Personally, I've never found any RE games very challenging unless playing on the hardest difficulty but I found RE5 to be the easiest out of all of them.

RE2 was incredibly easy. Even the original was harder! But I thought the 4th Survivor was a fairly tough mini game, until I learned the secret to getting by each room effortlessly.

Never beat Tofu Survivor, except the once as I recall. I would not say that was easy. All you had was like 2 green herbs, 1 blue one and a shitty knife, but at least Tofu did not go down all that early.

Yea but for the game to have replay value i suggest setting up challenges or stipulations to keep it fresh, i do crazy runs all the time just to see if i can do it,
RE2 Knife only
RE2 no saves no FAS
RE2 No damage no saves etc

just think of shit that makes it harder and it gives it more play value for real

The game was pretty easy, compared to every other game I've played. The only things I find hard is level 2 of extreme battle (playing as Ada) and fourth survivor (which I haven't beaten yet)

I think people need to try out Nightmare mode in the Dreamcast version. Adds a pretty decent challenge.

^ I wish they had that mode in the GCN version. I wonder why they left it out?

They didn't end up porting that version over to the GC.

Which was a good thing. Extras and full screen CG aside, backgrounds' resolution and audio were inferior to the PSX original. Overall, you can say the GC game is best in the sense that you can skip the cutscenes.

You can also play nightmare mode on the PC version ;) its freakin awesome

I remember when I first bought it I think I was maybe 12 i think I beat Leon's campaign in under 6 hours or something like that it was a little easier than the others but its still a very awesome game and still my favorite after all this time
