God Awful

User Rating: 2 | Resident Evil 6 X360
Capcom have killed their best franchise. Maybe they thought it was a good idea, maybe someone always wanted to go this direction. Either way, Resident Evil, the survivor horror game that relied on scares and story has been replaced by gimmicks and flash. You might enjoy this game, but even the most hardcore Capcom fan will have to seriously wonder what happened.
Simply put, the story is a joke. It probably took all of 5 minutes to come up with it. Instead of putting challenge in the game, gimmicky button and quick time events are in this game so much its almost funny. A button game to climb a rope? Quick time event to crawl on the ground? Awesome. Also, instead of the typical Resident Evil action, alot of this game is driving means of transportation. Dont that sound fun. From motorcycle to Jet, its a wonder Chris didnt somehow find himself in the space shuttle. Stealing ideas from other games? Real time menu ala Dead Space? Nice wasted city level with giant monster ala Gears of War? Nice downtown Hong Kong fight ala Army of Two? They are all here.
In the end, Resident Evil this is not. As much as it tries, this game really is quite boring. You really dont care what happens next, and all your really doing when your playing is getting ready for the next button game. If this is the direction the franchise is going, than Resident Evil is no more. Its about as good as the movies have been.
