Beat the game with a friend on co-op and not disappointed.

I wasn't much of a resident evil fan before but after this game I am taking a look back at some of the older games. This one I know is different though, as it plays similar to a shooter rather than a survivor horror. I played this with a friend and in my opinion that is the best way to play, I hate playing games where you have to watch out for a stupid computer but instead trust in your friend.

GRAPHICS: 8.5
Good details in the game and a nice looking environment but nothing really stood out or looked really amazing.

CONTROLS: 9
Smooth for the most part and easy to get the hang of, but it can be annoying trying to quickly do something in your inventory and quickly get out.

GAMEPLAY: 10
Smooth and straightforward about the whole way through. Non of the guns were really overpowered and they all seemed to come in handy at different times. The fact that you can upgrade your favorite guns for a price also helps to add another level of gameplay. And other it was a linear game the open areas and plenty of running room helped to make you forget about it.

SOUND: 8.2
Much like the graphics the sounds were nice but never really stood out and commanded your attention.

STORY:7.8
Not to impressive, and although I didn't play the previous ones I didn't like that these "zombies" were toting guns and shooting at me. I don't know if they did in any of the older ones but I didn't like it. Also the big plot twist toward the end you can see coming from a mile away, but I won't spoil it for anyone.

MULTIPLAYER: 10
Best part of the game, I never went online but playing split screen with a friend makes this game very enjoyable. All the way through the story and again in the bonus mercenary mode that you can play it.

FINAL: 8.9
