This is one of the few films left to come out this year I actually give two tits about seeing.

.... It's been too long since I drew anything. crappy ineffective full time employment.

disclaimer: this review may not be as wacky as the title suggests. also there's mild spoilers.

13hours. 1 sitting... probably shouldnt have started playing it at 6pm.

What Resident Evil once was has now gone.
Now we have a shiny new HD americanised toy advert.

...END...

nah, The good news.

Because the level design is linear and the environments are restricted, capcom have concentrated on the detail. As a result, the game is stunning. From expressions to tiny pours and imperfections on the skin the character animation is especially superb. The Co-OP is probably the best addition to the gameplay. I've played it with Sheva as a NPC and its got nothing on having someone to communicate with through the constant battles, bosses and ' puzzles '. Also the return of the Licker is danson, it looks amazing and tugs the old school nostalgia more than thundercats and hungry hungry hippos combined!

The bad news.

It borrows alot from Gears of War in terms of gameplay with ducking behind objects during combat. This only comes about when 'zombies' start picking up guns which is also really tedious. It also borrows alot from Metal Gear Solid in terms of narrative with respect to Jill Valentines return. They had this oppertunity to bring back so many characters with this. Theres a character, Irvine who could easily be Stevie and why not? He died but who hasn't in this crazy mixed up resi world. Birkin's the main antagonist in this one and he left Code Veronica with Stevie's mutated DNA so it's fesable.

In summation it's good. Really good. It works well as a sequel/origin story. It IS a shame they don't make Resi like they used to. Dead Space has shown us that the format still works but I do understand this 'action-terror' appeals more to the masses than survival horror and they did a decent job. Resi4 relaunched and revolutionised the franchise and this doesnt fall far from that tree so at times 5 does just seem like its older brother vomitted in NextGen but.... I'm ok with it.
