ST>         I disagree. The ongoing story with Umbrella is a big part of the
 ST> game. I hope that they really go into this in the Resident Evil movie.
 ST> Ada, who was a side character in RE2 wrote messages that we read in the
 ST> original RE, as well as wondering what happened to the original STARS
 ST> team, and who was the "mystery woman" near the end of the game.
 ST>         If anything it added a sense of horror, foreboding, and the
 ST> sense of unescapable doom with having the story mostly revealed in
 ST> journals and notes throughout the game from those who couldn't escape
 ST> the horror as it was unfolding.
 ST>         The games are as much finding out what happened as they are on
 ST> how to survive and escape.
  I suppose you've got me there, but the RE series still isn't exactly the 
culmination of plot development.  But then again, most games aren't!
