I was not expecting a buff man with a glorious beard to have this soft calming voice.

Fans: "We want Leon!" Capcom: "We have Leon at home." Leon at Home: *BRUCE*

This game has one of my favorite save room themes in the series.

bootleg ada and bootleg Leon, perfect

Also, according to the Wikia: "The introduction to the "Reconstructuring Notice" was cut in places, thereby removing the explanation for Morpheus D. Duvall's dismissal. It also erroneously implies that he was blamed for the Raccoon Incident, while in the Japanese version, it was actually alluding to the Arklay Mountains incident."

Why was this game never ported to the Wii? Would have been perfect for it!

I dont think the monsters look that bad. if the game lacks something its defenitly "color" im surprised that you didnt mentioned that. The game looks basically grey... Resident evil is a rare example of how colors work well with survival horror games.

The protagonist's face is the scariest thing about the game. Also your face and voice don't match, but they're both nice.

lol, i was literally wondering the other day if you were going to cover this title . I think most people forget this one even exists, great work man! Your channel is awesome!

Gun is labeled as semi-auto, fires in bursts

This game seems more fun than I thought. I wish Capcom would have done something like this in Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles instead of making them 100% light-gun style.

looks like a predecessor that would lead up to resident evil 4

A few corrections: I always assumed the blaming of Morpheus for the Raccoon Incident was just the Company using him as a scapegoat. I believe it's stated in the in-game files, but the G virus was a nightmare to work without Birkin, so it was probably way eaiser for him to get his hands on the T-virus. Plus, the G-virus isn't really good at causing an outbreak since it can't be transmitted via bite or scratch.

I remember playing this with a Blaster Light Gun from pelican for PlayStation when I was a kid. It felt so natural, favorite gun controller to this day. Used to play Dead Aim and Time Crisis 3 all day.

This game was fun to play when I first played it. I didn't have an issue with using the controller to shoot, but it would have helped to have a mouse. This game is a hidden gem for Resident Evil fans. It's not the best but it is good.

Discovered this retrospective series yesterday and I've marathoned through them all! Seriously, AWESOME job!

That atmosphere in this game is just... wow! Really good.

just wanna say this retrospective has been superb. I appreciate you giving re5/6 and all the spin offs fair shake while still sticking to your core love for the old games.

You got your info mixed up. In the "Dismissal Notice" file they aren't referencing the G-Virus outbreak incident of Birkin injecting himself. May 11th is when the first incidents with the queen leech virus start taking place. "On May 11, 1998 the Queen Leech triggered a containment failure in the underground laboratory." Because remember, The mansion incident happens in July when S.T.A.R.S go in to investigate, just the night after BRAVO heads in with Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil 0. In those cutscenes/that time Birkin is still alive conferring with Wesker. So maybe Morpheus did have something to do with the containment failure in the underground lab along with Marcus? It's never mentioned in 0, but since it's not official we can still use our imaginations and Dead Aim can still be correct.

This game used to scare me a lot. The moans of the zombies is horrifying

Glad to see your opinion on Dead Aim is turned around. Definitely my second favorite spinoff, with the second best save room theme.

The main character looks like a knockoff Wal-Mart version of Leon Kennedy. Also, what a coincidence that the main supporting character was also an Asian agent. I see what you tried to do, Capcom. I see. Lol

I always felt that the idea of "Morpheus was responsible for the Mansion Incident" makes more sense when you see it as Umbrella trying to use Morpheus as a fall guy for the court cases that RE4 talked about.

Wasnt Morpheus just being Blamed for the Racoon outbreak? as in he was a scape goat which is why he turned on umbrella. Never knew about the mouse that's pretty cool, i used a light gun which doubled as a controller with directional buttons. It also had cool bosses with features for example take pluto, if you can shoot his head enough his brain hangs out and if you shoot it he dies. I liked this review better thanks for doing it. You should do outbreak next.

RE is one of my favorite franchises and this happens to be the first RE I ever played. Seeing such an in depth look on a relatively obscure game makes me really happy!

My dude I had no idea you had such a majestic beard. Keep up the great reviews!

THANK YOU for showing gameplay clips. I remember being frustrated years ago when I tried looking for Let's Plays of the game, and all I found were extremely poor quality, and one was someone holding a camera in front of their TV screen. Another was someone with like infinite ammo or something killing everything before you can take in some of the enemy models. Your review is literally the only video in all of KZfaq that clearly showed off the weird Hunters this game had. The RE wiki had screenshots in this odd angle, I was obsessed for the longest time how they'd look in-game, that weird clawless hand, and how they'd even attack.

This game make me want a sequel for dead aim series

I just found out this was made by Cavia, same guys behind Drakangard and first Nier games.

I really liked this game back in the day, despite having to play it with just the controller (15 years later, and I learn that you could use a mouse...well, guess better late than never), so yes, I feel your pain about the final boss, which is incredible frustrating having to deal with it using the right analog stick, and if you lose, you have to beat the final boss AGAIN before having another attemp at this guy... Anyway, I actually liked the graphics, it looks like a Dreamcast game, but that is a plus in my book, and I really enjoyed the story, but that is most likely because I'm a James Bond fan. In short, glad you gave this game another chance, your original review was a bit too harsh on it. Sure, this isnt REmake, but back in 2003, this was a great "consolation prize" for PS2 only owners (I had a Gamecube, but I still really enjoyed this game, maybe more than RE0). "is there a reason why american spies use such ugly weapons?" - Morpheus

It might be nostalgia. Back in the day I used to live with my dad in Bahrain. It was either stay inside during the day with air-conditioning or get wrecked by the dessert. I found a cheap PS2 and the only game I didn't know was dead aim(i am sure they sold in Europe but never seen it or heard about it) . They sold it with the light gun. And it was one of my best RE experiences. It felt really good moving with the d-pad on the gun and the shooting worked great. Felt really immersive. Staying inside wasn't so bad in the end ;)

This is my first viewing of one of your Retrospective videos and I gotta say, I loved it. You’ve earned yourself a sub.

This is probably one of the weirdest resident evil games in the series

I love these Resident Evil retrospectives, RE is one of my favorite franchises of all times and I love hearing your thoughts on each game. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Outbreak games!

This retrospective series is literally the coolest thing. Thanks for doing this great videos.

LOVING these retrospectives. Keep up the good work!

When you mentioned playing with a controller and mouse feeling weird, I laughed a bit: there's a device that's basically exactly that concept, called the SplitFish, a nunchuk and mouse controller meant to work with first-person shooters.

Can't wait for the re7 video Keep up the great work.

I just found your channel and I have to say I love your content! I’m a huge fan of the Resident Evil series and I’ve been enjoying the retrospectives. Keep up the good work and I can’t see which game in the series you’ll tackle next!

An excellently written review admirably performed and exceptionally executed. Keep em coming man. Love it!

10:40 Is that a......frontflipping tyrant? Also, wow your voice is super comforting.

I love this game lol. It's so ridiculous. Also I highly recommend trying it with subtitles since I hear they (whether purposely or not) seem to be hilariously incorrect.

KZfaq recommendations on point for once! I loved this! Can't wait to watch everything else on your channel.

Thanks for this amazing series! Played this game with my huge PS2 Lightgun back in the days and have fond memories of it.

This game wasn't amazing by any means but it did have an atmosphere that made it frightening.

The Second RE title to take place on a Cruise Ship after Gaiden. I only ever refer to it as HEROES NEVER DIE. And hey, I enjoyed the story. The T/G virus is a new addition here and it's affect on Morpheus Duvall (it turned him into a woman) was blamed for the Arklay Lab disaster. It could be part of the official canon. This takes place in 2002, right? Did Umbrella have an official corporate end date (rather than the 2003 end of Umbrella mission)?

Amazing video, nice to see that you got a way to give this game some kind of redemption, while its not the best game by any chance i just played it a lot due to how much fun it was playing it and landing headshot after headshot! hope you do outbreak 1 and 2 next, they really deserve some praise since they really bring a lot of survival in the survival horror

Wow, I never knew you could play this game with a mouse, I remember too how frustrating playing this game was with just the normal controller, it really doesn't give it justice. Dead Aim is definitely one of the better spin-off games in the series.

So Gun Survivor has 4 games, yet Dino Crisis can't get past three? That's criminal :( I do own this one but it's just a case of finding time to try it

What the hell!? This shit wasnt in my sub feed. If it wasnt 4 that twitter post about metal gear you made earlier, i wouldnt have even checked. (MGS4 is still best game) i wouldn't know you uploaded. 16hrs late but better late than never.

I just subscribed yesterday, and your videos are amazing, Jared. Thanks so much for sharing some awesome content. Keep it up! :)

I love your channel! just discovered it yesterday and I've watched so many now :D

i remember watching a walkthrough of this game... It was aight, the cutscenes were really nice for its time, too. also, holy fucking shit ahahahahahahaha i was not expecting to see a big badass beefy looking dude with a wicked beard behind the screen ahahahaha doesn't match your soft-spoken tone, that's fuckin sick and caught me off guard in a good way ahahaha

You gonna do an umbrella corps review bro lmao. i got the game free in a humble bundle and still won't play it

This game feels like it was specifically made for Wii, shooting with the remote and moving with the nunchuk, weird they didn't port it, would have fit like a glove

I still have all my old RE games and still love all of them :)

I had the incredible pleasure of playing this game with a Mission-Plus lightgun I picked up way back in the PS2 days. I think that fact alone just completely biased my opinion on the game. That was well over 10 years ago. I came to the internet later to know that the game was considered unplayable horrid hot garbage, and that you shouldn't ever even consider looking at it. Another shameful RE Wannabe. And I couldn't understand it. The Mission-Plus alone turned it into a godlike experience. It was a Desert Eagle model imitation (Bonus points) that had a gamepad attached on the side of what would be the underslung laser sight, matching right where my thumb would be while holding the gun, with buttons to boot, making the exploration to shooting transition instantaneous and seamless. It also had a really really cool recoil function, where the slide would actually kick back every time I pulled the trigger, taking the immersion up to 11. Add that to all the points that Avalanche gave to this game in terms of its atmosphere, zombie movement, hit detection, good blend of RE exploration and RE combat, a dark room with a big ass CRT and I had probably the best time I ever had in a zombie game for a very long time. Glad to have seen this review, its amazing what shit controls can do to a game, conversely, its amazing what great controls do FOR a game.

the only game in the series where headshots actually meant something...I wish they did this formula again

I’ve been binge watching all your RE reviews and I gotta give you a big thumbs up! Great reviews for all the games(even if 4-6 sucked gameplay wise) I completely forgot about dead aim! I’ve been playing them since RE1 came out on ps1, it is still my favorite out of all of them, keep up the good reviews!

I’ve played this game twice growing up. I remember genuinely enjoying it. This review makes me want to go out and pick this game up again AND A USB MOUSE. Great video man!

Instead of Fong Ling, they should've just dispensed with the pretense and called her "Definitely Not Ada Wong". When you said the person who wrote this game's story didn't seem to know much about the series other than surface level stuff, that reminded me of Resident Evils 4 and 7. They have a great core narrative going with Leon, Chris, and all the others, but Capcom has this weird obsession with making Resident Evil games that have absolutely no ties to the rest of the series. This game seems to be one of those. It's almost bizarre. At least this one has zombies, so I gotta give it that. Sounds like a game I might want to try though, as long as my Cougar Minos X3 works on the PS3.

I'd love to have this game remade for the Nintendo Switch but retconing the story to have Leon and Ada instead of their knock-offs.

_"It turns out there's a sweet spot just above the forehead"_ Gabby Giffords: "And I took that presoanlyl"

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that playing with a guncon 2 controller might be the best way to play this underrated game.

Character design seems to have a strong correlation in regards to the quality of an RE product.

The game I always bring up whenever RE7 babbies try to dismiss my criticism with "you just hate the first person view!" Not too surprisingly, few of them have even heard of the Survivor games.

I actually found an old ps1 light gun and tried it on my Ps2 for this game. It was alot of fun and worked suprisingly well. The lack of button on the Ps1 gun was made up by keeping the Ps2 controller close. It basically means: Walk and interact with ps2 controller, zombies? Pull out gun, shoot once for FPS view, Shoot twice to nail the bastard. Might sound like a bit of a handfull but it gives it a realistic feel, like, having to pull out your gun at the sight of an enemy, just the half second extra movment. All in the name of extra fun. Cheers and excellent review btw.

That’s really cool that they programmed in that mouse solution. I can definitely see the mouse greatly improving the aiming during combat. Still not sure if I’d pick it up, but that’s still good to know.

Was this a good game? Seems really underrated.

You’re hardcore look made me subscribe. I thought u was a skinny clean cut blonde with eyes so green it makes you envy the forest!

Bruce is my favorite character. He was doing the witty one liners, before they had Leon do that. And if you know which button to push, you can move and shoot at the same time. People credit Outbreak file 2 for doing this first, but it was really this game that did it first.

Awesome video Avalance!!

I saw this and thought "huh, did he reupload it? Nah, it's way longer than the older video". Anyway, I'm sorry you had to play what you consider the worst of the RE series again.

This game isn’t even animated nicely or anything. Doesn’t match the polish of the majority of Resident Evil games. Hard to believe it was released AFTER the masterful Code Veronica.

Bruce looks like Leon and Brad Pitt had a child that went in to be in a 90’s boy band

Life Saver the tip with the mouse. By coincidence I started it on my PS2 yesterday.. . Thanks man!!!

I think Mcgivern has easily the gayest hair of any main character in the series

Your hard work on this series truly pays off. It really fucking enjoyable.

this game was great when it came out, great atmosphere on the ship, the hum of the background while zombies giving out a scary groan in the distance can be heard, but cant be seen. played it with a pad back then and loved it. it was a totally different feel for the usual tank turning controls.

Great video, really enjoyed the series so far. I'd love to see Outbreak next personally as I feel it's the game in the series I know least about.

Your reviews inspire me

Great video always wanted to know about this game

Been waiting for new vids ❤️

Fun childhood tale. Wee lad undead had to help his dad beat this game by sitting near the console and swapping between the provided light gun and a controller for the final boss because he couldn't aim right with the controller and couldn't run right with the gun XD

sadly i cant get any of my mice working properly in this game, most dont do anything but 1 actually does do something but i cant aim up or down for some reason

This was genuinely one of my favorite RE spinoffs.

I really love this kind of review!!!

Lik-Sang used to sell a universal gun controller that works with Playstation/PS2/Xbox (probably only 480i passthrough, not progressive scan) and emulates Namco GunCon, and works with LCD/projection/100Hz/120Hz TVs/monitors. I don't know if it was any good. Sorry for opening an old wound in case you knew Lik-Sang. Also a perfectly adequate Dreamcast VGA box was like $15.

Man that save room music is just so satisfying

Great review! You’ve earned a sub! I’m a sucker for RE anything!

This game, to me, is one of the oddest and most surprising experiences I've had with an RE-game. From first glance, there are very few favors; the classic, campy arcade-shooter FPS-style - often characterized as being fast-paced, very linear (and quite outdated) - in an RE-game was a mix I felt was doomed from the get-go. Dis another typing of the dead? But the amount of times I was genuinely impressed and affected by it's atmosphere; one of the loneliest in the series, honestly, and quite ominous aswell. Maybe my exceedingly low expectations did help out somewhat (and there are still plenty of control-related issues, quite obvious from the style at hand), but honestly, would kinda recommend...??

This review makes me want to pick this game up, thanks!

I played it with light gun and I had a great fun time! Characters were passable to me.

It’s funny that the sweet spot for instant kills is the hardest part of the human skull and body, which is capable of surviving shot from both rifles and handguns, rare, but it has been recorded numerous times. It should be the T zone but I guess they don’t know much about guns and shot placement in Japan. Also, in reality, unless you sever the brain stem, a person can still function for some time after being shot in the head, it happened to someone very close to me unfortunately.

If you're stumped on what game to do next, I personally would love to see you review the Outbreak games. It'd be cool to see what your perspective of those games are. I was a teenager when they came out. I loved playing the first one online, despite its flaws. File #2 I didn't like as much, mostly because I thought the levels were nowhere near as good as the first Outbreak's levels. Anyway, thanks for the cool video. I'm really digging your retrospective series on these games.

“At a little under 20 bucks” Oh my how times have changed

this series won my subscribe, i fucking love these vids

I had a lot of fun with this game and a guncon when it came out.

I actually like this game. It was the first re game that I played and got me into them

Seeing you having gripes with the ps2 controller, makes me remember how good I was when playing this game wit it. Although, now that you acknowledged the mouse thing...
