Three months after escaping Raccoon City, Claire Redfield is captured while searching for her brother Chris and dumped in a prison on Rockfort Island, an Umbrella facility that is overrun the moment she arrives. Released as a Dreamcast exclusive in 2000, Code: Veronica was the first main Resident Evil built with real-time 3D environments instead of pre-rendered backdrops, so the camera can pan and follow players through rooms.
The story is the series' most theatrical: the eccentric twins Alfred and Alexia Ashford, fellow prisoner Steve Burnside and the return of Albert Wesker all figure into it, and the action moves from the island to an Antarctic base, with control switching to Chris for the second half. It is also long and unforgiving. Ink ribbons limit saves, and items left in storage boxes or spent too early can leave players badly short of ammunition in the later chapters. An expanded edition, Code: Veronica X, followed on PlayStation 2.
Tips for Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Hold back strong ammunition for the boss fights; the Tyrant on the cargo plane catches many players underprepared.
Item boxes are linked, so anything Claire stores is available from other boxes later in the game.
Beating the game unlocks the Battle Game mode, a timed run through rooms full of enemies.
