Video Game Reviews of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Customer Review: A Ghoul's Review
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is simply marveloussss! The controls are worth DYING for hehehehe...
Poor, poor pretty little red-head Claire. Pulled into Umbrella Corp'ssss scheme in raccoon city. She starts out locked in a tiny little cell, free's herself and ventures up into the outside world above her. Her brother Chris Redfield is also featured as a playable character. Ah yes, the more, the merrier.
-Did I mention how wonderful these controls are?-
So slow we are to catch them would have been disappointing, but these control buttonssss make it all the easier for us. Watch as the player(s) in frustration try to move one of these dinner-delights from our range. So slowly shall they turn just to step away from us that we latch onto their legs if we're close enough! What's even better yet is that the more of us around, the bigger the banquet. Hehehe. A game that is fair to us undead!
-Let's not forget the weaponssss now.-
Some of those dastardly weapons like the guns can be a painful and quick end to zombies. But weapons such as knives are useless! These pitiful cheap weapons do little to no damage to our kin, and oh yes, it makes it easy to swarm those two lively creatures and take them down with ease. The player is better off running away from us than using a knife to fight!
*Oh, but how delightful the producers were in making ammo scarce. A wise player would conserve their ammo if all possible.
-Our environment is drank, dark, and eerie.-
There's a tension of any of us "popping" up for a visit at any time. Did I mention that we can interact with backgrounds? So don't feel ssssafe behind a glassssss window. Some areas are visibly hard to see in as well. A sudden noise, an absent dripping fountain, a terrified scream or a dead body being dragged into a gap are one of the several aspects in our 'home'.
-Ah yes, the enemies of the living.-
Of course there is the zombie virus. Plentiful, slow creatures they are that are powerful in groups. Let's not forget about a zombie's best friend!. Dogs are agile,aggressive creatures that will chase any living being down. But it gets even better. Earth-shaking worms that burrow themselves under the ground that enjoy the game of "hide-n-seek". Then there is the mutated monsters. These creatures have a tendency of long-range attacks and can quickly "pop-up" in gaps that the other undead simply wouldn't survive. So many terrorsss, so little time.
-Mysterious Plotssss?-
Now now, I'm not one to give spoilers out but wouldn't you, the player, want to know what's going on? This is the feeling that comes from this game. Given the option of digging deeper, or try to find the quickest way possible out of raccoon city. The choice is yours. But don't venture off to ssssoon...we'd rather enjoy the company...
"Greatest Hits" Need I say more? But why settle just for this when you can have the essentials edition? This game is for any human...or ghoul...
Description of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
After narrowly surviving the horrific onslaught in Raccoon City, Claire Redfield now seeks clues in search of her missing brother, Chris. The Umbrella Corp. memo reads: "Confidential: Phase I-Raccoon City. Test Complete. Phase II-Paris Facility. Fully Operational." Flesh-eating zombies, horrific beasts and even stranger mutations have spread to a global scale. Just how far does this twisted conspiracy extend? What is Umbrella Corp. really up to? And, who is behind this biotech terror? To her horror, she discovers Umbrella Corp.'s insidious activities are not isolated to the remote, Midwestern city. Warning: This title is intended for mature audiences. You must be 17 or older to purchase. It may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. By ordering this item, you are certifying that you are at least 17 years of age.A port of the Dreamcast hit, the PlayStation2 version of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X offers the same fantastic survival-horror adventure with some improvements in the graphics department. This update also includes some nifty bonuses: 10 minutes of additional cutscenes and a demo of Devil May Cry. Taking place after Resident Evil 2, the game puts players in control of Claire Redfield as she continues to search for her brother and investigates the ominous Umbrella Corporation. Players also occasionally play as a partner character during the hours of puzzle solving and zombie killing. Parents should take note that this is an M-rated title filled with blood, gore, and violence.
Though the game's outstanding graphics are even better than in the Dreamcast version, the camera is still annoying. The jerky and awkward controls--a problem throughout the series--add to the player's frustration. Despite these problems, this is still one of the best of all survival-horror games, and a fine specimen of interactive storytelling. But veterans of the series will find nothing new and will be irritated by the same old problems. This game is best for players with limited or no experience with the series. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros:
- Awesome cutscenes
- Compelling story
- Devil May Cry demo
- Awful control scheme
- Troublesome camera
- Tedious puzzles
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X comes with a bonus playable demo ofDevil May Cry.Resident Evil: Code Veronica X begins as Claire Redfield leaves Raccoon City for the European headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation to search for her brother Chris and solve the mystery surrounding Umbrella Corporation's dreaded biotoxins. She is captured during her investigation and sent to a prison on a desolate island.
In Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, players control Claire at the beginning of the game, and later assume the role of Chris Redfield in their efforts to halt Umbrella's devious plans. One of the many features that make Code Veronica X different from previous Resident Evil games is the Real World System (RWS). Now when Claire affects changes to her environment (opening doors, solving puzzles, storing items), those changes remain while you play the second half of the game as Chris.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X contains never-before-seen footage that focuses on battles between Chris and the enigmatic Wesker, and sheds new insight into the ominous Resident Evil story line. To her horror, Claire discovers Umbrella Corporation's insidious activities are not isolated to the remote Midwestern city. Flesh-eating zombies, horrific beasts, and even stranger mutations have spread on a global scale. Just how far does this twisted conspiracy extend? Nope.
