Resident Evil Zero HD is a fun — but flawed — piece of old-school horror gaming

Resident Evil Zero originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002, and now, this overlooked entry in Capcom’s popular survival-horror series is back as an HD port for current systems.

The rerelease, entitled Resident Evil Zero HD, is out now for PlayStation 4 (reviewed), PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. These platforms allow for RE Zero to have upgraded graphics, widescreen support, and overall better sound, and they do a great job of reviving a nearly 15-year-old game that otherwise would’ve looked out of date. You can also now choose to use the classic tank-style controls (where you have to separately push up, left, right, and down to move) or an alternative, modern control scheme that lets you freely move in the direction you push on the analog stick.
