So damn close to a 10, but a few issues...

I should probably write this review after I finish the game, but I have such a good feeling about this game I had to write it now.When I first played the demo I HATED IT! It just didn't feel right. I had been playing Gears of War 2 non-stop and maybe I wanted it to be Gears of War 2. I was totally frustrated Capcom didn't allow you to move and shoot in this iteration. Well, one chapter into the game and I forgot all about moving and shooting (until RE6 of course). I love the story, love the characters, love the item gathering and love the action.

I know there was some controversy about Africa being the setting, but my thoughts are everyone is zombie material. If all men/women are truly equal, then all men/women can become zombies. Hopefully, that last sentence didn't give you the dumb chills.

What I would like to see in RE6? Shooting and moving. I know the reason you can't is because it build terror, but you can accomplish the same thing while being able to move. Look at Dead Space. Another survival horror game, but has updated controls which don't diminish the experience. I would also like to see a smarter AI partner who doesn't waste so many bullets.

Pick this game up. It is a winner.
