PixlBit's Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review

"For more than fifteen years players have been experiencing the Resident Evil series through the eyes of the good guys. They’ve controlled Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Chris and Claire Redfield, among others, but never before have they been given the opportunity to see the events of the series from the perspective of the evil Umbrella Corporation. Part of the intent of Operation Raccoon City was to expose players to the other side of the story, offering an inside look at the events surrounding Resident Evil 2 and 3. Sadly, this opportunity has been squandered on an inconsequential story and a gameplay experience that is at best, boring, and at worst, flat-out broken."

Wow, this score means that even a little flash game that got a 2/5 is a better experience than this resident evil.

Question: aren't these websites/journalists exaggerating with these scores ?

Trenta274436d ago

No. It's a terrible game. The minute you start it up you already hate the game.

RedDead4436d ago

1/5 is an unplayble game with absolutely no hint of fun, frustrating to the max. Does RE ORC deserve that score? Is it really a game with nothing even remotely decent about it?

ritsuka6664436d ago

This is a troll site, theres no way Raccon city deserve this score.

Kurylo3d4436d ago

i could beleive that it deserves this score... i mean i could see this game was going to be terrible before it was even released.

Trenta274436d ago

It is truly bad. I am a big fan of the series, but this game was a disappointment. I quit in the first level. I watched a few videos of later levels and it looked just as bad. Just my opinion.

Yui_Suzumiya4436d ago

Matter of opinion, not fact. I'm waiting on a price drop so I have no opinion yet, but it's still just an opinion.

Ouch! I didn't make the game but that hurts my feelings. Almost saying it should have never been made. Can't be that bad can it? Will need to play it an see.

portugamer4436d ago

:(

It looked so great, graphics were cool too.
How can they ruin a game like this? I mean, millions fans are waiting for resident evil games.
Something went wrong. A lot of things, we should say.

This is only a spin off, you'll see real RE in November.

rezzah4436d ago

DLC trophies are there, its not like theyre trying to hide them by adding them when they actually release the DLC.

You can tell, if you don't own a ps3, that the trophies are for DLC because have a little plus sign in the top right or left corner.

I don't believe they have mentioned DLC for the game, but seeing those trphies assured my that they do plan on bringing and extra story DLC tot he game. Or maybe its just MP.

MasterD9194436d ago

I have the game and can say it isn't nearly as bad as these scores are giving it.

It isn't perfect and is far from the greatest game ever but it is certainly better than the over exaggerated reviews...A patch or two later on would only make it better.

Kurylo3d4436d ago

u must like mindlessly repetitive games that put u to sleep. Regaurdless if the controls or ai or gameplay all suck.

MasterD9194436d ago

I've been gaming for too long to let little issues piss me off. What game doesn't get repetitive after a while?

The controls are fine if you change the sensitivity...I'm sure you didn't so of course you say that. A patch would clear most of those issues up anyways.

I bought it and still redboxed this game first just to make sure it wasn't as horrible as people said. I ended up keeping my copy and don't regret it at all actually.

Kurylo3d4433d ago

The game is stupid... just all around.. stupid story that doesnt make sense. I mean since when can people in 1998 .. yes thats when the racoon city incident took place according to the games history... tehy had full on cloaking technology apparently... lol.. Wonder why out military isnt using that in afghanistan.. when they use it on the streets of racoon city lol...

Plus it totally ignores the desolate city and turns it into a warzone... sorry.. i didnt hear any warzone in the backround when i played through RE2... i heard an empty city filled with the undead.

ilovemyps34433d ago

Sometimes, a bit more sensitive, and a huge change occurs.

On mass effect 2, I increased the sensibility a bit, and everything was much easier, from aiming to turning,etc. I could aim much much faster, which made me change the difficulty , so enemies are even more aggressive.

This leads to much more action and suspense during my assaults.I had much more pleasure killing those bad guys, and every victory was like an achievement, in the real world.

All this, because i changed the sensibility.really.

People, whenever its possible, don't hesitate changing the sensibility settings on your games, it could make from small changes to huge differences on the gameplay.

Blitz0014436d ago

Pretty decent game, if i were objective I wouldn't give it less than a 7/10.

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.

Tross1538d ago (Edited 1538d 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.

AK911538d ago

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

Nerdmaster1538d 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.

AK911568d 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.
