    Bigger! & Longer! & Fun!

    Resident Evil 6 is the latest title in the long running video game series from Capcom that has spawn over a dozen games across over 15 year

    Resident Evil or in Japan known as Bio Hazard originally debuted on Sony PlayStation in 1996

    Positive +

    4 campaigns to play from the prospective of up to 7 characters with various location tailor made for that character(s)

    with Leon Kennedy who debuted in RE2 returning who helped reboot the series thanks to RE4

    along with the original male protagonist Chris Redfield with his follow up from RE5

    Mercenaries Mode a time trial arcade zombie horde mode that is unlocked right off the bat is a nice break from the campaign

    Slight new tweaks to the controls to allow for trick shots and melee take downs animations for satisfying gameplay

    Negative -

    Your being tailed by an A.I. partner or a another player via online which can take away from the solitude atmosphere and can sometimes get in the way during combat

    Zombies that you kill will fade away disappearing i.e. no corpse effect

    Reports there is some disc locked content primarily for online modes to be released as DLC

    Closing Argument

    Resident Evil has never been meant to be taken seriously but is a cheesy B Movie that is entertaining!

    at the end of the day it's a great 3rd person zombie shooter nothing more nothing less

    I just can't say no to Alan Wake or I just can't return some videotapes.

    I am uncomfortable reading this.

    And I really doubt this person actually played this game.

      Oh boy. Where to even begin? I've been a fan of this franchise since the very beginning back in 1996; Resident Evil was my childhood, and the very original just so happened to be one of the first games that I played. I adored this stuff during the 90s and early oughts. However, once came Resident Evil 4, things changed. Now I'm not going to lambaste Resident Evil 4 as some evil mark of damnation--it's a great game by all means--but it's not why I personally came to this series; it's not why I wa...
