Which senario did you play?

Leon A/Clare B

Or

Clare A/Leon B

[Shimbo]

Claire A, Leon B just made more sense to me.

Damnit, last time i played this game i did the special arrange mode. What a complete letdown it was. Just ran through the game with infinite ammo basically. I was with a friend but what a (NOT!) blast we had. Only thing that was cool was that i hit -a couple of out of screen zombie(s)- headshots

We need to redo it this year.

Played Leon A, but next time we'll go with Claire A, Leon B

3. Differences Between Claire A/Leon B and Leon A/Claire B
by Dan Birlew
===========================================================

If you play the game in the opposite order, starting with Leon first, the plot is different in several respects:

1. Sherry keeps her pendant throughout the game. This means that Ada never obtains the pendant or the G-Virus sample it
contains. Also, Mr. X wants the G-Virus, so he goes after Sherry and Claire and not Leon and Ada.

2. Annette explains William's mutation and the cause of the outbreak to Ada, rather than to Claire. Claire finds Annette after Ada knocks her over the rail, and Annette falls unconscious soon afterwards.

3. Sherry is never impregnated with a G-Type embryo, so Claire doesn't have to create a G-Virus antidote. Thus, no mention of an antidote is heard.

4. Ben Bertolucci is impregnated by Birkin with a G-Type embryo that later bursts out of him. Why Birkin would implant him with this is never discussed or explained.

5. Chief Irons is ripped in half by Birkin.

6. Annette is fatally wounded when the G-Type pounds on the ceiling in the lab and drops a pipe on her head. Leon takes the G-Virus sample that she is holding.

7. Leon confronts Ada about being a spy. Annette, barely alive, shoots Ada. Leon's love falls over the rail into a deep chasm. Enraged, Leon tosses the G-Virus after her.

8. In the game's finales, Leon confronts the G-Type while Claire battles Mr. X. Likewise, while escaping from the RPD, Claire fights the G-Type embryo and Leon is attacked by Dr. Birkin.

9. In Claire's final confrontations with Mr. X, she lures him into the smelting pool by tossing Sherry's pendant with the G-Virus over the side. On the trainpower platform, Claire is aided in her battle against the mutated Mr. X by Ada. This provides a larger mystery than the previously explored scenario. How did Ada survive such a fall?

10. At the end of the closing movie, it is Claire instead of Leon who leads them off, saying, "Chris... I have to find you."

Perhaps the reasons why the previous plot summary focused on Claire A/ Leon B are now clear. The focus scenario is much
richer in plot and explanations. There is not as great a leap of faith required to believe that Ada still lives.
