May be the scariest game of all time!

When I played this remake, the graphics and design were beautiful. The opening scene where you see the first zombie eating a corpse is probably the most remembered horror scene in all of the gaming history. Although much credit should be given to the original, once you play this remake, there is no comparison. The game combines cinematic elegance and horror into an eerie classic about our culture's current favorite horror monster -- the zombie.
With the option to choose Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, (I usually pick Jill since she's very sexy but has less life), you can experience Racoon City's famous mansion in the woods, with all the tension, puzzles and eeriness behind this classic horror game. The setting is beautifully constructed and the very original idea of its odd, but mysterious camera angles is quite influential; if this game inspired another successful horror series, (Silent Hill, which pretty much ripped everything off from Resident Evil), then you know this game has greatness to it's name. I may never be able to play a game with the same experience this one gave me through it's beauty, carefully structured horror, and wonderful introduction to a revolutionary series.
Warning to all gamers: If this game is played at night by yourself, be prepared to experience strong feelings of trepidation, panic and fear. This game is scary enough to make you feel reluctant to continue through the next ominous door, or go down the next disheveled, bloodstained hall or worse -- go to the cabin into the woods where a strange creature dwells, (highlight of the game!!); but as reluctant as you are, you cannot give up -- for you are compelled to continue and this game is much too good for you to place your controller down...
None of the Resident Evil games get as scary as this one, (Resident Evil 0, being a close contender). You will not be disappointed!
