There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
You can sprint, you couldn't in part 5. Nor could you roll to the sides or behind you, or roll forward. You can now dodge by ducking quick, running into a slide or dodge jumping backwards onto the ground and shoot while doing it all. Enemies can be shot in the head and be attacked in different ways: punches, roundhouse kickes, head twists, suplex, back hands, etc. If you continue to tap both triggers on your control, you will do a flashy move and lock on, stun or completely wipe out enemies all around you if they are close enough. I highly recommend doing this with Leon (only character that can dual handgun AKA this guy is a boss), or Helena (triple barrel shotgun anyone? shes the real boss) In other words, the gameplay has been vastly improved since the last installment.
None of these reviews touch on the voice acting, which is very good. The sound effects are second to none, and the soundtrack is very good however they could use it more as I felt some parts of the game were lacking in moments.
You can do different characters campaigns, I highly enjoyed Leon's the most as it is nostalgic, some parts will remind you of the monster that is Resident Evil 4, and slight doses here and there of Resident Evil 2. It is suspenseful and mysterious. Sometimes downright creepy, not scary, but mostly fun. It will be a horror thriller. For that alone I give the game 5 stars, not because I prefer that style of gaming more, but because it is the most well made. They have a niche for it, hell they began the genre in games, these guys excel in it. The more action style feels rushed, clunky and unperfected, you might feel this in the Chris campaign. It is some fun as you will definitely be shooting a lot more. The game also features a clunky duck and cover system by hiding behind walls and such, which is interesting but I found it hard to master. More times often than not, it will be better to just shoot an enemy without cover, or stand behind a wall.
A welcome addition to the series...they include a new character Jake, who has his own campaign and I found it enjoyable because it is a great blend of action and suspense, but mostly because the guy can beat up anything with his hands. In fact, his hands are a weapon, literally...in the weapon select screen.
Another high point of the game is the co-op. While you will probably enjoy this in full screen glory (unless you play online), I played the game split screen and found it much more enjoyable with a partner. The co-op feature is a vast improvement with slight flaws ( too much quick
-time button pressing events ) but is a definite plus to have that feeling of accomplishment when beating the level and defeating enemies with someone to share the burden (or blessing?). Be sure to try out mercenaries mode as it will keep you playing long after the end of all the campaigns. theres other game modes and one more campaign but I will not touch on these as I have yet to experience them enough for review.
The graphics are excellent. Some of the best I have seen in recent games. The story is great, however it plays out the best in the Leon campaign, it has the best story telling and gameplay, period. Overall, I give the game a 4.5, not perfect because it has its flaws.
With my reviews I try to be as honest as I can but of course they're simply my opinions. I certainly wouldn't want to lead anyone astray and have them spend their hard earned money on something they hate. I'm an average person like the rest of you. I don't always have $60.00 to drop on a game each month which is why I usually wait for a decent price drop. I picked up RE 6 when it cost me $31.00 with shipping. Was it worth it? It really depends on the type of person you are...
If you're a survival horror fan
If you're looking for a "scary game" with a psychologically gripping storyline and a few unexpected narrative twists than RE 6 is NOT the game you've been waiting for. Compared to games such as Clock-tower, Silent Hill, Siren, Fatal Frame, Haunting ground, Rule of rose, Corpse Party, Deadly Premonition, and Amnesia, Resident Evil 6 is a dud of a game. Comparatively it's the equivalent of buying an expensive bottle-rocket that supposedly bursts into multiple loud colorful explosions yet when you light it all it does is fizzle out and tip over even before it launches.
For most of us into horror we can forgive dated graphics or awkward controls so long as the game itself is interesting, thought provoking, delightfully strange, and genuinely unnerving. Unfortunately I have to confess RE 6 has none of these traits going for it. Whereas games such as Deadly Premonition are at least original and oddly endearing despite their lack of a budget, RE 6 is that behemoth of a triple A title that has plenty of cinematic special effects and elaborate set pieces yet its' heart is nowhere to be found.
Listen, if you love "survival horror" it's best to wait until RE: Revelations is ported over from the 3DS onto the 360 and PS3. "That" is the RE experience you've been waiting for fright-fans!
If you're an action adventure junky
Before you write of Resident Evil 6 is a failed experiment gone terribly wrong let me play devil's advocate a moment. There are those of us who like games beyond the survival horror genre. There are those of us who don't mind an entertaining third person shooter so long as we get a lot of bang for our collective buck. Assuming you can forgive a clichéd cheesy plot and a few control issues Resident Evil 6 is a great game!
The sheer amount of diverse monstrosities to slay has never been more varied in a game of this ilk. The J'avo in particular often go through an insect-like chrysalis as you wound them, drastically mutating into more powerful or more agile abominations. Classic zombies also make a return and this time even standard undead have "special types" ala Left 4 Dead. There are heavyset oversized zombies, leapers, acid vomiters, and even banshee screamers that can paralyze the heroes/heroines with a shrill shriek.
Each of the 4 campaigns sends you globe trotting to unique locations and the boss fights are plentiful and pulse pounding. Many creature features return from the grave later on in typical horror movie fashion or they transform into even more powerful variants of themselves. There certainly isn't a single dull moment in RE 6.
Though mostly an action shooter, RE 6 did take the time to throw in some vehicle segments, stealth missions, and even a few demented rounds of hide & seek. Most of these slight deviations from RE 6's core fundamentals were great. However, I found the camera conspired against me on a couple of occasions. If that were not enough having to tap LT & RT repeatedly just to climb a rope or scale a wall feels counter intuitive and very awkward. It's not that it's super-difficult but it does feel tacked on and unnecessary.
In spite of its' shortcomings, RE 6 does remain a very fun action thriller experience. Assuming you enjoyed the first GI JOE movie or you perceive foreign films such as Tokyo Gore Police as guilty pleasures, this will be a welcomed edition to your entertainment library.
Offerings
Resident Evil 6 has continued the tradition of awarding multiple play-throughs. As you progress through the game you find prestige points that unlock a plethora of unique skills. Whether you need a steadier aim, faster recovery time, more item drops, improved defense, or better melee combat training, you'll probably be able to purchase something that's to your liking. Additionally, getting a high rank on missions awards you with "special guns" that are more powerful than your starting arsenal.
Scattered around each stage are blue serpent emblems that give you better background information on the story. It's a nice added incentive as motivation to "find all the collectibles" but I kind of wish capcom would find more clever and organic ways to expand our knowledge of what's going on.
Lastly, unlockable costumes make a return! However, this time they're limited to "mercenaries" and procuring them often ties in to how well you do in this mode. (Or you can become a member of re.net and purchase them with your in-game points)
As if mercenaries wasn't enough of a side diversion, there's also "agent hunt mode". This allows you to enter someone else's game as a monster to rain on their parade. Is it fulfilling? Maybe, but I haven't indulged in it just yet. I've been focused mainly on the core campaigns which are more fascinating to me as a long-time re-fan. (I'm presently on the last campaign as Ada Wong)
Updates and changes
RE 6 has been updated twice. Supposedly Ada was given her own partner allowing her scenario to have co-op support like the others. Secondly, the action button prompts can be turned off to make many of the cinematic quick time events much easier to pull off.
Assuming you stayed away from RE 6 because of the QTEs, it shouldn't be as much of a problem at present. Just thought I'd bring that up!
In conclusion: Should you buy?
I suggest hardcore survival horror gamers give this one a pass-over. However, if you can also appreciate bombastic action adventure third person shooters like I can RE 6 is totally worth owning. Certainly it's not the most refined or responsive 3rd person shooter I've ever played but overall it is bursting out of its' seams with content and replay value!
RE 6 as a survival horror game: Disappointing and lackluster. Hey, I'm telling it like it is!
RE 6 as an action thriller game: Mostly awesome but not entirely perfect. The camera and some of the control prompts could have used a bit more fine tuning. However, the sheer amount of content, added maneuverability, ability to walk & shoot, beautifully intricate environments, and diversified enemy bestiary more than make up for the shortcomings!
