Resident Evil: Code Veronica X - Playstation 2

Everything you Feared! Includes New footage - Never before seen cut scenes. Playstation 2.
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

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.
