This has always been the case, and it would have been nice if a solution to that annoyance had been included in the list of refinements. As a whole, the core gameplay model is little changed. The unusual control scheme, love it or hate it, is back, more fluid and manageable than ever. Also returning is the focus on avoiding flesh-eating undead while unravelling one puzzle after the other. Fans who've enjoyed the previous titles in the series will find a lot to like in Code Veronica, but if you've never been a big follower, there's nothing here to persuade you otherwise.
Code Veronica is essentially a proven formula refined to near-perfection.
On a next-generation console like the Dreamcast it would be nice to see the series make further advancements. However, if you don't mind a more polished version of the same game you've played before, Code Veronica sports plenty of clever twists of its own, and will keep you on entertained for quite some time.
