It really says something about an action game (used here as an umbrella term for pretty much any game where you kill enemies) when you finish the primary story mode and it says you are only about 30% done.
Pros:
- Solid gameplay, similar to RE4
- Great value in the forms of extra weapons, modes, and online play
- Accessible
Cons:
- Very little ambiance-driven scares
- Story is incoherent without the wall ‘o’ texts
- …Accessible
Recommendation:
- Buy: Rabid fans of the series and anyone who enjoyed RE4, as well as action game fans with the patience to learn a quirky control scheme
- Rent: Gamers who were iffy about the demo, or want to spend a good weekend with the game before waiting on a price drop
Get comfortable, this review is going to be a long one.
