And all of it still cloaked the sounds of horror - creaking, slow opening doors, lots of empty halls and rooms, wind through the doors, creepy music and far off groans. The anticipation of big monsters coming and not having enough ammo the desperate search for herb the desperate search for more ammo finding another clue and wanting to get the next one without realizing that two hours have passed. Even though I knew it was there and didn't want to buy into it, it still worked. Survivor, despite its cheap seduction as a Resident Evil game, isn't all cheap eats. So yeah, I played all the way through the game and honestly, I have to admit, I was compelled to do so. Some folks have complained about, but to me it was no big loss. The game functions entirely fine without a light-gun and the control scheme is simple enough, and the response time was good enough, so that the standard controller works perfectly without it. Personally, the absence of the gun didn't affect me at all. The reasons don't make too much sense if you're a foreigner, but if you live in the US and you watch the news, you know why Capcom didn't include a light gun.

On that note, Capcom decided not to include the light-gun for the American release of Resident Evil Survivor (It was compatible and recommended for the Japanese market). It's a weird hybrid light-gun/spook game with Resident Evil tension and fear, but without the light-gun. In fact, you could say that Survivor is the "idiots" version of the series. Instead of gorgeous prerendered backgrounds and amazing creature models and kooky but sometimes awesome puzzles, players get the dummy version. What happens with Resident Evil Survivor is that none of the great production values of the first three went into this version. Cheesy as it was, I wanted to know what happens in the end. I did eventually find out who "Vincent" was, and what happens, and the game actually creates an atmosphere and a need to find out what happened in the end. This one involves cutting open victims' brains while they are alive to get a certain seratonin or something with lots of syllables. Survivor takes place just after Resident Evil 3 (so Raccoon City is kaplooey), and it tells a whole new tale of how Umbrella continues to test its biohazard-style genetic experiments on the people from another small, no-name town. The story isn't half-bad, but don't make a mistake about it - this is not the stuff that the other games are made of. From that point, during the rest of the game you get to piece together the Current Event puzzle to get to the bottom of things.

The premise is shown to you in the opening movie - you've temporarily lost your memory, you have just crashed your helicopter in a strange place, and all you have is a single gun. Gameplay Survivor is a first-person perspective shooting game that takes players into a world not unlike Raccoon City, but a world altogether different. Resident Evil Survivor really is the remains of the series, just not the good parts. Once it finished cutting off the "fresh" Resident Evil "meat," it took the rest of the game, the waste, tendon, bone, cartilage, and whatever else (sphincter, spleen, eyeball, etc.) and fashioned a hot dog out of it. It's sort of like Capcom transformed into a meat processing company. Up until Resident Evil Survivor, that is.

Well, Capcom has done a fantastic job up until now keeping the Resident Evil series clean and good.

Whenever a great company such as Capcom creates a massive hit, be it Street Fighter, Mega Man, or let's say, Resident Evil, it's bound to make a mistake or take a wrong road once in a while.
