This walkthrough follows both Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield's story mode, detailing the six major areas of the game. The walkthrough will follow all six versions of Resident Evil, with each area of the game being split into smaller sections to either focus on a certain item or quest or to focus on a specific version of the game. Make sure you know the controls for the game first, because the control system may be confusing for some at first.
If you have the original Resident Evil, just select "New Game" to start right away. If you have the Director's Cut edition, either select "Original" (the original game), "Beginner" (still the original but much easier), or "Arranged" (a completely new story mode). For the Nintendo DS version, either select "Classic" mode (the original game) or "Rebirth" mode (a new single player experience). Once you start the game, you'll be asked to choose either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine.
