zombies jumping out i can see, but they have always been slow moving other the then the crimson heads from RE1 remake. Like EvilHero said about, the game could pick up a lot when the other monster from the RE world show up.

That is why i am going to wait a see on this game, until i play it for myself.

Also, I think it being two fast pace like House of the dead would feel wrong for a Resident Evil game.

On a side note, Resident Evil has had it share of crappy games. Resident Evil: Survivor & Resident Evil Outbreak being two of them. People aro 50/50 on Resident Evil 0. though i like it myself.

@Grim Santo – it’s not a lost cause. Some awesome boss battles could help it, faster moving zombies, similar to the House of the Dead games. Maybe make more zombies jump out at you instead of slowly walking out of predictable spaces, bringing the “scare” factor that Resident Evil is known for back. That would be awesome.

@Spencer One question I have, Now is the game just bad or is it something they can fix. the vibe i am getting from your writeup is that the game is a lose cause.

@Rogue – I see what you mean, but this isn’t a review. It’s impressions. The demo didn’t stand up to the House of the Dead series and it’s on par with the rest of the Biohazard Survival games which are mediocre at best.

@Chris – Fair point, I only played it with the Zapper. Maybe it’s better without it.

I think the problem with your review is that you put down Umbrella Chronicles in it, and not the UC *demo*. The zombies move slow, and it’s kind of ugly-ish. Harsh, anyone?

If 3-5 slow moving zombies in a demo is one of your major complaints, and a screenshot of yours clearly shows 9-10, doesn’t that tell you that your article should inform its readers that this game still has a chance to be better than what you played? Because it doesn’t. Even after you updated your article, it was only to say that this was your opinion. Do you really think it has no chance of improving itself?

This article as is leaves me thinking that you’re just bashing a game simply for the controversy of bashing it. Someone that trusts your word may not pick up a game that you give a bad review. You know that, right?

All criticism of an article aside, I love siliconera. I recently discovered you guys through gonintendo a few months back. Please keep up the good work!
