Holy googly moogly! I finished the train in RE0, but that had one really bizarre puzzle involving entering a series of numbers into a control panel so they'd add up to a shown number. You had to do this twice within a strict time limit, too. Crawl, being the human calculator that he is, quickly helped me work out the solutions.

But then after I finished that part, I immediately got killed off by a group of zombies that came off the stopped train. So I had to that all over again. This time, I planned a much better strategy. I spread some healing sprays around the different train cars so that Billy could pick them up and heal along the way to the control panel where you have to enter the code. I also traded more gun ammo from Rebecca to him so that he wouldn't run out again (which is why he died fighting the zombies before.) But when I had to do the number-adding part again, the target number changed! Geez! I can't think under pressure like that. I'm glad Crawl was here.

So, now I'm in the Umbrella Corp. mansion. Got attacked by a bunch of crows and found a crank handle.

This game's plot is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile. The villain is a guy dressed in a night gown who killed the president(?) of Umbrella Corp, brags about it to the authorities(?) for no apparent reason, and then sings opera to control a bunch of monsters.

I'm still not used to this game's controls. But this reminds me of something - I guess in an effort to make it feel more like a survival horror game, Koudelka had RE-style controls. That was the first game I ever played that had that control scheme, and in the very first room, I got Koudelka stuck against the bottom wall and I couldn't get her to walk away from it. I was like that for about 10 minutes. It was great.
