I absolutely LOVED The first 5 games! 1-4 plus Code Veronica which came out between 3 and 4. To me this Movie was a combination of RE2 and RE3 but not the original game.
This Movie brought me right back to 1998 playing RE2 on my PS1 The Diner, the tractor trailer, The Doberman Pincher, the dead crows! William the scientist! All the original characters are there. They even introduced Ada Wong from Code Veronica at the end!
Now I HAVE to dust off my Nintendo Wii and play RE2 and RE3 and probably Code Veronica again because this movie makes me feel like a kid again. I feel like I've been waiting for this exact movie to come out for 5 years now! These games were NOT easy either! They weren't 8 bit NES difficult but I'm sure tons of kids used a Game Shark for sure! The Gamecube had the best versions of the first 3 games plus Code Veronica and the original Wii plays them. I'm not even sure if the PS2 Slim can play the original PS1 games? The BEST Version of RE4 is definitely the Nintendo Wii!! Using the Wiimote head shots were a piece of cake! 1 shot kills all day! Save that ammo! I kept my Wii just to play these Resident Evil games again someday and that day is here!!
