The location in the "A" scenario.

Upon starting the game, before the area loads the following message is displayed;

"They were parted by an unescapable destiny.
This is just the beginning of their worst nightmare."

In the original PlayStation version of the game there are six zombies will appear on the street as a standard, with a seventh only appearing near the gun shop if those six have not been killed.[1] They can realistically be dodged.

There are no items to collect in this room and the next room is the Gun shop.

There are a total of 32 zombies in this area, the only shootable objects are the lights on the streets, which can drop gold.

Further notes[]

  • In Resident Evil 2, a visible street sign at the intersection of the crash shows that the street was originally named "Raccoon St." instead.
  • Japanese versions of the game display the prologues in English.
  • Some versions of the game do not feature the game prologue. On disc versions of the game, the prologue was put in place to mask the room loading time. It is possible that it was removed in non-disc versions due to the advanced loading speed on cartridges and hard drives.
