    As it turns out-It IS that bad, unfortunately. There is a really interesting premise here, but it isn't handled well.

    The levels you do see from the previous games don't quite look the same. And they will be crawling with enemies. I can understand that they didn't intend to make a horror game, but as a shooting game it still doesn't work. Even the best guns aren't accurate and can take half of your ammunition just to get by two zombies.

    Definitely not worth playing through, even for the biggest RE fans.    … Expand

    *SOUND*: The only section where this game meets. It doesn't stand out at all, but it doesn't do anything wrong.

    *INNOVATION*: Operation Raccoon City tries to get into another type of video game for the saga, but it is a disaster with capital letters that offers nothing new or interesting.    … Expand

    Worst Resident Evil game I have ever played! It's so bad that I don't wanna give it a proper review on Metacritic. Despite this, I will give Operation Raccoon City a fighting chance by talking about the pros of this game before we send this abomination back to the depths of hell.

    What is good about this game...
    - Each character you play as has their own special abilities and perks. Some of these abilities and perks prove better in certain situations, giving each character their own uniqueness.
    - The missions in campaign in terms of scenery and area are designed pretty well. Say what you want, but it does feel like a city when you walk around on the streets, especially when you see the tons & tons of zombies coming after you.
    - The Versus mode - PvP maps are also designed well. There is just the right amount of space for all 8 players to work with, and when 8 player games happen it gets chaotic.

    Mixed Feelings that don't quite hit positive or negative...
    - It takes a lot of ammo to kill a Hunter even when working as a team. In Campaign mode it may not be a problem for some, but in PvP it's constant harassment for all.
    - There are no single player modes in this game.

    Now it is time to "destroy" this game, something everyone was waiting for...
    - DLC: If you download any, and your friends don't, you cannot play with them any more.
    - There is a heavy variety of weapons to choose from, but is ultimately pointless! The only weapons you'll ever need in this game are the Samurai Edge, and a Shotgun of your choice -- that's it!
    - The game will crash at the most random times, and there's no way to avoid it. One time I turned on the game and it crashed right on the title screen.
    - Invisible enemy bug: one time my friends and I had to fight an invisible Hunter mob, only for the game to crash at Mr. X.
    - Lack of enemy variety for the amount of killing you have to do. You are shooting the same enemies over and over again.
    - Laggy frame rates during cut-scenes, and some scenes are just pointless filler.
    - Campaign is only 4 hours long...
    - Game was priced at $60 at time of it's release. A $60 value for only a 4 hour campaign.

    As you can see, the negatives far overlap the positives to the point where the game is a disaster. Operation Raccoon City should have started in the bargain bin at release rather than the shiny glass display cabinet. I have it sitting on my shelf right now collecting dust, and that's probably where it's going to be for the rest of it's days. If you see this game in the stores, resist all temptation to buy. You'll get more for your money spending it at fast-food, or buy that special special someone a present over buying this game.    … Expand

If you think multiplayer is gonna save this game then you're wrong the same problems occur in mutiplayer even though they are some pretty cool game modes like heroes it got me only playing for a few minutes.

    ORC is simply too shooter-oriented to even count as a Resident Evil game, but at the same time too low in quality to compete with other third-person shooters. While a few in-game features showed some promise, the game is overall infected with poor AI, bland game-play, flat and unmemorable characters, and an exceedingly short storyline.

    Probably the worst Resident Evil game I've played to date. The game lacks any kind of character and the gameplay can be downright frustrating when relying on the ridiculously bad AI partners. The lack of split screen is also a huge flaw as this is a team based shooter. Pass this one up.

    1. This game is obviously one big scam. The campaign lasts about 3 hours total, the DLC campaign which costs $20, lasts 4 hours. So most of the campaign is DLC, and you get less gameplay per dollar when you buy the game at $60. Not only that some of the DLC includes adding a grenade launcher to the verses mode, making verses mode unfair for those who don't want to pay another $10 or so for guns that should be in the game to begin with. 2. The AI is probably the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. Constantly throwing grenades off the wall and hitting you, running into trip mines, getting in your way by always knifing every enemy. Eventually I found it beneficial to just kill them and not revive them because they are such a pain in the ass. 3. Verses mode is the most unbalanced multiplayer I have ever seen. Basically to win you play as Assault class. Assault class gets super soldier = Good Game, whereas scientist gets program infected = useless as **** I found many moments where the game lags to no end, teleporting to the other side of the map somehow and getting killed by a zombie, DC out of a game. 4. The weapons are absolutely horrible. A head shot with a sniper rifle isn't an instant kill, since the beginning of time a shot to the head means you are dead, especially with a sniper (BOOM HEADSHOT). The shotgun does not cause any knock back. If I shot someone with a shotgun, I would expect them to fall on their ass like in re4 and re5, not take it like a boss and jump into it and hit me, like the hunters do. 5. Other than the zombies, you can't seem to tell if you are actually doing damage to enemies. There are fewer boss fights in the main campaign than DLC campaign... 6. A large majority of the enemies are PEOPLE WITH GUNS. The first god damn campaign has only william birkin and 2 dogs as infected enemies, the rest is spec ops who for some reason want you dead. 7. No one gives a **** about any of the characters you play as.

    If you play the game the rest will just present itself. This gets a 0/10 for having no redeeming qualities.    … Expand

The co-op was a welcome addition, but only made a small dent in the unreliable gunplay and melee mechanics. Many bosses were almost insurmountable in difficulty, even at the lower levels, and none of the enemies required more than a "shoot until it's dead" mentality.

Slant Six Games (responsible for three Socom games) under publishing of Capcom have decided that it would be wise to discard the intense formula of releases like Resident Evil 4, and the nail biting atmosphere of classics like Resident Evil 2 and replace it with a water downed vibe of Call of Duty and a horrid 3rd person shooter in the vein of Uncharted. The game tries to convince us it will be a trip down memory lane, taking place throughout the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3, both being a beloved time in the series. Our hearts are broken instantly as we discover this game is nothing more than a shooter with zero tension, zero atmosphere, zero scares, zero weight, and zero character. At first glance the concept is great. We play as members of Umbrella this time around, and admits the chaos we try desperately to wash the blood of Raccoon City off our hands with bullets and grenades. Umbrella is out to cover their tracks and along the way you will meet characters and creatures of the series golden age, as well as see the famous story from a new and dark point of view. Sound interesting? Indeed it does, and this is half of what makes the game such a failure. While newer and younger fans of the series may eat this game up as an action title, it is only because they are unaware of what a huge step backwards this game is from any ounce of genius that the series originally had. The story is bland and a down ridiculously written cliched mess with laughable dialogue, dumb witted characters, and any kind of well placed pacing is no where to be found. The environments are boring, the enemies are re hashed countless times and bosses just don't have that final tweak that made them icons once upon a time. Aside from the problems Slant Six made to the series and genre, problems are littered within the gameplay as well. The cover system is a joke and often can simply not be relied on. It is very inconstant as their is no button command to enter it, instead just running towards an object throws you into cover rather its what you wanted or not. AI is non existent, enemies will poke their head out right into fire, they will dive into live grenades, and creatures will sometimes attack you and then run from you for no reason whatsoever causing you to chase them down. How can you fear lickers and hunters when your doing the chasing? Enemy killing is very frustrating, some enemies go out in one hit, while others are sponges soaking up twenty bullets or more easily. The game pretends to be co op but honestly with such bad team AI you almost have no choice but to play online with someone. This game feels as if it was meant for online play but suffers there as well. Its Call of Duty formula falls flat on its face due to the fact that the controls are so messy and the level up system is so dirt simple and quick that there is no feeling of reward. You are able to choose which Umbrella member you wish to play as between each mission, but it doesn't matter as each play exactly the same. The only difference being the range of their weapon, which some register completely useless. Raccoon City gets nothing correct in its delivery, and even manages to feel unfinished upon completion. It is an obvious quicky cash in from top to bottom and provides nothing fresh to Resident Evil or the genre of shooters. If you can remember games like Resident Evil: Dead Aim that you may find it laughable to know that it actually out shines this one, and if I had to recommend this game to any kind of player I dont think I could. Its too frustrating for casual players, and too down right bland for hardcore gamers, and just simply too out of sync with the franchise to interest fans. So I guess if I was forced to recommend this it would be to annoyance tolerating non Resident Evil fan gamers. The nostalgia we were promised is not here, the return of horror is not here, the return of icons like Nemesis fall flat on its face and is topped off with the destruction of even the series most likeable characters such as Leon Kennedy. If they were trying to piss off fans this product could be unchanged and do a great job at just that. As Umbrella tries to burn the evidence linking them to the T-Virus outbreak, Capcom should be out there burning all evidence showing that they were behind this game in any way.… Expand

Há alguns problemas como a ausência de uma virada 180º de forma simples ou o combate corpo-a-corpo ser um tanto quanto estranho quando são dois jogadores se enfrentando. Mas são problemas mínimos.… Expand

    Resident evil- raccoon city review (no spoilers)
    well first off i have only put a few hours into raccoon city and i already have an idea of how bad this game is and a reason or two to why it messed up. Capcom have created some of the best games in the past decade, the resident evil games, dead rising, street fighter and so on, but recently they've become lazy like turning resident evil's    Resident evil- raccoon city review (no spoilers)
    well first off i have only put a few hours into raccoon city and i already have an idea of how bad this game is and a reason or two to why it messed up. Capcom have created some of the best games in the past decade, the resident evil games, dead rising, street fighter and so on, but recently they've become lazy like turning resident evil's genre and by making raccoon city. I hope raccoon city is only this bad because the made it just to calm down the people waiting for the new resi evil. Anyway on to my review.

    the graphics are quite good, not once has the screen rate dropped or areas gone all fuzzy, and to be honest thats the only good i can draw from the game. Also one of the characters, bertha, is constantly healing you because shes the medic but she heals no one else which is stupid.

    Now to the bad sides, i dont know if its because if using the hardest difficulty but it can take anywhere from just under one mag to 3 magazines to kill an enemy. once i was shooting at an enemy missing an arm and it took two mags. the games engine cant take much, you cant go into cover while reloading and theres no need for cover and you can still be shot while in cover. grenades bare effect the enemies and it feels like its trying to focus you on the story, which isnt that good anyway, because the main game play is moving from one firefight to another. and finnaly the ai is the worst, they will walk up right next to the enemy and get loaded with bullets and are constantly dieing, they also get in your way, some times in the middle of a firefight and are really of no help.

    id give this game a 4/10, the box art is good to look at but not worth a buy.    … Expand

    Slant Six is absolute trash. Nuff said. I lost what little respect I had left for capcom the day i learned they actually decided to let them make the game after their other massive failure.

    I never thought I'd find a RE game worse than RE5 but it seems I finally have.

    A team based Resident Evil that works alright when playing with other humans. But as a whole it's just not a very good game.

    It's not enough to save Operation Raccoon City though, which ultimately is a title that feels too rushed to warrant any great investment on the part of the player. That it's sold in such high numbers (at time of writing it's number one in Japan) says a lot about the strength of the Resident Evil brand which, if ORC is anything to go by, is in danger of being fatally diluted.

    Cynical, franchise-exploiting pump that Resi devotees should collectively ignore. [Issue#217, p.73]
