What our customer's say!

"Resident Evil", The game i recieved was resident evil (not the directors cut, which i ordered) being that im not a picky person especially since im overseas and it takes awhile to get mail, i was able to look past it, the sound quality isnt average, it skips and cuts out voice conversations in cut scenes but still the game is fun.

"A timeless classic", The original Resident Evil is the purest example of a survival horror video game. The newer RE iterations, while fun in their own right, are not survival, and some would say not even horror video games.

Resident Evil throws the player into an old, dilapidated mansion with the vaguest notion of zombies on the prowl. The original party is split up to investigate the area, and the player is left to find clues towards a path to safety.

Unlike many games supposedly within the Survival Horror genre, Resident Evil hits the nail on the head with the notions of staying safe. Enemies are best avoided, as direct combat can result in being quickly overcome with zombies or being poisoned.

Items are hidden throughout the mansion that detail just how the monstrous zombie outbreak started, and to a lesser extent details the lives of the individuals who lived there during the initial stages of the outbreak. There are pictures of their families and friends, their clothes tucked into their closets, and, on occasion, the zombified individual himself, trapped and desolate in a bathtub or a wing of his home.

Playing the game, one truly gets a sense of being stranded. In essence, it puts the player in the perspective of every human being there during the outbreak. You never know who or what has been turned, nor where those beings now dwell. Caution is the only priority, and this game capitalizes on that.

Weapons are not found sitting out for any person to find. The player must actively search for items to aid in his or her quest. Guns are definitely there, but they would be about as well-hidden as a person living inside the mansion would have them. The control scheme may seem archaic now, but for the genre, the controls are spot on. Maneuvering through a hallway full of zombies should not be an easy task, and given the options presented, it really isn't.

Puzzles are a central (albeit quizzical) part of Resident Evil's gameplay. In keeping with the survival elements, some doors are locked; to pass through them, the player must find the key. This involves searching room-to-room around the mansion, and solving the occasional puzzle. These elements are definitely well-aligned with the gameplay, but from a strictly survival perspective, some puzzles fit the scheme better than others.

The plot is weaved strongly through the course of the game. Many of your allies are found dead throughout the mission, consumed by the horrors of the mansion. Others are as desperate as ever to get out, while some are a bit too satisfied hanging around. The plot is advanced mostly through cut-scenes where characters interact with each other. The voices, as all know, are pretty hilarious (or bad, depending on your perspective). For the time, characters using voice-overs as opposed to text was revolutionary. Unfortunately, the voice acting didn't stand the test of time, and some of the more hilarious quips are almost inside-jokes among video game fans.

The graphics were definitely of the era. In 1996, this game's graphics would astound any who saw it. Twelve years later, they are clearly dated. Many games of this era can't stand the test of time (strangely, games of the 16-bit era age more much gracefully, and even modern games have become throwbacks to the visuals of that time period), but Resident Evil fares better than many Playstation titles. Many of the pre-rendered backgrounds are highly detailed and set the mood wonderfully. Given the polygon count of the day, its pretty easy to tell where your character stands against the backdrop, and conversely, where the enemy stands. Thankfully, the color schemes applied to enemy and ally serve to blend objects and backgrounds together seamlessly.

The sound is more forgettable than anything in this game. The soundtrack does serve its duty well in creating and maintaining a frightening atmosphere, but there's just not anything noteworthy enough to stick out after over a decade. The sound effects, while not fantastic, serve their purposes extremely well. Given the player's mood, one would still be prone to jump when a noise is heard off-screen.

With a game as old as this one is, it would be easy to find faults -- especially comparing those faults with current-gen gameplay mechanics and graphics. However, if one can allow themselves to enter the early PSX era, the true beauty of a game like Resident Evil can shine through. While not perfect, this game serves as the ultimate example of what survival horror is. RE set the stage for things to come, and its great to be able to go back and see the humble beginnings of some of the greatest plot elements and gameplay mechanics we enjoy in video games today.

"Resident Evil collectors", I am an avid gamer and one of the titles I am into is Resident Evil. I couldn't find the original PlayStation Resident Evil Games any where so I went online and there they where. I bought the first Resident Evil because I would like to play theme in order. Any one who is a Resident Evil fan should buy this game.

"old But, exellent game", This is Great version of resident evil one. you can choose regular mode, which is just like first version, or you can pick arrange mode that makes the game more challaging. It also comes with vibrate function.

"Resident Evil: Director's Cut Review", I've been a Resident Evil fan ever since '96 when the 1st RE Original came out. I purchased the original back-in-the-day because I liked zombie flicks & it turned out to be awsome. I had no idea it would become so popular that a movie would be made. But, my old original game disc is scratched. Trying to find the orignal game is like trying to find a needle-in-a-haystack, until I decided to check Amazon. I'd heard of this site but never tried it. Even though this game isn't the original disc game, it is the 2nd best, the director's cut. It came in fantastic condition & time. Which is why I will restate myself, "Buy from Gamequest: Direct!" The game is perfect, that is my review.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The Truth about Resident Evil...", Today I posted a review for Silent Hill for the Sony Playstation in the interest of fairness I figured I'd post a review about Resident Evil. Like Silent Hill I played and beat the game within a week of it's initial launch. I didn't have alot of gripes about the game being as I was blown away by the very idea of a survival horror game. Let alone playing such a game for the first time in my long gaming history.

The music and graphics for this game are by no means good to todays standards. Back in the day as with Silent Hill they were top notch or very near it. As far as puzzles go, Resident Evil had both passable and challenging puzzles... nothing that took away from your gameplay or experience which was a nice touch.

As far as gameplay this Resident Evil game, Director's Cut, was my favorite up until Resident Evil 2 and more recent Resident Evil 4. As I said with Silent Hill neither game is better than the other but I would strongly recommend skipping this game for this system and get the Resident Evil Remake for Gamecube.

The remake enhanced not just the graphics but the over all story and appeal of Resident Evil, the original classic survival horror game. In closing I have to say that I graded this a 3 as I did with Silent Hill, they are two different kinds of scares and two different worlds but the graphics and dated sound leave me empty. All-in-all a must buy for any Resident Evil fanboy or person looking for a quick cheap thrill.

"ahh the one that started it all", the one that started it all i have it and you should to i will in detail say the pros and cons of the game.
the pros are great story, great puzzles, the suspense is great as well as the monsters that are in it over all it draws you in the world of the resident evil.
the cons to much back and forth in the game, bazooka wont blow open doors, the other issue is if played on the ps2 you have to get used to the original controls again im used to ps2 games now guess im spoiled lol where you use the analog sticks to move and look around.
over all great game turn out the lights put it in and put yourself in the game and have fun.


"Now that I look back on it...", ...I realize that the remake is a true masterpiece. This is where all the RE games began, but it's not the same anymore, now that I've gotten the remake and I absolutely LOVE it. They added all sorts of things to the remake that were never in this one, like Lisa Trevor, the graveyard, George Trevor, and all kinds of extra areas and COMPLETELY redesigned areas from this version. Unfortunately they made this game look like some old cheesy horror film at the beginning with the live-action cinematic and the pathetic voice acting, and that kind of makes it seem less interesting, but the remake fixed every problem this game had. It truly scared the hell outta me the first time I saw Forest Speyer stand up as a zombie on the balcony, and I literally froze in terror because of it. Unlike in the remake, Forest moves just like a regular zombie in this game. I seemed sort of weird how you only find two types of zombies in the whole game (Green jacket and grey skin, and white jacket and deep blue skin), and you don't find either two types in the same room together. That changed in the other games, though. There's also naked cadavre zombies in the underground lab, but only in one room. I've never beaten this game, although I don't see how I possibly could, since I end up with no ammo whatsoever by the time I encounter Tyrant, and the hunter's are way too hard to even attempt to get past them to find items. One good thing about this game is that there's no crimson heads, but it's still equally hard even so. As far as realism, this game is very lacking, compared to RE2 and RE3, not to mention the RE1 remake. This game still brings back memories, though, since I've had it for, like, eight years. It actually used to scare me, especially when I saw the face of one of the zombies. The blank, lifeless expression, and torn-up face just gave me nightmares. This game is still a great effort, though. I just think the remake truly showcases the vision of the guy who came up with the idea for Resident Evil.

"The Original Resident Evil", The Original Resident Evil brings back memories, which is why I bought it. It was more fun in those days though I guess. I forgot what the graphics were like; They were a little choppy. The video is downright cheesy, which is great. I get ideas for roleplaying from this game. All-around I'd say it was a good buy, and a good collectors item.

"a great uncut version that is a little better", my uncle gave this to me for christmas. i didnt know what it was until i got a gamecube and bought resident evil 4. then i knew what this game was. i wasnt crazy about it when i first got it. then i got resident evil 2 and tried the uncut version.
it was ok. i started playing it now and then. a month later, i found the orginal resident evil and i compared them. And the uncut was a little better because you can use the analog sticks,
and instead of gettin only 2 ink ribbons, you get 4 every time u pick them up. the bad part is that the graphics haven't improved. it is also very scary. like the big snake boss which scared the hell out of me. Still i think you should own both of these but if you want only one of these, go with the uncut one.
