A Worthy Installment In The Resident Evil Series
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X remains one of the very best Resident Evil games. Being the first to move away from pre-rendered backgrounds and going with fully modeled 3D environments, it suffers slightly in the 'atmosphere' department when compared to the first three games (a bit of graphical fidelity is lost as well), although the fixed camera angles are still there, and the new shifting camera angles do add a lot of suspense and drama. As for character and story, Code: Veronica X does not disappoint, broadening the series mythology and deepening the characters we've known for three games now a bit more while adding some new ones. Gameplay is just what you'd expect-- exploration, close quarter combat, puzzles, limited resources, inventory management, and those beloved tank controls (haha). I suppose Code: Veronica X's style of gameplay was on the way out (and would die with REmake and RE0), but these old RE games are still eminently playable, eerily atmospheric, surprisingly scary and endlessly fun. And Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is all that in spades.
As for the GameCube version, it's my personal favorite-- i'm playing it on an HDMI modded GameCube and it looks absolutely fantastic (plus, i love the GameCube controller). I've also played the HD version on PS3 (available on PSN) and it was a fine port and looked good, although i prefer the look of these older games on the original hardware (i'm kind of a pixel junkie).
