RF> Call me a heretic, but I didn't really like the PC demo of Resident
 RF> Evil.  What's so great about the game, anyway?  The interface could
 RF> really stand some enhancement (no matter what controller you use),
 RF> and the story and dialogue! I know some people like it as camp,
 RF> but it's just intolerable - the dialogue wasn't even funny most of
 RF> the time (although I did like "NO! Don't open THAT DOOR!" ). RE's
 RF> worst crime: it's not original in the least.  Some console gamers
 RF> say it is...but to paraphrase David Spade: "I liked it the first
 RF> time...when it was called Alone in the Dark!" AITD was released
 RF> in *'90 or '91*, for the PC. And it had a much better plotline.
 SI>        First of all, Resident Evil came out in early 
 SI> '96 and it was the best 
 SI> game of the year.  Not it's getting old.  But the plot 
        Best game of the year?  That's a joke.  There were games available 
for the PC that easily surpassed RE.
 SI> is really well done. 
 SI> You'll never see a plot like that on N64.  Most of the dialogue wasn't 
        The plot is horrible!  It's just too farfetched.  I would suggest 
thatN64's Shadows of the Empire had a better plot.   
 SI> supposed to be funny, just bad acting.  Resident Evil 
        I know, that's why it's labelled camp.  But the translation from 
Japanese was lousy to begin with.
 SI> is similar to Alone in 
 SI> the Dark beacuse of the camera angles.  Resident Evil 
 SI> is original because it 
 SI> was ment to scare.  No other game has done that except Tomb Raider 2.  I 
        TR2?  Scary?  Suspenseful, yes, but not really frightening, not in 
the least.  And there have been *plenty* of other games that have provided a 
scare...such as Alone in the Dark.
 SI> never played Alone in the Dark, so I can't realy say much about the 
plot. 
        It's based on H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos.  Need I say more?
