GameSpot- Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a frighteningly flawed action-heavy spin-off that withers in the shadow of its superior alternatives.
GF365: "Is Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City worth playing in 2023? This game originally received less than impressive reviews from critics and gamers alike. You may be wondering what this game is all about."
game was ridiculously dark when i played it bk then. not sure about now.
ike you couldnt see a damn thing ha
Now that Resident Evil 3 remake is less than a month away, here's a look back at the other times Capcom reimagined the 1999 classic game.
The Gamer's Ghost returns in this Late in the Game Review series to revisit Raccoon City. Did Slant Six Games' premier Resident Evil title hold up to the series' standards? Or was it rotten, like the very zombies spawned from Umbrella's dastardly research?
I actually thought this was a fun game. Was it great? No. But there were some very cool moments in the game.
Stand outs were taking on the Nemesis with a group and the Tyrant on the elevator.
One if the worst games I ever had the dishonor of playing I'm glad Capcom has rebounded to making quality games now even outside the RE series.
Once again no surprise here lol!!! Gamespot give a slightly better score than IGN (4.0), but still admitted that its real bad. save your money and Reserve Resident Evil 6 and Dragon's Dogma on the 360 version if you want to play the demo for Resident Evil 6 early.
I have it and personally like it, at least its not a typical TPS with just terrorist trying to kill you. The story isn't going to be "deep" its a backstory to an already epic one (RE2 & 3). With that being said I feel a lot of these websites that give it a low score do it because they were expecting too much from it.
I hope it hits the $20 mark fast because I'll still play it because I'm a game whore.
Another franchise destroyed by Slant Six
The thing that I see as the biggest issue here is that it is a shooter, with bad shooting.
Surely that is the first thing you should get right. At least then you could say 'it's a flawed game, but shooting zombies is fun'.
