This game was my introduction to the Resident Evil franchise and the survival horror genre, so it means a lot to me. I don't rate games or movies based on nostalgia, because let's be honest: some things just don't age well in the test of time and lose their effect that may have been once powerful in one's childhood. However, I must say: this still stands out as the best zombie horror game ever made. Best survival horror game ever made? That could be debatable with other strong contenders such as Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space 1. However, as far as zombie/mutated creatures games go, this stands on top. It has numerous jump scares and a great creepy atmosphere that leaves you tense while exploring the abandoned Raccoon City police department.
