Resident Evil with a permanent partner? good!
The storyline is very good, even if is somewhat predictable and previously seen.
The partner Sheva Alomar suits pretty good with the game's plot (and she has a fine derriere, as well ;) )giving "super hero" Chris Redfield an useful hand. The problem? with such a powerful aid, Resident Evil is not scary anymore. Chris and Sheva are so well armed, and work so fine as a team (adding an almost permanent sunlight) that the terror simply faded! it feels more like an action-shooter game. However, the game is incredible!
It has caused mixed reactions, but is a beautiful and exciting game experience. Hopefully, a possible Resident Evil 6 would "return to its roots"...
