I personally prefer the old-style Resident Evil games. Never mind that the controls were awkward or that the voice acting were so laughably bad. The game designs of Resident Evil until RE Zero were clearly better than what were used in RE4 and RE5.
I managed to play Resident Evil 2 on both PSX and N64 many years ago.
Here's a nice look back for those of you who feel nostalgic or who never got to play RE2 before. RE2 is very memorable and I really love what game producer Shinji Mikami and his team pulled off to deliver greatness.
