I just finished a pretty decent playthrough of the game and I am very impressed. That being said, I've yet to come close to finishing. I think I am about halfway but I am not 100% sure. So far, I've clocked up 6 hours.
Heaps of boss battles, some really nice and interesting characters (I really like Sheva) and a bunch of cutscenes that aren't too long but aren't too short either. The cutscenes feel just like movies, and the characters react just as you would expect them too. Voice acting is top notch as always, and there's alot of emotion, particularly in Sheva's face which adds to it ALOT.
I particularly like the interactions between Chris & Sheva as things start to go a little less as planned, and some of the interactions between Birdwoman and Irving are nice too - I like their relationship (though I've not seen a lot of them).
New weapons are fairly awesome too, with some just being down right fun (to give a hint, it was featured in RE4 but was an enemy-exclusive weapon). There's heaps to unlock too.
Some really awesome flashback scenes too! Very nice for the old school RE fan.
Within the first two hours, this game has already surpassed RE4 as being so much more enjoyable and just downright disturbing. Some of the worst enemies in the game also come simply from nature - and are definitely the creepiest.
The game for me oozes atmosphere. The opening scene where Chris is walking down the streets of Kijuju as the villagers stare is something that I cannot ever forget - the eeriness of the whole situation as the citizens just stop doing their cruel and inhumane acts just to stare at you as you walk down the main road. Brilliant stuff.
Cannot wait to put some more time into this tomorrow. =)
And, the Asian Editions for those interested. I'll also remind you that, as promised, I'll have some better quality pictures soon =)
