• of the Resident Evil games that preceded it - unnecessary.
  • Changed
• However, unlike the horror "fun house" feeling of its predecessors - people who are not familiar with the Resident Evil franchise may not know what this is at all. You should save it for the development section.
  • OK, reworded this part
• Critics drew heavy comparisons to Resident Evil, with some describing it as Resident Evil mixed with Jurassic Park, and "Resident Evil with dinosaurs." - "mixed with Jurassic Park" and "mixed with dinosaurs" are the same thing. You should mention only one of them in the lead, while have another mentioned in the reception section.
  • Fixed
• push/climb objects, and perform a 180-degree turn - don't use slash. Climbing and pushing objects are not the same.
  • now "push and climb"
• Save points are rooms which will prompt the player to save upon exiting them - A bit unclear. How they prompt players to save?
  • There are some rooms that when you go to exit through any door, text will appear asking the player if they'd like to save. I'm not sure how I should word this without getting too wordy.
• Sometimes "DANGER" may flash on the screen, at which point the player should push all the controller buttons as rapidly as possible to survive. - When will "DANGER" scene occurs?
  • added "in perilous situations", it varies
• Med Paks can be used to heal Regina's health. - "packs". You call this health packs in the second paragraph. For consistency you should either change this to health packs or change the one in the second paragraph to med packs.
  • I changed the earlier "health packs" to "medical supplies". The game calls the items "Med Paks" so that's why it's spelled this way.
• although the number of Continues is limited to five - What happen afterwards?
  • Game Over. Reworded.
• It can also be achieved by going after Kirk, but first finding the helicopter. - Shouldn't really teller readers how they can reach this ending
  • Removed
• Mikami chose a real-time engine to challenge the theories of real-time backgrounds - What does this even mean?
  • That's all it said in the source. Since this isn't very clear, I removed it.
• lions, tigers, and other carnivores that are not afraid of humans or weapons - "or weapons" is sort of unnecessary. I don't see any animals not frightened by weapons.
  • Removed
• The dinosaur animations and cries also did not turn out as he originally envisioned them. - Does the source mention what he had expected?
  • No, what he means is no one knows truly how dinosaurs moved and sounded. What ended up in the game was not what he originally predicted. For better or for worse? Not sure. The info is in the same paragraph discussing how Mikami had to "scale down his ambitions" for the title, and had to "scale down" the dinosaur AI. But it doesn't necessarily say they scaled down the dinosaur animation/cries.
• The number of dinosaurs in the North American version was increased from the Japanese version - Number of dinosaurs types or number of dinosaurs players encounter?
  • Species types remained the same, clarified.
• develop Resident Evil Gaiden for the system instead, possibly using assets from the cancelled game Seems like it is only the writer's speculation instead of truth.
  • Removed "possibly using assets from the cancelled game"
• Critics were quick to compare - don't need "were quick to"
  • Removed
• GamePro found the game to have "an excellent mix of action and strategy," with dinosaur AI that "keeps the action fresh and exciting. - Can paraphrase this quote, the same goes for the Game Revolution paragraph.
  • Reworded those sections
• On the Dreamcast, Resident Evil - Code: Veronica was viewed as the superior survival horror experience - You should associate Veronica to this game, or else this shouldn't be mentioned.
  • Associate in relation to Dino Crisis? Added "another Capcom survival horror game"
• I suggest you to use the multi-platform template:video game reviews instead.
  • Done
• The article is missing a legacy section. All the spin-offs and sequels should be mentioned there.
  • Added
