Im not quite sure where the series went wrong, i dont reckognise the atmosphere or intensity of the earlier games.
However im more than dissapointed with this game, ive played Resident Evil Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil 3 through several times, all of which were great games, scary atmosphere never quite knowing what to expect behind the next corner, engaging puzzles more than enough scares, and zombies did i mention zombies? the core of resident evil.
However what they did with this game is remove the scares, introduce a new virus/parasite meaning that the zombies, or should i say zombiehumanoids now weild weapons, such as crossbows guns rifles..... you name it.
Having a failed experiment running around with a chainsaw is by no means a bad thing, and that's not where they went wrong however by turning the survial horror shooter into an action game is where it went horribly wrong for me.
The game just isnt scary anymore, the dialogue is cheesy at times and the enemies are just over the top, in a bad way.
However some of the boss fights are interesting and basically one of the better things in the game, however it's a bit strange to battle a big monster of some sort only to progress through the game and have parasite infected humanoids sniping you off from a distance.
For me unless they go back to formula this is probably gonna be the peak, however i am still quite generous with my 7.5 score because of the co-op and the fact that i did have some fun with it, however the next similar game is a pass for me.
