Considering Killer 7, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 2 and No More Heroes are some of his top ranked games it shouldn't come as a surprise that he would review this where all that (in theory) comes together.u2rocksbaby said:
I am disappointed to hear that the difficulty was so low. I loved resident Evil 4 and No More Heroes, and Resident Evil on Pro was an exercise on my patience since I died all the time.
How long has it been since the theme song was introduced and it still gets on my tits every time. Always have to fast forward through it
"...You're saving your kidnapped girlfriend, which as the game stories go is only slightly newer than "you have to shoot the thing"..." - priceless.
I think the main problem of this game is the exact fact that it had not one famous name on its cover, but three. It's like making three chef-cooks share one kitchen, in other words: it can only end very badly for the main dish.
Suda51 is the most talented and original AAA game designer. He's so original, in fact, that it is hard to believe he makes AAA games and not indie ones. I just hope he doesn't get exploited by the suits or gets dragged to the bottom by his originality like Tim Schaefer.

Great review!
I'm surprised that Yahtzee actually enjoyed this one quite a bit.I might look it up next change I get.

For someone who supposedly likes survival horror Yahtzee really bashes the RE series a lot. They might not be the best entry into the genre, but the RE games are still better than most of the crap they've churned out in recent years.
That's how most things work actually, same with movies too. I remember my film teacher telling me that most directors never finish a movie, they just run out of time and/or budget so they just turn in what they got done so to speak. I think the same thing goes for developers.Fronzel said:
Aaaaaaaannnd this is why ZP will never be cancelled. The slumps always end with amazing shit like this. Hilarious, one of the best yet.
The game doesn't look too bad either.

Resident Evil 4 sucked. It's a real shame that someone who's a fanboy of such class acts like Silent Hill 2 likes that piece of crap as well.
I should enjoy this game, though, once it makes its way into the bargain bin.

shame this game is not available for the PC. sounds like a game you can enjoy if you have nothing better to play.
RE 4 is good??? this game is terrible. worst RE i have ever played. already the bad controls made me hate the game. thank god it was better in RE 5.

Yeah it was a different story altogether but EA was the publisher; they had to make the game more accessible and give it a "rescue captured girlfriend" story.CrazyGirl17 said:
Not that you can compare this to Dante's Inferno, not a bit. It's a fun trip, if a bit short and not much replay value.. ok there's the comparison.
Im getting this game for sure! I mean a game where you feed strawberries to demonic baby heads just can't be bad right!?
But seriously, this game looks good. If anything, It seems to be like Mirrors Edge. Play it, because you will never play anything like it ever again, or something along those lines.
