A very fun classic shooter
PostedMarch 25, 2012
Let me start off by saying I am a huge Resident Evil fan. I've played them all starting from the first one on PS1. Ignore what everyone else has to say and judge the game for yourself but if you want my two cents here are my thoughts. This has to be one of the funnest games I have ever owned. Sure it has its flaws, but what game doesn't? This brings me back to the good old days when video games were all about fun. When you played games such as Goldeneye for N64 and Conker you didn't care about graphics or gameplay or even the story. You played for the journey, you played because each level you went through was more fun than the next. These are the classics that make many of us dust off our old consoles to play them again, classics that have stood the test of time. Operation Raccoon City brings me back to those days, it is a solid fun shooter that you can play with up to four of your friends online in co-op or with up to eight players in multiplayer. The multiplayer is very fun as well with not only other players on the maps but hordes of zombies and B.O.Ws coming after you. Today most people want the best graphics and so on in games but whatever happened to when games were simply about fun? In years to come do you think people will be playing games such as Modern Warefare 3? No they will have moved on to other things. Many games do not have the replay value that they used to but Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is one of the few that does. It is so much fun running through some of the same locations from Resident Evil 2 & 3. I find it funny how this game was constantly advertised as a "spin-off non-canon what-if scenario" and an "Action squad-based tactical shooter" and yet many still complain that they were disappointed how this game is not like the older survivial horror Resident Evils of the past. To some up my review if you want a simple and very fun game to play with your friends or if you want a Resident Evil game that has locations that bring you down memory lane then this is the game for you.
I was excited for this game, and I wanted to buy it. Im really glad I rented it instead. It is fun the first 30 minutes of play then gets very repetitive and you run out of ammo 2 seconds. The special abilities don't really do anything. Depends on the player but I suggest renting this game and DO NOT BUY IT! I beat it 3 hours. RENT RENT RENT!!

People think this games really bad but really everyone ive played with so far have been saying how they love this game. i especially like this game because its like a prototype of what the knew resident evils are going to be like instead of stand and shoot and were able to use combos and such. Overall its a great game i would suggest for you guys to get it.

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?! Doesn't represent RE Franchise
PostedMarch 25, 2012
I am a HUGE Resident Evil fan. I recently started playing RE4 again and got right back into the whole series. For the past couple of weeks I've been playing both RE4 and RE5 and was so pumped when I heard that Operation Raccoon City was coming out infact i pre-ordered it. Which i have NEVER done for any game. I got home popped it in and at first thought it was awesome. The characters look cool. But then i started playing..... The graphics remind me nothing of resident Evil games, they were good but just different. I shook that off and continued to play. What i found was that your teamates are dumb and waste your time, no bosses, zombies are easy, and the biggest killer for me the game was TOO short. This game doesn't represent the Resident Evil Franchise. If you want to get it wait until the price drops. Then buy it, believe me the reviews are right. Out of 10 I would give this game a 4 at most. I was wildly dissapointed.
