I'm having a pretty good time with it overall, but it doesn't feel much like a Resident evil game other then the 1st chapter of Leons campaign. As a resident evil game. I give it a 6. Just because it feels so foreign and out of place. But as a shooter with some tense moment. I give it an 8. Their is nothing inherently wrong with the game, The lighting is great, no bugs that I've seen. So I think it's pretty fun, especially with a friend.

It is different than previous RE games, but its NOT BAD! So much bashing on the game. A friend and i played through leons campaign today and through 2 chapters of chris' campaign. So far it has been a pretty badass game overall. It has some great combat with a lot of intense scenes and plenty of oh sh!t moments

I can't really say too much as far as story and how it compares to the rest of the RE series because I've never played any other RE games. However I just recently played the demo on 360 and I gotta say I played about 15 minutes and was done. There were a couple things that just got under my skin but the biggest thing is how they would set up an area. It just seemed.......poorly planned. I noticed that when you walk into an area there would be bodies. I would try and shot them just in case they decided to attack me and it would have no effect. I'd go into another area then have to come back and what do you know the same darn body was now a zombie that was trying to eat me. Another spot there was a metal detector. I knew that if I went through the thing it would send a signal to all the zombies in the area, so I tried jumping over a small desk next to it. Of course I couldn't do it so I went through the detector and sure enough set it off and had to fight a swarm of zombies. However just after that one there was another metal detector and I could jump over the desk for that one. Like I said probably small compared to the big picture but to me things like that is just poor design and poor writing. Usually ends up a game killer for me.

Ironically after playing the demo, I decided that I wasn't going to get it. The poor reviews were just reassurance that the right choice was made.

I'll wait till its in the value bin

Todays my birthday, so if somebody wants to buy it for me then awesome, Ill play it. Otherwise, I'll wait till its $30 at the most before buying it myself, ha. The one thing that concerns me is how long the campaigns are. I realize theyre 4 different campaigns, but how long are each of them?

-Maybe I just need to get used to it, but the zombies are just boring to fight. The reason why I liked Re4 and 5 were because the enemies reacted differently where you shot them. It added strategy when combined with your melee attacks. In this game, the zombies barely flinch. It just depends how many times you hit them (headshots don't seem to matter as much). And melee just seems awkward. I do like some of the finishing moves though if they carry an item or close to a wall where you can smash their head. It's nice to see the return of zombies but combating them in this gameplay style feels underwhelming.

-And maybe it's just me, but I miss the tank controls. This game has more freedom in its control, but because of this, it just feels like your typical third person shooter like Gears of War.

-and the graphics...wow. The models of the main characters are nice, similar to RE5 but everything else is just terrible. In some cases, it looks worse than RE4. Feels like a big step back from the gorgeous RE5.

That's just a few hours of playing through the game. I'm usually generous in my opnions once I get fully immersed in the game's mechanics. Right now, some things seem confusing to me. It's not a bad game. Hopefully things improve from here.

I'm really enjoying it. I just finished Leon's 10 hours campaign and it was awesome. I feel if they just put his campaign for 20 hours the game would of been awesome. But it was good, very excellent boss battles and fresh enemies to keep you on your toes. So far the game is a solid 8 for me, 4.5 makes me no longer respect that reviewer one bit.

I regard RE6 as a major low point for the series.

Bad game, only good aspect is the cutscenes. I thought Kevin giving it a 4.5/10 was spot on, maybe even could have been lower.

The controls sucked, the gameplay sucked, way to many QTE that seemed out of place, bugs and the main thing its just not fun.

I dont care about RE not being a survival horror anymore, but this new RE6 is not even a good action game.

RE4 and RE5 where no longer SH style but they still where good action games with fun gameplay and well polished. RE6 is not a good game in any other way then the presentation (cutscenes voice acting). I dont always agree with Kevins scores, but I find his reviews well done and enjoyable to read. Glad not all reviewers give out good scores just because of a series NAME.

Up there with Foreign Legion Multi Massacre as the years worst game for me.

I split screened it with a good friend whom I've been playing RE games on release since RE4. I see a lot of the complaints GS talks about in their review, and while I'm not a fan of QTEs and the camera shift in those "running" parts of the game that transition at times a bitunexpectedly, they don't break the game or are that difficult to deal with. I think GS overreacted especially to the latter, as when you do get a "cheap" death in those scenes, you start back up right where you died basically.

Narrative wise, it's Resident Evil and as silly as it is I enjoy that. The game-play and the game itself certainly is not the best executed 3rd person action game, that being said it's also not that worst. Personally, I would give somewhere between a 6.0 - 6.5. While the reviewers here (GS) are entitled to their opinion, they are also paid for their opinion and my only regret (not so much on this review) is they have been lacking on the consistency or standards of their reviews of late.

Well i liked the game in spurts. its not amazing and im glad i rented and not bought it. I played Leon and Chris' campaigns and Leon was a little more traditional in style but was a tad boring. I liked Chris' a lot more. Its zombie action movie affair. Lot of bro ish kickassery. Play it if you are curious, be snobbish if you dont give things ypur open mind. Though ya know i actaully enjoyed ORC too. But because i spent 5 dollars on them and not 60

I really like the game so far,. As far as Resident Evil games go it's pretty slick. I've been playing some of the older games again before this one came out and it's a lot better than them. I guess some people wanted something different or something more but I like what is there. I'd agree with Gametrailers review on it.

way to many QTE that seemed out of place.

The only time I've ever liked QTE's was in Shenmue and God of War. Can't stand them otherwise

Anyway, game is awful, i had hope for Leon's campaign but after playing through it with a friend it was quite disappointing. Terrible set pieces, overabundance of QTE and button pressing sequence and oftentime too dark in certain area.

Watched my friend play through Chris's and it looked just as bad, i don't know about Jake's and Ada's.

I love a good polarizing game. You either love it or you hate it, actually RE has always been that way. I remember people who said the 1st one sucked, I remember people who hated 4 because of it's changes. I never liked 3 and 5 was boring unless you played co op. It's just funny how people react to this series.

I've had plenty of fun with this game so far. Played through each campaign. I can't really choose a "best" one since each campaign had it's pros and cons. If I pick one based on surprises I'd go for Chris just because of what happens to Piers towards the end of Chapter 5. Other than that I'd rank the campaigns almost similar. Jake's slightly lower because of that blizzard area. The Mercenaries is a blast to play duo. I only wish we had more maps available right now and that they let you choose what enemies to face like Mass Effect 3 does.

Overall I'm satisfied. Its a solid game. It's not Resident Evil but then again the series has not been since Code Veronica.

So I finished it and wrote my review, for better or worse. Sometimes I don't like writing a review right after I play something, but then I'm afraid I'll procastinate and never write it.

Anyways on topic, I had a lot of fun. I know it's not for everyone as it goes from horror to action to stealth to being chased to boss and some won't like that. I had a lot fun though, never got bored, never felt like I was doing a chore, just really fun game even with it's flawas. An 8 from me.
