| genre = Survival horror | modes = Single-player }} ''Resident Evil'', known in Japan as , is a survival horror video game developed by Capcom and originally released for the GameCube video game console in 2002. It is a remake of the 1996 game ''Resident Evil'', the first installment in the ''Resident Evil'' video game series. The story of the game follows ''Resident Evil'' protagonists Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine and their efforts to survive in an abandoned mansion filled with monsters. The game features vastly improved graphics over the original game as well as new gameplay mechanics, story details, and additional areas for the player to explore. However, the game retains the same graphical style of previous ''Resident Evil'' games and features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds. ''Resident Evil'' was developed over the course of one year and two months and was directed by Shinji Mikami, who also designed and directed the original game for the PlayStation. Upon release, ''Resident Evil'' received critical acclaim from video game journalists, who praised its graphics and improved gameplay over the original game. It is often described as one of the best, scariest, and most visually impressive entries in the ''Resident Evil'' series. Despite this, the game sold worse than expected and led Capcom to change the direction of the series to a more action-oriented approach. In 2008, the game was ported to the Wii, featuring a new control system. A high-definition version of the game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in 2015 to positive critical reception and commercial success. ==Gameplay== ''Resident Evil'' is a survival horror game where the player controls the on-screen character from a third-person perspective to interact with the environment. To advance through the game, the player must explore a mansion and its surrounding areas while avoiding, outsmarting and defeating various types of monsters like zombies, undead dogs, and giant spiders.〔 The player can open doors, push certain objects, climb obstacles, and pick up items. When an item is collected, it is stored in an inventory that the player can access at any time. Items in the inventory can be used, examined, and combined to solve puzzles and gain access to areas that were previously inaccessible.〔 The inventory is limited to a certain number of slots, and the player must often move items from the inventory to storage boxes located in certain areas to manage space.〔 Although the player can use firearms to kill monsters, ''Resident Evil'' emphasizes evasion over fast-paced combat by providing the player with limited ammunition. The player also has a limited amount of health which decreases when attacked by monsters. Nevertheless, players can regain their health by collecting and using herbs, which can be mixed with other herbs to increase their healing effect.〔 Some monsters can also infect the player with a poisoning effect, which gradually depletes the player's health over time until the poison is cured with serum or special herbs.〔 The zombies that are defeated but not decapitated or burned eventually revive mutated into a much faster and deadlier opponents.〔 Like in the original ''Resident Evil'', the player can play as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine and each character has advantages and disadvantages.〔 For example, Chris can take more damage than Jill but Jill can carry more items and unlock certain doors with a lock pick. Both characters can also equip defensive weapons that can save them from taking damage when seized by an enemy. These defensive weapons include a dagger and a special weapon that is exclusive to each of them: Jill can use a taser, while Chris is able to shove stun grenades into the zombies' mouths and detonate them with a pistol shot.〔 Defensive weapons are limited and can only be used when the player is grabbed by a monster.〔 The game features an automap to help players navigate the different areas of the game. Additionally, the player can pick up maps of certain sections to reveal unexplored areas.〔 To save their progress, players need to find ink ribbons and use them with a typewriter; the game features a limited supply of ink ribbons, so players cannot save their progress as many times as they want.〔 The story of the game is slightly altered by the character the player chooses to play as,〔 and certain choices the player makes in the game can impact the direction of the game and its ending.〔 Upon completing the game under a certain difficulty setting and time limit, the player may unlock secret costumes for the main characters, bonus weapons, and special difficulty modes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resident Evil (2002 video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
