    Instead of being a series savior, Dead Aim is more like Pete Rose finally admitting he bet on baseball. Too little. Too late.

    A very cool combination of gameplay elements, and the most intriguing light-gun title for a home console since Elemental Gearbolt (anyone remember that one?)

    At its core, this is the most entertaining Resident Evil game we've ever played, and easily the best use of a light gun ever. With a bigger and more focused game attached to it, this could have been a must buy classic, but instead has all the hallmarks of a classic weekend rental.

    Sorry, but the near total lack of horror in this survival horror game bored me plumb to sleep. [July 2003, p.116]

    A great game, suspense from the beginning, superior to the other RE details.

    This isn't the best RE title ever, but it's a fun game nonetheless. It plays like a first-person shooter mixed with third-person puzzle-solving. This game is very short and sometimes confusing, but it's still a really fun way to spend two hours just blasting away at the undead. This is a worthy addition to any PS2 library.… Expand

    I'm not real impressed. I'm a big Resident Evil fan and I bought a GunCon2 just for this game, but I like the game that came with the gun (Time Crisis 2) better! The in-game graphics are dull, fuzzy and repetitive. The sounds, especially the gunshot, is repetitive and not very exciting. The zombies do not react differently based on where they're shot. (This is especially disappointing, as it would have been fun to knee-cap them, or blast them in the should and see them spin around.) I've only played it an hour or so, but I plan on selling it as soon as I finish.… Collapse

    Terrible graphics, horrible story and very short lived game play. Do not buy this game, rent it, and only if you have nothing better to do than play a cheap knock off of a RE game who's programers were more interested in making a few bucks than in producing a good story with lasting value that would actually add to the RE series of great, top-notch games!… Expand
