'''Resident Evil 2''' (called Biohazard 2 in Japan) is a | '''Resident Evil 2''' (called Biohazard 2 in Japan) is a [[survival horror]] video game released by [[Capcom]] on [[January 21]], [[1998]] (in North America) for the [[PlayStation]]. It is the sequel to the highly popular [[Resident Evil]] and was later ported to [[Windows 9x]], [[Nintendo 64]], [[Sega Dreamcast]], [[GameCube]], and [[Game.com]] (a Dual Shock version was also released for the PlayStation). Several changes occured from its predecessor, as the player now has the chance to play as two characters (Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield) with much more noticeable differences (such as the characters having exclusive weapon sets) as well as two different scenarios for both of them. Both characters have eight inventory slots each, as well as the ability to show physical damage (such as a character limping when hurt). The player can also quickly push away enemies when grabbed, leading to a much easier title than the first. | ||
Originally Capcom showed the game at Tokyo Game Show 1996, which featured many differences from the current release. The game was supposed to have Leon S. Kennedy and Elza Walker, a college student and motorcyclist (who was eventually replaced by Claire Redfield) and take place in a large urban setting. Capcom was nearly seventy percent through the development process, but scrapped the entire project in 1997 as they were dissatisfied with the game. They then began to re-work the game and Resident Evil 2 was released a year later. | Originally Capcom showed the game at Tokyo Game Show 1996, which featured many differences from the current release.
