Operation Raccoon City: 5 Reasons Gamers Should Think Twice Before Buying, 'Terrible Execution'

Resident Evil Raccoon City, the latest installment of the zombie post-apocalyptic shooter franchise, just hit North American stores on March 20th. But with its new release, the series known for its dark thriller-esque gameplay style is veering away from its original intent. For fans, "Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City" could be a hiccup in the franchise's generally successful history. Here are five key points gamers should know before joining forces with Umbrella.

Ok, so I just wasted my time reading this. All this website did was take quotes from other websites and put a number by it. Seriously? This crap gets approved? What I find hilarious is that people haven't yet realized this is suppose to be based off of Resident Evil Outbreak.

Has anyone ever played that?! That game was horrible (but amazing at the same time). No actual communication support. Took ages to get into a game. The only positive was being in the Resident Evil Universe.

While I admit the story could've been "Deeper" I have no problem with how they fleshed it out. Minor tie ins to RE2 and 3, while maintaining a purpose.

The entire story is basically one line "Destroy any and all evidence proving Umbrellas involvement with this outbreak"

How come I have a feeling like 300 more of these same articles are going to surface soon!?

People need to realize this isn't a chapter in Resident Evil. Its a side story at best.

Its being beaten over the head as a CoD variant that uses the RE name. Fans of RE are not impressed, not seen the game myself but it looked alright for a blast. Expect rapid price drops on this one though.

Yeah, the game has good replay value cause of the co-op but as far as the single player is concerned unless you are trying to get S ranking (which I'm sure any die hard RE fan will do) than you really have no reason to go back into the campaign alone.

I am a big Resident Evil fan (aside from 5) and I have to say that this game is really just that much different. The ability to aim and shoot is good for this type of game considering there are so many more zombies and enemies than before. The MP is so much fun. I think I accidentally played like 3 hours last night without realizing it.

Thats only 1 reason I counted: 4. Buggy controls.

Its trying to be a multiplayer game from the start, so "4." is the only one that matters IF you were going to get it. I'm not, but just sayin'

Fil1014436d ago

yes but any true die hard resi fan like me woulld av seen this as NOT a proper resi game I seen the first couple of trailers & none ov them got me excited bring on resi 6 now that looks like a proper resi game

Kostchtchie4435d ago

Behind AC: New Horizons, this is my 2nd most wanted game this year.
Until Capcom remade RE2, RE3: Nemesis on PS1 was my favourite RE game.

Tross1530d ago (Edited 1530d ago )

I do think it's easily one of the most underrated RE games. I'm looking forward to fending off REmake Nemesis, especially since I heard his appearances throughout the game will now be somewhat randomized.

Umbrella chronicles is still my favourite it was really cool going back and playing the classics with updated graphics.

Nerdmaster1530d ago

I would say I thought Darkside Chronicles was better mainly because 2, Code Veronica and 4 (kind of represented in the game by Leon and Krauser) are my favorite games. But the super shaky camera in Darkside really bothered me...

Late in the Game Review: 'Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City'

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.

AK911561d ago

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.
