I wanted to say that I did check online to see if U-8 was related to U-3 in Resident Evil 4 and the answer is they aren't related though both have the same idea behind their creation.
My favorite line of the series was said by an Boss after beating him that goes like this "It doesn't matter anyway because you're still screwed" priceless.
I like the level where you can go around with an boat as well as the level where you ride in an jeep firing like no tomorrow.
The shop in this one was pretty good though I fucking love buying from the Merchant of Resident Evil 4.
That brings me up to my next point who the fuck is running the store fucking BSAA themselves.
Uroboros Virus in this game is an mixature of T-Virus and Las Plagas that's an deadly combination.
The idea of Wesker being the main villain of an game was eventually going to happen however it wasn't as faithful as I hope it would be.
I really didn't care for the voice actor who did him in the game with Wesker's plan about exposing the entire world with Uroboros Virus was kinda stupid.
Why do I think that you asked well I will tell you this is the guy who basically fucked everyone over for power yet I thought he would use the events of the game as an test for something bigger.
I know what a lot of you must be wondering how can it be bigger than sending an plane real high in the Sky in the no fly zone with the virus infecting the world.
He could've have escaped then create some more monsters than send them out in an way that it can't be tracked to him and doesn't look like it would have em inside.
Sure it would've taken much longer but we would have more story as well as more interesting creatures killing civilians.
The fact that Wesker was killed in this game didn't happen at all what I thought was going to happen.
Now considering how hard it is to kill him what I thought could've worked was trapped somewhere nearly impossible that's wired to blow.
It is hard to picture what would really been able to kill him since he can heal much faster than humans do.
Wesker in an sense was an disappointment though the action scenes with the boss fights kinda make up for it.
It comes close to the biggest disappointment involving Wesker in history the only thing topping that was Wesker in Resident Evil: Extinction however the character as shown in the trailers has been retooled.
I actually though this idea would work better than TG-Virus of Resident Evil: Dead Aim that is unstable.
The Inventory in this game is about the size of Outbreak series however unlike that series there's another inventory that both characters shared which was an nice tough.
It has such an good selection of enemies you can fight with even tougher sub bosses than those featured in Resident Evil 4.
You actually can unlock alter effects for the game to play such as classic horror for those such as myself who enjoy that stuff.
You can also unlock if you beat the game fast enough the unlimited ammo feature that helps when you're in an tight spot.
If you got all those medals through out the game then you unlock the first set of new outfits for Chris and Sheva to wear.
The Mercenaries on this one was good but tougher than the last one though the selection of characters was much better.
I mean playing as the S.T.A.R.S. version of Chris and Wesker was an good idea however where the fuck is Jill's at.
The levels in that one went up from the last one's four to eight levels you can play for fun.
The worst thing about this is if you play with someone else then you need double the points to get the ranking you need to keep unlocking stuff.
Sadly I got banned before playing all of the new content introduced in the Gold Edition however I did play Versus.
I actually have played a little of Versus now it plays The Mercenaries except you can also fight other players.
I think that's more fun than The Mercenaries of Resident Evil 5 because you still fight the normal enemies and you can keep killing them.
I promise that sometime in the near future I will be reviewing Lost in Nightmares, Desperate Escape and Mercenaries Reunion.
3. Resident Evil (Remake)
I do like the original as it was the very game that made Survival Horror known to the entire world.
I thought the remake wasn't better than the original but I was wrong, dead wrong.
You play as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine it has some changes in their scenarios though it's the same story being told.
Briefly if you play as Chris you can play as Rebecca to help out such as making the V-Jolt then use it on Plant 42's root.
They made it tougher to beat with the new bosses as well as Crimson Heads that could appear at any time through the game.
Some enemies can actually break through the doors until they find you which is crazy yet it does scary people new to the game.
The bosses were better than most Resident Evil games such as the infamous Tyrant-002 and Plant 42.
Basically it's similar to Resident Evil 0 all you have to day is beat the game to get this key however depending on which character and time you played through the game unlocks two new outfits for each.
The hidden outfits in this one are awesome such as Jill wearing an Sarah Connor from Terminator series outfit or Chris wearing his Code Veronica uniform.
You also can wear Jill's RE3 outfit and Chris's The Mexican Outfit which also effects Rebecca.
I like the files you can collect in the game though many people don't know this if you heard of Wesker's Report well there's an sequel that explains his career in Umbrella.
According to the creator Shinji Mikami that it's 70% different from the original which is true.
In this version had story that was originally cut out of the original game making it one of the best stories ever.
It does have slightly better voice acting than the original game which was somewhat laughable like you were almost an Jill sandwich priceless.
They did change where some of the key items around making the game harder even introducing some new areas making those who love the Spencer Mansion as much as me.
The weapons are pretty good though not as good as Resident Evil 4 and 5 but it deserves some fucking respect.
You can also armed yourself with an Dagger which both Chris and Jill through out the game.
Now Chris has Flash Grenades which are best known for the fastest ammo saving way to kill the Crimson Head Prototype.
Jill has her Taser which in many women in the real life actually wear them for protection.
Before I go on explaining how I feel about the game sorry if I offended any ladies out there.
You can unlock an special zombie if you beat the game as both characters where in some areas Forest of S.T.A.R.S. will chase you in the first half of the game however killing it will give you an game over.
I also enjoy working these puzzles as I think they are the best of the series even going as far as an even optional one to get the Magnum.
You also can unlock two more variation of the game that makes it even more challenging for those who stand as hardcore Resident Evil fans.
The first of these was Real Survivor Mode originally it was going to be in an the game however they didn't think it would set well with fans so it was scrapped.
Basically you can't auto aim meaning you got to turn the gun yourself didn't work well in those game.
Look how Resident Evil 4 and 5 you aim now if that was in the game then it wouldn't have to be an big fucking deal but oh it is.
You don't choice of the difficulties though it's already set on hard for realism of the game.
The biggest change in Real Survivor Mode is now those Item Boxes helped you in the past are your worst enemies.
You must memorize which Item Box you must some key item in or you will be searching all over maybe even getting yourself killed.
No wonder they scrapped that idea it made the game too tough for many people to play.
Sadly the game gets even tougher than that with Invisbile Enemy now you unlock it by simply beating Real Survivor Mode though it isn't simple to do.
You still don't have auto aim though the Item Boxes are connected to each other again.
You once again can choice the difficulty but every enemy in the entire game is invisible though there are ways how to fight them.
Only the most hardcore Resident Evil fans can beat this nearly impossible variation of the game.
If you are really good at the game then beating Invisible Enemy Mode can be done and you are award with an surprise slide show of unused looks in the game.
You have multiple endings in the game though some parts actually effects the outcome of it for example taking Barry's Magnum and keeping.
2. Resident Evil 4
I always love playing Resident Evil 4 because it so damn good even it's camera angle and controls are best of the series.
You play as Leon S. Kennedy last time canonically seen in Resident Evil 2 is on an mission to rescue Ashley at all cost.
I was surprised that it had some good voice acting though just like Sonic Adventure was follow by an good sequel that lack it.
I have owned it on Game Cube, PC and Wii so I will be bringing up new content that was introduced through PS2 port.
I like that you can get an bigger Inventory Case as you keep playing the game over and over.
Originally like Resident Evil remake and 0 on Game Cube it was an two disc game though that change soon after that got ported.
Eventually the other two games became an whole without needing to stopping the game play at one point as they got ported to the Wii.
The weapons are really good though I will confess Resident Evil 5 has some damn good weapons.
I love the Handcannon, Chicago Typewriter and Infinite Launcher because only an handful of unlimited ammo weapons were worth having however most of them in this game are so worth it.
The enemy selection was well thought out even with the sub bosses making the game more fun to play.
After the sales of Resident Evil 0 weren't good enough Capcom decide to make this game as good it is today.
To be honest I actually like that though who doesn't love an game you can search everywhere while destroying stuff on your way to where you are suppose to go.
I really like the boss fights as they are so much fun such as Krauser, Verdugo and El Gigante.
You do have to escort Ashley who keeps reminding me of Sherry from Resident Evil 2 though they do similar in fact they act similar this let up to an confusion among fans.
Capcom did announce who the character is and many were surprised that it wasn't Sherry Birkin.
The Merchant can be funny at times like buying an Handcannon and his famous quote "What would you like to buy Stranger" classic.
I'll tell you what I want to buy how about an fucking nuke do you got any of those.
Speaking of The Merchant he also runs an Shooting Range that is quite fun to play and you can earn caps based on people that appeared in the game.
The laser part of the game was inspired by the first movie though that scene was awesome.
Just in case you were wondering yes I am aware that the Tyrant in Resident Evil: Extinction was killed by the same pattern of lasers that killed the leader of S.T.A.R.S. in the first movie.
You can also get this game in Resident Evil: The Essentials that also includes Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and the first Outbreak.
You can unlock two more hidden outfits that actually appeal to me a lot that I must speak out about them.
Basically similar to Resident Evil 0 and 1 remake you have to beat the game to unlock.
The first one you unlock gives Leon his Resident Evil 2 outfit, Ashley an hot teen clothes and Ada wears her Assignment Ada uniform.
You just need to beat Separate Ways to unlock these costumes that a lot of people wouldn't stop talking about.
The second one actually effects the game more which makes it the most unique hidden costumes of the series.
Leon looks like an classic Gangster with the Chicago Typewriter having an different clip type.
You can an special pose in your Inventory screen and an new animation for reloading it which is awesome.
Ashley wears an suit of armor yes I'm not kidding now no enemies including an El Gigante can pick her up and no one can hurt her especially you.
I'm dead fucking serious you can fire rockets, bullets and throw grenades at her yet it doesn't even effect her at all.
Considering she's a hell lot heavier it's funny to keep watching Leon trying to get her down.
The knife automatically being equipped is such an good idea because in the previous games you had to pick an weapon and that's it though the remake does have self defense weapons.
The Mercenaries I said before was my favorite mini game of the series for many reasons.
You can play as Leon, Ada, Krauser, Hunk and Wesker are in this one mini game now doesn't that kick ass.
I will be honest I was okay playing as Hunk though I enjoy playing as him in Resident Evil 2 much more.
Every time I play as Krauser I'm like fucking Rambo that's how good I am with him in fact an friend of mine saw how good I was with him.
Wesker and Ada takes some practice to know what you can do with them to beat the level.
Leon is an good character though compared to Krauser and Wesker he isn't that good but that's just me.
The levels are based on an Village, Castle, Military Base and Island with their own bosses.
The infamous boss of this mini game was an Giant double bladed Chainsaw guy as he sure can scare little kids in an second.
He's also the toughest boss of the mini game due to how much ammo it takes to kill him.
Assignment Ada was an okay mini game but compared to The Mercenaries and Separate Ways it fucking sucks.
You play as Ada Wong who last appeared in Resident Evil 2 who you thought died after falling off an rail.
Your mission is to collect five samples of Las Plagas though it isn't canonical due to her never actually wearing military gears outside of this as well as there's only one known sample of the parasite exists.
Separate Ways was so good however it just isn't as fun as The Mercenaries but it's fun enough to be my second favorite mini game of the series.
You once again play as Ada Wong except this time it's canonical that takes place during Resident Evil 4.
You can buy from The Merchant though you can't upgrade any weapons in the mini game though you can unlock the Chicago Typewriter.
Before I go on about how fun this fucker is I wanted to say that this weapon also appears in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii as an one of the hidden weapons however it has limited ammo.
That's because the very same team who worked on the Wii port of Resident Evil 4 also made that port of Dead Rising though it feels like an different game to me.
In one level you can use two turrents where you had to get something for it before you have to get inside them.
The first one is an heavy machine gun that's used to destroy an few enemy turrents before you can get to the other turrent.
The other turrent was an rocket one that's used to destroy the rest of those enemy turrents.
You do fight an El Gigante similar to the optional boss fight with him in the main game.
I think fighting Krauser in this mini game is more interesting and fun to play.
The biggest surprise for me when I first played it was fighting shortly after beating Krauser was Osmund Saddler.
You actually get to fight him in his human form which is harder to do because unlike his final form against Leon you must force out his main eye that appears in his mouth.
You better bring as much ammo as you can unless you got the Chicago Typewriter or you're fucked.
You also unlock Movie Browser for both the main game and Separate Ways where you can view any cutscene you want at any given time.
Before I reveal what number 1 I wanted to do an quick Honorable Mentions of games that could've been on this list...
1. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
2. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
3. Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version)
4. Resident Evil: Dead Aim
5. Resident Evil: Outbreak
6. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
1. Resident Evil 2
If you seen my videos then you already knew that to me no Resident Evil game is better than Resident Evil 2.
I will confess I love playing the games however this was the very game I played as an kid that pulled me into the series.
Don't get me wrong yes I did play the original as an kid but I didn't get as much into until a couple of years later.
This is the only Resident Evil game where in several areas you can actually shoot the TV screen which quickly got attention.
You play as Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield in such an unique scenario system that goes beyond the original.
In Resident Evil you have only two scenarios but multiple endings well how about this you pick an character then finish their game to do the other character's scenario.
It's hard to believe that there's actually four scenarios created just for this game similar to the development of Resident Evil 4 a few years later they wanted this to be good.
I also love the gore they put into this one sadly Resident Evil 3: Nemesis failed to make it better than that.
Why is this such an big deal well I'll tell you in later games besides getting your head cut off by Chainsaw maniacs and that thing with claws kind like Wolverine there wasn't anything close to how gory Resident Evil 2 was.
For example if you have an upgraded Shotgun and fired at an group of Zombies watch what happens bang there goes some limbs you can even blow an Zombie in half.
I got to be honest I didn't like 3 or Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) Zombies as much as I like 2's though the original and 0 are pretty close.
If you can get to the Police Station and go down those stairs without picking anything up then you will come across Brad Vickers from Resident Evil as an Zombie.
You can kill him to get the key in the Dark Room to wear an different outfit now I believe Leon has two outfits compared to Claire who has one outfit now she gets an Single Action Army.
If you play Metal Gear Solid series then you damn know what an Single Action Army actually is.
It's an Revolver made to hold six bullets that once fired the bullets will bounce off the walls like crazy however that don't happen in this game.
I know what a lot of you are thinking sure the camera angle isn't as good as Resident Evil 4 and 5 well for just this one game fuck you I actually like it.
Surprisingly the bosses do bring fear to the table because you get to face an Giant Alligator.
To be honest as an kid that thing scared the shit out of me I couldn't believe how fucking big it was.
It's so big that even if it was real and Steve Irwin was alive he couldn't handle it now I do apologize for using him as an example but who else is known to handle those kind of creatures than him.
William became famous to the fans from this game because what he becomes with the G-Virus which he did create.
Here's another interesting fact Resident Evil: Degeneration which was the first Resident Evil movie created by it's creators made it similar to the game even having Leon and Claire back together.
Curtis Miller takes the G-Virus late in the movie and you will see why to me that virus was the most unique out of them all.
The weapons are quite good in fact they're better than the original even the hidden weapons such as Sub Machine Gun, Gatling Gun and Rocket Launcher all with unlimited ammo.
Here is an fact in the Dual Shock version of the game you can play Rookie Mode which already has all three hidden weapons unlocked.
I also like you can enter an code for unlimited ammo for every weapon now that's an damn good idea sadly they never did it again.
I can't say I haven't played the N64 version but I am aware that it doesn't have Extreme Battle, EX files that further the storyline and three new codes.
The N64 version also includes an randomizer which randomly puts things meaning the game will have an different item placement each time you play.
You also have the option in that version to change the color of the blood now if I remember correctly Silent Hill games until 4: The Room had that feature.
You can unlock Hunk, Tofu and enter god mode with those codes which makes it not only the easiest version of the game but the best port of it.
The enemy selection was just as good as the original though you got to worry more about the poisonous ones such as Plant 43 AKA Ivys and Web Spinners.
The 4th Survivor is an close second best mini game of Resident Evil 2 only behind Extreme Battle.
You can unlock it by beating either scenario with an A rank if you can do that then it's time to play the hidden scenario of the game.
It's the first canonical mini game in the entire series though you also could say he is an hidden character with Tofu.
He comes armed with an Handgun, Magnum and Shotgun which makes him quite fun to play as.
You also has two green and blue herbs to help you on your way from the Sewers to the Helipad however you can't pick anything up.
You do come across Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X twice through the out but I swear there is actually an room you must take damage in order to get pass it.
It's the one on the second floor as soon you get in there it's filled with Zombies now what the fuck man you can't even shoot fast enough to kill an few of them before one of them grabs you.
I thought the end screen looked pretty good compared to his on Resident Evil 4 in The Mercenaries.
Before I talk about Extreme Battle I really wanted to get this out of the way The Tofu Survivor.
To unlock such an hard mini game you must play the scenarios three times which makes in an single save slot you must beat the game six times with one having an A ranking.
It's fucking hard as shit that you must be hardcore enough to even give this an go or you will die until you say oh the hell of this.
It plays exactly like Hunk's scenario with the beginning even opening with Hunk's voice.
You actually are playing as an giant piece of Tofu yes I'm not fucking with you it's in the game.
It's the strongest character of the game with an unique feature where it will change colors depending on it's status for example it will turn blue which means it's poisoned.
The end screen is supposed to be funny yet similar to Hunk's with slight edits if I'm not mistaken.
It does say an language that most countries can't understand making the character terrible though it's supposed to an parody of Hunk's scenario.
Here is an interesting fact with an Game Shark on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis you can play as Tofu what the fuck right.
Finally we get to Extreme Battle now before I go into details about it time for an fact in the original Resident Evil on Sega Saturn there did exist Battle Mode.
That's right it's the only version of the game to date to have this mini game where you play as Chris or Jill as you face every enemy including an Wesker Zomibe and gold Tyrant-002 that's stronger.
If you have that version of the game then all you do is beat the game or put in an cheat code to play it.
It's also true that Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) gives you four characters including two versions of an character.
It follows how the original Battle Mode plays where you must kill every enemy however instead of fighting all the bosses you face an boss for each character.
Now back to Extreme Battle this was an successor to Battle Mode that most fans knew about because it was so good to play.
You can play as Leon, Claire, Ada and making an surprise return Chris from the original.
You have to play the first two difficulties to fully unlock everything in this mini game which isn't hard.
I love playing as Leon and Chris because those two in my opinion had the best weapons out of the four.
It has an story that was okay but the levels plays pretty good as the first two levels are from point A to B.
The last level usually takes the longest what you do here is find four antivirus bombs.
If you are crazy enough to try the hardest difficulty there you are in for an surprise.
Unlike Leech Hunter where if you picked up leech charms that you can't dropped in this one you can put them in an Inventory Box if you need room to put more stuff in your Inventory.
Only two bosses appear in this mini game which are the G-Type which was the first boss for all the scenarios not involving Hunk and Tofu's.
The other one was the fourth form of William that acts like an giant Cerberus yes it's true it does.
It's also true that Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X appears in this mini game even in some areas there's two of them.
I come go on and on about Resident Evil 2 all day long that no matter how good they try to make an game it just won't beat such an classic that I will always remember the best Resident Evil in existence.
I am Jack Red and thank you for your time to read about the best Resident Evil games of all time.
Why can't you write about something else well I'll tell you I have but I think Resident Evil shows one of my most interesting looks on things.
So you are sick of me talking about Resident Evil then tough shit it's my fucking blog go somewhere else assholes.
I can't make one on the worst games of the series because I think there isn't enough for me to work off of so I am just doing the best.
Besides Resident Evil the only two series I got to play that were just as good as this was Silent Hill and They Hunger.
Yes I am aware that They Hunger series were mods for the first Half-Life but it still stands as one of the scariest one ever made.
It's the big one that I was planning to make for you guys out there cheering the series on even today.
Before I get to the list I won't be including the cell phone games so if you expected one I'm sorry.
Top 5 Best Resident Evil Games
5. Resident Evil 0
The prequel to the first game of the series has to be one my top 5 list because it was unique in it's own right.
I love the fact you can play as Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen through out the game while switching between them at any given time.
The team reused the same engine as Resident Evil remake on the Game Cube with some good improvements.
It has an good selection of enemies that are fun to kill especially those fucking annoying Eliminators those are assholes.
One change that didn't set well with me was that only Rebecca could mix the herbs and not Billy now in the other games that didn't matter at all so why the fuck did they said oh let's throw in an curve ball for our fans fucking assholes.
I did some research on the following and it will get a little confusing there actually exist a lot of Leech Mens which are leeches that looks like Dr. James Marcus.
The best weapons for them are Shotgun and Grenade Launcher because it can wipe you with it's arm and attack you as if it was an Zombie.
The confusion behind that was there does exist in Resident Evil: Oubtreak an Leech Zombie though it isn't exactly what this is.
It's a group of leeches that cover of an person and the only way to kill it is by leading it to the room then burn it to death.
The worst thing about this creature was if one of your teammate dies then the remaining leeches will take over their bodies and won't fall for the same trick.
Both these creatures are different species of Leeches meaning they don't have the same Queen Leech.
The Queen Leech of Resident Evil 0 is an hell of creature and takes more shot than even the Tyrant-001 in both it's fight.
Sadly it does transform into an nearly unstoppable creature with sunlight as it's weakness what you do for that one is hold off the Queen until Rebecca has opened the Shutters.
The final form still standing as one of the hardest boss fights in history of Resident Evil.
Now the other Queen Leech is just an giant Leech nothing special and fighting it isn't fun at all.
In you are familiar with the other titles then you should know that there isn't any Inventory Boxes in this game that's because you can throw your shit all over the floor.
An nice feature they added that helps out a lot is when you go to the Map screen you pick an floor and where ever you dropped your equipment will appear.
I think it has an good selection of weapons including the ones you must unlock by beating the game.
The bosses are for the most pretty simple to beat especially Centurion and Tyrant-001.
The hidden outfits weren't too bad I really like Billy's new one as well as Rebecca's leather outfit though the cowgirl one was okay for me.
All you have to do to unlock these outfits for our heroes is simply beat the game it doesn't matter how long it takes or what difficulty you have it set on.
In my opinion the best thing about the game was it's mini game called Leech Hunter.
In Leech Hunter you must collect 100 leech charms now you can collect enough for an rank while unlocking the prize.
Billy needs the blue ones as Rebecca must collect the green ones however ten leech charms takes up an slot in your inventory so becareful.
You also can't drop your leech charms once you pick them up that adds to the difficulty of the mini game.
Leech Hunter prizes includes more Machine Gun ammo found through out the game, infinite Handgun bullets and an Magnum Revolver.
It's hard to believe when you get real close to the highest rank that some rooms will have enemies inside even after you clean it out before.
The top prize that's hard to achieve in Leech Hunter is having every weapon unlimited ammo.
4. Resident Evil 5
I know a lot of you guys are going to disagree with me and send me insults well for the ones that are going to do that you can kiss my ass bitch...
I will confess Resident Evil 5 is an good game that out sold Resident Evil 2 in such short time.
You play as Chris Redfield who was last seen in Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and an new character new Sheva who stands in for Jill.
I really like the weapons you can get in this weapon such as Chris's Gatling Gun, Hydra, etc.
They kept the same knife feature of Resident Evil 4 which really helps and doesn't stop your game play at all.
One of the few changes I didn't like was the colors of herbs went down by one and you can only use two green herbs instead of three of them mixed.
It was kinda unknown how the herbs were mixed in the other games but here you can make your own spray.
I also like the fact you can play by yourself with an computer or play with someone else now that's fucking awesome.
The bosses aren't too bad such as Wesker who can be quite fun to fight or U-8 that spawns these little creatures that you can kill for ammo.
I wanted to say that I did check online to see if U-8 was related to U-3 in Resident Evil 4 and the answer is they aren't related though both have the same idea behind their creation.
My favorite line of the series was said by an Boss after beating him that goes like this "It doesn't matter anyway because you're still screwed" priceless.
I like the level where you can go around with an boat as well as the level where you ride in an jeep firing like no tomorrow.
The shop in this one was pretty good though I fucking love buying from the Merchant of Resident Evil 4.
That brings me up to my next point who the fuck is running the store fucking BSAA themselves.
Uroboros Virus in this game is an mixature of T-Virus and Las Plagas that's an deadly combination.
The idea of Wesker being the main villain of an game was eventually going to happen however it wasn't as faithful as I hope it would be.
I really didn't care for the voice actor who did him in the game with Wesker's plan about exposing the entire world with Uroboros Virus was kinda stupid.
Why do I think that you asked well I will tell you this is the guy who basically fucked everyone over for power yet I thought he would use the events of the game as an test for something bigger.
I know what a lot of you must be wondering how can it be bigger than sending an plane real high in the Sky in the no fly zone with the virus infecting the world.
He could've have escaped then create some more monsters than send them out in an way that it can't be tracked to him and doesn't look like it would have em inside.
Sure it would've taken much longer but we would have more story as well as more interesting creatures killing civilians.
The fact that Wesker was killed in this game didn't happen at all what I thought was going to happen.
Now considering how hard it is to kill him what I thought could've worked was trapped somewhere nearly impossible that's wired to blow.
It is hard to picture what would really been able to kill him since he can heal much faster than humans do.
Wesker in an sense was an disappointment though the action scenes with the boss fights kinda make up for it.
It comes close to the biggest disappointment involving Wesker in history the only thing topping that was Wesker in Resident Evil: Extinction however the character as shown in the trailers has been retooled.
I actually though this idea would work better than TG-Virus of Resident Evil: Dead Aim that is unstable.
The Inventory in this game is about the size of Outbreak series however unlike that series there's another inventory that both characters shared which was an nice tough.
It has such an good selection of enemies you can fight with even tougher sub bosses than those featured in Resident Evil 4.
You actually can unlock alter effects for the game to play such as classic horror for those such as myself who enjoy that stuff.
You can also unlock if you beat the game fast enough the unlimited ammo feature that helps when you're in an tight spot.
If you got all those medals through out the game then you unlock the first set of new outfits for Chris and Sheva to wear.
The Mercenaries on this one was good but tougher than the last one though the selection of characters was much better.
I mean playing as the S.T.A.R.S. version of Chris and Wesker was an good idea however where the fuck is Jill's at.
The levels in that one went up from the last one's four to eight levels you can play for fun.
The worst thing about this is if you play with someone else then you need double the points to get the ranking you need to keep unlocking stuff.
Sadly I got banned before playing all of the new content introduced in the Gold Edition however I did play Versus.
I actually have played a little of Versus now it plays The Mercenaries except you can also fight other players.
I think that's more fun than The Mercenaries of Resident Evil 5 because you still fight the normal enemies and you can keep killing them.
I promise that sometime in the near future I will be reviewing Lost in Nightmares, Desperate Escape and Mercenaries Reunion.
3. Resident Evil (Remake)
I do like the original as it was the very game that made Survival Horror known to the entire world.
I thought the remake wasn't better than the original but I was wrong, dead wrong.
You play as Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine it has some changes in their scenarios though it's the same story being told.
Briefly if you play as Chris you can play as Rebecca to help out such as making the V-Jolt then use it on Plant 42's root.
They made it tougher to beat with the new bosses as well as Crimson Heads that could appear at any time through the game.
Some enemies can actually break through the doors until they find you which is crazy yet it does scary people new to the game.
The bosses were better than most Resident Evil games such as the infamous Tyrant-002 and Plant 42.
Basically it's similar to Resident Evil 0 all you have to day is beat the game to get this key however depending on which character and time you played through the game unlocks two new outfits for each.
The hidden outfits in this one are awesome such as Jill wearing an Sarah Connor from Terminator series outfit or Chris wearing his Code Veronica uniform.
You also can wear Jill's RE3 outfit and Chris's The Mexican Outfit which also effects Rebecca.
I like the files you can collect in the game though many people don't know this if you heard of Wesker's Report well there's an sequel that explains his career in Umbrella.
According to the creator Shinji Mikami that it's 70% different from the original which is true.
In this version had story that was originally cut out of the original game making it one of the best stories ever.
It does have slightly better voice acting than the original game which was somewhat laughable like you were almost an Jill sandwich priceless.
They did change where some of the key items around making the game harder even introducing some new areas making those who love the Spencer Mansion as much as me.
The weapons are pretty good though not as good as Resident Evil 4 and 5 but it deserves some fucking respect.
You can also armed yourself with an Dagger which both Chris and Jill through out the game.
Now Chris has Flash Grenades which are best known for the fastest ammo saving way to kill the Crimson Head Prototype.
Jill has her Taser which in many women in the real life actually wear them for protection.
Before I go on explaining how I feel about the game sorry if I offended any ladies out there.
You can unlock an special zombie if you beat the game as both characters where in some areas Forest of S.T.A.R.S. will chase you in the first half of the game however killing it will give you an game over.
I also enjoy working these puzzles as I think they are the best of the series even going as far as an even optional one to get the Magnum.
You also can unlock two more variation of the game that makes it even more challenging for those who stand as hardcore Resident Evil fans.
The first of these was Real Survivor Mode originally it was going to be in an the game however they didn't think it would set well with fans so it was scrapped.
Basically you can't auto aim meaning you got to turn the gun yourself didn't work well in those game.
Look how Resident Evil 4 and 5 you aim now if that was in the game then it wouldn't have to be an big fucking deal but oh it is.
You don't choice of the difficulties though it's already set on hard for realism of the game.
The biggest change in Real Survivor Mode is now those Item Boxes helped you in the past are your worst enemies.
You must memorize which Item Box you must some key item in or you will be searching all over maybe even getting yourself killed.
No wonder they scrapped that idea it made the game too tough for many people to play.
Sadly the game gets even tougher than that with Invisbile Enemy now you unlock it by simply beating Real Survivor Mode though it isn't simple to do.
You still don't have auto aim though the Item Boxes are connected to each other again.
You once again can choice the difficulty but every enemy in the entire game is invisible though there are ways how to fight them.
Only the most hardcore Resident Evil fans can beat this nearly impossible variation of the game.
If you are really good at the game then beating Invisible Enemy Mode can be done and you are award with an surprise slide show of unused looks in the game.
You have multiple endings in the game though some parts actually effects the outcome of it for example taking Barry's Magnum and keeping.
2. Resident Evil 4
I always love playing Resident Evil 4 because it so damn good even it's camera angle and controls are best of the series.
You play as Leon S. Kennedy last time canonically seen in Resident Evil 2 is on an mission to rescue Ashley at all cost.
I was surprised that it had some good voice acting though just like Sonic Adventure was follow by an good sequel that lack it.
I have owned it on Game Cube, PC and Wii so I will be bringing up new content that was introduced through PS2 port.
I like that you can get an bigger Inventory Case as you keep playing the game over and over.
Originally like Resident Evil remake and 0 on Game Cube it was an two disc game though that change soon after that got ported.
Eventually the other two games became an whole without needing to stopping the game play at one point as they got ported to the Wii.
The weapons are really good though I will confess Resident Evil 5 has some damn good weapons.
I love the Handcannon, Chicago Typewriter and Infinite Launcher because only an handful of unlimited ammo weapons were worth having however most of them in this game are so worth it.
The enemy selection was well thought out even with the sub bosses making the game more fun to play.
After the sales of Resident Evil 0 weren't good enough Capcom decide to make this game as good it is today.
To be honest I actually like that though who doesn't love an game you can search everywhere while destroying stuff on your way to where you are suppose to go.
I really like the boss fights as they are so much fun such as Krauser, Verdugo and El Gigante.
You do have to escort Ashley who keeps reminding me of Sherry from Resident Evil 2 though they do similar in fact they act similar this let up to an confusion among fans.
Capcom did announce who the character is and many were surprised that it wasn't Sherry Birkin.
The Merchant can be funny at times like buying an Handcannon and his famous quote "What would you like to buy Stranger" classic.
I'll tell you what I want to buy how about an fucking nuke do you got any of those.
Speaking of The Merchant he also runs an Shooting Range that is quite fun to play and you can earn caps based on people that appeared in the game.
The laser part of the game was inspired by the first movie though that scene was awesome.
Just in case you were wondering yes I am aware that the Tyrant in Resident Evil: Extinction was killed by the same pattern of lasers that killed the leader of S.T.A.R.S. in the first movie.
You can also get this game in Resident Evil: The Essentials that also includes Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) and the first Outbreak.
You can unlock two more hidden outfits that actually appeal to me a lot that I must speak out about them.
Basically similar to Resident Evil 0 and 1 remake you have to beat the game to unlock.
The first one you unlock gives Leon his Resident Evil 2 outfit, Ashley an hot teen clothes and Ada wears her Assignment Ada uniform.
You just need to beat Separate Ways to unlock these costumes that a lot of people wouldn't stop talking about.
The second one actually effects the game more which makes it the most unique hidden costumes of the series.
Leon looks like an classic Gangster with the Chicago Typewriter having an different clip type.
You can an special pose in your Inventory screen and an new animation for reloading it which is awesome.
Ashley wears an suit of armor yes I'm not kidding now no enemies including an El Gigante can pick her up and no one can hurt her especially you.
I'm dead fucking serious you can fire rockets, bullets and throw grenades at her yet it doesn't even effect her at all.
Considering she's a hell lot heavier it's funny to keep watching Leon trying to get her down.
The knife automatically being equipped is such an good idea because in the previous games you had to pick an weapon and that's it though the remake does have self defense weapons.
The Mercenaries I said before was my favorite mini game of the series for many reasons.
You can play as Leon, Ada, Krauser, Hunk and Wesker are in this one mini game now doesn't that kick ass.
I will be honest I was okay playing as Hunk though I enjoy playing as him in Resident Evil 2 much more.
Every time I play as Krauser I'm like fucking Rambo that's how good I am with him in fact an friend of mine saw how good I was with him.
Wesker and Ada takes some practice to know what you can do with them to beat the level.
Leon is an good character though compared to Krauser and Wesker he isn't that good but that's just me.
The levels are based on an Village, Castle, Military Base and Island with their own bosses.
The infamous boss of this mini game was an Giant double bladed Chainsaw guy as he sure can scare little kids in an second.
He's also the toughest boss of the mini game due to how much ammo it takes to kill him.
Assignment Ada was an okay mini game but compared to The Mercenaries and Separate Ways it fucking sucks.
You play as Ada Wong who last appeared in Resident Evil 2 who you thought died after falling off an rail.
Your mission is to collect five samples of Las Plagas though it isn't canonical due to her never actually wearing military gears outside of this as well as there's only one known sample of the parasite exists.
Separate Ways was so good however it just isn't as fun as The Mercenaries but it's fun enough to be my second favorite mini game of the series.
You once again play as Ada Wong except this time it's canonical that takes place during Resident Evil 4.
You can buy from The Merchant though you can't upgrade any weapons in the mini game though you can unlock the Chicago Typewriter.
Before I go on about how fun this fucker is I wanted to say that this weapon also appears in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii as an one of the hidden weapons however it has limited ammo.
That's because the very same team who worked on the Wii port of Resident Evil 4 also made that port of Dead Rising though it feels like an different game to me.
In one level you can use two turrents where you had to get something for it before you have to get inside them.
The first one is an heavy machine gun that's used to destroy an few enemy turrents before you can get to the other turrent.
The other turrent was an rocket one that's used to destroy the rest of those enemy turrents.
You do fight an El Gigante similar to the optional boss fight with him in the main game.
I think fighting Krauser in this mini game is more interesting and fun to play.
The biggest surprise for me when I first played it was fighting shortly after beating Krauser was Osmund Saddler.
You actually get to fight him in his human form which is harder to do because unlike his final form against Leon you must force out his main eye that appears in his mouth.
You better bring as much ammo as you can unless you got the Chicago Typewriter or you're fucked.
You also unlock Movie Browser for both the main game and Separate Ways where you can view any cutscene you want at any given time.
Before I reveal what number 1 I wanted to do an quick Honorable Mentions of games that could've been on this list...
1. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
2. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
3. Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version)
4. Resident Evil: Dead Aim
5. Resident Evil: Outbreak
6. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
1. Resident Evil 2
If you seen my videos then you already knew that to me no Resident Evil game is better than Resident Evil 2.
I will confess I love playing the games however this was the very game I played as an kid that pulled me into the series.
Don't get me wrong yes I did play the original as an kid but I didn't get as much into until a couple of years later.
This is the only Resident Evil game where in several areas you can actually shoot the TV screen which quickly got attention.
You play as Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield in such an unique scenario system that goes beyond the original.
In Resident Evil you have only two scenarios but multiple endings well how about this you pick an character then finish their game to do the other character's scenario.
It's hard to believe that there's actually four scenarios created just for this game similar to the development of Resident Evil 4 a few years later they wanted this to be good.
I also love the gore they put into this one sadly Resident Evil 3: Nemesis failed to make it better than that.
Why is this such an big deal well I'll tell you in later games besides getting your head cut off by Chainsaw maniacs and that thing with claws kind like Wolverine there wasn't anything close to how gory Resident Evil 2 was.
For example if you have an upgraded Shotgun and fired at an group of Zombies watch what happens bang there goes some limbs you can even blow an Zombie in half.
I got to be honest I didn't like 3 or Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) Zombies as much as I like 2's though the original and 0 are pretty close.
If you can get to the Police Station and go down those stairs without picking anything up then you will come across Brad Vickers from Resident Evil as an Zombie.
You can kill him to get the key in the Dark Room to wear an different outfit now I believe Leon has two outfits compared to Claire who has one outfit now she gets an Single Action Army.
If you play Metal Gear Solid series then you damn know what an Single Action Army actually is.
It's an Revolver made to hold six bullets that once fired the bullets will bounce off the walls like crazy however that don't happen in this game.
I know what a lot of you are thinking sure the camera angle isn't as good as Resident Evil 4 and 5 well for just this one game fuck you I actually like it.
Surprisingly the bosses do bring fear to the table because you get to face an Giant Alligator.
To be honest as an kid that thing scared the shit out of me I couldn't believe how fucking big it was.
It's so big that even if it was real and Steve Irwin was alive he couldn't handle it now I do apologize for using him as an example but who else is known to handle those kind of creatures than him.
William became famous to the fans from this game because what he becomes with the G-Virus which he did create.
Here's another interesting fact Resident Evil: Degeneration which was the first Resident Evil movie created by it's creators made it similar to the game even having Leon and Claire back together.
Curtis Miller takes the G-Virus late in the movie and you will see why to me that virus was the most unique out of them all.
The weapons are quite good in fact they're better than the original even the hidden weapons such as Sub Machine Gun, Gatling Gun and Rocket Launcher all with unlimited ammo.
Here is an fact in the Dual Shock version of the game you can play Rookie Mode which already has all three hidden weapons unlocked.
I also like you can enter an code for unlimited ammo for every weapon now that's an damn good idea sadly they never did it again.
I can't say I haven't played the N64 version but I am aware that it doesn't have Extreme Battle, EX files that further the storyline and three new codes.
The N64 version also includes an randomizer which randomly puts things meaning the game will have an different item placement each time you play.
You also have the option in that version to change the color of the blood now if I remember correctly Silent Hill games until 4: The Room had that feature.
You can unlock Hunk, Tofu and enter god mode with those codes which makes it not only the easiest version of the game but the best port of it.
The enemy selection was just as good as the original though you got to worry more about the poisonous ones such as Plant 43 AKA Ivys and Web Spinners.
The 4th Survivor is an close second best mini game of Resident Evil 2 only behind Extreme Battle.
You can unlock it by beating either scenario with an A rank if you can do that then it's time to play the hidden scenario of the game.
It's the first canonical mini game in the entire series though you also could say he is an hidden character with Tofu.
He comes armed with an Handgun, Magnum and Shotgun which makes him quite fun to play as.
You also has two green and blue herbs to help you on your way from the Sewers to the Helipad however you can't pick anything up.
You do come across Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X twice through the out but I swear there is actually an room you must take damage in order to get pass it.
It's the one on the second floor as soon you get in there it's filled with Zombies now what the fuck man you can't even shoot fast enough to kill an few of them before one of them grabs you.
I thought the end screen looked pretty good compared to his on Resident Evil 4 in The Mercenaries.
Before I talk about Extreme Battle I really wanted to get this out of the way The Tofu Survivor.
To unlock such an hard mini game you must play the scenarios three times which makes in an single save slot you must beat the game six times with one having an A ranking.
It's fucking hard as shit that you must be hardcore enough to even give this an go or you will die until you say oh the hell of this.
It plays exactly like Hunk's scenario with the beginning even opening with Hunk's voice.
You actually are playing as an giant piece of Tofu yes I'm not fucking with you it's in the game.
It's the strongest character of the game with an unique feature where it will change colors depending on it's status for example it will turn blue which means it's poisoned.
The end screen is supposed to be funny yet similar to Hunk's with slight edits if I'm not mistaken.
It does say an language that most countries can't understand making the character terrible though it's supposed to an parody of Hunk's scenario.
Here is an interesting fact with an Game Shark on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis you can play as Tofu what the fuck right.
Finally we get to Extreme Battle now before I go into details about it time for an fact in the original Resident Evil on Sega Saturn there did exist Battle Mode.
That's right it's the only version of the game to date to have this mini game where you play as Chris or Jill as you face every enemy including an Wesker Zomibe and gold Tyrant-002 that's stronger.
If you have that version of the game then all you do is beat the game or put in an cheat code to play it.
It's also true that Resident Evil Code: Veronica (X being the updated version) gives you four characters including two versions of an character.
It follows how the original Battle Mode plays where you must kill every enemy however instead of fighting all the bosses you face an boss for each character.
Now back to Extreme Battle this was an successor to Battle Mode that most fans knew about because it was so good to play.
You can play as Leon, Claire, Ada and making an surprise return Chris from the original.
You have to play the first two difficulties to fully unlock everything in this mini game which isn't hard.
I love playing as Leon and Chris because those two in my opinion had the best weapons out of the four.
It has an story that was okay but the levels plays pretty good as the first two levels are from point A to B.
The last level usually takes the longest what you do here is find four antivirus bombs.
If you are crazy enough to try the hardest difficulty there you are in for an surprise.
Unlike Leech Hunter where if you picked up leech charms that you can't dropped in this one you can put them in an Inventory Box if you need room to put more stuff in your Inventory.
Only two bosses appear in this mini game which are the G-Type which was the first boss for all the scenarios not involving Hunk and Tofu's.
The other one was the fourth form of William that acts like an giant Cerberus yes it's true it does.
It's also true that Tyrant-103 AKA Mr. X appears in this mini game even in some areas there's two of them.
I come go on and on about Resident Evil 2 all day long that no matter how good they try to make an game it just won't beat such an classic that I will always remember the best Resident Evil in existence.
I am Jack Red and thank you for your time to read about the best Resident Evil games of all time.
