Don't let the idea of this being a port fool you, it's considerable on of the best RE games you can play.
Cons: controls, some what dated graphics
Storywise, the game greatly expands on a branch of the Umbrella Corporation not seen until Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X, and gives great insight to the Ashford influence into the mighty company. We also see the Redfield siblings unite and face off against various members of the Ashford family bringing them one step closer to destroying Umbrella. Yet another virus is introduced into the series: the T-Veronica Virus named for the matriarch of the Ashford family, Veronica Ashford, and developed by Alexia Ashford.
Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X can be closely related to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis when it comes to overall graphics. The game does not fully utilize the capabilities of the PS2 as it is basically just a port from the Sega Dreamcast. The game does have stellar FMV’s for its time. The environments of the game are not as impressive as some of its pre-rendered predecessors, but still provide the typical Resident Evil “feel”. The character movements are a bit stiff and rigid making the movements appear awkward.
The voice acting for Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X is very impressive, and a few familiar voices like Richard Waugh and Alyson Court make a return. Peter Oldring gives the perfect psychotic nature to the mentally disturbed Alfred Ashford. The score for Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X is almost perfect. The music always matches whatever event is happening in the game; the music can easily make one’s adrenaline begin to pump ferociously and draw in attention. The game has a good number of differing sound affects depending upon the location, especially the soothing atmpsphere of a save room for example.
Conclusion: Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X is definitely one of the needed additions to any Resident Evil gamer’s collection as it has such an excellent plot and reveals so many interesting facts behind the Umbrella Corporation. The game is nothing compared to the graphics of the Remake and Resident Evil Zero, but again, easily makes up for that in its plot. It can easily be considered the most adventurous and action-filled of the series. The only real drawback is the infamous RE "tank controls" the characters have, which takes getting a little use to, but might put off the casual player.
