Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: It's rather ironic that Resident Evil Code: Veronica X has rejuvenated the PS2's fortunes in Japan, because it's essentially identical to the original, year-old version on the Dreamcast. Code: Veronica is, however, a superb game that deserves as large an audience as possible, lest its heady mix of action, puzzles and lots and lots of zombies goes unappreciated by the masses. Unlike previous games in the series Code: Veronica is portrayed entirely in 3-D--although the atmospheric camera maintains an essentially static viewpoint for most of the time. The amazing graphics are obviously the main draw but you'll also find that some of the more irritating foibles of the series have been ironed out--such as the scarcity of ammo and camera angles that make combat unfairly difficult. The "X" at the end of the game's name indicates that this is a special edition, but the new stuff is limited to a couple of extra camera angles and some new cut scenes with uber-baddy Wesker. In terms of extras the most interesting aspect of the package is actually a demo of the forthcoming Devil May Cry. But unless you've already got the Dreamcast version, buy this for the game and treat the other stuff as a bonus because survival horror doesn't get any better than this. -- David Jenkins Product Description: Resident Evil Code: Veronica X begins as Claire Redfield leaves Raccoon City for Europe, headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation, in search of her brother Chris and to solve the mystery surrounding Umbrella Corporation's secretive activities. In her search she is captured and sent to an isolated prison on a desolate Island. While it remains unexplained how Chris, one of the original S.T.A.R.S. team members, appears in Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, players will be reacquainted with his iron will and munitions expertise to seek the truth behind the dreaded Umbrella biotoxins. 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 stop Umbrella's devious plans. One of the many features that make Code Veronica different from previous Resident Evil games is the Real World System (RWS). Now when Claire opens doors, solves puzzles, stores items or ammunition, they remain in the same spot when playing 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 character, Wesker, and sheds new insight into the ominous Resident Evil story line. Flesh-eating zombies, horrific beasts and even stranger mutations have spread on a global scale! Just how far does this twisted conspiracy extend? What is Umbrella Corporation really up to? And who is behind this bio-tech terror? To her horror, Claire discovers Umbrella Corporation's insidious activities are not isolated to the remote, mid-western city. No. Something much larger is going on here. Manufacturer's Description: Brace yourself for the ultimate in survival horror as Capcom's flagship Resident Evil series makes its stunning debut on PlayStation 2. Moving away from the traditional Racoon City location, Code Veronica X is set on a remote island that serves as HQ for the shadowy and unscrupulous Umbrella Corporation. As Resident Evil veteran Claire Redfield, your task is to track down brother Chris and unravel the dark secrets behind Umbrella and the strange events that have plagued Racoon City. Massively enhanced graphics and character animations, fiendish puzzles and photo-realistic environments promise to make this the most nerve-racking Resident Evil to date. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - resi evil v xThis is worth getting if you are collecting all the resident evil games. Taking place after resident evil 2, the series continues to be just as addictive and exciting as the previous games. Great graphics, great gameplay and the controls are not that bad. You get quite a few jumpy bits in the game and there is loads to do within the game. This is worth getting if you are a resident evil fan!! Rating: - veronica xPicking up a few months after the events of resi 2 Claire Redfield investigating a umbrella facility in Europe is captured & imprisoned on Rockfort island the prison is attacked & the virus is once against set loose Claire attempts to escape the island while her brother Chris sets out to find her & settle a score with former S.T.A.R.S traitor Albert Wesker. Code veronica x is a classic resi in every sense of the word complete with puzzles, herbs, typewriters & huge mutated freaks though its much longer than the others with a massive prison & an antarctic base to explore. This is a port of the ps2 version & if you have a ps2 there is no point at all in buying this on GC but if you don't there's every reason ... Read More: Rating:  - Resident Evil Code:Veronica XI have enjoyed Resident Evil since played Resi 2 on the PSone. I currently own Resident Evil (remake for gamecube), Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil 4 and this. I think capcom originally rushed this game onto the ps2 because they could. The story line looks dated and unoriginal. still a good second hand purchase Rating: - Could have done with some additions...OK, don't get me wrong with this title, its a great game! But.. it feels old, just like RE 2&3 on the Gamecube. I mean, it could have done with a graphic update or even new areas like with RE1 on the 'Cube. But anyway, despite no sort of updates its still an essentail RE game for any fan of the series! This game is the sequel to the famous Resident Evil 2, it is Claire's story after the inncident in Racoon City. Just like RE4 is Leon's sequel to RE2. After Claire reads Chris'(her brother) diary in RE 2 and escapes from the city, she decides to go to Europe to look for him. But as she infiltrates a Umbrella Facillity she gets caught and sent to an island prison... Only to be let out by the guard! I won't explain any more of the story ... Read More: Rating:  - Resident evil code veronica XThis game is a definate must buy. If you are familiar to the series of resident evil, then this game will familerise yourselves with the characters of Claire and Chris Redfield, featured in Resi 1 and 2. In this game, You get to control both characters and a new character to the series, Steve Burnside. They have improved on this game dramatically compared with the previous in the series, mainly with enhanced grafics (due to it being the first to PS2) there is no longer any of the cheesy voice acting, and still follows the familier plot of the original resi's. The controls are slightly different to that of previous games, but you can adjust them accordingly in the options menu. Even if you are not familier with the previous games, still buy it as ...
