no idea what is was because the series itself didn’t know what it was. Is it a tense survival

horror game or is it a fast paced action shooter? Resident Evil 6 tries to solve this by going

with, heck it can be both and tries to give the player multiple ways of getting the Resident

Evil they want. For everyone wanting a return to the old style, with limited ammo and more

running from fights than looking for them, well it didn’t go that far. RE 6 tries to

tip-toe the line, and in my opinion, it succeeds very well.

Resident Evil continues the main series with a major entry. Everything about this is game

is bigger than life, from the story, the characters and the gameplay. The game is practically

three games in one, with plenty of additional content. There are three campaigns, each with

their own protagonist and each plays very differently from one another. There is Leon

Kennedy, who must survive an outbreak of the new C-virus in a small college town. Chris

Redfield, who is battling memories and a bioterrorism attack in a fictional Chinese city. And Jake

Muller, the son of Albert Wesker who must escape authorities and is maybe the key to

solving the whole mess. Each protagonist comes with an AI partner, and own style of gameplay.

Leon’s in more paced and gripping while Chris’s campaign is more intense and action

packed. But in all of them you will be doing a majority of shooting.

The gameplay has seen some big changes that make it feel more complete. For one, you can

now move while aiming, but you don’t move so fast that it turns into a military shooter.

Also, the co-op mechanics are greatly improved. You no longer share ammo with your partner,

so you don’t cringe every time they just blast away and never hit anything. Also their

AI has been fixed to make them actually hold their own.

And everything looks absolutely incredible. This is how Resident Evil games should look,

dark and creepy, making that next corner even that more intense.

Resident Evil 6 is going to be one of the most polarizing entry in the long series.

Some will love the multiple campaigns and the touches of survival horror added back

in. While other are going to feel there is not enough horror and this is too much of

a shooter. While it may not reach the greatness of Resident Evil 2 or RE 4, it is still one

of the more enjoyable ones of the series.
