Sgand and I played through it yesterday and it is terrible. I didn't get through the 2nd level because I had to leave so I might run through it again but I dunno.

The aiming is slow. I get that. I understand that. It's a slower game. Fine. You could even say it's trying to be more tactical. Sure. But it is still balls. I'm not saying slow is bad, but THIS slow is. Haven't all RE games had a slow pace anyway?

So it's slower. I can get over that. As I play though the level a little more I get to a cutscene and then zombies come after. Fine. I shoot a few zombies. Reload. What have you. Nothing out of the normal.

Then suddenly I'm out of ammo. WTF? I ask sgand "Hey you have any ammo?" and no, he's out too. So now we switch to our secondary weapons and blow away a few more. We are scrounging for ammo the entire time but get nothing but herbs and gold and all that. Then the big boss with the ax breaks down the gate. It didn't occur to us to run past him so we unload shotgun/sniper rounds into him and he ends up pounding us to death.

So we reach that point again, and decide to run past him, saving as much ammo as we can. We have to wait for backup to come. Fine. We sprint to the other end of the gate, turn around, and who's behind us? The entire horde and the big slow ax wielding boss. He couldn't get to the fucking gate to break it down for a good 5 mins but now he's going to be on my ass the entire time?

Whatever. I try to headshot some zombies because I'm low on ammo and guess what? It takes 3 shots to the head to bring them down. It also takes 3 shots to the body to take them down. And how many shots do they start me out with? Like 10? How am I supposed to get ahead? I saw some explosive barrels and shot them but it didn't stop the bleeding.

So what do we do now? We're out of ammo, we can't move while knifing(god forbid), and we got angry ass African zombies on our tail the entire time. So our stratagy was to run. That's all. Just run around the entire fucking map.

And guess what, it worked. We survived! And then the demo ends. That was it. That was the level. You get to a cut scene, wait for the boss with the ax to break the gate, and then run around for 10 mins. That's what capcom wanted us to experience.

God it's bad. Just really bad. And then going into inventory is a bitch too. I even practiced that the on 2nd runthrough before we did anything and I still fucked it up.

I will say the graphics are great though. As is the sound.

Other than that...
