RE is a game that not only the first game that took more than an hour-and-a-half to beat, it was a revolution in video game playing.  It was the first in it's time.  The first game to have actual 3-D characters, rather than the suposive 3-D design that "Doom" and "Duke Nukem" bragged about their choppy, cardboard design.  Now that the movie of "Resident Evil" is out, kids and teenagers will be rushing out to buy the RE games.  For an aparent reason, the original RE isn't being sold anymore, rather that it's very, very rare and probably costs around 70 to 80 dollars.  Instead, they're is the Director's Cut. The DC is a odd version of RE that most people will be mistaking by the name.  No, it isn't more gorier, and no, Deleted Scenes not included; seriously.  Originally, the DC version had a much more explicit graphic beginning, with blood and all.  But due to censorship and problems with young kids bying M-Rated games and watching R-Rated movies, the scenes were cut out.  The only real different thing about the Director's Cut is the different costumes availible and items are in different spots. This will leave already RE owners high and dry, while satisfying non-RE game owners.  Anyways, the story.
