Product Description
-------------------
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X begins as Claire Redfield leaves
Raccoon City for Europe, headquarters of the Umbrella
Corporation, in search of her brother Chris and to solve the
mystery surrounding Umbrella Corporation's secretive activities.
In her search she is captured and sent to an isolated prison on a
desolate Island. While it remains unexplained how Chris, one of
the original S.T.A.R.S. team members, appears in Resident Evil
Code: Veronica X, players will be reacquainted with his iron will
and munitions expertise to seek the truth behind the dreaded
Umbrella biotoxins.
In Resident Evil Code: Veronica X players control Claire at the
beginning of the game and later assume the role of Chris Redfield
in their efforts to stop Umbrella's devious plans. One of the
many features that make Code Veronica different from previous
Resident Evil games is the Real World System (RWS). Now when
Claire opens doors, solves puzzles, stores items or ammunition,
they remain in the same spot when playing the second half of the
game as Chris.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X contains never-before-seen footage
that focuses on battles between Chris and the enigmatic
character, Wesker, and sheds new in into the ominous
Resident Evil story line. -eating zombies, horrific beasts
and even stranger mutations have spread on a global scale! Just
how far does this twisted conspiracy extend? What is Umbrella
Corporation really up to? And who is behind this bio-tech terror?
To her horror, Claire discovers Umbrella Corporation's insidious
activities are not isolated to the remote, mid-western city. No.
Something much larger is going on here.
.co.uk Review
-------------
It's rather ironic that Resident Evil Code: Veronica X has
rejuvenated the PS2's fortunes in Japan, because it's essentially
identical to the original, year-old version on the Dreamcast.
Code: Veronica is, however, a superb game that deserves as large
an audience as possible, lest its heady mix of action, puzzles
and lots and lots of zombies goes unappreciated by the masses.
Unlike previous games in the series Code: Veronica is portrayed
entirely in 3-D--although the atmospheric camera maintains an
essentially static viewpoint for most of the time. The amazing
graphics are obviously the main draw but you'll also find that
some of the more irritating foibles of the series have been
ironed out--such as the city of ammo and camera angles that
make combat unfairly difficult.
The "X" at the end of the game's name indicates that this is a
special edition, but the new stuff is limited to a couple of
extra camera angles and some new cut scenes with uber-baddy
Wesker. In terms of extras the most interesting aspect of the
package is actually a demo of the forthcoming Devil May Cry (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005N54F/${0} ). But unless you've already
got the Dreamcast version, buy this for the game and treat the
other stuff as a bonus because survival horror doesn't get any
better than this. -- David Jenkins
