    As a Resi game this is bad. Really bad. But if you look at it as an action game, it's actually quite good. The visuals are great and the gameplay is fluid, but it's simply not Resi anymore. I'm bordering my score between what I'd rate it as an action game and what I'd rate it as a Resi game, 8 and 4 respectively.

    It's mediocre, but not awful. It does nothing great. The exposition is clunky, in that it barely comes through in the story. The game play is pretty fun, but that's about where it ends. Each character only gets certain weapons, and there is no upgrading or choice in the matter. They were trying to tell one big, epic story but ended up with 4 pretty bland ones.

    Good, but very disappointing. The combat was great, the graphics were good, the puzzles were meh but the story was repetitive, boring, and made no sense. This might be the most disappointing Resident evil I've played. Looking back at what 4 and 5 did, this is just sad. I really have nothing to say.

    Still playing this game (and not in a good way). I got this Christmas 2012 and played it here and there and so far, 3 years later, I've finished Leon's campaign and just finished Chapter 4 of Chris's. I can say that this game is not nearly as good as any previous Resident Evil. It's very clunky. The first Resident Evil will forever be a class as well as 2 and 4 and I even loved 5!

    Still playing this game (and not in a good way). I got this Christmas 2012 and played it here and there and so far, 3 years later, I've finished Leon's campaign and just finished Chapter 4 of Chris's. I can say that this game is not nearly as good as any previous Resident Evil. It's very clunky. The first Resident Evil will forever be a class as well as 2 and 4 and I even loved 5!

    I cannot play this game in long bouts because well it's clunky and annoying. The camera angles are terrible and the responsiveness is awful. It's not that the responsiveness is really the problem, it's how the controls work with the game. It's just very awkward. Also, it's extremely hard to make it through the game without infinite ammo. There are waves and waves of zombies everywhere but I can't really do anything to them because I have no ammo yet it keeps giving me "survive the wave" and "kill all zombies" objectives. So it makes it to where it's a chore to even play the game.

    The save feature is also terrible. Like I said before, I can usually make my plays of this game about 30 minutes before I start getting angry again and never wanna finish the game. But I'm stuck playing 2-3 hours anyway just to finish a chapter. But maybe these thoughts will change whenever I unlock infinite ammo on a gun.

    I understand that survival horror is just that, conserving ammo for when it's needed and feeling like you're gonna run out of supplies but part of the classic 1st game is that there really aren't that many zombies to worry about. And they don't come in waves, and you're able to stock up before the time to use them is needed.

    Now the good things I can say about the game is the graphics and story. It's cool how everyone's story is weaved in and the cinematics are nice. I also love the UI; I thought it was very creative.

    All in all, I plan to eventually finish this game and hopefully it will be soon but playing through this game is such a chore. The first two are classic survival horror, 4 felt like Zelda with zombies, and 5, while different, still had an action game charm, but this doesn't feel anything remotely related to any of the above and will forever be the step-child of the series.

    While ultimately Resident Evil 6 isn't a bad game, it isn't quite the survival horror game it was marketed as. Featuring 4 campaigns, 2 of them feel more like a generic 3rd person shoot-em-up. The other two attempt to go the horror rout, but don't quite make the cut.

    What really seems to have gone on here is that Capcom tried to include too much - writing 4 narratives and trying to include clever tie-ins between them, rather than investing in one fantastic campaign. They tried to revamp the combat and inventory systems, but failed miserably in doing so, making the combat controls clunky and overly complex, and turning your inventory into an overly complex slide system. It didn't really play like any Resident Evil before it. While Capcom clearly thought that fans would like the more fast paced style and new options for combat, we didn't

    If you aren't already a fan of the series, start elsewhere. If you are a fan, you may find some level of joy in playing this game, at least to say that you made it through.

So let me start out by mentioning that it is currently 2015 and this game was such a slimy turd that I still feel compelled to get things off of my chest regarding this travesty... first a set up: by happenstance I stumbled upon this review and noticed that many(though not all) positive reviews particularly those who chose to give the game 10/10 rating stated that they were doing so to negate the many negative reviews. I was flummoxed by the thought some one could be such an apologist for a product that they felt that had to defend it as if was a bullied child...any way.... I want to say that I really tried and will continue to try to not judge the game for what it isnt, its not survival horror and did not try to be; so although as a fan of RE4 and to a lesser extent RE5, I woundn't judge it for being a slap in the face to fans of the slower paced but more tense and rewarding survival horrorish type style....

    This is/was a video game version of a Micheal Bay graphically brilliant but **** show in every other aspect possible. the story is a convoluted mess, character development not present, and garbage voice acting...I can forgive that as it was some what expected at the time of purchase..... what I cannot abide by is the awful game play which was a obscene copulation of BLACK(xbox 360)+Dystany warriors(take your pick they're all the same) and Drake of the 99 Dragons( XBOX). the player has near invincibility, you can just about pull the ol' superman slap-a-ho routine and easily defeat 90% of enemies, there is no strategy needed as ammo is so prevalent that you can barn blast without consequence, and but of course... the camera sucks....elderly wrinkled testes.

    the game had a decent idea with 3 separate story lines which were to converge later in the game, but the game play was so non-varied and repetitive that the idea never really took off, the level design was pretty lame as well. I reference the uninspired train battle in witch you fight a mutant dog type thing, defeat it and then i turns into monthra....awesome.....or how about the snow level where a single hit sends you sliding all the way down long but very gradual slope ... just like a real bad ass zombie/monster slayer would in real life....

    this game gets a 1 due to the fact the graphics were nice, the Xbox did recognize the disk, and the comic relief that me and my cousin had laughing about how bad I had just gotten fleeced.... this game blew and deserved every score less than 3.....ok I'm done.....

    Resident Evil 6 is an "everything but the kitchen sink" sequel. Capcom packed it to the gills with multiple campaigns, modes and several features. This is also the most polarizing RE entry since it's basically an action game. Purists will hate it, but more forgiving fans should enjoy the ride. I would rate this with a 7.4 out of 10.

Além disso, as quatro campanhas do game não fizeram feio, apresentando uma campanha do Leon(focada nos zumbis e numa nostalgia do Resident Evil 2 misturada com o 4), uma campanha do Chris(focada nos J'avo e numa perspectiva mais próxima do Resident Evil 5, com mais cenas de ação), uma campanha do Jake(que possui grandes inspirações de Resident Evil 3, com um inimigo semelhante ao Nemesis, que o persegue durante a campanha inteira) e por último, a campanha da Ada(que lembra o Separate Ways de Resident Evil 4). Todas as campanhas se interligam, o que traz novas perspectivas sobre diferentes personagens com os quais jogamos. Os personagens novos introduzidos não são tão memoráveis, mas cumprem bem o seu devido papel.
    Por mais que Resident Evil 6 esteja bem longe do que os fãs desejam, e se torne muito mais um game de ação do que sobrevivência, não é uma obra prima quanto seus antecessores(e pode estar bem longe disso), mas ainda sim merece ser jogado- pelo menos por aqueles que gostam da franquia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played through all four main campaigns, but not out of fun but more out of my will to search for the good. Sadly, all this game did for me is make me want to play Resident Evil 4 again, which I immediately did, twice. I absolutely love Resident Evil 4, so the problem of Resident Evil 6 is not it being less survival horror than action. It is the game itself. Frustrating unrealistic leaping zombies (although oddly only in Leons/Helenas campaign), way too much focus on close combat, though it looking fancy, frustrating QTE and cheap deaths with trial and error, horrible camera at times, even cheesier dialogue than RE4, way too long (only a problem if not enjoyed), tons of "variety" in gampelay that feel minimalistic and poorly executed (like stealth, diving, flying a chopper or fighting jet, you name it). For me, this is the prime example of Quantity over quality when it comes to game modes. Sometimes, less is more. But there is more criticism. Awkward inventory and also too little inventory space (same as in RE5 but without the inventory outside of missions where you can safe stuff). That made me not use half of the weapons I owned, cause I had to decide which ammo to grab, which kills the fun for me. But wait, there is more: bosses that drag on way too much (for example Simmons with way too many phases), unsatisfying feeling of shooting enemies (they sponge the bullets, barely flinch and get reduced to weird black goo when killed) and awkward controls in general as well as unsatisfying upgrade system (not like in RE4 and RE5 with weapons to upgrade but just general upgrades like more damage to that type of enemy, etc. In addition, points are very scarce) I played through all four campaigns and only had like 4 abilities maxed out out of maybe 30. That was the major bad stuff that comes up to my mind right now. There is good tho too, but very little. I liked some of the cutscenes, although the game relies too much on hollywood explosions, combat animations were sometimes cool to look at. The HUD was pretty neat and visually changed with every character. Visually, the game is pretty decent too and sometimes it was fun, when having enough ammo and shooting your way through. Areas like the graveyard shine in atmosphere too but sadly are ruined through points mentioned above. Overall, sadly not to be recommended. One very rare occasion where I pick the game from my shelf and actually get rid of it after playing, never did this before. The combination of unsatisfying experience and too long duration makes this game for me personally unrecommandable, therefore the score of 5/10, since I partially enjoyed it, but definetly not enough to rate it above an average/ok game. I played solo, maybe its more fun with a friend but I dont see myself finishing it with a friend cause of its about 20-30 hours of gameplay. Maybe I will try it out but most likely, I will get rid of it. Expand

    There is some things I would change with the game such as the story aspect. Leon & Helena should have been the main story of the game. Jake & sherry was unenjoyable because Jake Muller is the worst character in all of Resident Evil history, even a NPC is better. Chris & Piers storyline was okay but didn't add much to the game.

    Resident Evil 6 has the best mechanics of any game in the series and feels fluid to play and its a shame people hated it. If you have not played this one I strongly recommend to do so.

    But for me, this is a good game, maybe because I played it a lot when I was younger, but even when I was older I liked the game.
    Even though it departs a little from the survival horror proposal and goes more towards an action side, I liked the game, it's clearly not one of the best for me, but the story I don't think is bad, I like the protagonists, and it's a lot of fun, especially playing in co-op with a friend.
    Perhaps what made me like the game was not having completed the campaigns alone, but with a friend.
    However, I cannot say that it is a very good game either, I admit that it is very disappointing in relation to the others, but for me it is special.
    But I don't like everything about the game, as I said before the story is weak, and the game is full of bugs that disturb the gameplay, and the enemies are more of the same, it seems that they simply copied some enemies from re4 and re5 and played in re6. The movement is strange, and in certain missions in which your objective is to escape from a monster, changing the camera is very annoying!
    But otherwise, it's a game that I like, and that made my childhood.

    A varied and challenging game that continues the series' evolution into action territory. IT can be incredibly frustrating at times, but also very rewarding when you finally overcome the many challenges it puts you through.
