Resident Evil:Operation Racoon City
For: PC,PS3,Xbox 360
Played on : PS3
Date: 5/15/2012
Game Play:
unlike its predecessors this game is a
third person shooter, think army of two based in the resident evil
storyline/universe. The primary concept does not revolve around the
traditional resident evil horror survivor, but it does have almost
all of the original enemies that you seen in resident evil 2&3.
the only let downs was the AI system on both the enemy and single
player, the Enemy AI is rudimentary due to no difficulty settings
also the game is allowed cheap shots meaning getting cornered is a
bad thing. The single player AI doesnt help due to the fact there are
no squad controls, also the healer and scientist will only heal you
30% of the time. The controls needed to be smoothed out a little for
more responsive actions.
This game also has a rpg style system
as well. This is mainly used to help you obtain weapons, passive
abilities,and aggressive abilities. How you earn these items and
abilities are through the use of XP as currency. You can also gain
extra xp and a achievement by shooting the umbrella cameras and by
collecting data,also by killing zombies and enemies. You can choose
from 6 characters, each one has a different use and or ability. The
squad consists of 4 characters all which you choose in single player
mode,or other players will choose on there own in multiplayer.
Sound and Graphics:
As a game that was based primarily on
the console, I wouldn't count on the pc versions being any better
looking or sounding any better. The graphics in general are up to par
with the rest of the current Resident Evil series, sound included.
Story:
The story begins in Racoon City. You
play as a elite U.S.S (umbrella security service) squad made up of
many member from around the globe called “wolf pack”. One a
routine mission to retrieve the “G” virus, and return to the most
capable hands of the Umbrella Corporation. But as all stories go the
missions goes to shit and you end up doing more than your missions
stated. And from there you tromp your way through
human,zombie,mutant,and super beings. Trying to get out of the famed
Racoon City.
Verdict:
This game isn't for most but if you
give it a chance it will surprise you. The multiplayer is were its
at, there’s a whole lot more to do,items,abilities,and weapons to
gain. You will spend a good amount trying to level your character to
max while gaining there maximum abilities and weapons upgrades.
Pros:
- rpg style 3rd person shooter
- interesting abilities and weapons
- multiplayer is a must
Cons:
- Horrible AI
- Cheap player kills
- Short Story Overall
