I liked the zombies more than the plagas. I thought they were creepier, and I am simply obsessed with zombies. I haven't played as HUNK in REUC, but I actually preferred playing HUNK's minigame on RE4 mercs than RE2's 4'th survivor. It has more of a mission feel then the 4'th survivor did, in which case you are desperate to escape alive. Though, in the 4'th survivor, I think it involved more thought and strategy. I wouldn't mind seeing a subtle blend of both, combining lateral thinking and gut-wrenching violence.
HUNK is, of course, my favorite character. Chris is my second, I like his sense of Moral and his background in the air force and then the STARS team. Who're your favorites and why?
