Platform: PLAYSTATION 3

Manufacturer's Description

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third-person team-based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe. Not only does this setting provide a rich backdrop to the action but it also delivers a unique and brutal triple-threat battle. Zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W.s) add to the mix as players compete against their team’s opposing squad and tackle this third, unpredictable element that could only exist in the twisted Resident Evil universe.

The result is a brand new style of gameplay that breaks the conventions of traditional third person shooters. It is September 1998 and the action centres on the ill-fated Raccoon City. When the Umbrella Corporation learns that one of its top scientists, Dr. William Birkin, plans to sell the experimental G-Virus to the US Government they order an elite team of Umbrella Security Service (USS) soldiers led by Hunk into their secret research facility to secure the only known sample of the virus. The operation takes a turn for the worse when Dr. Birkin injects himself with the last vial, mutating into a deadly creature, G-Birkin and over powering the team. During the battle the deadly ‘t-Virus’ is leaked into the sewers and spread through Raccoon City, infecting the entire population.

Hearing of the outbreak, the USS team is given fresh orders to destroy all evidence of Umbrella’s involvement and silence anyone that might discover the truth. The Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure service (UBCS) is also deployed to help contain the situation. Meanwhile the US Government has quarantined the city and dispatched its own team of special operatives to determine the source of the mysterious outbreak. Caught up in the chaos are rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Soldier (U.S.S) and battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City. Choose from six characters,each one equipped with a unique skill set, including the female field scientist Four-Eyes who can manipulate the T-virus and take control of the B.O.W’s raiding the streets of Raccoon City or the weapons expert and U.S.S team captain Lupo.

Features:

  • Team based shooter set in the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe.
  • Triple threat battle as zombies and B.O.W’s add to the action.
  • Return of favourite RE enemies, including Hunters, Tyrants and the Nemesis.
  • Risk infection from the hordes of zombies, zombie dogs and lickers. Fight to survive with anti-viral sprays, your character’s special skills or help from field scientist Bertha before your character’s condition worsens, turning you into a violent zombie who will attack your own team members.
  • Compete with up to three friends as an Umbrella Security Service squad member in Campaign mode.
  • Choose from six U.S.S characters, each with their own unique skill set and roles.
  • Rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak. Destroy all evidence of Umbrella’s involvement at the City Hall and discover UBCS operative Nicholai Ginovaef’s true intentions.
  • Explore Raccoon City, collecting evidence and intel to report back to Umbrella command.
  • Competitive online multiplayer modes provide a unique gaming experience thanks to the three corner combat between the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Ops and threat of zombies and B.O.W’s.

Product Description

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. The setting of the Resident Evil universe not only provides a rich backdrop to the action but delivers a unique and thrilling triple threat battle. Zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W's) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional team based shooters.

It is September 1998 and the action centres once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella's actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favourite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak.

Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3
Fun:   
I was really looking forward to this game. I pre-ordered it back in December. I've been playing it since I arrived home from the store with it and I am incredibly disappointed.

The first thing is that Capcom may have its name on this game (and in retrospect may wish they hadn't), it is in fact the offspring of a company called Slant Six. I am informed that Slant Six has been responsible for some of the worst games available.

It is a team based game, but you can play it alone if you really want to put yourself through it. If you do play solo then you get a team of semi-useless AI characters. It is possible to complete the game this way, but it isn't easy. Yes it is a little better as a multiplayer, but not much.

The "story" takes place during the time frame of Resi 2 and 3.

You start off with the "Wolfpack". Remember them, the team that went in with Hunk (the Grim Reaper) to recover the G-virus that Birkin was going to hand over to the US government and was wiped out by the G-Birkin, the only known survivor being team leader Hunk himself. Sadly, you can't play Hunk himself; you are just one of the team. All of that is Resi Law it's in RE2 - Leon and Clare go running round Raccoon City and run into Ada and the Birkins, and a lot of zombies.

It should have been interesting, the whole story from the Umbrella side - like with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles where the whole story was told through Albert Wesker's eyes. In this case there was no story, not even the old ones to follow through - even in what should have been the story mode.

Game choices are casual, normal, veteran and professional, but game play is appalling (regardless of multiplayer or solo play). There are a lot of bugs, and I do mean a LOT of them.

I took cover behind a barrier (as prompted) and the guards (human beings, not zombies) could still shoot me and those with me.

I tossed grenades in the enemy's direction and they never went off.

You can only carry 2 weapons - hand gun and one other, and you cannot pick up or store ammunition for later use. Not that it really matters as you can have an enemy dead-to-rights and suddenly find you're shooting at the ceiling or the gun targeting is travelling upwards or sideways away from what you're trying to kill. Auto targeting is even worse - it doesn't lock on to the enemy.

We had cleared an area of enemies/zombies and suddenly there was a spawn and dozens more appeared out of no-where surrounding us.

I was trying to get round behind the Boss and suddenly found that I couldn't move. This also happened in general play when several of us could be heard screaming abuse at the game as our AI became stuck in one place for no particular reason.

Worse is the fact that any AI comrades in your team are dire. When they are wounded, you have to chase around after them in order to use a health spray on yourself and one of them. Also there are a number of green health herbs you can use (but the AIs won't come near you so you can't heal them too) and you cannot collect them for later use.

.
Please CapCom, I beg you, don't hand over control to Slant Six again. They obviously don't have a clue.

This game is so bad, I'm left questioning whether or not to cancel my Resident Evil 6 pre-order, especially if it is to be another team/multiplayer only game.

As a fan I would like you to relaunch the previous games, up-grade them and give us all a treat for our PS3s. They've done it with Tomb Raider and Silent Hill and you did it for the Wii with RE0, RE, RE:UC and RE:DC. As a fan I've handed over my hard earned cash for them without a second thought and would do the same for the RE series on PS3.

Please listen to your fans, before you ruin this well loved franchise completely.

A big let down 4 April 2012
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
I wasn't expecting a fantastic game when I pre-ordered this, but I was expecting something fun and enjoyable. Unfortunately me and my husband were disappointed as soon as we started playing. We took it in turns, doing a level each, and then after a few levels just got bored and switched it off. After a couple of days we just traded it in because we could not be bothered to pick it back up again.

I think this might have been more enjoyable if it had been a 2 player co-op, like Resi 5, but even that wouldn't have helped much. It has no atmosphere, and the story line is not involving like the other resi games. As a shooter it is poor - the AI of your team mates is pathetic, and they often get stuck in graphics, or just get left behind. I had to run back down several corridors at one point to get a team mate back. He were just staring at a wall. It is very buggy, which gets annoying quickly, and at times I had to restart check points to progress in the game.

Overall my main problem with this game is that is just doesn't deliver what I had hoped for. I would advise renting, or purchasing when it is at a much lower price.

Poor show 2 April 2012
Platform for Display:PLAYSTATION 3|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:   
I have been a resident evil fan since I first played it on the PS1. I rate the game due to repetitiveness and difficulty of the first half an hour. I am a casual gamer and found the whole playability side of it to difficult to want to pursue. The game play just seemed like a second rate shooter and felt it had very little connection to the atmosphere a good resident evil game should have.maybe I should of persevered but that's not my idea of gaming .
