    Rather than giving video game fans what they want or ignoring video game fans and just doing what Paul W.S. Anderson wants, it seems like the team behind Infinite Darkness just disregarded everybody and found some room in the Resident Evil canon where they could tell a story about government conspiracies and zombie-related PTSD and lovable pretty boy Leon Kennedy. ... But freeing itself from those expectations has resulted in a TV show that, while far from a masterpiece, exceeds most expectations of a video game adaptation.

    There’s a lot to dig in here in how Americanized propaganda finds itself even in Japanese-made survival horror franchises, and how China is consistently portrayed as a squalid hive of villains, but Infinite Darkness has a barrier to entry due to its heavy reliance on a preexisting investment in the greater Resident Evil series.

    Infinite Darkness is doing its own thing. Unfortunately, that thing isn’t terribly compelling, given all the study prep Infinite Darkness expects viewers to do.

    So incredibly rushed, so incredibly boring, so incredibly pointless. This has failed in all fronts. The few references to re4 were nice,  butSo incredibly rushed, so incredibly boring, so incredibly pointless. This has failed in all fronts. The few references to re4 were nice,  but with 4 episodes each 25 min long it’s hard not to feel like this entire story was rushed and should have been longer. So disappointed. Claire is barely even In this thing. I just can’t believe how let down I was by this… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Plot and writing and action in this show are terrible, although the graphics were good and the voice acting too , i would very much to return return Osmund Saddler and Los iluminados cultists.
    This leon has long been terribly bored, of hoping he will be killed later in the story. Absolutely terrible boring characters were added and for some reason they added this ugly president from re4.    … Full Review »
