Resident Evil Survivor

PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation • 2000

Should you play it?

Resident Evil Survivor is the first Resident Evil title to be rendered in real time as opposed to making use of pre-rendered backdrops. Levels are explored in first person, and when enemies are encountered the press of a button will bring up a targeting reticle for shooting. As with most light-gun games there is infinite pistol ammunition available, but limited ammunition for more powerful weapons. At the end of each level two doors are presented which both lead to different levels, although all paths eventually lead to the same ending.

What works

  • First-person perspective in resident evil universe
  • Branching paths add some replayability
  • Familiar enemies and atmosphere
  • Short game length suitable for brief sessions
  • Unique hybrid of shooter and light gun mechanics

Things to keep in mind

  • Clunky tank controls and limited camera movement
  • Poor hit detection and enemy animations
  • No save points and punishing checkpoint system
  • Short length with low replay value
  • Lack of multiplayer or cooperative modes
