I have all four REs. I\'d place em in this order.
#1: RE2. Had the coolest weapons, and the most replayability.
#2: RE1. The scariest of the bunch, the worse voiceacting is what keeps me from rating it #1. No extras.
#3: RE:CV. Maybe because I\'ve been through RE games too many times, but RE:CV just didnt ever scare me.
#4: RE3. This was better for times when I\'d use the gameshark and just go around looking to kill stuff, but compared to the other RE games, it just wasn\'t scary at all.
Psst... Silent Hill rules \'em all:D
