8.19 - On the Road to Friendship
11 Days.

Resident Evil 2 - Extreme Battle Mode: This mode is actually pretty tough. The game is broken down into 3 stages: 1. The Lab, 2. Factory & Sewers, 3. Police Station. It essentially goes in reverse order of the main game. Saving is allowed, although, the limit is 5 saves. This mode is available after the main game is completed, but this mode appears in the PS1 Dual Shock Version, and was not available in the original RE2.

I completed a run with Leon already, although, I had my troubles with certain areas, mainly due to the fact that there are higher enemy counts than the normal game, and, I try my best to conserve ammo for the later portions. That is my play style anyway, to avoid as many encounters as possible, and of course, that meant a lot of deaths too. Although, the flip side, was the ability to be more aggressive with fighting enemies.

Completing a run of the game did unlock an extra character, Ada, and I'm about half way through that run currently. It's not quite as easy, considering the main weapon list is a bit less geared towards offensive strength. Leon begins the mode with a handgun, shotgun and magnum, while Ada gets the Machine Gun, revolver handgun, and a bow gun. The revolver handgun only holds 6 rounds, and reload speed is kinda slow, so it does help to pay attention to shots fired, and reload manually in the inventory screen, otherwise, it's easy to end up getting hit by faster enemies, and if the reload animation is not completely finished, the game makes the weapon reload completely fail.
