Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games!

Resident Evil Code Veronica X for PlayStation 2
Resident Evil Code Veronica X for the PlayStation 2 is a survival horror adventure centered on Claire and Chris Redfield. Claire searches for her brother and ends up in an island complex controlled by Umbrella. You explore buildings, read documents and try to work out how to reach sealed-off areas. The story follows on from Resident Evil 2 and gives the Redfield family a major role in the events surrounding Umbrella.
You collect keys and other puzzle items, manage ammunition and decide how many healing supplies to carry. Limited inventory space means thinking ahead before leaving an item box behind. Sometimes avoiding an enemy is wiser than using rounds you may need later. Saving requires ink ribbons at typewriters, so choosing when to record your progress is also part of your planning.
The environments consist of three-dimensional spaces shown from selected camera angles. In certain places the camera can move to reveal more of a passage. Your controls follow the direction the character is facing, even when the view changes. The campaign is for one player and rewards attention to maps, discovered clues and earlier routes. Returning to familiar rooms is part of gradually opening up the complex.

The history of Resident Evil Code Veronica X
Resident Evil Code Veronica X arrived on PlayStation 2 in 2001. Capcom built on Code Veronica, released for Sega Dreamcast in 2000. The X edition added scenes to the existing story and brought Claire and Chris Redfield to a new console audience. This PS2 game belongs to the original releases and is not the later HD version. Three-dimensional buildings, selected camera angles and limited supplies remained the basis of the adventure.
An important step in the original Code Veronica was its use of fully three-dimensional environments. Earlier installments used pre-rendered backgrounds. The familiar chosen camera angles remained, but could now move within the space. At the same time, the design retained the exploration, limited supplies and puzzle structure of older Resident Evil games. The new presentation primarily changed how you saw the environment.
The storyline continued Claire’s search from Resident Evil 2 and connected it with Chris. The additional scenes in the X edition developed events and the roles of familiar characters. On PlayStation 2, this chapter sat alongside other approaches to horror and action, while Capcom retained the classic inventory and puzzle routes. The game therefore shows how the series moved to fully three-dimensional spaces without abandoning investigation, backtracking and careful use of items.
