So much inconsistency. I think it has more to do with personal preference and less with poor game design. This game, in my opinion, is one of the best incarnations of the RE franchise since RE 4. The controlls are tight and fluid, the graphics are top notch, the sound is creepy. Everything reminds me of the joys I had playing RE 2 for the first time. Scary and exciting. Do yourself a favor and give this game a try on your own accord...you won't regret it.… Expand

   I signed up here just to write a review for this game; it is not bad at all as long as you know what you are getting into - this is not RE6,I signed up here just to write a review for this game; it is not bad at all as long as you know what you are getting into - this is not RE6, this is a Socom/Killzone/RE hybid. Know what you are getting into, and you will enjoy it. No, it is not perfect; sometimes the graphics are uninspired, sometimes the level design is boring, but sometmes they are very atmospheric and uniquely creepy. My major beef with this game is that even though it takes place nearly 15 years ago, Capcom did nothing with the retro possibilities; it is more futuristic than retro. However, they added some really cool features to the squad combat genre; you can take zombies as bullet shields, you can make enemies bleed and be swarmed by zombies,you can become infected and turn on your squad, and the everpresent fact that you have to not only combat opposig squads, but the hoardes of undead serve as wildcards. The game would be a solid 8 if it had more levels, better graphics, and more inspired atmospheric level design, but if you like squad combat, KZ3-esque power upgrades, or just love the RE envionment and want a fresh take on it, it is worth buying used. Don't. Waste… Expand

This game has it's failings, but the experience for me has been pretty fun thus far. Yes, the AI is terrible and the single player mode is awful. However, the multiplayer is incredibly fun once you get acquainted with the various modes and play styles. People on the fence should give it a try for themselves before passing judgement.… Expand

   Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, along with the infamous RE Survivor 2 and Umbrella Corps, represents everything a game of this sagaResident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, along with the infamous RE Survivor 2 and Umbrella Corps, represents everything a game of this saga should not make.
   An impressively generic and bad video game.
   
   *STORY*: Members of Umbrella's security forces have a mission to eliminate all evidence of the disaster caused by the T virus and kill the survivors of the Raccoon City incident.
   
   Uninteresting, generic characters and history that for obvious reasons is not "canon" (and thank goodness it is not, often ogre).
   
   *GAMEPLAY*: Operation Raccoon City has a correct base, but very little polished and quite inferior to its direct rivals in this type of playable mechanics.
   
   *GRAPHICS*: This Resident Evil delivery is graphically justified, but what kills her is her generic artistic direction.
   
   *SOUND*: The only section where this game meets. It doesn't stand out at all, but it doesn't do anything wrong.
   
   *INNOVATION*: Operation Raccoon City tries to get into another type of video game for the saga, but it is a disaster with capital letters that offers nothing new or interesting.… Expand

   This might be the worst PS3 game I have ever played. This game makes Resident evil 6 look good. The number of flaws in this game isThis might be the worst PS3 game I have ever played. This game makes Resident evil 6 look good. The number of flaws in this game is uncountable, so I am going to list the ones that really pissed me off the most.
   
   1. This game is obviously one big scam. The campaign lasts about 3 hours total, the DLC campaign which costs $20, lasts 4 hours. So most of the campaign is DLC, and you get less gameplay per dollar when you buy the game at $60. Not only that some of the DLC includes adding a grenade launcher to the verses mode, making verses mode unfair for those who don't want to pay another $10 or so for guns that should be in the game to begin with. 2. The AI is probably the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. Constantly throwing grenades off the wall and hitting you, running into trip mines, getting in your way by always knifing every enemy. Eventually I found it beneficial to just kill them and not revive them because they are such a pain in the ass. 3. Verses mode is the most unbalanced multiplayer I have ever seen. Basically to win you play as Assault class. Assault class gets super soldier = Good Game, whereas scientist gets program infected = useless as **** I found many moments where the game lags to no end, teleporting to the other side of the map somehow and getting killed by a zombie, DC out of a game. 4. The weapons are absolutely horrible. A head shot with a sniper rifle isn't an instant kill, since the beginning of time a shot to the head means you are dead, especially with a sniper (BOOM HEADSHOT). The shotgun does not cause any knock back. If I shot someone with a shotgun, I would expect them to fall on their ass like in re4 and re5, not take it like a boss and jump into it and hit me, like the hunters do. 5. Other than the zombies, you can't seem to tell if you are actually doing damage to enemies. There are fewer boss fights in the main campaign than DLC campaign... 6. A large majority of the enemies are PEOPLE WITH GUNS. The first god damn campaign has only william birkin and 2 dogs as infected enemies, the rest is spec ops who for some reason want you dead. 7. No one gives a **** about any of the characters you play as.
   
   If you play the game the rest will just present itself. This gets a 0/10 for having no redeeming qualities.… Expand
