Dont believe the poor reviews, this game is great.
This game is a step up from resident evil 5 and at the moment im lovin' the game, I suggest if you want to believe crappy reviwers then you should try before you buy, otherwise take my review, a gamer, not a pen pusher and go out and buy it, you wont be disappointed. 9.5 should be the score, not 4.5 from someone who dont know what they are talking about.
We all love resident evil 1 and 2 and maybe capcom will do a remake of those in that formula, the residents evils have moved on from number 3 with number 4 based more on action, as with number 5 and now number 6.
Resident evil 6 is a must buy if you liked number 4 and 5.
If you're unsure, hire it out first, but this is a cool game and it deserves a higher rating that it has been given, im quite shocked what gamespot has given in my opinion.
