I've been playing the series since I was about 10, the first game I played was the remake of the first and resident evil. I also played the other series such as code veronica, Resident evil 5, Resident evil revelations, Resident evil 3 nemesis,  and Resident evil 6. Feel free to get the game, its awesome but challenging at times. I highly recommend getting it. Also it can work on a ps2 but you need the original playstation memory card.
