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.
