Resident Evil 2 (1998)
Best: Expanding The World: Resident Evil 2 is where Ada Wong and Leon S. Kennedy are introduced to the series, kickass characters who are still around and still showing up in Resident Evil games all these years later. Oh and let’s not forget the massive and nearly-unstoppable monster in a trenchcoat, Mr. X. He’s pretty cool (and dangerous) too.
Worst: The Sewer Stuff: RE2 has a weird problem where its opening half is so good—exploring that police station is so memorable—that the rest of the game suffers from just being less interesting. The sewer isn’t awful in either the original version (or the remake) but it’s a downgrade from those opening hours in either scenario.
