In 1999, British magazine "Arcade" spotlighted Regina in the "Virtual Fox" series of articles, noting that "strangely, for a post-Lara game girl, she's not so buxom" and instead she presents the same "kind of lithe class" as Jill, and declaring that "one thing's certain - Capcom has created another female lead to die for." That same year, "Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine" commented: "Despite her best efforts, Regina can't dislodge her rival Jill Valentine from the number-one spot." Reviewing "Dino Crisis" in 2000, IGN staff found a strong point of the game "in the form of Regina, a strong-willed, red-haired leader of the elite task force that forms the foundation of the game," despite how they have "seen her type a million times over the last few years, and the slack voice-acting." Peter Olafson from "The New York Times" wrote an article to tell how he cared for the "sweet, relatively normal Regina" in the game because he felt she was "not a clone of Ms. Croft or the other heavily armed fashion models that populate PC games. There flows from her a sense of relative normalcy. She is capable but vulnerable. Her dimensions, too, are relatively normal, even if her wardrobe, shamefully, is not." In 2001, Brazil's "Supergamepower" chose Regina as one of the twelve "muses" of console gaming, alongside Jill and Lara among others. Years later, Ryan Reynolds from XBLA Fans wrote about Regina's "hot biker chick" looks and costume: "Characters like Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker are loved now, but at the time of "Resident Evil"s release, they weren’t anything special. Regina on the other hand, is far from generic. In today’s world of gritty protagonists, Regina is a breath of fresh air." Retrospectively, GamesRadar's David Meikleham listed this "red-haired vixen comfortable looking hot in 32-bit leather chic" as one of the seven "kick-ass" 1990s game characters who have vanished since, opining that while her series did not repeat the success of "Resident Evil", "Regina was a strong lead. A T-rex-taming sensation, she made Jill Valentine and the rest of S.T.A.R.S. look feeble."
