Storyline

- TriviaThere are several Easter eggs referring to earlier Resident Evil games. The first time you see a Haunted in the game (Conelly) plays out exactly as when you encounter the first zombie in the original Resident Evil. Also, the mansion is very similar to the original Resident Evil mansion.

Joseph Oda: Sebastian, you ever had the urge to just jump... when you're on a high place, or the subway rolls by... Imagine if you had that urge for a minute straight. Then two minutes...

For some reference, my favorite video game of all time is probably Silent Hill 2, a game most Survival Horror fans consider to be the greatest game of all time. I played Downpour and enjoyed it, and also loved Resident Evil 4. Almost every other excursion of mine into this genre ended in frustration; the controls and difficulty left me saying "Screw it, I'll just go watch a horror flick."
I had trepidation with this game, to say the least. However, I'm here to tell you that, if you're like me and have trouble getting into this genre (for any reason at all), you should still give this one a shot. The atmosphere, characters, story and enemy and level designs are ON POINT! And, maybe most importantly, the gameplay is easily accessible and a true pleasure to traverse. Never once did I feel like I was being held back by an archaic or difficult-to-learn control scheme/layout.
Will veterans of the genre enjoy this game? I'd like to think so. Will they consider it among their favorites? Probably not -- I'm sure most of what's here has been done before and, to the experts, better. For a casual player like me, though, this game was an absolute blast, and a pleasure to fall into. I look forward to trying out the sequel sometime!
