Same old Resident Evil with a few upgraded graphics.

I have to be honest; I didn't get very far in this one. I rented it hoping to spark that old Resident Evil excitement I remember from several years ago, and sadly, this didn't even come close. No big enhancements to speak of that made this any different of an experience over the older titles. Don't get me wrong! I loved Resident Evil in the 90's and early 00's, but that was then. Some games are better off left like it's previous installments in terms of gameplay and music, such as Zelda, Castlevania, etc. Not RE however, because I do remember the frustration of choppy and stiff controls from the games before, getting frustrated in combat trying to escape enemies. Another part of the game that is unchanged is the inability to carry many items, resulting in tedious backtracking that turns you off real fast!!! The backdrops in the game are fantastic, bordering on amazing. The character models are also well done, with some good CG cutscenes. The "tag team" element that is implemented into the game appears like it can be a cool addition, but it doesn't do much more than create more irritation. All in all, RE 0 seemed like it might be a decent experience if played through. I just couldn't get excited enough to play it for very long!
