Alright guys,
I have read mixed reviews on the game. IGN gave the game a massive 9.0 which is a great score and I have also completed it and thought it was great (apart from the ending). But I still hear people saying 'I hate the controls'. Aren't these basically the same controls from the award winning RE4? And why didn't everyone complain about the controls then? People start to bug me on the subject.
As for the games storyline, when I seen the trailer I thought this games storyline was going to wipe the floor with all the other RE games in the franchise but it didn't live up to me expectations. The game revolves around Chris/Wesker/Jill with Sheva and Irvine as side cast. I just didn't enjoy the storyline as much as I thought I would. The fact that Jill has died but later on we find she is still alive slightly kills the storyline in my opinion. After this, I thought someone should have taken a fall apart from Wesker, maybe Sheva, although she was a good characters I thought the story had to be slightly twisted. It makes the game more realistic and emotional, which is a key element. Although I thoughht the game was good, I thought the ending was poor. I enjoyed everything up until Chris/Wesker/Sheva ended up in a VOLCANO! I just thought I wouldn't expect this type of scene is a very realistic RE game. My favorite scene was the return of the lickers and also noticed that they looked very much similar to the lickers in the motion picture film Resident Evil, compared to RE2's lickers. One thing I will say that impressed me greatly on this game was the movie like cutscenes. Very good.
After the game, it was good to see The Mercenaries back in action, this time with eight different levels! and four different characters with alterate attires! This really made me happy. One thing that didn't was the lack of a small sidestory to play. Last year we got Ada's Assingment, where she succesfully collected the Las Plagas sample for Wesker and also finally killed Jack Krauser. I thought if we would be getting a sidestory it would be Jill under control of Wesker and wearing the 'Birdlady' outfit, but we didnt get it. Although, Capcom have announced that there are DLC's coming out so hopefully we eventually get a sidestory DLC.
Anyways, I will rate the game a 9/10. Didn't like the ending but the rest of the game was fine. I think its safe to say that RE has evolved into another type of game, parting its way from the once Survival Horror genre.
What do you think about the game? Please tell me what you think as I am curious to see what all the fans think.
Thanks.
