RPD Dispatch 2 - Playing RE2

I believe with the Hunk mission you actually get a ranking on the gamecube version. I'm not sure what other versions have it but I sure that the original ps1 version did not.

The original tofu mission also didn't have a timer and ranking. I'm not sure about the GCN. The Dreamcast version does.

The new results screens are nice. Tofu's is especially worth a look.

It's Hunk, eating a bowl of tofu

Well darn, that confirms it ;( No gallery and sketches for this version. What a shame :|

I beat the final Claire B to unlock the weapons I think I might do one ClaireA/LeonB in order to get the special weapons there as well. Just incase someone only likes ClaireA/LeonB for special weapons But Im going to move onto the EX Battle's, and the Tofu/Hunk missions ;)

Does anything unlock after beating those two things?

Tofu/Hunk finishes get you nothing, sad I know.

The EX battle's get unlockables depending on the level, after EX 3 there isn't anything. As far as I know.

tofu is the end of it, im pretty sure about that.

Can someone with the dual shock version (psone) tell me if you need to create separate save files for the EX Battle modes and the Hunk/Tofu missions?

You do.

Can someone with the dual shock version (psone) tell me if you need to create separate save files for the EX Battle modes and the Hunk/Tofu missions? I'm willing to bet that this version is a port of the psone one, rather than the Dreamcast/PC. I'm not seeing any options for the gallery and Hunk/EX battle aren't on the menu, they are loaded from saves.

[Dot50Cal]

Ah, thats basically how you get an A rank then.

[Skunky]

That's some pretty fast times you done there, Dot!

The Bio2 versions are actually very easy to get the S rank (it's almost hard not to get an S rank). I've gotten several by finishing under 2.30, only using herbs and saving 2 or 3 times (ps1 version, normal difficulty).

[Dot50Cal]

Gah! I finished within 5 seconds of my previous time for Leon A, and I screwed up in different ways, lol. Weird! Claire B will be the final run tomorrow ;)

[Enigma_632]

naaw, S rank is basically the equivalent of the A rank in the Jp version.

a knife run is quiet possible though .. this guy made a video of it .. scroll down the page a bit ...

Seen that video before, cool to see it again though.

If I remember correctly the JP and everywhere else is diiferent.

JP Others

S A
A B
B C

And so forth. Theres other rankings but you get the general idea.

I've found three different ways to get an S Rank in the US version. I'm not sure if any are real, but the knife one sounds impossible.

S Rank: Beat the game in 1:30. Use only One herb. don't use any weapon upgrades, no special weapons (like the R. Launcer) and don't pick a weapon up more than one time, like if you pick up the shot gun from the weapon owner, don't go and get it on the police station.

Launcer) and don't pick a weapon up more than one time, like if you pick up the shot gun from the weapon owner, don't go and get it on the police station. Only use the Magnum or the Shotgun, not both.

S Rank: Beat the game in 1:30. Use only One herb. Use only the Knife, and don't pick a weapon up more than one time, like if you pick up the shot gun from the weapon owner, don't go and get it on the police station.

I beat Claire B after a few screw ups. The main one being that I forgot to get the crank in the basement of the RPD. Doh. But I still managed to get the gatling gun ;) Two more and I have Tofu! Then I can check out the Easy mode and the Arrange Rookie mode.

I just finished Leon A with the first-release NTSC-UC Resident Evil 2, with a time of 2:34, and six saves. The ranking was B.

Hope this helps!
