It's not really about survival either, the game is incredibly easy. Not much room for adventure elements, really. Pretty logical, considering the first person camera and the fact that you can control it with a light gun. The game has far less emphasis on puzzle solving than shooting than the other RE games. Graphics are fair, but not impressive compared to the other games.
Sound is pretty good from what I understand, if you use headphones, you'll be able to hear where the zombies' moaning is coming from. never really got why they make first person games for consoles, anyway). the controller isn't really made for it, and you'll miss your keyboard and mouse(well, I did. Moving is as simple and easy as any other first person console game.
If you don't have/don't want a light gun, the controller control is fine, too. This is surprisingly easy to master, and you'll wonder how you ever enjoyed a shoot-em-up game without the light gun. Control is highly entertaining with the light gun you point at the screen, you shoot, you point away, you move. but that's a small price to pay, not counting shipping. technical stuff, a censor thing, I think(and a fairly logical one at that, since the game does reward *firing a gun*)). Of course, US players will have to import this game from Europe in order to use it with a light gun(something about PAL vs. but I believe this game was the first of its kind) in combining the genres of first-person shooter and light-gun shooter. The game-play is somewhat unique(well, not anymore. There's even an attempt or two at tying this game and its story into the regular RE franchise. Not awfully interesting to me, but I'm sure most RE-fans will enjoy reading them and piecing the whole story together. The game contains tidbits of information about the other in the series, about their time-line and the events which took place. Anderson, and judging by how he paces his movies, he suffers from extreme ADD and believes that every young person today does as well), but it keeps the game fairly interesting. but hey, it did become an element of the plot in the first Resident Evil movie, so at least it made a lasting impression on Paul W.S. The story may not be terribly original(in fact, it's one of the handful or so of those stories that writers fall back on using. Because of my general dislike of the RE games, I enjoyed this game. The aiming is painfully and unnecessarily hard. The door opening animations break the intensity and lower the pace. The camera angles often work directly against you, posing more of a threat to your safety than the walking dead around you. Let me make one thing completely clear in my life, I doubt I've spent more than a few hours of gaming time playing any of the RE games. And that seems to be more than enough reason to write it completely off for many RE fans, it would seem. It just means that is less than what you'd expect from a typical Resident Evil game. Compared to the other Resident Evil games, this has poor graphics, less scary monsters, less challenging game-play and less.
