In a way, there is no definitive version of Resident Evil 2 which version is the best is down to personal preference. No two versions are exactly the same, as there are some differences in all of them. Specifically, two versions exist on the PlayStation, two on Windows PCs, and one each on the Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube. The second game in the series, Resident Evil 2, was originally released on the PlayStation in 1998, and its popularity surpassed the original's thanks to the presence of ports on many subsequent platforms. Launched in 1996 for the original PlayStation, the series quickly became Capcom's most popular series, spanning multiple games on multiple systems from the original PlayStation to the Nintendo GameCube.
