->
-> You don't even know the story to the games.  In RE Umbrella was
-> researching a virus.  It some how escaped and affected a lot of peopl
-> the mansion.  You find out that the virus was made to produce the
-> Ultimate Biological Weapon which turns out to be Tyrant.  With the
-> help of Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Barry Burton they
-> stopped Albert Wesker. Now in RE2, You find out that Chris has
-> disappeared and Claire Redfield is looking for his brother.  There's
-> a new virus in town and it has affected the whole city.  The G-virus
-> is much better than the T-virus in everyway.  It has the ability to
-> heal itself and it can reproduce. You later find out that Chris took
-> off and went to the Umbrella Headquarters to take care of it (RE3
-> anyone?). The stories are different in RE2 depending on who you use.
->  Play the games.  They're very very good.  Resident Evil 2 is called
-> the Gaming Event of '98.  RE was called the est game in '96 by the
-> Player's Choice Awards (I think).
why does everybody worship this game?  it's got nice graphics, but i
find it rather boring:  Go into a room, shoot zombies, get keys, open
more doors, shoot more stuff, etc.  Has a nice story line, i won't hide
that, but i really didn't find it that enjoyable
