For fans of Resident Evil it is obvious that the horror element is nearly gone from this series. It is trying to go the way of an action series now.
Sadly the game fails at this and it is not just a simple fail. But an epic, glaring, red hot poker in the eye kind of fail.
The controls are VERY rigid and hinders the gameplay. Storytelling is weak since you are thrown in and have to "unlock" items to the go back to read about story.
One strong point of this game is the graphics. They are incredible. If the controls and storytelling were better this very well could been one amazing game.
Sadly, the flaws are too great with this game to really bring it back (pardon the pun) from its slow and fustrating death.
Unless you are a hardcore Res Evil fan this game is only worth even trying if there is nothing left to play. Honestly, hardcore Res Evil fans may be forced to admit the flaws are too much.
File this game in the coulda, woulda, shoulda been great category.
