Graphically, RE2: Platinum is no different than the regular Resident Evil 2. Those who haven't yet played RE2, though, will no doubt benefit from the additional features included in the new release. It's yet another interesting addition but not something that makes this version standout. The gallery is full of concept drawings and 3D models as well as movies you can view, but only after acquiring them through gameplay. The desktop theme pack with screensaver is a nice addition but is just more stuff for true aficionados of the game. Again, this is probably the extent of what's new to this RE2 update. You clear each stage by escaping the levels, all the while picking up four mysterious items to complete the game. The other items he carries are not as good and may not be useful when he runs out of ammo for the Launcher. Each of them has his or her own unique weapons arrangement, with the best weapon belonging to Chris - a Rocket Launcher. The four members you can play are Chris Redfield (from the original Resident Evil), Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Ada Wong. The Extreme Battle Mode is an advanced version of the game that starts backwards, where you battle your way back to the police station. The only new extras you get is the Extreme Battle Mode, a desktop theme pack with screensaver and a gallery of sketches and movies. In fact, nearly everything about the new version has not changed since the release of RE2 for the PC. And, it hasn't changed a bit with this Platinum version. This opening CG intro was one of the best for any game at the time Resident Evil 2 was released. Leon yells "I'll meet you at the police station!" Claire has no choice but to agree.

A huge wall of flames now separates them.

The rookie cop and the girl are chased in Leon's police car until suddenly they crash when one of the dead tries to bite them from the back seat! Suddenly, the truck driver becomes a zombie himself and rams the police car but not before Leon and Claire jump out of the way. While Leon runs away from these hideous brain-eating, blood-sucking monsters, Claire Redfield, searching for her brother Chris, accidentally runs into him.

A sudden sound, a moan, prompts Leon to turn around - suddenly he's face to face with the living dead! Meanwhile, a truck driver is bitten by one of these nasty zombies at a gas station and wanders off onto the streets. The city looks abandoned and the night sky never seems to change. Leon Kennedy's first day on the job with the Raccoon Police Department turns out to be his worst nightmare when he discovers a dead body in the middle of a street.
