The Resident Evil (RE) series has come a long way since its modest roots as a zombie survival horror game in the 90s, where it was ahead of its time and amassed a large following of gamers despite its blocky controls.

High production values; Co-op gameplay can be fun

Frustrating controls and camera; Endless boss fights; Tiresome QTEs

Resident Evil's enemies have evolved in parallel to the series' pacing: They started off slow, shambling, and scary with the first three before breaking into an all-out run by the fourth and fifth.

The four unique; intersecting plotlines; Improvements to controls; A massive amount of content

Mostly terrible boss battles; Nearly nonstop quick-time events; Running out of ammo all the time

Things don't end once you've wrapped up the campaigns though -- which total around 7 hours each. In addition to a fourth, unlockable scenario starring the sultry spy Ada Wong, you've also got The Mercenaries to devourer, along with the new Agent Hunt.

Four diverse; action-packed campaigns; Plenty of unlockable content; Great story with some surprisingly spooky moments

Poor cover system; Vehicle sections are underwhelming; Some bland visuals

Resident Evil 6 Review: After the success that Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 had in revitalizing the franchise and making it accessible to more gamers around the world, Resident Evil 6 seems like a weird move.

The gunplay and coop are still extremely solid; Large returning cast of characters from the previous games; though there are a few notable exceptions missing; Mercenaries mode is back and is still extremely fun

Poor camera and melee combat makes fighting multiple enemies difficult; The plotting of the story doesn't belong in a RE game; Agent Hunt and 4-player coop are cool ideas; but aren't fleshed out; The menus are way too deep and confusing

There's a trend with the Die Hard films. Anyone who has followed the series can tell you that the isolated, guerrilla tactics utilized by John McClane in the first film were expanded with each new installment.

Powerful cut scene moments; Captivating spectacle

Flimsy controls; No real sense of horror

When you first start playing Resident Evil 6 , it looks like it might almost be a joke, perhaps a stealthy parody of big-budget action videogames. It begins in the aftermath of an explosion, seen from a first-person perspective, and the entire introductory sequence is littered with quick-time...

For many gamers, both the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series followed similar paths. They were revolutionary when they first came out, giving us a glimpse of how amazing a survival horror title could be, with puzzle solving, fighting, odd camera angles and lots of spooky locations and monsters.

Resident Evil 6 has its shortcomings where it comes to the camera angles and the QTEs. They both can be annoying and frustrating at times but they don't ruin the experience you have when playing the game. As I said before this game is a part of the evolution of the franchise.

Capcom continues to thumb its nose at long time series fans. Not only have they abandoned any pretense of tension and fear, they've dredged up tired old storylines and shifted the game solidly into Gears of War territory. Let the series die!

Capcom's Resident Evil series used to make you afraid of things that went bump in the night. Now, it exhausts you with so many explosions that those bumps seem like a welcome reprieve.
