Overall I would say this game was enjoyable, although a bit disappointing. It started out great, but steadily declined. In the sixth installment of the series the story actually follows several different characters through their own individual campaigns whose stories intertwine. The campaigns in order as they appear on the menu are Leon, Chris, Jake and Ada. Leon's, Chris', and Jake's campaigns are also available in coop, and Ada's is singleplayer only.

Leon's campaign, and especially the first chapter are probably the best of the entire game and feel like a throwback to the oldschool iterations from the series. It feels circa RE2 in terms of the atmosphere, enemies and settings, but from there the game steadily declines as it branches out and focuses on the C Virus and the J'avo which just don't have the same charm that zombies do.

As the story progresses the gameplay also seems to decline as you start getting more and more Quick Time Events, which are probably one of the worst mechanics to ever be implemented into games. This culminates with terrible camera angles in the final chapter of Chris' campaign with possibly one of the worst sections of gaming I've ever had the experience of playing,..With the camera angles bad from the beginning of this section and twisting around like there is a crack addict on detox holding the camera and if you don't complete each action perfectly you die and have to repeat the entire laborious section from the beginning.

Other than the campaign, the game also offers a lot of other gamemodes, although I only tried the mercenaries modes which are basically time based/kill based combo survival. They were enjoyable. Overall I would rate the game a 7/10 as it was good, but nothing too special, if the game followed the standard set by Leon's first chapter I would have rated the game 9/10.

Game of the Year! Most fun I've had, gaming all year! Improves upon the original in everyway. The only thing that annoys me slightly is the inventory system, other than that the game seems quite well polished and very well written. There are plenty of graphical options and the game looks superb and is an improvement upon the first game graphically whilst keeping to the same artistic style.

A solid, fun hack and slash game with a few unique elements and openly supports modding (which is helpful for fixing the detractors of the game. eg. item stacking and Identifying). The only thing it really lacked was multiplayer, the 2nd installment will rectify this though, so I look forward to its release.
