Better than the first, but not the best

The REmake is the same story as the first game, just with updated cinemas and character dialogue (yes, the crappy dialogue is gone) and graphics. The game plays exactly the same as you remember, with a few differences (you can now turn around at will, instead of circling around). With the exception of a few new files and a new character (Lisa Trevor), all of the story related elements are the same. There are new gameplay modes, such as the 1 Dangerous Zombie mode, the Real Survival mode, and the Invisible mode, but they are not really spectacular.
The story follows the events of STARS (special tactics and rescue squad) Alpha team investigating the disappearance of Bravo team, leading them to be chased into a whacked out mansion by dogs, causing some of them to disappear. The story was good the first time around, and is still great for a second run through, but there are some annoying things that will have you scratching your head (why do I have to light them on fire? how can zombies work doors?). I wont tell the story's twists, but they do come in loads. Suffice to say, this one is an okay story, and a good remake, but it just comes off leaving older gamers who know the story weak...

RE2 would have made (and still deserves) a better remake.
