Still the best of the RE games
This is truly one of the greatest games ever made! Forget the remake,the original has that B-Horror movie flavor that tastes goood! This is one of the most important games ever! It's got a scary soundtrack,2-D texture maps with polygonal 3-D characters(which were at the time considered revolutionary),intriguing puzzles and an involving storyline! What more could you ask for? A Next Gen console game? Good luck! Cause your next Gen consoles don't make em' like these anymore!

Can't beat a classic...
First and foremost, the graphics are choppy, and the voice overs are horrid. Resident Evil (PS1) was a pioneer in the sense that it played a huge role in opening the "survival horror" genre, but also for everything else Resident Evil, i.e. Game sequels, Movies, Books, Etc. At this point in time, Resident Evil, the original for PS1, is strictly for people who have A: Played it before when it first came out, and liked it, or B: For dedicated fans and/or collectors of the RE series. The '96 release of RE is not a game that can really be appreciated, or "picked up" by this "younger" generation, because few people can go back to those kind of graphics and game-play, when they've been raised, and used to the "New-Gen" consoles.

IT WILL SCARE THE HELL OUTTA YOU
NOT ONLY IS THIS GAME GREAT TO PLAY BUT ITS REALLY SCARY. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME WAS REALLY LATE AT NIGHT AROUND 1130 PM, I LOCKED MY DOOR, CLOSED ALL THE WINDOW CURTAINS, GOT ME SOME SNACKS AND DRINKS, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST POPPED THE GAME INTO MY ORIGINAL PLAYSTATION AND TURNED UP THE VOLUME ON THE TV. THIS GAME REALLY SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME, I WOULD USE ANOTHER WORD BESIDES HELL BUT I DONT WANT TO BE RUDE TO ANYONE ELSE. THE MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS SENDED CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE AND I GOT GOOSE BUMPS, BUT THE GAME WAS STILL FUN AND ADDICTING TO PLAY. BY THE TIME I STARTED TO SEE DAYLIGHT I WAS NOT THAT SCARED. SO GIVE THIS GAME A TRY AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF, BUT MAKE SURE YOU PLAY IT TILL DAYLIGHT OR YOU WILL HAVE TO SLEEP AT A MINIMUM WITH YOUR READING LAMP ON. JUST KIDDING, FOR REAL TRY THIS GAME OUT, ITS REALLY FUN.

Best game--will remain a classic
perhaps the founder of the survival horror genre, Resident Evil is a classic that spun off an entire series of wit, zombies, and survival. In my opinion it is the best of all.
the graphics are poor by today's standards, i'll admit that. Of course, this was made in 1996-98(i forget which year). The game uses 2D pre-rendered images with 3D characters and monsters, and uses cheesy violence, shooting, and voice acting, but just remember this game is a playstation 1 game...we've already reached a high deff ps3.
the story revolves around cannabolistic homicides occurring in the small mid-western Raccoon City. When one team of police officers vanishes during investigation, another goes into the woods searching for them, only to find a crashed helicopter and a hoard of mutant dogs, who chase them. The group seeks refuge in an empty mansion, which is discovered to be infested with the living dead. Here, the player must use ammo and weapons around them to keep themselves alive and escape from the mansion.
The classic gameplay and amazing story led to a whole franchise of sequels, movies(unrelated to the series' main plot but good to its own merit), and even novels (which i highly reccommend for RE fans). The game that started all survival horror...i give you Resident Evil.

A Must Have on your Shelf
Say listen, I'm not going to say anything different than anyone else have said about this game, but I would like to say that this game was the sole reason I got the Playstation!!!! So, it's great that a game sells the console. Otherwise I would've gone with Nintendo 64!!! Yikes!!! I'm a fan of the whole creepy game genre, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, etc. But, I must say, it was much more creepier if the game would've stayed in the mansion, because once it went into a Lab, that's where the game kinda became boring. I love the whole mansion concept. Imagine the main boss loose in the mansion lurking around every corridor!!! That's be pretty scary. I mean the main monster was very scary. I kinda hoped he would've been the main monster in the first Resident Evil movie. Instead it was a "licker" from the Resident Evil 2 games. I would've been more scared of the Tyrant than the Licker in the movies. Nevertheless, this game is a true CLASSIC. Get it before it becomes a collectors item and you'll have to spend big bucks to buy it!
