Resident Evil was first released in March 1996 and saw critical acclaim for its experimental approach to games design, utilising a mixture of 3D animations alongside more traditional FMVs of the time. It was also one of the few games to include heavy use of voice acting. Game Informer would go on to describe Resident Evil as "one of the most important games of all time."[10] The game won the "Best PlayStation Game Overall" award at the 1997 Consumer's Choice awards.[11]
Reviews[]
The PlayStation game was a best seller in North America. The game received positive reviews from critics. GameSpot praised the game, describing it as "one of those rare games that's almost as entertaining to watch as it is to play".[2] On the other hand, Computer Gaming World gave a more mixed review for the PC version in explaining that they "tried to hate it with its graphic violence, rampant sexism, poor voice acting and use of every horror cliché however...it's actually fun."[12] In total, according to Capcom's Investor Relations website, the original Resident Evil has sold 2,750,000 units. The Director's Cut version, including the Dual Shock edition, sold an additional 2.33 million copies.[13] It was also a bestseller in the UK,[14]
The original game was put into the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008 for the "Worst Game Dialogue Ever".[citation needed]
