, no media loves a recurring character almost like video games. The goal of any developer console these days is not to make a great game - is the foundation of a franchise, a starting point for the suites and spin-offs. Capcom has been around longer than most, and 15 years after the Arklay mansion incident, the largest project in the history of Resident Evil 6 of society.

Aa Sounds like a bad

Straight to DVD, is not it? Resi 6 is more like a set of boxes harnessing conditioning and Die Hard, promising buyer pays extra night for several balconies reversed. Resi 6 is obsessed with delivering an experience "cinematic" action, marked by regular levels set pieces, explosions constant camera changes considerably modified and an infinite amount of near-death experiences. The eye as a director is a big part of the heritage Resident Evil, but here the focus has shifted mainly "survival horror" is now "constant action"

In some respects, this is a bad thing: Resident Evil afraid more. It will give you a few scares, enemies and monsters jumping high hidden bursting through the floor, but the days of crawling through the dark rooms are tight bottom. Resi 6 is called a run-and-gunner, always moving forward while blowing through a multitude of biological hazards. Resident Evil 5 is supported in this direction, but Resi 6 dives with two guns blazing.

The real surprise is how much there anything. Capcom focus on production values ??Resi 6 allows a victim of progress - in the shooter genre in the third person, the controls are clunkier than it should be, and it would be difficult to call one of their innovative new systems. Thus, compensation is a quad for long campaigns solo, three of which can be played in co-op.

heroes return, of course. Leon S Kennedy, last seen in Resident Evil 4, joined the campaign for the first time by the United States Helena Harper agent, and this piece of Resi 6 is supposed to provide horror. We know that can not really, but most atmospheric environments in Resi 6 are here - a trip earlier by an underground tunnel full of zombies, with trains running, gaming technology presents exquisite lighting like nothing else

things grow. At the end of the campaign was over Leon trains, piloted a helicopter, wrestled a shark took a firefight atop a skyscraper, mounted on a mine cart and a jet surfing, I'm sure I saw a kitchen sink in an explosion point. These events are everywhere, really, a little encouragement exciting and others that fall flat - the latter mainly due to too heavy an application of "Simon Says" button grapes, which is not something fun to do in the first place.

• The other two campaigns
star Chris Redfield, Stubble Straightjaw Alias, and Jake Muller, AKA White Rapper and follow a very similar pattern - move forward, fight against a group of enemies, big set pieces, rinse and repeat. One of the triumphs unskilled Resi 6 is that his shot feels great, guns packets larger and heavier recoil each shot is accompanied by a roaring sound crack. Does not hurt that the common enemy, whether it be zombies or J-Avo humanoid Backflipping are often sent by force of arms.

This is what saves Resi 6. Kinematics take control away from the player, largely between beast and then turn shiny and smooth. But most of the game is a combat system that we have known since Resi 4, adjusted and set to be a little easier to handle, and then play in cooperative mode. Co-op makes everything better, it is only one truth, and Resi 6 is designed to be played with a partner at all (although the AI ??ally has greatly improved since drinking Resi 5 Sheva article).
