A bit more backstory and a bit more killing.
Always fun.

Resident Evil 2, known in
Japan as
Biohazard 2 (
Japanese:
バイオハザード2 Hepburn:
Baiohazādo Tsū?), is a
1998 survival horror video game originally released for the PlayStation.
Developed by Capcom as the second installment in the
Resident Evil series, its story takes place two months after the events of the first game, Resident Evil. It is set in
Raccoon City, an
American community whose residents have been transformed into zombies by the T-virus, a biological weapon developed by the pharmaceutical company
Umbrella. In their escape from the city, the two protagonists,
Leon S. Kennedy and
Claire Redfield, encounter other survivors, and are confronted by
William Birkin, the mutated creator of the even more powerful weaponized virus called the G-virus.
The gameplay of Resident Evil 2 focuses on exploration, puzzle solving and combat, and features typical survival horror elements such as limited saves and ammunition. The game's main
difference from its predecessor is the "
Zapping System", which provides each player character with unique storylines and obstacles. Developed by a team of 40–50 people over the course of one year and nine months, Resident Evil 2 was directed by
Hideki Kamiya and produced by
Shinji Mikami. The initial version of the game, commonly referred to as
Resident Evil 1.5, differed drastically from the released product and was scrapped at a development stage of 60–80 percent, after being deemed "dull and boring" by the producer. The resulting redesign introduced different settings and a more cinematic story presentation, supported by a soundtrack that employs "desperation" as an underlying theme.
Resident Evil 2 was widely acclaimed by critics, who praised its atmosphere, setting, graphics and audio. Its controls, voice acting and inventory system garnered some criticism, however, and certain reviewers disliked its puzzles. The game has become a million-seller, and is the franchise's most successful title on a single platform.
Years after its first release, Resident Evil 2 was included in several lists of the
100 best games.
Following its initial success on the PlayStation, it was ported to
Microsoft Windows, the
Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and GameCube, and was released as a modified 2.5D version for the
Game.com handheld. The story of Resident Evil 2 was retold and built upon in several later games, and has been adapted into a variety of licensed works. A remake is currently in development."
