In my mind RE2 is one of the best games around, and while there are elements of 1.5 I would've liked to have seen in place of some of what we ultimately got, I think (based on the story elements I'm aware of) RE 1.5 would've been a lesser sequel, especially in terms of character development and story progression. No offense, but I'd take Claire over Elza any day.
