This is the kind of game that is amazing, except for those few faults that drive you insane.
Story: The fact that this is a Resident Evil game should cue you to the very nature of the story. BUT WAIT! There are no zombies in this game! That's right, no mutilated corpses chasing after you. Now you have some spaniards who honestly look like they havent bathed in a few years chasing after you. The story is actually more intriguing than the games before it in my opinion, but thats just me. What really surprised me is that some of the voice acting didnt make me want to hurl. Sorry guys, but no "Jill sandwich" worthy line can be found in this game.
Gameplay: Okay, so this is where it gets tough. I have to say that many of the aspects of this game make it quite a bit of fun. You get to pop enemies in the knees, head, and other parts of their body to watch them fall over. Yes thats right, you get to shoot less priveledged people and then proceed to laugh at them...until their chainsaw happy friend finds you. However, there are some annoying quirks to the gameplay that I just cannot understand. First of all, the game obviously follows standard action routes, but following a traditional (lets limit your ammo) game mechanic. They either should have made it less like an action title or given us more ammo. If it means stronger enemies, then great, but let me shoot them instead of trying to knife groups of 10! That is my next point. If you want to me to conserve ammo, then for the love of whatever god you believe in, dont pit me up against groups of 3-7 enemies. While I try to knife a few of em, the rest will shove sickles up my butt. Not a fun time. Lastly, if you are going to limit ammo, dont make it essentially mandatory that we kill every enemy we see. Let us pick our battles like in previous games. Honestly, these few gameplay faults can really get on your nerves after a while.
Graphics: Graphically, this game is pretty good. You get some great varying environments, all of which are atmospheric and creepy, and each with their own style. You arent going to be running through generic gray corridors in this game. The enemies also look pretty good, and the bosses are absolutely disgusting. Great graphics really do compliment this game, thats for sure.
Overall: This is the kind of game that you really want to love, but find that you just cant. It just has a few gameplay faults that keep you from devoting yourself to it, and for that reason, I just cant recommend this game to everyone. If you like situations where you really have to conserve ammo despite having groups of foes to kill, then this game is for you. However, if you think that having to kill loads of enemies with limited ammo sound annoying, then you are probably best avoiding this title.
