What players say
still it will be my always and forever. plot 10\10 gameplay and atmosphere 100\10 the only con I can tell about this game is WTH is wrong with this idiot President's daughter that can not even jump or use ladder to get her lazy ass down!!! she deserved to left alone in there. btw, I never get enough with this masterpiece.

so peak This game has a unique style, unlike any other. I love it, especially the character building and the truly fantastic story Thanks to Capcom
in another effort to review every video game that has helped distract me from the crushing weight of my own mortality and the unavoidable horrors of the human condition: i'd give this game a 7/10 with the footnote: remaster this, remaster that. why don't you remaster yourself some hoes
