Unlockable: Rocket Launcher

Remember the Rocket Launcher? To use this ultra-powerful weapon, you have to beat the game once with Chris or Jill in less than three hours in Normal or Hard mode. It's tough, but it can be done. Once you've completed the game (don't forget to save!), you can start a new one with the Rocket Launcher to really kick some zombie ass.

Hint: Grenade Launcher Glitch

This glitch only works with Jill. Equip the Grenade Launcher in the first slot (upper-most left) and then go to any item box. Select any grenade ammo in an item box slot that is different than the grenade type loaded in the Grenade Launcher. Next, attempt to place the grenade ammo from the item box into Jill's inventory; instead of "swapping items" the Grenade Launcher will swap ammunition instead.

Warning: After this glitch is done, you should divide your grenade ammo into the minimum nubmer of slots it needs (255 rounds per slot) to avoid corrupting your game data.

Unlockable: Hidden Costumes

Beat the game on different difficulty settings with either Chris or Jill to get the closet key. You will find it in your item box when you start a new game and you can use it to put on some sexy new costumes for Jill -- and to get some new duds for Chris at well. Each difficulty setting will get you different costumes, so be sure to play through the game multiple times to get it all.

First time Jill: Commando outfit
Second time Jill: Outfit from RE3: Nemesis
First time Chris: Casual gear
Second time Chris: Outfit from RE CODE: Veronica

Easter Egg: Tofu's Voice

In the secret lab, go to the computer where you enter the password to open the electrically locked doors. Type the username JOHN and the password ADA. Click the door that you need a password for. The normal password is CELL, but type MOLE instead. This is the password for the computer from the original Resident Evil. When you enter it, it will be denied, but you will hear the voice of Tofu, the secret character from Resident Evil 2.

Unlockable: Real Survival Mode

The hidden mode, Real Survival, is unlocked automatically when you beat the game with either Jill or Chris. Basically, it gets rid of the magical ability of the item box. So if you put an item into one item box, you can only take it out of the same one. No magical beaming. This makes the game a whole lot more difficult -- but also a lot more tedious.
