That's quite hard to quantify - but IMO RE2 was the best.
The original RE had a GREAT atmosphere, the game is still great to play,
and it has a certain "quality".
RE2 followed up that quality in a good fashion by adding action, which
is quite good IMO because it follows the film/any good series by going
from a set mood, to up-beat action.
RE3 ruined it a little, because it was supposed to be suspense (I guess)
and it wasn't. It was a laid-back point and shoot, follow the dotted
lines game.
RE:CV I only watched being played, but I suppose it's OK, it was a start
onto RE0, REmake and RE4 by shifting the series into a darker area -
which I'm all for... It's kind of like when the guy comes out the
shadows at the end of a film, takes it deeper than expected.
RE:CV didn't do this justice though - it didn't go, "deep" enough, and
also went a bit off-the-wall bringing Wesker back.
Now as for RE4, I was going over the E3 footage of Leon going through
the mansion, etc.. I still think that would have been an EXCELLENT game,
moving the series deeper and "darker".
Guess we'll have to wait... Perhaps after RE4 we'll get the two-tone
game, where it starts off nice and breezy and then gets into an
action-horror, or something like that!
