[Editor's Note: This review has been updated to correct a factual error regarding the way you unlock the 2nd Game mode, and as a result, the score has been increased from 8.8 to 9.0. We regret the error and really like Resident Evil 2.]

MOD EDIT

deepFlaw said: No, it’s not clear. You don’t understand the mistake that was made. It’s not that he missed this text or that the new option existed.



“The ending and certain parts of the game are different in the 2nd Run scenario.”



He interpreted this as being about Leon’s second run, such that he unlocked a new scenario for Leon and the ending/parts would be changed in comparison to what he just played. Not that it unlocked a new scenario for Claire, that changes in comparison to what he would have played as Claire if he picked the first scenario. So instead of picking the option that he thought was replaying the game as Leon, he played through Claire’s first scenario instead, thinking that would then unlock Claire’s second scenario.



The wording isn’t clear if you approach it with that possibility in mind. Click to expand... Click to shrink...

Hilarious situation has emerged here. The IGN review for RE2 gave the game an 8.8 and included a bizarre section where the reviewer claimed that two scenarios for the game consisted of the same content, puzzles, enemies, and narrative, just with different playable characters. This is of course wildly inaccurate, and betrays the fact that the reviewer clearly didn't play an entire half of the game. They just played the same scenario twice, once with each protagonist. The review was later updated to cross out that section, and then updated again to delete the section altogether, change the score to 9.0, and add this note:Here is a screencap of the original section in question:IGN reviewers keep winning.: Explanation of what HappenedEDIT:From the REview thread, it seems like the reviewer also blocked one of our members for tweeting him about it haha:
