This game is terrible. See you in the next review!
...Ugh, ok then.
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City released in 2012, and developed by Capcom and Slant Six Games. SSG shut down a year later, and this game most likely helped that.
So that's what companies are doing now? Using the name of popular franchises to sell games? NO! THIS DOES NOT DESERVE THE RESIDENT EVIL NAME. This doesn't even need to exist, seriously, why does it? The only purpose this serves is to damage the Resident Evil name. "But... but we put popular Resident Evil character Leon in the game", cheap ploys using popular characters and titles to STEAL money from gamers.
The Umbrella Security Service send out a team to Raccoon City, a team of four class-based characters to stop Dr William Birkin handing the US military his T-virus and retrieve the G-virus. Birkin has hired a group of mercenaries to make sure the deal goes through and will attack your team on site. The T-virus causes a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, and the USS have to clear any evidence of Umbrella ever being there. There is a choice ending too, whether you complete or abandon your mission, completing the mission ends in you killing Leon Kennedy, like that's the way he'd go out.
The characters suck, they're hideously acted, everything they say is cringey and over the top acting. They look so plain, they're all in black outfits and have black masks. Each character is a class, and you'll have three AI with you if you play solo. I beg you to play with others if you're gonna play it at all. The AI is God awful, they won't kill, they'll just get in your way. The best they do is distract some of the infected.
The graphics are piss-poor, this came out in 2012 yet it looks like it's from 2007. The zombies are embarrassing to look at, the huge infected at the start looks like a baby tried to draw a Tank from Left 4 Dead, the red skinned zombies look like they came from a cartoon. The controls are clunky and hardy ever respond. Picking up weapons and ammo is a chore, you'll run away thinking you grabbed a new gun, but it's still on the floor laughing at you. You can execute mercenaries or do a gut shot if you hold the grab, which is cool, but you'll be instantly frustrated with the amount of times it doesn't work.
The gun play is surprisingly ok, but here's how they fucked that you; you get about two clips of ammo, so you're constantly dry looking for more. The combat is one of the worst, zombies will take 10+ hits using it, if you hold the attack button you can execute, but I wasn't told that and figured it out at the end of the game! Being heavily damaged will cause you to bleed, meaning the zombies will come gunning for you. You can also become a zombie if you're infected and don't have any anti virus spray. Your team can also become infected, and you'll have to put them down before they turn. You can revive all downed allies quickly. There's a decent selection of guns and grenade types.
It's quite short, but the levels seem to drag, you'll bore yourself with the dull acting, eye-gouginly bad graphics and tiresome tropes. Don't even get me started on being grabbed non stop by the Lickers, seriously, what's more frustrating then being grabbed over and over on games? You can buy guns and abilities but I barely used any. There's a tacked on multiplayer that I'll be aurprsurp any even played. There's five modes I played them all with a friend and it was one of the worst multiplayer experiences I've had, I'm not even gonna go into more detail about multiplayer. This game is so bad.
It's non-canon, so what's the fucking point in it?
4.6/10
