Trivia:

This Resident Evil used all new enemies that were not in any of the previous games. No zombies, no Cerberus, no crows, no giant spiders, no tyrants, no hunters, no lickers made it to this installment.

Goofs:

Continuity: During the scene where an armed helicopter assists Leon in cleaning out the bad guys, the helicopter pushing over the fuel tank doesn't make a sound until it is revealed by the camera. The Ganados are alarmed only by the creaking sounds of the tank. The helicopter makes so much noise that they should have heard it coming long before it arrived at the tank.

Quotes:

Jack Krauser: All for Umbrella's sake...
Leon S. Kennedy: Umbrella?
Jack Krauser: Almost let it slip... Die, comrade!

We have the 2005 game of the year right here.

I got this game yesterday, and already it is kicking a lot of ass. The action is already intense, and I know I'm am NO WHERE near the halfway point of the game.

Pros: Just about everything! Graphics, action, and enemy AI have never been better in the resident evil titles. Very few games out there can match the AI and action. The game even has a decent sense of humor, and the game challenges you from the start.

Cons: Saving is still not that easy. Though those annoying, horrendous ink ribbons are finally gone, you still need to find a typewriter to save the game. However, there are several located throughout the game. Like I said, the game challenges you... A LOT. This is one of the hardest games I have, and I own more than my fair share.

Overall, this game is easily the 2005 game of the year. If you have a gamecube and not this game, why? What are you waiting for? If you have a PS2, go out and get this NOW. I said the game was hard, but I, like many others, love a challenge. Though it may seem hasty to submit a comment the day after I get this game and haven't beaten it, this should give you the idea of how great it is.

10/10. Brilliant.
