Bio Hazard

Plot synopsis:
Underneath Raccoon City exists a genetic research facility called the Hive, owned by the Umbrella Corporation. A thief steals the genetically engineered T-virus and contaminates the Hive with it. In response, the facility's artificial intelligence, the Red Queen, seals the Hive and kills everyone inside.
Alice awakens naked in the bathroom of a deserted mansion with amnesia. She dresses, checks the mansion, and is subdued by an unknown person. A group of Sanitation Team commandos led by James Shade breaks into the mansion and arrests Matt Addison, who just transferred as a cop in Raccoon P.D. The group travels to the underground train under the mansion that leads to the Hive, where they find Spence. The commandos explain that everyone in the group except Matt is an employee of the Umbrella Corporation, and Alice and her partner Spence are security guards for a Hive entrance under the disguise of a couple living in the mansion. Five hours prior, the Red Queen had shut down the entire facility and released a gas which killed everyone inside, flooded the labs, and destroyed the elevators, also causing Spence and Alice's amnesia.
At the Queen's chamber, a laser defense system kills Shade and three more commandos. Despite the Red Queen's urgent pleas for the group to leave, Kaplan disables the Red Queen systems, and the power fails, opening all of the doors in the Hive. This releases the zombified staff and containment units containing Lickers. When everyone regroups, they are ambushed by a horde of zombies and a gunfight ensues. J.D. perishes as the group becomes overwhelmed. A bitten Rain retreats with Kaplan and Spence; Matt becomes separated from Alice, who starts regaining her memories.
Matt looks for information about his sister Lisa and finds her zombified. Alice saves him, and Matt explains he and Lisa were environmental activists, and Lisa infiltrated Umbrella to smuggle out the evidence of illegal experiments. Alice remembers she was Lisa's contact in the Hive but does not tell Matt. The survivors reunite at the Queen's chamber, and the commandos explain they have one hour before the Hive traps them inside automatically. Alice and Kaplan activate the Red Queen to find an exit. To force her cooperation, they rig a remote shutdown. As they escape through maintenance tunnels, zombies ambush them, and a reanimated J.D. bites Rain before getting killed. The group reaches safety, but Kaplan is bitten and separated.
Alice remembers that an anti-virus is in the lab, but they find it missing. Spence remembers he stole and released the virus. He hid the T-virus and anti-virus on the train. Spence is bitten by a zombie, which he kills before trapping the survivors in the lab. He retrieves the anti-virus, but is ambushed and killed by a Licker. The Red Queen offers to spare Alice and Matt if they kill Rain, whose health is fading and who has been infected too long for the anti-virus to work reliably. As the Licker attempts to reach them, a power outage occurs. The lab door opens to reveal Kaplan forced the Red Queen to open the door. The group heads to the train, where Alice retrieves the T-virus and kills a reanimated Spence before escaping with the others.
On the train, they inject Rain and Kaplan with the anti-virus. However, the Licker is hiding on the train and attacks them, clawing Matt and killing Kaplan. In the ensuing battle, Alice subdues the Licker before Matt is attacked by a now-zombified Rain. He shoots Rain dead, causing her head to hit a trapdoor button, opening it and dropping the Licker under the train which ultimately kills it for good. At the mansion, Matt's wound begins mutating. Before Alice can give him the anti-virus, the mansion doors burst open and a group of Umbrella scientists seizes them. They subdue Alice and take Matt away, revealing he is to be put into the Nemesis Program.
Some time later, Alice awakens at the Raccoon City Hospital strapped to an examination table, with no memory of what happened since her capture. After escaping, she goes outside to find Raccoon City abandoned and ruined. Alice arms herself with a shotgun from an abandoned police car as the camera pans out.

Review:
But Resident Evil 2 is also a great horror-game..
Actually, I observed a friend or two play these games since I was new to the world of Playstation, and I was still a loyal Super Nintendo fan at the time.
I was very impressed and wanted to play it after a friend's character dies from zombie bite attack.The first time I started, I watched a very entertaining yet cheesy introduction sequence in live FMV.
That made me nervous playing the game looking around the corner to avoid zombies popping out of the corners.The story is very well-plotted with memorable characters, monsters and twists, albeit with awful dialogues.
Quite frankly, Resident Evil is one of the best video game moments I've ever had in my life because of the wonderful feelings I had the first time I played.
Resident Evil completely changed the way I perceive how video games can accomplish - immerse yourself into the video game world - something that The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy series achieved to a certain extent but not yet whole.
Resident Evil is plot driven - but the special forces you command (Chris or Jill) still hold character: the story holds up extremely well and the subsequent movie producers and directors should be shot or at least eaten alive by bio-infected gimp zombies for their crappy introduction to the world of raccoon city.
CHRIS/JILL/BARRY/WESKER you are unwelcome guests at the mansion of RESIDENT EVIL.
The definitive SURVIVAL HORROR video game that defines the console world like the Exorcist for movies.
Resident Evil is the game that defined the survival horror genre.
When it was originally released way back in 1996 it took the video game world by storm and has since spawned a number of sequels and clones.The story revolves around the members of a special police task force who are sent to a remote mountainous location to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a number of hikers.
one of the best games in the world to date,and still going strong,this has paved the way for games such as parasite eve and silent hill in my opinion,resident evil truly is a classic,from the graphics,to the suspense of walking down a dimly lit corridor,with eerie music being played in the background,wondering whether you heard the squelch of a footstep behind you,to the plot of the games(i'm not going to give anything away!).sure enough there are flaws (the dialogue is atrocious,but it doesn't bother me) but every game has flaws,i've bought near enough every resi game thats followed on from this,and will carry on to do so,i'm hooked!
They would just wish they were never born.Resident Evil is a classic video game series.
Unfortunately, the first movie wasn't nearly as good as any of the main games from the series.This first version of Resident Evil/Biohazard, is the best one yet in my opinion.
"Resident Evil," the game, works just as well theatrically as it does in terms of gameplay -- it's an addictive experience with haunting visuals, a creepy perfectly suited score and tense, suspense-building action that propels into bloody gore.I've never felt so nervous and sweaty while playing an RPG before.
I have a suspicious feeling that much of the love comes from copious amounts of nostalgia, since Resident Evil was easily the first and best horror game with a cinematic experience to reach a large audience at the time.I was introduced to the phenomenon by a friend who tirelessly tried to get me at the same level of appreciation as he did.
The intriguing setup of plunging players into a personal hell and have them find out what happened and how to get out for themselves is still the best way to draw the player into the narrative, and there is nice balance between the zombie threat and ammunition, which means there is no room for a gung-ho gun battle and every shot must count.What quality is present in the plot and atmosphere, however, is almost undone by the sheer horror that passes for a script and performances.
Upon playing, I found this game to be like an amusingly bad horror movie where the tense parts are periodically interrupted by unintentional comic relief.
Because the script is cheesy all the way through, it really adds to the overall B- movie quality of the game, but at the end, you'll still be satisfied by the decent plot, gameplay and puzzles that challenged you.
I'll admit that I still prefer the REmake: it had a more serious tone, better scares, expanded plot, better actors and an improved script to match, making it an A-level B-movie, where I would rate the original as an 'enjoyably made' B- movie, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the original game is still the definition of interactive horror that changed the way of gaming for the next couple of decades..
Despite sometimes awkward tank-like controls, the game runs at a good pace and is quite fun too, whether you are killing monsters or solving puzzles, with the former being the most frequent throughout the game, and thanks to a variant number of creatures and weapons, it never gets old and despite how later in the game some of the enemies start to regenerate, it is usually is fun to fight these foes.
Many of the creatures sound menacing and make them more intimidating, motivating you to kill them as soon as possible, and for the most part, the music is pure brilliance, helping to up the game's creepy atmosphere and at certain points (like when you go into a save room or at the end credits) can be strangely calming as it makes a nice change of pace and tone from the intense action.Is everything in this game perfect?
Despite those problems, the original Resident Evil has aged very well and stands out as not only one of the best of its genre, but one of the best video games of all time.
Fun, tension-filled and always a joy to play, the original Resident Evil is flawed, but it has more than enough polish and great aspects to it that make up for this in spades.
If you haven't played this game yet, I would definitely recommend it to you, as it is a true masterclass in survival horror and it is one of the best video games of all time..
The tone is very dark & intense, the scares are flawless, the story is interesting, & it probably has the best characters in the entire franchise: Chris Redfield & Jill Valentine.
But where after all these years Resident Evil still is impressive is on the level of game play it offers, there is so much for you to do along with creepy music and still a few jump-out-at-you scene however and it may just seem a bit like running around but trust me - it is so much fun.
I would urge people who are going re-visit this classic to play as Chris Redfeild because it is harder as he can carry less items than his counterpart Jill Valentine and that will make you enjoy the game a lot more whilst Jill Valentine has the ability to carry more weapons and fire power which makes you whizz right through it.
Just play this game, and you'll see that RESIDENT EVIL is one of the best game series' out there.
Those who have wondered whether any of the so-called live action footage in a video game is "shot" before the voices are dubbed will be enlightened by Biohazard and the series built around it.The makers of Biohazard and its many sequels freely admit that they were inspired by an obscure little horror film called Night Of The Living Dead.
Resident Evil features what is quite possibly the most convoluted Find Item X To Insert In Slot Y plots in the history of video games, but with a difference.
Resident Evil has enough atmosphere for thirty survival horror games, with more to spare.
Indeed, Resident Evil gives us such insight into what it is like to be the star of a B-grade Japanese zombie horror film that this alone makes the game worth the asking price.
The game that started the world-wide popular video game series known as the Biohazard/Resident Evil.
There have been thousands of games I've played during my past time: Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Metroid, etc., but no game will ever come as close as Resident Evil, because it is a great game.
You have your choice of weapons depending on the person (Jill or Chris) and with the characters, there is a different story going on behind the game when you play.
This game is not only a great survival horror, but you also need to use your brain, it's really tough and none of the sequels surpass it, it's great, enjoyable and very scary at times.
The only real bad point about this game is the acting, it's not bad but it's not great although I like characters Jill Valentine and Rebbecca Chambers best..
The voices are poorly acted,but the tension is at times unbearable.A true masterpiece!It has more thrills and chills than most horror movies.Simply the best videogame ever made!.
Resident Evil is the best game in the history of games to me.
Resident Evil can still be proud to show its head today, as it is still one of the best games on the Playstation.
Resident Evil is one of the best games of all time.
So Resident Evil IS a masterpiece (10/10) and basic to every horror game or movie based on a game made after 1996.
I hope that Capcom present Resident Evil 4 on Playstation 2 as a killer game, just like RE 1, 2 & 3..
Resident evil(Biohazard),is an excellent game.The plot is great,the story makes sense,the gameplay is sweet,the monsters are wicked,and it has (in my opinion)the greatest end boss fight of any resident evil i've played to date..
I can safely say this induces a delicious level of fear.In short, though this is an older Playstation game, if you're looking to get scared out of your wits and don't get that feeling from the 'horror' movies produced nowadays, give Resident Evil a spin - you won't regret it..
Resident Evil (BioHazard)was the first game I ever played on the Playstation.
If you really want to get into the series, then you got to play them all, you should start with this one or Resident Evil 0 when it comes out for N64..
Back in 1996 CAPCOM introduced it's fans to the world of survival horror simply titled resident evil the first ever horror game that spawned sequels , spin offs , comics , and movies resident evil's plot is about a group of S.T.A.R.S. members who are to find out what happened to their team in the arklay mountains in the outskirts of raccoon city however strange occurrences are happening in raccoon city as a couple of humans are eating alive by mutated monsters the team find the missing chopper which crashed landed in a forest the team are puzzled and confused about how the team went missing and why did this all happen they get pursued by mutated dogs which forces them to escape and hide in a mansion they have to find out the truth behind all this 
the characters are definitely memorable and the best in any horror game usually the voice acting is crap so probably best with japanese dub resident evil also seems to have alot of inspirations from horror movies like the evil dead , night of the living dead and other zombie horror movies speaking of movies did you know that resident evil is based of a japanese horror movie called sweet home even capcom made a game based on the movie back in probably 1989 or 1991
I know the HD remake for the GameCube did kind of blow this out of the water, but I do like the original version better because I have a fond nostalgia for it, I love those low-res graphics, the way your character handles like a three-wheeled shopping trolley, even all of that legendary cheesy dialogue, everything just gives it a great vibe that's fun and scary as hell at the same time and I still feel the same way to this day!
I remember how this was one of those early titles of the Playstation that really championed it, and even though there were pseudo-survival horror games before it like Clocktower, it was definitely Resident Evil that truly ignited the genre.
The live-action stuff is so unbelievably corny and laughable but that thankfully didn't reflect the real value and meat of the game, although of course it is dotted with many priceless snippets of hilariously awkward character interactions that very much make it all feel like you're playing an interactive horror B-movie, and that's a quality that I quite enjoy about this game.
They seek shelter in a large mansion where their journey begins as they encounters horrifying things like zombies, killer mutant animals and other monsters that roam the mansion as they try to survive and complete their mission so they can escape.Thrilling and chilling Sci-fi horror adventure game that introduced the world to the now popular "Resident Evil" franchise.
There's even good character development and chilling music as well, this game besides the original "Alone in The Dark" spawned the big time survival horror adventure genre.
This is the first of the Resident Evil games (or Biohazard games), and from the ones I have played it is my least favorite.
But aside from that, this game freaked me out the first time I played it, because I've always pictured the "Resident Evil" series as an original haunted house thriller!
However, nowadays, with Xbox One and PS4 being the 'in thing', the original game does not get a look in ( a retro gaming magazine even panned it, classing it as 'camp and dated' ), which is a terrible shame as in my view it is still a joy to play, despite its woeful graphics and bad acting.The two playable characters in the game are machine expert Jill Valentine and PM Chris Redfield, both of which serve as part of Alpha Team of S.T.A.R.S ( Special Tactics and Rescue Squad ) police force based in the fictional American town of Raccoon City and are sent out along with Captain Albert Wesker, Rebecca Chambers ( Bravo Team's First-Aider ) weapons specialist Barry Burton to the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of cannibalistic attacks.
The acting aside, the thrill-packed game-play and suspense factor more than makes up for this shortcoming and is highly recommended to anyone who loves a gory shoot-em-up.In 1998, the sequel 'Resident Evil 2' was released and did just as well commercially as the first.
Many adaptations of 'Resident Evil' may have came and went over the years but in my opinion the original remains the best..
Being that "Resident Evil 2" was the first one I played, this is a stellar debut that promises more good to come.
Also the infamous Jill Sandwich line comes in as well.The Mansion is full of Zombies and monsters created by The Umbrella company with the used of the T-Virus a virus that can reanimated dead cellsThe Player must fight their way through this nightmare with limited weapon power and save featuresIt should be noted that this game while loved also has the worst voice acting in video game history and The Game is also in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008 for the "Worst Game Dialogue Ever"Regardless of the voice acting the game really delivers on the horror factor really making you feel scared the whole time while playing it because it really have things jump out at you when you never see it coming The Controls in the game don't help out as well because they really limited to make sure the player would be really scared to playThe Music is well done as well and making it some of the best music in video games.With the fact that Resident Evil has two different story lines in the game because of Chris and Jill it offers replay value making it a worthily challengeAll in All Resident Evil is a must have for any horror fan and fans of the Resident Evil SeriesI give Resident Evil a 8 out of 10 a game you can't be without in your collection.
Back in 1997 when i bought the PS1 A lot of my friends recommend Resident Evil for me but since i was so scared from horror films and TV shows i decided not to buy it until the next year when RE2 was on market and had this huge impact on my school friends so i decided to buy it and at the same time i bought the official walkthrough guide to play it and in it was also the walkthrough for the first game also so i went the next week and bought the first game!
There's a parallel that one notices when comparing the Resident Evil video game series to the George A.
Fast-forward to 1996, where Capcom achieves the same notoriety in the video game world by releasing "Resident Evil", or "Biohazard" as it's known overseas.
Much like in Romero's third installment to the "Living Dead" trilogy, Day of the Dead, there is now a military presence in the series, the leader of which is revealed to be corrupt.Sadly, Capcom decided to take a different approach to the later Resident Evil games, placing a greater emphasis on action rather than horror and suspense, which left many fans of the original games disappointed.
Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard in Japan) is by far the greatest survival horror video game ever made.
The graphics were top notch at that time and it shows how much videogames have changed in the past few years.If you ever play a horror game, play Resident Evil.
