It is September 1998 and the action centers 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 (U.S.S.) 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.

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 focuses on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of its involvement.

1.0 out of 5 stars Went in with low exepectations, not low enough. June 29, 2012

This game should have been the Home Ec. of video games: an incredibly easy A; something you had to try exceptionally hard to get wrong. Congratulations, gentleman. If your goal was to fail a gimme, success.

The bottom line: the game play mechanics are broken. It's not even the incredibly bad AI people have pointed out in other reviews, the game simply doesn't work. It's a bunch of pieces mashed together that make little sense.

Not a game even worth borrowing. Do yourself a favor and don't ruin the series for you. Consider this comparable to the disappointing sadness that we all felt from the Mario Bros. live action movie.

I am seriously considering banning a household ban of purchases of any game made by anyone directly involved in the design of this game.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful March 31, 2012

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   

This game I had high hopes after seeing it revealed, seeing it as a combination of resident evil and ghost recon game play mechanics but when I played this game it was easily topping one of the worst games I have ever played. Choppy animations, graphics being on par with the PS2, story almost completely lacking, characters with the personality of a rock, entirely to dark environments, complete linear paths, some of the worse AI ever utilized in a game for both enemies and allies. And the list can go on and on but I'm starting to feel like I'm playing this game again which is now collecting dust in my closet and now I'm feeling suicidal tendencies, now I must go and find a local priest to perform a exorcism on this game in hopes of getting the demon out of it that causes me such misery. You have been warned...

Seems like Capcom put little if at all any effort into RC. Doesn't keep up with modern zombie shooters or even that of the other RE games. If you want to mindlessly run through levels bludgeoning through zombies with underpowered weapons to a point that it gets tedious beyond the second mission this is the game for you.
