How does it feel to finally work for the evil Umbrella Corporation?

It's a quite painful experience…..with no benefits.

  I rather be part of the undead horde then ever work for the Umbrella Corporation again, for starters they try too hard to sound evil and menacing. Like they just smoked a carton of cigarettes after straggling a baby. All the characters on my team, have names like Vector or Lupo, they all sound like some dumb kids XBL Gamertag. Don't get me started on their poor work ethic, they always get in the way when I'm shooting, never bring back their own team mates from death. Leaving me to bring them all back from death, I'm happy they know how to kill things especially when their own team mates become infected and try to attack them. 

   This game has to be better if you have real friends playing with you right? Yea good luck trying to find people to join you in story mode. I eventually left my room open hoping real people would come in and help me on these "evil missions". When people did finally join, the game did nothing to alert me, till I saw that one of the characters names over their heads had changed. This did nothing for me, only pissed me off when the dude that joined my game skipped a cut scene I hadn't seen! Like it mattered, the lack of story to this game from beginning to end is amazing. The game literally starts with no introduction to these characters, you just start the game off in a lab and follow Hunk around. This game just assumes you already know the Resident Evil 2 story but don't worry folks, this game heavily borrows from Call of Duty. You get a nice stylistic mission briefing before each level, evil voice included. 

  I see what Capcom was trying to do here with this crappy experiment they call a game. Trying to lure all those COD fans into the Resident Evil franchise with this game. Hey it might work, they got the shooting mechanics down okay, everything else….not so much. I literally found out how to dodge side ways, half way through the game. It's literally the dumbest way to do it, you click R3 and then the direction you want to dodge. Not that it really helps when your getting knocked to the ground over and over again by a Tyrant or Hunter. Every time something other then a zombie came onto my screen I wanted to kill myself. Soldier enemies are annoying bullet sponges, honestly anything other then a zombie, eats bullets like there's no tomorrow. Every time a boss battle started I wanted to know where the hell was the fun in this long tortures battle. Oh and you can take cover in this game but you can't vault over it, if your in a room full of crates. Prepare to fill like a retarded mouse in a maze, also don't worry about ever running out of ammo. This version of Raccoon City has ammo boxes and health every where. I guess that's why we had trouble finding ammo and health items in the past RE games, damn you Umbrella!

 

Seriously I could go on about how hilariously bad this game is, like how every time a girl character dives and gets up it sounds like she is having a small orgasm. Or it's versus mode where two teams face off or try to complete different objectives in zombie filled environments. What's sad is you can avoid every zombie because they usually lag out. Oh how does the it feel to fight other people in this game? Quite dumb to be honest, when you have both payers running side to side shooting each other and trying to see who can get the messing aiming to work. This game should of been better, its a cool concept but sadly with a dumb and sloppy execution. Which doesn't surprise me when it's by Slant Six Games, the same people that made that online only Socom Confrontation. That game was a mess and whatever engine they continue you to use needs to be tossed in the trash!

  I really wanted to like this game, I love the Resident Evil series but lately it's games have been getting dumber and dumber. If your an RE fan, please avoid this game. It will do nothing but leave a sour taste in your mouth from a classic story line to the franchise.  It's a damn shame this became another dumb clumsy action game.
