A review by odin45mp
Resident Evil by Philip J. Reed
3.0
This is an interesting analysis of the granddaddy of Survival Horror games. It is part memoir and reflection on how horror has influenced Reed, and part retrospective on the making of Resident Evil... from the perspective of the live action and voice actors. While I personally enjoyed hearing about their experience working on the game, it is an odd choice that those are the people that Reed interviewed, and analysis and commentary from the development team is almost entirely absent. In its place is a narrative playthrough of the game with analysis on what the development team was trying to accomplish, according to Reed. I would have preferred more input from the development team themselves, whether through sourced quotes from previous interviews, or new interviews conducted by Reed to go alongside his interviews with the cast.
