Resident Evil 0 HD Reviews
Resident Evil Zero HD isn't exactly the most beloved game in the franchise, yet the high quality of the HD upgrade makes it well worth a look for fans of the series. It still features the main issues that the previous version had, but the detail that's gone into the restoration work is highly commendable and the new Wesker mode is worth unlocking. If only the base game wasn't more inventory management than surviving a zombie outbreak.
Some games get better with age, and nowadays it's not often a game attempts a slower pace, one where you carefully explore a relatively small but dense world. The enhancements to the graphics and controls are well done, making for a classic yet modern feeling experience, one that works well for veterans as well as newcomers alike.

Resident Evil Zero ist nicht unbedingt der beste Oldschool Ableger der Reihe, bietet aber alles was man sich als Fan der Serie wünschen würde. Falls ihr euch nicht von einer schwammigen und teilweise etwas anstregenden Co-Op Steuerung abschrecken lässt spricht eigentlich nichts dagegen als Resident Evil Fan hier zuzuschlagen. Für den Rest lohnt sich der Survival Trip in die Vergangenheit bis auf ein paar kleine Mängel natürlich auch.

A great way to play one of the weakest entries in the classic Resident Evil canon
Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a fantastic reworking of a solid entry into the mainline series.
A wonderful upgrade of one of the most derivative and dull titles in the series.
The last of the 'classic' Resident Evil games, Zero is now clunky and often infuriating. But the HD conversion looks and sounds superb, and once you get used to its quirks, it's still a class act.
A beautiful remaster of a game that tries to recreate the magic of the original Resident Evil, but repeatedly fails to do so.
A stumbling point for many reviewers is that headache-inducing moment when it's hard to decide whether a remastered title should be judged solely on its improvements, or rather on its actual value as a game, upgraded or not. The best course of action is, quite possibly, to do a little bit of both, but mostly focus on the core material, instead of the enhanced "wrapping." Therefore, going back to the previously asked question: is this title worth returning to? For those who loved the original GameCube version, Cubed3's three-step advice is simple: open wallet, give money, and scream for joy, because, although Resident Evil 0 is almost identical to the original, the HD makeover is marvellous. As for the rest: tread carefully, because the heavily chore-ish gameplay overshadows its few good aspects.
Capcom proves once again that it's quite good at this remastering lark. Resident Evil Zero HD is a brilliant update of another classic GameCube Resident Evil game for a modern audience that demands to be revisited once more or discovered for the first time. It's scary good.
Resident Evil Zero isn't quite up there with the likes of Resident Evil 2 or the remake, but it's still a solid horror romp that fans will want to pick up. And now it looks even better to boot.
Resident Evil Zero not only feels fresh 14 years after its original release, but it also showcases a superb remastering effort. A methodical game which truly rewards deep thought, this survival horror classic stands tall in genre that's been streamlined a little too much in recent times. If you've never played 'Becca and Billy's escapade, then there's never been a better opportunity. And for those who have survived the nightmare before, the new modes and graphical upgrades mean that there's plenty of reason to climb aboard.
Abstruse, demanding and silly, Resident Evil Zero has nevertheless stood time's test, thanks to its ingenious design and exquisite style.
Resident Evil 0 looks and sounds better than ever, providing the same great game as before, even if the controls feel somewhat unnatural at times.
Capcom's prequel was never the equal of its predecessors, but it remains much better than the series' last couple of numbered outings
As a whole, Resident Evil Zero isn't one of my favorite entries, but with the amount of care that went into this remake, like Resident Evil HD Remaster before it, I'm really coming around. In fact, just get both if you don't have them already.
A skillfully crafted example of bygone horror games that still holds up today
Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is still a fantastic update to an older game, but this one just isn't the classic that the original was. There's still some great survival horror gameplay, but the overall experience is not quite as thrilling or memorable. Still, for those starving for true survival horror this will certainly fit the bill.
Resident Evil Zero HD makes an already good survival-horror game better with upgraded visuals, modern controls, and an exciting new way to play.
