Capcom forgot old lessons.
Graphics - 10. Some of the best for the 360 yet. Not a choppy moment. Huge enviornment, great detail, so much small detail in the game it's incredible. A step in the right direction.
Sound - 9. Creepy sounds in the game. Very creepy. Turn the lights off and the sound up - it's fun. And with the graphics together it's quite the show. But music in game? Other than ambient music such as when in an elevator, is overkill.
Value - 2. Kindof looses it's replayability when you repeat every single boss fight 5 times to complete it correctly. Especially when you have to travel across the entire map (huge) to get to a boss that has no food nearby, only to be kicked across the screen into a different zone by the boss. When this happens, a cutscene comes up showing that the boss gets away, and you have to attempt this bossfight for the sixth time. Quite frustrating. Escort missions are more fun, however, they lose their fun after about five in a row. Especially when the idiot AI escort can't seem to get past two zombies in an open area. Was the ally AI written to run into zombies, instead of around them? Why, oh why Capcom, did you decide that checkpoints and autosaves are beneath you? Why, oh why Capcom, did you decide to allow the main character to be stunned during every hit allowing concurant damage to occur taking away any chance of fighting? Capcom, there are these things called difficulty settings and checkpoints. We all know that AI is hard to create, but friendly AI? And for gods sake, telling a friggin' story doesn't have to include mile long runs without some kind of checkpoint before boss engagements!
Reviewer's Tilt - 7. This game is one of the first on the 360 to utilize the 360's great graphics and sound. It's a fun game to play as a group or by yourself - and the ability to save your character status and restart the game with that status is good, although it is a last minute quick-fix for bad gameplay. Sounds like damage control had to come in to meet the deadline.
