Please ignore these bad reviews. This game is a Rail Shooter! Which is a light gun arcade style game, it says that in the review. If you don't like these type of games then you shouldn't buy them.

If you are a resident evil fan looking a game to brush up on the res evil story before RE5 comes out, or, you are just looking for a different way to enjoy the series, this is for you. While there is not a lot of innovative or original ideas thrown in here, it still is a top class Rail Shooter.

The story is told by Wesker who is the main villain in the Res evil world, which is great. The game covers Res evil 0, 1 and 3, unfortunately Res evil 2 was left out. There are also some new missions added, which are well tied in to the story. I cant say to much about them without ruining the story but they are fun.

The game brings a lot of fond memories back and is a welcome addition to the Res Evil collection. Cant wait for RE5!!!

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Nice shooter

It's a good shooter. Takes a while to master but gives you lots of joy! Team up with a partner and have a great evening. The only downturn is that somehow it doesn't feel smooth. Why... I couldn't tell. But it's simply no house of the dead. Nevertheless a solid shooter.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars good but not the greatest
