Review title of Skirnir226 Back From The Dead .. In All The Best Ways

As someone who grew up in the nineties, I can count myself fortunate as being able to have played both the Original Playstation 1 version (as well as the N64 AND GameCube versions) before playing the Remake. I was 9 when RE2 came out and it was the first game I got to play on my Brand-Spankin' new PS1, and it scared the ever-living S%@& out of me. I am happy to say that the remake more than lives up to its predecesor's standard. With one of THE BEST lighting systems i've seen in any game to-date, and destructible character models .. RE2 has more than proved itself to be visceral and atmospheric. Taking liberties only when needed to provide a fresh experience for both veterans and newbies alike, an AI Director that provides tough-but-fair gameplay .. the only thing that mechanically sets it apart from the original, in terms of "feel", is the control scheme. Two Decades later, Capcom finally got it together. 10/10 - "4 Itchy Tasty"
