Review
Ok don't ask me what happened to Parasite Eve the first game, either the Japanese decided we weren't getting it over here, or some annoying (please note the lack of abusive language) Sensor decided it was to gruesome to release over here.
Parasite Eve II is a game that is very similar to the Resident Evil series, though it was created by Sqaresoft, not CapCom.
Rather than some sort of virus created by humans reeking havoc and causing people to turn into zombies. It is some sort of parasitic gene that was already present in the human body that has awakened and is causing people to change into evil monsters.
You get to play the part of Aya Brea, an FBI agent who gets to investigate all the incidents of people turning into monsters.
The monsters seem intent on doing something, its not very clear yet just what that is but they will probably do it before the game ends.
Overall the game is a lot of fun, you get a variety of weapons to use, from shotguns to machine guns and can even buy new ones using the bounty points you get for killing each monster.
In addition to this you can also use magic to fight with as well, this can range from offensive spells such as fireballs to defensive spells such as heal and shielding. In the true Squaresoft style you slowly build up your magical powers from scratch rather than having a whole load of them to use at the start.
The graphics for the game have been really well done and include some rather spectacular backgrounds (well for the playstation at any rate), though they could have worked more on the appearance of the characters.
So if you are looking for a game that is similar to Resident Evil, but with a new twist then this is it.
