Resident Evil 2 (Game.com)

Following the release of the original PlayStation edition Resident Evil 2 in January 1998, Tiger Electronics released a sprite-based 2.5D version for their Game.com handheld in late 1998. It included only Leon Kennedy's story path, and removed several of the original game's core features.

Gameplay
Despite the severe technical limitations of the system / having had to have been built from the ground up, the game does manage to retain many of the original screens and puzzles from the game (albeit in a completely re-drawn, monochrome color form).

Perhaps the most noticeable feature missing from the game is any semblance of a story past the intro slideshow (which recounts the events of the original Resident Evil). No attempt is made to recreate any of the cutscenes in the game, either the FMVs or the conversations between characters. Without a previous knowledge of the events of the full game, players are left with little context for their actions or a sense of what location they are in.

==Further Notes== All in all, while the efforts to port the game to the underpowered handheld are technically impressive for the console (similar to the case of the Game Boy Color remake of the original Resident Evil), it leaves for a game which only vaguely resembles the original. Like many Game.com games, critics were harsh in their reviews of it, and no other entries in the series were ever planned to be ported to the system again.
