I've been trying to figure this damn thing out forever.  I can't get past the first part to get the briefcase that falls from the burning truck.  Well, I did it exactly once, but didn't get the briefcase, just *walked* to the nearest door.

1) Claire is getting attacked.  Slash with the knife?  Sure!  But not when she's actually BEING attacked, no, that would make sense.  She's rather be gangbanged by multiple zombies.

2) Why can't this chick run?  THERE"S A FREAKING ZOMBIE!  I SHOULD RUN FROM IT!  OH WAIT, THERE'S NO CONTROL TO RUN!!!!!

3) Directional controls?  What directional controls?  I press forwards, she move forwards. I press backwards, she moves backwards.  Left/Right turns her, respectively.    Why can't moving be like any other third person perspective game?

Edit: found a way to run, but damn that's tricky.

im guessing youve never played any of the resident evil games? Id say the original was the best, you should try it. I wasnt really a fan of veronica myself

I played it through a few years back and thought it was pretty enjoyable. The storyline gets really bizarre (the kind of bizarre that probably makes sense to a small handful of people in Japan that spend most of their weekends slaughtering chickens while planning for the one day that they'll eventually come out as cross-dressers at work; those bstards in the mail room won't be laughing then, no siree).
Eh, kinda went off-track a bit there. In summary, I thought it was very good if the poor Shenmue style dialogue doesn't get on your nerves.

I also played through it a few years ago.  I don't think I made it to the end.  The game became way to crazy frustrating and hard.

I was thinking of buying one of the Resident Evil series for my Dreamcast.

I'd always assumed that Code: Veronika was the one to get but now someone is saying the original is best. Has anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I finished Code Veronica or not. I think I liked the one before it better. Can't remember now if that was RE2 or RE3.

C'mon people it wasnt too bad there are much harder games out there(give mgs3 a try..hehe).However,I didnt enjoy CV that much..the storyline was weak with slow paced gameplay.I recomend trying resident evil 2 FIRST then 3 nemesis and the original.

well if you have a gamecube, definitely play the remake of res. evil 1 and also play res. evil zero.  both are graphically up to par.  controls are still res. evil controls, but the gameplay and graphics are better.

Or better yet, play a good game.  The Silent Hill series.

resident evil 2
resident evil 3
resident evil 1

thats the order of how good they are 2 was perfection
the rest of the re series blows

silent hill is good atmosphere, but very boring repetitive style

brw, they have to keep those controls.

The scenes change pretty often... and if the controls where directional (moving left when your character is looking left moves you forward)... then when the scene changed, you would be walking in the wrong direction until you realized.

I hate the controls.. I went through the first two... I loved RE1, RE2 was ok.. but I got bored before I got to the end.

but standard controls for a ton of games... a ton of games I try to stay away from.

this is one horse that has been beaten , given T-Virus,brought back from the dead, and then beaten back to death again..
This is one title that should have been retired YEARS ago..

Enjoying the fruits of technological obsolescence one game at a time...

Resident evil one and two for the original playstation are very fun. Very hard though. Whoever said they wereh aving a hard time in the game should look up a walkthrough online, they tell u every step on where to go. You mayt hink thats cheating but if you are very stuck u could use one.
Coming soon: 4 player mame cab and Scratch built Moonwalker....Hall of Fame, here I come!

Yeah, I've had to do that in a couple parts.  Most notably once you get the gold key and you have to hit the buttons under the portraits in a certain order.

Just ordered a Dreamcast and Veronica is one of the games coming with it.  Really dug RE2 for my Playstation.  I'm assuming control and such is very similar to the previous titles in the series?
