Considered a masterpiece by gamers, the remake of the first episode of the Resident Evil series is back in HD. Immerse yourself in horror with this classic which gave its letters of nobility to the genre "survival horror".

In 1998, the Bravo team of the elite S.T.A.R.S. disappears without leaving a trace. The Alpha team is dispatched to the woods on the outskirts of Raccoon City to try to find out what happened. Attacked by a pack of gaunt dogs, Alpha team members Chris and Jill manage to take refuge in a mansion in the middle of the forest. They are far from imagining the horror that awaits them inside ...

For Resident Evil fans, this is the long-awaited moment. Resident Evil Zero, exclusive to Nintendo GameCube, turns the clock back to a time before Raccoon City became the horrific, zombie-packed town that was everyone's nightmare - and reveals the hows and whys of it. at the origin of the series that made you shiver so much. For the first time in the Resident Evil saga, 'Partner Zapping' allows you to control two characters at the same time.

Young S.T.A.R.S. cop Rebecca Chambers - dispatched to investigate serial murders in the Raccoon City area - is stranded after a helicopter crash. Former Navy Commander Billy Coen is an accused on the run, whom Rebecca meets after the truck accident from which he escapes. Partner Zapping works wonderfully: with the push of a button, you can switch between characters - whether they are together in a room or far from each other. The C Stick allows you to maintain control over the passive character, so they will automatically attack any threats present, and you can swap items between Rebecca and Billy (including 'shuffled' items that only Rebecca can combine) if they are close enough to each other. This dual character system makes you even more captive of those typical 'Resident Evil' scares.

Not only will you fret with worry when your small team is split up, but you will shake with dread in certain situations, when your character is not equipped with the right equipment to cope with it, or when the game forces you. to play with Rebecca when having a beefy hero like Billy would be much more comfortable. And there are even more reasons than before to have the hairs standing on their arms. On two discs, Resident Evil Zero locks you in crazy trains infested with moaning undead; sends you to rooms full of possessed crows that flap their wings like madmen; and gives you surprise dates with some of the nastiest and biggest T-Virus monsters the series has offered so far.

The graphics aren't as impressive as they were in Resident Evil earlier this year - they are more. The detail is incredibly good, with the flickering candles, the dancing shadows, the curtains gently stirred by the breeze rushing through broken tiles, and the rain bouncing off objects and backdrop. Each new piece is a feast for the eyes: even if with the use which is made of camera angles to increase the effect of terror (for example, the one which scrutinizes you from outside through a window), it is possible that you do not notice it, so much you will cover your eyes with your hands so as not to see it.

Every nook and cranny of Resident Evil Zero means fear, a breathtaking new visual ordeal, once again superbly used music and soundtrack (or, at times, utter silence) to turn the heat up a bit more. The best Resident Evil yet? Definitely!
