Tech: Top 5 Overlooked GameCube Games, Part 4


If you've noticed, all the games featured on this list have been Nintendo-developed first-party projects - the big N is pretty untouchable when it comes to the breadth and depth of their design teams. Today's entry is an aberration - Capcom's Resident Evil Zero.

While Resident Evil 4 and the Resident Evil remake hogged all the spotlight, RE:0 proved to be a great, traditional Resident Evil adventure with all-new environments, puzzles, monsters, and story. Starting off in a spooky abandoned train, the action follows Rebecca Chambers and convict Billy Coen as they fight through the events leading up to the original Resident Evil. There's a fairly interesting partner-swapping system, so both Billy and Rebecca can blast away at zombies on the same screen.

This is the last of the traditional RE adventures - but it's also the fairest to the player. Save ribbons and ammunition are in just the right supply - if you run past the enemies you can run past and fight the ones you can't, you should have plenty of firepower to get past the game. The story and voice-acting are pretty good, the graphics are just as good as the RE remake, and overall, it's one of those forgotten GC-exclusive titles.
