It's easy to forgive the developers for recycling the haunted house setting and rehashing those classic horror clichés, but a bit of originality elsewhere wouldn't have gone amiss. BUT IT'S RUINED BY CRAP BOSSES AND A SILLY SCRIPT Thanks in no small part to the wonderfully detailed visuals - which were good back in 2002 and look even better with a HD lick of paint - Resident Evil Zero manages to get under your skin.įlashes of lightning, monsters breaking through windows and zombies bursting out of closets will make you jump - while old grandfather clocks, creepy portraits and rotting food all manage to unsettle. And let's face it, nobody wants to come face to face with a spider that's the size of a four-door hatchback. It's incredibly derivative, sure, but then why mess with a winning formula?
