Resident Evil: Code Veronica X

Resident Evil: Code Veronica was originally released on the Sega Dreamcast. It had been in development alongside Resident Evil 3, but Code Veronica featured completely 3D backgrounds and an original story. The game follows Claire Redfield as she is imprisoned by Umbrella in an unknown island. Things quickly go to hell when there is a T-Virus outbreak.

Code Veronica X is the Playstation 2 port with added features and 10 minutes of extra cutscenes. The graphics are nice and solid and the music is pretty good at setting the mood. There are a lot of minor improvements to the series, such as the quick turn around, better item placement and story progression. The game is longer than previous Resident Evils, and I read somewhere that the game area is bigger than both Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 combined.

This game is way better than Resident Evil 3. Returning characters Claire, Chris, and Wesker make this game feel familiar, and the added enemies and villains are good additions. The only weakness is the character Steve, he's pretty corny. Well, at least he makes for a good story element later in the game. The atmosphere is darker, closer to the original game than the cartoony RE3.

There are a couple of parts in Code Veronica that will test your skills and you might actually get stuck. I've seen people get stuck at the airplane section with the Tyrant, getting thoroughly owned with limited ammo. I played through the game with my bro recently and we did pretty good until we reached the final boss. We had no fucking ammo so we had to knife the shit out of it. It was a losing battle, but with perserverance and several shots of tequila we weakened the bitch and took her out. Haha I still remember that shit, what an accomplishment. | Post a comment
