IGN:
In theory, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City had everything going for it - a great concept set in a beloved universe and a rich, compelling canon to draw from. However, this team-based shooter amounts to far less than the sum of its parts. There's a distinct difference between a franchise offshoot and a franchise bastardization. Unfortunately, Operation Raccoon City can only be defined as the latter.
GF365: "Is Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City worth playing in 2023? This game originally received less than impressive reviews from critics and gamers alike. You may be wondering what this game is all about."
game was ridiculously dark when i played it bk then. not sure about now.
ike you couldnt see a damn thing ha
Now that Resident Evil 3 remake is less than a month away, here's a look back at the other times Capcom reimagined the 1999 classic game.
The Gamer's Ghost returns in this Late in the Game Review series to revisit Raccoon City. Did Slant Six Games' premier Resident Evil title hold up to the series' standards? Or was it rotten, like the very zombies spawned from Umbrella's dastardly research?
I actually thought this was a fun game. Was it great? No. But there were some very cool moments in the game.
Stand outs were taking on the Nemesis with a group and the Tyrant on the elevator.
One if the worst games I ever had the dishonor of playing I'm glad Capcom has rebounded to making quality games now even outside the RE series.
never had high hopes for this game
glad they finally fixed the video player.
I get that some of the crappy mechanics are getting bashed, but as for the lack of creepiness, I dont see that at all. They said it themselves, its an offshoot. A team based shooter. Its not supposed to be scary, youre a bad ass special ops soldier armed to the teeth. I dont see how that would lead you to believe that this would be scary.
Just because it takes place in the RE universe does not necessarily mean it is going to be scary, even though the franchise has been established as being scary.
IGN is not holding back on these guys ruining good franchises........all is as it should be :-D
Seen this comming miles away. That's what happens when you try to turn Resident Evil into a tactical military shooter. We all knew that it wouldn't end well. I hope other devs learn from this and stop destroying great games.
Not everything has to be a modern shooter. Especially resident evil.
Rated 4 For Everyone
