<\/a>Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City<\/p><\/div>\n
The game hits local retail shelves tomorrow (23 March), and is being released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. However, based on what other reviewers have had to say, we will probably be skipping this one. It\u2019s 54\/100 Metacritic, and 5.2\/10 user score aren\u2019t exactly compelling arguments to run out and buy it.<\/p>\n
Here is what reviewers have had to say so far:<\/p>\n
Destructoid<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/p>\n Raccoon City suffers from poor design and sometimes doesn’t quite seem to “get” the point of the style it wishes to emulate, but that doesn’t stop it from being a genuinely good time that should satisfy anybody looking for a hardcore romp. As a challenging rollercoaster ride through an iconic fictional catastrophe, Raccoon City provides hours of violent fun interspersed with some exasperated cries of aggravation. Read more <\/a> G4 TV<\/strong> 7\/10<\/p>\n A pedestrian title with the power of the Resident Evil series behind it…However, with a kickass multiplayer, mixed zombie\/contemporary warfare, and a high-definition view of Raccoon City’s infection, the game holds its own. Read more\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n Game Informer<\/strong> 6\/10<\/p>\n Umbrella may have filled Raccoon City with horrific creatures, but SlantSix has tainted the fabled town in its own way. It’s difficult recommending a return to Raccoon when you have to endure buggy AI, clunky gameplay, and terrible glitches like disappearing floors. Yes, on more than one occasion my friends and I had to ditch whole missions because we kept falling into an empty void.

Read more <\/a> Eurogamer<\/strong> 4.5\/10<\/p>\n Operation Raccoon City is an under-designed and under-produced nightmare, a game that delivers the bare minimum in every category and stops right there. Read more <\/a> IGN<\/strong> 4\/10<\/p>\n The terrible AI, the lackluster locations and the complete lack of atmosphere or memorable characters destroy what could have been a brilliant offshoot. In the end, Operation Raccoon City is little more than a poor man’s SOCOM, and a destitute man’s Resident Evil. Read more <\/a> Strategy Informer<\/strong> 3\/10<\/p>\n The intelligent use of horror, intensity, and most importantly, subtleness has gone. While this game is only a diversion until Resident Evil 6 arrives, Capcom have done an amazingly awful job. Resident Evil used to be the trendsetter, the series everyone looked up to, now its identity has been de-constructed in a major way. Read more <\/a><\/p>\n
