Resident Evil 6 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

This is the worst Resident Evil game I've every played and I've played almost all of them.

Like Resident Evil 4 and 5, this game is designed more like an action game. Resident Evil 6 takes that style much further but fails to provide sufficient ammunition to sustain that style of game play for more than a few minutes.

Ammunition goes fast because the zombies can take a beating and there isn't much of it out there. That alone makes the game feel way out of balance and empty. The lack of ammunition takes away the fun. I actually switched the game to unlimited ammunition but that option didn't work.

To make matters worse, the controls are clumsy and awkward. I won't bother explaining why, it just is.

The A.I. isn't bad but I wasn't impressed either. Having a companion felt unnatural. I would've rather been alone.

It's also easy to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I got hit by a train many times and died for reasons that weren't my fault. It wasn't about skill. I simply should not have been in the trains pathway or should have know to hold down the buttons that were on the screen instead of pressing them. I also got hit with cars out of nowhere. I guess that was punishment for running away from zombies while trying to ration my ammunition. Again, I was hit by a car, not because I lacked skill, but because I was trying to run in a certain direction.

If you run out of ammunition you can punch, kick, and stomp zombies. But you'll often end up kicking the air while being abused by another zombie. Again, the controls are clumsy.

The save system is horrible. Sometimes I was set back 20 minutes or more when I decided to continue playing the campaign.

Like the first Resident Evil, this game uses herbs as a healing system. Herbs don't fit the style and theme of Resident Evil 6 so picking them up and using them feels strange.

This is simply an awkward game. It's unpolished and clumsy. Capcom should be ashamed for releasing such an unfinis

After reading many reviews (not restricted to this site) I realize that this game is getting a lot of flack. I have been a Resident Evil fan since the T-virus was isolated to a little town called Raccoon City. I have always been a fan of the survival horror genre and I have RE to thank for that.

Having said this, I will say that every game after Resident Evil 3 has gotten farther away from that familiar city, and simultaneously farther away from that genre as well. However, despite that fact, it still does a remarkable job of using the same characters and continues the basic story threads that I fell in love with in the originals.

So, I say, take this game for what it is, a third person action shooter (among the ranks of Gears of War, Army of Two) made by a group that must have stopped to watch every Michael Bay movie ever, and let that inspire the way they crafted the game.

If you are a RE fan, DO NOT pass up this game because it is technically "not like the original." Instead, play it for the pretty good action game it is, as well as, the furthering of the RE universe narrative.
