Product ReviewsResident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (Microsoft Xbox 360, 2012)

Be bad, be very bad, play the other side. Be an Umbrella Special Cleaner..

Playing the Devils Advocate.

I've always wondered about this possibility and here it is, playing a special unit within Umbrella, our team is not to fight the bad guys and save good guys. No, we are the bad guys saving our own stuff and killing good guys.

Its a different take, instead of encountering different zombies and wondering how they came into being, in this game we already know what to expect, yeah thats a "T-1056" and thats one is a "MP-Version 3" specimen. Our problem is that we are caught in our own zombie mess.

Playability is improved as far as the Resident Evil series goes, the controller layout isnt too hard to figure out, I would say its improved a lot but I think it would be helpful if the people who made this game could borrow or learn from other games... but if your a long time player in the Resident evil series, I think its a great improvement from the tanklike controls from the early Zombie-Mansion PS1 game

Overall, I like the story, some people say its short but this game took me a less than a week to complete, going at it in 2-3 hour daily sessions. If your a fan of the series I would go for it, I would like to see a more games about this Internal Umbrella Special Unit.Read full review...

Overall I think RE: ORC is a fun renter or buyer for nice multiplayer.

RE: Operation Raccoon City received poor reviews from IGN and GameInformer. Typically I buy games based on their opinions but in the case of Raccoon City I must disagree with them.

The game was filled with bugs so I'm told on opening day but having played around 10 hours of campaign and multiplayer I only see a few small, non game breaking issues. It feel's more like Gears of War than typical Resident Evil games. The shooting mechanic works great, and overall combat is addicting.

There are a few things with melee attacks I do not like. You can be constantly knocked down and have no way to dodge out of the way so you are kept in a damage loop until you die. It only happens here and there and most combat is ranged.

There are a lot of guns to buy but they get old and I wish there were more options to at least upgrade what guns you have.

You can however buy and upgrade player specific abilities. They upgrade your character significantly and make for a well rounded group of fighters.

Graphics are well done, and the tone is set in a dark and dreary world, but you can pretty much tear the zombies a new one and it gives you a great sense of power.

Finally I don't know what about this game people want to hate so much. I think people get so used to one style of gameplay and they cannot let it go and nothing else will do unless it's what they know.Read full review...

Way better than the critics say - Dead Space meets Dead Island only better!

I bought this in spite of the fairly negative reviews and I am glad I did. Is it the best Resident evil game - No. Code Veronica and RE2 will always be tops in my book. That said, this game does a really good job at putting you in the action. It is very linear in story telling but if I had to compare, it's Dead Space meets Dead Island. Plenty of zombies, plenty of ammo, plenty of weapons and if you're an RE fan, this is a very good edition.Read full review...

not so suprised! (but still worth it)

A great game that I would reccomend to any fan or non fan of the resident evil universe. The campaign isn't that long but it was designed for multiple playthroughs with up to 3 of your friends. Or you can take the fight online with teams of 4vs4. Multiple game modes, costumes, weapons, this was a great game by a newer developer. Buy it!Read full review...

Don't waste your time

This game is an utter dud. While is replete with potential, the team at Slant Six fell short in a number of key development aspects. The mechanics are more frustrating more than anything else, and many of them (particularly the cover system) don't work as often as they should. The dialogue is bland, the enemies are weak and repetitive, and the AI-controlled players are useless to the point of comedy. Furthermore, the trademark scares that define the Resident Evil franchise are almost entirely absent; the game relies on a meager few "jump" scares dispersed randomly. Fans of the series and newcomers alike will be bitterly disappointed by this mediocre title, and would be better served to look elsewhere.Read full review...
