This was one of the most challenging games I've played in a while. It has clever puzzles, and an excellent story too boot. The DVD style game play allows you to skip sequences if needed, and go back too it later.The controls are NOT difficult, just require a bit of time to adjust. FANS of original RE games will feel right at home with the controls.
There have been some mixed reviews about this game, some of which are crazy! the controls of this game are difficult at first, but are learned with time. it controls much like silent hill 4(if this helps). The story is neat, while the graphics are impressive. the sound track is very elemental to the game, but you may have to crank your sound system up just to hear anything(wierd, to say the least). This is much more of an action oriented game, by far not a "horror" title. None the less, if you are looking for a challenging and entertaining game, pick this up. On a side not, if you find heath sprays hard to obtain, search car's glove boxes, as you will find one in ABOUT every car.
