Is Resident Evil:ORC really that bad?

Hey people, I was thinking of getting a Resident Evil game before the new one come's out. I was going to get Operation Racoon City. Then I saw a bunch of people saying it's terrible and what not. Is this true? If it is I'll just get Resident Evil 4 HD.

I rented from gamefly, hoping the reviewer's were just biased Needless to say while the Competitive multiplayer was "ok" the game really got bland fast. I couldn't even bare to finish the story after 2Chapter's i imagine with friends it might be better. But see'ing how it was i certainly wouldn't recommend buying it could rent from redbox, if you really want to try it otherwise pick up RE4 Which is just awesome.

I bought it just for the multiplayer and don't mind it. I've played online for about 10 hours and I'm not bored yet.

I'm a fan of the Left 4 Dead games on the 360 and while this game isn't anywhere as good, the online is fun.

The online mode that I like the best is Survivor - you and your team fight against against another team and zombies and after about 7 to 10 minutes a chopper arrives and you have to get on board - there's only room for four players. Knocking someone out while they're about the board the chopper never gets old.

There's no straight wave/horder/survival mode where you or you and your team just fight wave after wave of zombies and that's disappointing.

The game is very dark, even with the gamma cranked up.

I've never been a big fan of the control/shooting scheme in all previous RE games but I liked the control scheme here.

You can blow off a zombie's head or blast their legs off.

I tried the story mode and what I tried was blah.

Contrary to what the back of the box says, you can't play 1-4 players offline with a single machine - split screen with a friend would have been great.

I only paid $35.00 for it and I think that's a fair price, $60.00 is too much.

I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. It's certainly not the train wreck that people make it out to be.

Online with non-AI team mates makes the game a lot more enjoyable. If you don't plan to play that way I'd suggest avoiding it or waiting for a severe price drop.

its not that bad mate, i only played the sp and i had a blast.. if you're looking for a nice RE game with a few new perks give it a try, i loved it.. ;)

It is an ok game, but only when playing with friends. A.I. in the game is just horrid.Brickz187

I would love to play online with my friends but, those N00BZ sit around and play COD all day. I'm not saying it's a bad game but thats all they play. I guess I'll get RE 4 HD.

It's horrific, a festering omnishambles of a game that gives every impression of having been coded by a troop of blind monkeys with numb hands. Steer well clear.

I didn't mind the game at all. I've played through it about 6 times online. However it does have a lot of glitches such as Tyrant not spawning or Tyrant just freezes which has happended to me 2 meaning I've had to quit the game and zombies that disappear, AI can be awful at times such as just standing and not doing anything or just getting in your way. Apart from that I've enjoyed it I accept it's more of a action style third person shooter rather then horror. The multiplayer mode survivor is fun especially trying to fight your way onto the chopper since spaces are limited and only 4 out of 8 can escape.

The I like characters especially Lupo (since she does the super solider thing) and Vector (since he can turn invisible).

I didn't mind seeing Resident Evil in a different way and personally I couldn't care less what the professional reviewers thought. I enjoyed it for what it is.

it seems to me that the game online is slowly dying.

Can't say I agree. Haven't had any problems finding people to play Survivor with.

The game dropped in price to $50.00 where I live and I imagine it's going to drop everywehre else which should bring more people online.

Plus, their regular moneygrubbing tactics aside, Capcom didn't release the game with an online pass and that should help keep the online community alive longer than games like Homefront or Medal of Honor.
