It all depends on how you read the score

See, that's how you do a review. At least they aren't giving it 9s and 10s just because it's a good game. I'm surprised it did that well though, pleasantly surprised of course. If it got 7s I would get it eventually, but if IGN concurs and gives it an 8, I'll get it in a couple of weeks after I've gotten all 120 stars in galaxy.

And I trust IGN and GT more than anyone else. 1up and gamespot can't be taken seriousl.y

Do you guys suppose completely ignoring Leon is Capcom's way of saying "lol just forget about 4, it was never a part of the main storyline"? It always felt a bit disjointed and out-of-place in the series, but I didn't think they'd completely ignore it.

Capcom do it again, seems like a great on rails shooter. Ive played RE4 to death on the Wii so this is a must have!!!!! I didnt expect it to get such a good solid score.

I'll be playing it this weekend - and will have some impressions up when I get the chance. Its always struck me as a 8.0-8.5 game, so the review seems about right.

The game does strike me as being the "best ever" on-rails shooter, as well as having a huge amount of content.

Not sure what is up with the gfx though - they definitely don't seem to be up to RE4 standards. Maybe its another engine, or maybe the need for having more textures or objects (or something) - no idea :P

Hmm, should I get this or Time Crisis 4 for my light gun fix.

This might be a better game, but I love TC and the new FPS mode seems cool.

I'm guessing the graphics were due to trying to match the detail of the bitmap/FMV backgrounds in 3D, and they evidently didn't have the time to match them perfectly.

BTW, what's the framerate of the game?

This sounds sweet...and the fact that it's long for a rail shooter pretty much sold the game for me...I want a game that I can play with friends...but be able to come back to a few times instead of beating it all in an hour.

Well I just bought it!

So what are my impressions? None yet. I'm not playing it now. I just beat Zack & Wiki. Now I have to finish Prime 3. Then it's either this, Galaxy or Twilight Princess. You can see my dilemna. So I may hold off entirely until I can play co-op with my buddy. Then it's a co-op only game for 2 best friends. Isn't that just so sweet?

It's a solid game. Best RE game in terms of story in a long time and the deepeest lightgun game I've ever played.

And Wesker is awesome. I love how arrogant he is.
