This game is amazing! And a really good follow-up to the first one, but the first one is still better...
You could now meet more zombies at the same time, in the first game it was maximum 3 zombies. But now in RE2 it became more action, 5-6 zombies could attack you now. The game is bigger than the first one too. Like the first game you can choose from the start wich character you want to play with, 2 different characters. In this game it's Claire Redfield (sister to Chris Redfield from the first one) and Leon S Kennedy, he's a new cop (his first day as a cop). You are in Raccoon City, and you discover very fast in the start that something is very wrong, almost everyone of the peoples in the city has become zombies.
Almost the same story here as the first game, but the difference here is that insted "just" a big mansion full with peoples who has become zombies, it has now been the whole Raccoon City... That's the Umbrella Coperation how are behind all this mess, exactly like the first game. But now they have maked a new type of virus, in the first game it's called "G-Virus" and now Umbrella have maked the "T-Virus", a worse version of the "G-Virus".
So the story is same, same but different...
This game is really great, and it has almost everything that the first game has, plus more things ofcourse like some more weapons, new enemies and little better graphic. (Not much, but a little). But apart from these things, it's not better than the first game.
The first game has a better story, and was more frightening, and had a little better background music. RE2 feels a little more like a thriller/action/adventure then horror/action/adventure like the first one is.
It's one thing I was a little disappointed about I can remember - It was that I thought you would play outside on the streets/city 90% of the game, but it was the opposite: More 90% playing inside - in the police station etc. But if we take away just that, it couldn't be much of a better follow-up game to the first one, how is simply perfect...
