Amazon.co.uk Review
Even when you're dead you have no chance to Rest In Peace when you are a resident of Racoon City, the mid-west American town that has been affected by the deadly T-Virus leaving few survivors.

You are a young pilot who has managed to crawl from the cockpit of his helicopter, but lost his memory in the crash. Armed with only a gun you have to battle your way through various un-dead to discover your memory and the shocking truth behind Racoon City.

Ever since the first Resident Evil on the Playstation this series of adventure-game-cum-classic-horror has been as enjoyable to play as it has been entertaining to watch. Now Eidos release Resident Evil: Survivor, which breaks from the familiar third-person gameplay and engulfs the player in a Quake-style first-person perspective, an experience that echoes elements of The House of The Dead 2.

The change in gameplay for Survival makes for a pleasant and refreshing approach to a series that had started to tire. The first three all had similar approaches, but Survivor, though retaining the story and horror, poses a new challenge. Played with ease through the standard control pads, the game can also be played with the G-Con 45 light gun to add extra elements of fun. --Robert Hyde

Resident evil Survivor
This Game is only for Resident evil fans, simple as that if you don't like resident evil you won't like this full stop. If you do like resident evil you'll probably want this this for your collection, it is a short resident evil scenario in 3D (Finished in 1 hour) but there are loads of different ways to finish this that you'll see somthing new everytime you play it. bad graphics and sound in parts may dissapoint you but don't play it with high hopes and it's a not bad but not good game.

>Altogether a must for a Resident evil fan. An entertaining sub game with good and bad parts in a different way of looking at resident evil.

Not even close to matching the originals.
Resident Evil survivor certainly has it's share of enjoyable elements. The first person perspective has given new life to an otherwise exhausted series, and with the lightgun it's twice as fun and twice as challenging. As graphics go RE:Survivor isn't outstanding but at least passable, difficulty and longetivity also leave no cause for complaint. So why the 3 stars you ask? Becuase the single most important thing that has been the backbone of the whole RE series is the amazing storylines, and RE: Survivor has the most dreadful storyline I have ever seen. It's so poorly thought out it's actually insulting. To make matters worse the voice actors are completely unconvincing and I wouldn't be surprised if they were random people taken off of the street. Why the makers of such an excellent series would disappoint the fans so readily with this poor excuse for a plot is beyond me. Fire the writers guys!!!

Good, but could be longer...
A good game with the introduction of the 1st person view, but it could of been a longer game as it was quite easy to complete, even without all the special weapons. RE fans will like this.
