I've been playing this on and off for a long time over the nearly past 20 years and I get chills when booting it up again after a long absence. A must-play classic for anyone that enjoys zombie apocalypse games! Skip the remake if you despise censorship.

The most annoying 8/10 ever. Possibly Capcom's most interesting game. Tragically still the best in the series. It's a smorgasbord of random ideas that still feels unique and relatively cohesive. A big map asking you to explore, but also story missions with time limits. Tons of weapons and buff items to screw with, but also an expanding core melee moveset. Photography, which adds a secondary objective of wildly variable difficulty to nearly every task, and adds a totally new verb to the action game formula. Strategize, maneuver, attack, take item, use item, command cronies, take photo. Game just cheeses you off, though. Lotta little microaggressions that kill your flow and get under your skin, and I don't mean the obvious stuff, like infirmed survivor AI or unintuitive skill move execution. Your momentum's excruciating death when landing from a running jump/fall, awful hitboxes on potentially cool weapons (the lightsaber bro), overlong worthless eye-rolling QTE escapes from zombie grabs, weirdly implemented enemy respawns, psychopaths cheating like SNK bosses, contextual prompts overlapping with one another at the worst possible times, the truly heretical dodge input... you know what I mean if you've played it. I like the big chunky UI in theory, but the map is bad, the arrow is often dumb, and the inventory is a LINE for God's sake. Though (some of) the original's annoyances were later addressed, the unique fascinations of it's formula were never meaningfully refined or expanded. Even worse, they were all gutted, one by one; the photography, then the intricate and reasonably sized map, then the time limit. All to make room for roflcopter combo weapons and other gimmicks. And writing about as entertaining as Borderlands. One of the industry's finest examples of corporate overlords/market pressure sanding a cool game down into dust. Imagine if Dead Rising 4 was as meaningful an evolution of this core system as Devil May Cry 4 was to DMC1. Whoops this became a franchise review

Let me just start by saying you are supposed to die in this game. I spent forever getting killed by Carlito and reloading my save and failing. Unless you really think you have a good shot, you're supposed to "save and quit" when you die. It saves all your experience and allows you to restart the game from the beginning. You have 72 in-game hours (6 real life hours max) to save everyone you can and get the big scoop! It's almost like playing a movie you get better at being a character in. The story is the game, and events happen on a strict schedule once the timer starts. Learn the layout of the mall, explore, die, keep exploring, find secrets, characters, die again, It doesn't matter because you come back stronger and smarter each time. It's got all the hallmarks of a roguelike, AND a photography sim! Taking the right photos at the right moments can give you a huge boost in experience.

If you're confused about this or the remake, THIS is the one you want. Legitimately one of the greatest games of all time, on my personal Mount Rushmore of Greatest Games Ever Made.
