Resident Evil 1 for the GCN was way improved and scarier then the origanal Resident Evil on the PS1. Then soon after that, Resident Evil Zero came out with intense graphics and not so scary places. Resident Evil 2 came out with high expectations, but failed. The old school graphics [stink] out the new feel of Resident Evil 2. It has been improved a little, but not enough to make a difference. The lack in graphics make the game less scary, making the point dull. Buy it if you don't have a PS1 or PS2. You won't find a big difference. Still, Resident Evil Series looks like it is going down hill, so be hopeful it doesn't stop! Scare you later!
