Be prepared to relive the first nightmare in Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original Resident Evil game. This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. It’s the best way to experience the story of what really happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire Resident Evil saga.The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.

RE0 does everything RE1 does, but makes it harder and slightly more bullshit. I think this game's biggest problem is the partner system is very dated. I do appreciate the effort to add a new mechanic to the formula, but micromanaging your partner while trying to save ammo and not die is tedious at best. What makes it worse is the whole game's enemies are balanced around having a partner, so you can't just leave the dude somewhere. Do yourself a favor and play it on easy. You'll have a much better experience. Additionally, instead of a item box, you can just leave stuff on the floor. This is neat for some things, like moving puzzle items closer to where they are needed, however in practice, it just means you need to backtrack to rooms to grab items, which is also tedious. After doing a little research, this game was not made by the main RE dev team, which might explain some things. This game certainly has it's charms, but I think it doesn't quite nail the same feeling as RE1 while providing a more annoying experience.
