Chris is clearly the intended way to play the game and the one I play as 90% of the time. Jill is just boring, she plays like a Mary Sue. Everything just works for her and there's no tension, plus you have the strongest weapon in the game that isn't the rocket launcher just given to you at the start of the game. The extra inventory is nice I guess but completely unnecessary in the original, though in REmake it makes a much bigger difference that's a worse game overall anyways.
Speaking of REmake, god did they try to make playing as Chris as miserable as possible, the number one thing they fucked up was making the shotgun headshots semi-random. Shit is genuinely the gayest shit they could have done, but to amplify that they go ahead and add in a bunch of extra items you gotta tote around leaving you with a tight ass inventory. That's just the key items not even mentioning the stupid ass crimson heads.
So yeah Chris is the shit and easily the best character in not just RE1 but the whole franchise.
