To be my last review, and my LAST visit to GameSpot due to how much I disagree with the review by Kevin V.
1. He didnt really go into how well the multiplayer works. The multiplayer is Flawless from my experiances. No lag. A perfect co-op experiance.
2. This is the most fluid resident evil to date. The controls are Vastly improved compared to the previous games. FACT. Not the opposite according to kevin. Play 5 then play this, Seriously the results are there. 6 plays better yet 5 gets a much HIGHER rating? Are you kidding me?
3. This game is longer than resident evil 5, and resident evil 4. And after careful evaluation, about the same length as resident evil 2 (including all 4 scenarios). Length is important, Kevin never really made a point about it.
4. Quick time events work pretty well. And lets not forget they were implemented a LONG LONG time ago within the series. (resident evil 3, capcoms dino crisis franchise which was pretty successful). It doesnt slow down the game, If you are trying to stop a zombie from dunking your head in a meat grinder how is that not awesome. It sounds like one of those things that made the series popular in the first place. Kevin seems to disagree. Intensity describes resident evils identity. FACT.
5. Kevin claims that through quick time events and battles there is a sense off total loss of control over your character. Explain this to me because it doesnt make any sense. If you play and resident evil you would know that hitting buttons makes a zombie get the hell off of you. One thing they added is when you get shot a couple times you fall down and have to get back up. Unlike 5 where you just absorbed bullets and your health bar takes the damage...Really kevin..
6. I CANNOT FRIGEN BELIEVE THE SCORE KEVIN GAVE. a 4.5???..... According to kevin this game is 1 point away from being BROKEN. UNFINISHED.TECHNICALLY FLAWED TO THE POINT IN WHICH YOU CANT BEAT THE GAME. Most of these apply to the game still with a 4.5 score. This is the lowest score for a resident evil game I have ever seen. You mean to tell me that Dead aim and outbreak are better? please.
7. The game is a 4.5 but it has a "rich narrative and great voice acting"?...so essentially it has 2 of the most important things a resident evil game should have but its still below mediocre?. The games not broken. The game is really fun, the co-op works great and enhances the experience, Replay ability due to skill points and unlocks and the famed professional difficulty to give the true survival horror experience. Im not blind but close to it without contacts, but even I can see this franchise has taken a step forward especially from the previous title. ( thats the point of sequels). The series still has potential and I find this game to be excellent, a job well done capcom Thanks for an awesome game and great memories.
