I don't know why RE2 s***s so much, much more than completely 3D games, when it's captured from the original hardware.
When I play it on CRT and when I watch it on YouTube (or web screenshots), it seems another game.
In the screenshots the Mega posted, it looks much better than any YouTube video or screenshot I ever seen on the web.
By the way, if you want to have some good laughs, take a look to this video:

The video is made by "Lens of Truth", and it shows everything but the truth. Both PS1 and N64 versions are much better on CRT. I personally compared the video with the N64 version and in the video is noticeable much dark and much blurry.
What's the sense to make comparison of a game like that using not adequate technologies? I swear, in the video some details aren't visible at all, while in the CRT them are pretty clear.
I can understand a comparison of completely 3D games on YT. In that case you can, at least, compare the draw distance, spot frame rate issues, see which use more polys, if something is been cutted in order to stress less the hardware, etc.
By the way, yes JFG sounds are impressive.
Other N64 games with impressive sound quality are:
CBFD
Rogue Squadron
Battle for Naboo
Perfect Dark
