This limits the replay factor somewhat compared to Resident Evil 1 and 2, but this is an aside. Unlike previous entries in the series, the game only offers one path through the myriad of mazes.

That, in and of itself, does not make it a perfect game, but it is oh so very close. It is also of substantially better quality than just about anything that the rest of the video game industry has cranked out lately. Longer than Titanic, longer than The Godfather Part II, this is one piece of televisual entertainment that you cannot easily get tired of. Not that this is much of a factor where Code Veronica is concerned. Another contributing factor to the replay value is that Capcom, in their infinite wisdom, decided that between a shorter game and one that makes the player feel as if there is no way to win, the shorter game is preferable.

As a result, the replay value, while not as great as some other games, is incredible. Although certain items have to be found before other areas can be explored, that's literally the extent of linearity in this game. Resident Evil is one of the most popular video game series of all time for a number of reasons, not least among which is the somewhat non-linear structure of play.
