A video game that has been successful in being fun, entertaining, as well as scary is no other than Resident Evil. In the Resident Evil series, the origins of the zombie infected and mutated creatures are created by scientists that work for a big corporation called Umbrella. The Umbrella Corporation executed scientific experiments on humans, rats as well as other animals. The experimentation transformed the victims into monstrous blood thirsty creatures that eventually were unleashed into the world. The creatures were affected with different viruses, some being T- Virus and G-Virus. As the main character you walk through hell on Earth, watching your back for the blood thirsty creatures, not knowing if one is going to jump out on you. You can either play in third person which is over the shoulder. However, playing in first person immerses you more into the game because the zombie creatures are coming right at you. Resident Evil on the Wii is more interactive and immersive because it is played in first person. You do the all the actions to fight the zombies and dogs, and creatures off. When the creatures pop out of nowhere it dramatizes the game and makes it more heart-pounding and terrifying. When designing a video game that is meant to be terrifying you have to take some things into consideration. First you have to think of what scares people the most and will catch the audience’s attention to make them want to play the game. You also have to know what type of audience your game is geared towards and the regulations. Another thing to think about is what types of characters will interest the audience. Also what makes a game so immersive a player will not want to put the game down. Resident Evil is a game that has been a success in every possible feature necessary.
