I've seen a lot of comparisons to Resident Evil 4 and 5 in these reviews, and how the camera and item management and combat is superior in those games, but that is because they are not Resident Evil.

Anyone who has played Resident Evil on the Playstation will know the story, the basic mechanics and the general roll of things as they play the remake, but with the addition of the 180 turn to ease up control, as well as the many other additions to the game, this is a whole new (still terribly frightening) beast.

Graphics: Far improved, as previously stated. The fact that most camera angles hold true to the original being added on to the increased graphical reality and improved sounds make everything so much more effective in the scare department. Especially the hallway. If you've played it before, you know what I mean, and if you haven't, you will once you start.

Storyline: Nothing really new here, except for a few additions that will catch you off-guard. For new players though, it's Resident Evil- Plot isn't its usual strong point but it works very well with what little it was really given to work with originally.

Controls: Yes, tank controls, but they work for this setting. Slow, shambling zombies are only threatening if you can't quick-draw and headshot them at a moment's notice, which is why it's so different from RE4 and 5. Every single enemy poses a viable threat. The Ganados and Majini in the other games are simply cannon fodder. In this, a single shambler is supposed to be a threat, and the controls add to that. It may be a mistake to some, but overall it's an addition that if removed, removes part of the survival-horror aspect.

Ending notes: Resident Evil the remake is worth the money you spend on it. The plot, the control, the graphics, and the pure blood-pumping terror you feel when you are being approached by three zombies and then realize you can't open the door as they close in can't be matched by Resident Evil 4 or 5. This IS Resident Evil.
