Exploring the mansion is handled in third-person with fixed camera angles, and in addition to dodging zombies, you need to solve obscure puzzles and track down a frankly alarming number of different keys to different doors. Which is to say: This is one convoluted-as-hell bit of architecture.

The layout of the mansion and its devious puzzles are (as far as my memory can tell) identical to the GameCube version.

Whichever protagonist you choose, you soon end up separated from the rest of your crew, exploring the deadly mansion and fighting a growing legion of undead monsters. At the beginning of Resident Evil, players take on the role of either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, members of a police task force sent to investigate a series of murders at a huge mansion on the outskirts of Raccoon City.
