Okay, I've been reading many a review on RE2 and 3's port to GCN. We all knew there would be pretty much no improvements at all to the games, but I had assumed all the N64 exclusives and the PC exclusive stuff would be added to the PS1's ultimate release and together that would make up this game. Sadly, the N64 and PC bonus stuff is missing, and this is just the PC game. It's kinda sad, but to get all the stuff in this game, you must buy at least two versions, and this isn't one of them since it has NOTHING new added. The minimal two are the PC version for it's "aranged" mode, plus everything the PS1 version had, and the N64 version for it's "random" mode, it's extra "Ex" files, and it's little blood level options (however, it lacks the PS1 version's mode where you have to disarm bombs). They really should have at least taken the time to add all the exclusive material across all the versions into this one, which could have been the "complete" version to get. Sadly, this one comes up lacking due to that.
As for RE3, fortunatly the exclusives are very minor. The PC/DC versions had stuff unlocked from the start, and 2 extra costumes, but lacked the challenge of getting some key to get to a room that the PS1 version had. They used the PS1 version. They could have just added the two extra costumes from the PC/DC versions and again made this the "complete" version, but this too is lacking. Well, it's only lacking something graphical really. RE2 is the biggest lack of effort.
Sorry lazy, but it seems Capcom put all their efforts into REbirth and didn't even want to make a complete version of RE2 and 3.
