BACKGROUND

Yeah..Resident Evil Survivor. In all the time I have been playing the Resident Evil games, I have never thought "Hey, this third person thing is alright, but I would really like to see this in first person. I don't need scenery. I just want to shoot things mindlessly". Though it is an interesting experiment, much like a certain Gameboy Color game we won't mention, Resident Evil doesn't translate so well to the first person perspective. There is a certain fear to not being able to see all your enemies at once, but the gameplay is also severely damaged in such a case. Besides that, the storyline unapologetically copied that of the Raccoon City incident...poorly. If only they hadn't copied and pasted all the enemies out of Resident Evil 2 and hadn't settled for such poor voice acting, one questions the potential of this (canon) first person train wreck.

Features (needs to be ported to the wiki!) • Shooting game set in the world of Resident Evil Code: Veronica • Play as Claire Redfield or Steve Burnside • Arcade and Dungeon modes • Best played with a light gun

Plotline (needs to be ported to the wiki!)

While Umbrella's mutant T-Virus wreaks havoc in Raccoon City...unknown to the rest of the world, another city faces a similar fate. Fleeing the chaos, a solitary helicopter crash-lands, adding to the confusion. A lone survivor crawls out and desperately tries to escape the burning wreckage. The chopper explodes...the man is knocked unconscious. It is night when he comes to his senses. "How much time has passed?" He hears echoes od crying and moaning all around him. His mind in a haze, he starts to walk. He finds himself in a deserted back street. "Why am I here...? My head aches... I don't want to believe it...but...it seems I have lost my memory. The past is blocked in darkness...when I try to remember it, it slips away like fog." "Is this a battlefield? No...it is just an old town. But something is wrong. I sense something really dangerous in this town. I have to get out of here. I may be meeting someone later on. Is he an enemy...or a friend? Am I doing right or wrong? Am I doing good or bad? Am I really human? I don't know anything... I am only sure of one thing, All I can rely on is this gun. This gun will guide me... It is my only protection...I will survive..."
