    I was very worried about picking up this game, spending 60 dollars on a title that has been hammered hard by IGN, given mediocre review by Game Informer, a good review from The Inquirer and given a glowing review from NG4/IRB Gamer.

So much inconsistency. I think it has more to do with personal preference and less with poor game design. This game, in my opinion, is one of the best incarnations of the RE franchise since RE 4. The controlls are tight and fluid, the graphics are top notch, the sound is creepy. Everything reminds me of the joys I had playing RE 2 for the first time. Scary and exciting. Do yourself a favor and give this game a try on your own accord...you won't regret it.… Expand

    Well, the first thing to keep in mind is that this game should not be considered as a game of survival horror genre, but rather as an action game and third-person shooter. I played the final version which includes some patches with significant fixes to the game.
    Graphics are ok, could be better for the year it was released but in my opinion are beautiful and the CG. also has quality.

    The setting of the game is very good. Several scenarios of Resident Evil 2 and 3 are presented in the game, but not absolutely faithfully. I missed some important scenarios of the original games and also found that there is a certain repetition environments on city streets.
    The sound of the game is ok, you can not complain. The controls respond well and the specific commands used are practical.
    The gameplay of the game is good, but the A.I. CPU has problems even after the correction patches. In strategic situations almost always you will have to solve the problem, but the CPU is not even useless, as they help in various situations. The enemies have a very basic artificial intelligence, but not enough to compromise the game. In fact, even in easy mode the game has a considerable difficulty, especially in leaders.
    The game's plot is interesting, but brings some confusion related to the main series. It seems that lacked greater care of it.
    And I can finally say that the game is really fun, especially when playing with friends. The main campaign is not so long, but it can be extended to almost double the hours with an additional DLC.    … Expand

    It is likely that you will take the advice of a professional video game critic over that of a gamer. My best advice is to look at what they are saying. Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is a truly rewarding experience that has a few rough edges that i believe are very easy to overcome. lets look at the issues in a list of dot points vs the highlights

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is a truly rewarding experience that has a few rough edges that i believe are very easy to overcome. lets look at the issues in a list of dot points vs the highlights

    1. bad AI............................. Now lets just think for a second..... THIS GAME IS A MULTI-PLAYER GAME. Why should the developers waste there time perfecting the AI when it is more then likely that there will be 4 humans playing. POINTLESS?!?
    2. The Story? once again it is a multi-player game. Why would u want a heavy storyline with long cutscenes in a game that would most likely have 4 people sitting there pressing the skip button as quick as they can? 3.The difficulty- i would say the difficulty is equal to that of resident evil 5 times 2. There are just more enemys with guns and it is easy to get overwhelmed , but your not alone anymore. The difficulty is beautiful, there is nothing more rewarding then having 3 friends with you having swarms of zombies running at you, your ammo running out. some one getting infected and having to turn on your team mates and as the number of zombies reach a lower number you start brutally melee killing them all one by one. This is very very satisfying, trust me.
    4.No charter development- if they brought six new charters in with bright personality's it would become stupidly confusing and rather annoying quite fast. These charters suit there roles. They are the best of the best, the elites that work by code names and everything is strictly business . I have come to see personality's in the charters depending on who i'm playing with. I have a wise cracking snipper and a sassy medic . This lack of charter development has allowed me to see the people im actually playing with rather then some cliche' personality.

    i assume i'm coming cross as rather a fan boy, and let me assure you that is not true. i only joined the resident evil bandwagon at number 4 and i thought number 5 was pretty tacky. there are a few problems wrong with the game but no more then a lot of games that receive great reviews. I am amazed that this game isn't getting fair 8's all round as it is a great game that is really fun and i haven't even mentioned the addicting leveling system. i would ignore the reviews you read from critics and just think about what bothers you. will bad story line bother you while 3 of you are talking over the top of it ? will bad AI effect your gaming when u have 3 humans playing with you, not coms. will the difficulty get too much for you or do u have some balls hahahha.

    I've seen a lot of reviewers be too harsh on this game. I actually love the new resident evil. It's a fun squad shooter with a bit of extra stuff thrown in, like the new side arm mechanics. The game play is really fun and interesting, with a kind of Left 4 Dead feel, has some really good "Edge of your seat" moments. It's a new concept with a good pull off, people just hate change.

The teammate A.I. is better then people seem to give credit, my friend and I role with Vector and Bertha and they both do a great job of executing what they need to. Sure, sometimes they walk straight past an enemy but that just makes you laugh. People need to just go into this game looking for fun and not a die hard Resident Evil experience.

Initially you make or break the various events that happened in re 2 & 3 so you do things like help program nemesis to go after the stars team etc. Honestly if you buy & play this game with the mind set of knowing what its meant for than you will be more than happy.Further more we get to finally play a new resident evil game with zombies back in the mix, how could anyone complain about that.Bottom line don't listen to any of the bad reviews out there as you will regret it when you end up playing it later and didn't get in on the secret hype from those who took the risk and went with there gut.… Expand

    I enjoyed the game, especially the co-op. I found that if you have auto-cover issues the problem is not with the game...it is an easy feature to get the hang of. I had no clipping issues or glitches that inhibit game play; just wished the story was longer. Faults would have to be shortness of story and clunky control scheme. 8 overall for story, graphics sound and well done multiplayer.

    Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a squad shooter based in the Resident Evil universe. That being said, it is important to note that this is not a traditional Resident Evil game.

That being said, it is important to note that this is not a traditional Resident Evil game. It seems that most reviews fail to distinguish between what they think this game "should be" and exactly what it is- It is a squad based shooter in the Resident Evil universe. I am disappointed that sites such as IGN and Gamespot have people reviewing this game as if it were Resident Evil 6 and it cut many features and is nothing like past entries. It should be new and unique as this game is a new direction for the series and it amazes me how industry "professionals" cannot understand this. I will be informative in this review and tell things how they are without bias. Now to the review!

    Resident Evil contains about 4-5 hours of a campaign that can be played privately with AI or online with random people or friends. It really shines when playing co-op with others because the AI's hiccups don't come into play. Contrary to popular discussion, the AI is not as bad as stated by many, your team members are quite active in shootouts and sticking with you. However, they do seem to have problems helping the player at different points, but this can add to the challenge instead of disappoint. I never encountered AI getting caught anywhere or falling through anything during my play through. They acted pretty much as I expected- they shot some enemies and kept me alive (for the most part). Enemy AI on the other hand is hit or miss. The spec-ops AI seems pretty solid and shootouts are fun, but zombies are hit or miss as far as AI (they are dead and dumb after all, right?). I also had some minor problems with objects/enemies clipping in and out through gameplay. This only happened a few times for me throughout different levels, but in no way took away from my play through the game.

    Multiplayer on the other hand is a bit more hectic. The different game modes offer a good mix of popular game modes such as team attack (deathmatch with points), biohazard (capture the flag or t-virus in this case), heroes (deathmatch with popular characters such as Leon and Claire), or survivor (survive until a helicopter lands with only room for 1/2 the players in game). Each game mode is fun and adds in a extra twist with zombies and B.O.W.'s appearing to mix up the squad combat. I myself will spend hours with this game mode and points earned from campaign and multiplayer play are all put into the same point pool so character/weapon upgrades apply to all different types gameplay. There's also something to be said for blasting away the zombie of a player on another team who is wandering around aimlessly. It's just plain awesome.

    The sound of Operation Raccoon City are a first in the series as gun's fill the atmosphere and when the action dies down zombies can be heard growling throughout the streets(or the occasional roar from a B.O.W.) The graphics are up to par with most game's on the PS3 or 360 at this point: character models look great but don't expect to be blown away by the environments. The graphics and sound are solid, nothing more or less.

    Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a new take on the series. Think Socom meets Left 4 Dead (without the playable zombies). That's not to say that if your a fan of one or the other your going to like Operation Raccoon City; you could absolutely hate this game. I believe that if you go into the store to buy this and know what your paying for- a squad shooter with zombies to mix up the fun- you won't be disappointed. Just know this isn't your typical RE experience and if you go into it with the expectation that this is RE:6 your going to be disappointed like others critics who failed to see what was in front of them.    … Expand

Third person shooters, first person shooters (Cod, Bf3) they have added campaigns, and they have become increasingly shorter. You don't play those games for the campaign. You play them for the multiplayer. I can say that slant six isn't the best western developer to choose for this project, but what they have done had a great premise, and the execution is no where near as horrible as all the critics are claiming. This is a 3rd person shooter based in the Resident Evil universe. It will only appeal to resident evil fans looking for a refreshing new take on the property. The reviewers are constantly focusing on the campaign of the game, assuming that upon receiving their review copies, there was no one to play with in multiplayer. What a half-assed review most of them have compiled, and bandwagoning what other review websites have said about the game. The multiplayer is as robust as it needs to be at launch, and includes the modes needed, with room for addition. They have time to add new maps, and will surely support the game after launch. Nitpicking the little things is what I have seen in all the reviews so far, and that just adds to the credibility of the reviewers themselves.. not much credibility there. I have been having a great time with multiplayer, and the small issues experienced do not hinder the game as a whole. reviewers these days just expect every game to sh!t excellence and I'm sure most of them are not even fans of the resident evil canon, in which slant six made a great effort to cater to the fans. This is a great shooter. The cover system is no where near as horrible as they make it out to be, I mean you just need to press gently to the wall you want to use for cover, as for picking up weapons and reviving teammates, just make sure the icon is displaying to perform the action. These reviewers just don't know how to play a game, simple as that. RE:ORC is a great addition to the franchise, proving that the property can be something different than survival horror with the inability to shoot while running in previous RE titles. Take it for what it is, and that is that.    … Expand

    alright ive played most of the game and here are my initial thoughts. first lets get down to combat the gameplay mechanics are overall pretty solid the guns do pretty good but the pistols are basically worthless i found my self loading about 10 pistol rounds into a zombie corpse but overall the gun play was good and up to par. the game also has a cover system which when you walk up toalright ive played most of the game and here are my initial thoughts. first lets get down to combat the gameplay mechanics are overall pretty solid the guns do pretty good but the pistols are basically worthless i found my self loading about 10 pistol rounds into a zombie corpse but overall the gun play was good and up to par. the game also has a cover system which when you walk up to cover you will automatically lean against debris(objects if you don't know what debris is) anyway the cover system is really up to the player if they like it or not. secondly lets talk about classes the character that you choose has a certain ability that can help him or her in certain situations for example vector has a cloaking ability which is very useful.im not gonna go into full detail with classes but ill just say they are all pretty good. Now lets talk about A.I personally i thought the A.i wasn't bad , yes it can be a little buggy at times but overall it gets the job done. now my final thoughts the story wasn't long so if your looking for a long campaign you wont be happy with this one the campaign is usually 5-8 hours depending on how often you die. also a fine set of multiplayer modes keep this game alive and kicking overall if your a resident evil fan pick this game up.this game receives an 8/10.… Expand

    I think the idea of this game really really cool. Control the the "bad" side for the first time. But I don't like 4 things in this new resident evil: 1- The campaign is really really short. (But the versus modes are really amazing!.)
    2- I don't like in the game you can just see in the right vision of the weapon this disrupts a lot the gameplay.
    3- I was pissed! When i knew the nemesis mode    I think the idea of this game really really cool. Control the the "bad" side for the first time. But I don't like 4 things in this new resident evil: 1- The campaign is really really short. (But the versus modes are really amazing!.)

    3- I was pissed! When i knew the nemesis mode is only for 360 players.
    4- The zombies skins are few. You sometimes feel you're playing gta: san andreas because it.

    But the game is really cool especially the online modes like: survivor and heroes mode.    … Expand

    Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a very fun and challenging game. So far I have no complaints, and think it has a good story plot with plenty of suspense. It has a lot going on with collecting intel items, to killing zombies, and following the story. All I can really say is I love it! And can't wait for Resident Evil 6!

    I signed up here just to write a review for this game; it is not bad at all as long as you know what you are getting into - this is not RE6, this is a Socom/Killzone/RE hybid. Know what you are getting into, and you will enjoy it. No, it is not perfect; sometimes the graphics are uninspired, sometimes the level design is boring, but sometmes they are very atmospheric and uniquely creepy.I signed up here just to write a review for this game; it is not bad at all as long as you know what you are getting into - this is not RE6, this is a Socom/Killzone/RE hybid.

No, it is not perfect; sometimes the graphics are uninspired, sometimes the level design is boring, but sometmes they are very atmospheric and uniquely creepy. My major beef with this game is that even though it takes place nearly 15 years ago, Capcom did nothing with the retro possibilities; it is more futuristic than retro. However, they added some really cool features to the squad combat genre; you can take zombies as bullet shields, you can make enemies bleed and be swarmed by zombies,you can become infected and turn on your squad, and the everpresent fact that you have to not only combat opposig squads, but the hoardes of undead serve as wildcards. The game would be a solid 8 if it had more levels, better graphics, and more inspired atmospheric level design, but if you like squad combat, KZ3-esque power upgrades, or just love the RE envionment and want a fresh take on it, it is worth buying used. Don't. Waste… Expand

    There is lot's of negative reviews here. This game is NOT meant to follow mainstream resident evil. You are Umbrella for God's sake in this game. You are basically the bad guy.

Good graphics, pretty decent controls, and a so-so inventory system. I just wish I could kill more people like Chris Redfield, Jill, and the others. Killing Leon was pretty fun though (he is my favorite RE character). I enjoyed this game very much. Some of the newer creatures were very creepy. Have an open mind when playing games. This one is a keeper.… Expand

    Игра конечно не шедевр, но как фанату серии зашла, если играть в коопе с друзьями, так вообще отлично можно провести время в сеттинге любимой вселенной!

    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]
