Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil Zero is a 2002 survival horror game developed and published by Capcom for the GameCube. It is a prequel to Resident Evil (2002), following S.T.A.R.S. officer Rebecca Chambers and convict Billy Coen as they explore an abandoned training facility for employees of the pharmaceutical company Umbrella in the outskirts of Raccoon City. The gameplay is similar to other Resident Evil games, but adds the ability to switch between characters to solve puzzles and use unique abilities.

Where Resident Evil Zero sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Resident Evil Zero lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 63ahead of 16% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 47ahead of 85% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Resident Evil Zero
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
