I?m tempted to get this, if no other reason than it being one of my favorite games from the PS1 era. I remember the first time I played it, really not even feeling well. Bad headache and just tired, under the weather. Then I started playing, exploring the Police Station and before long my discomfort seemed to fade away. There was something captivating about it, and even by 5th gen standards it seemed like such a leap from the original. I ended up playing the hell out of it and it?s the only RE I bothered getting a perfect rating for. Both Claire and Leon were fun to play as because the idea of seeing each of their perspectives was brilliantly implemented for the time. Hell there still isn?t much like it to this day. Many have imitated that aspect but to me it?s still the pioneer.
I?ve always generally liked Silent Hill more as a series due to the tone, atmosphere and setting (and I always appreciated being able to walk and shoot simultaneously), but oddly enough I never played any of them as much as I played RE2. Really curious to see how this turns out and I hope it?s as thrilling now as it was back then.
