Resident Evil: Dead Aim

"This game makes you sick and dizzy!"

Story: 6 out of 10
The story is ok but it doesn't related to the original Resident Evil saga. Yeah, its still about T-virus that turn normal people into a living dead. Your role is to stop a crazy man that stole the T-virus and you are on a cruise ship. To me, its really easy to predict the outcome ending of this game. The story is completely different from a normal Resident Evil so basically you don't know what happen. First you starts off on a cruise ship and later on a spooky island full of monsters.

Gameplay: 5 out of 10
To me its really boring because you basically shoot enemies around you. The thing I hate the most is it makes me dizzy a lot just by playing the game 3 minutes. Because this is a first person mode shooter, its so easy to shoot and kill monsters because you can aim your gun to their eyes or mouth. You are still get rewards by beating the game but none of them are big or good enough for me. The final boss is soo cheap and dull because you can predict his movement to kill him really fast. The mission on the cruise to me is the best of this game and the longest.

Sound: 4 out of 10
BORING! The music will change if there is an enemy near by which making the game a whole lot easier just by listening. I was expecting a scary high quality music, but man I was completely wrong. Zombies doesn't look scary anymore because their moans sounds like a horse whining. Every area should have different music and tone, but it doesn't.

Lifespan: 5 out of 10
I finished this game under 3 hours and all I got is dizziness just playing this game. I tried to play it again just for fun, but it wasn't worth it. Other gamers can and will finish it under 3 hours and get some headache because of this game.

Graphic: 6 out of 10
Not bad but the graphics makes me dizzy and wants to throw up. The graphic can be good at some time and bad a lot times. The FMV graphic is very good, but when it stoped and you starts to play it gets worsen. I love the part where I meet the hunters because they are the only monster that looks good with this graphic.

Hate it! Its soo hard to shoot enemies or flying objects. By the time you lock on to them, they allready gone (Its that bad!!!). If you have a Guncon 2, the controls should be a lot easier but it also make the game a lot faster to beat.

Overall:
To me this game is the worst RE game ever that Capcom ever released. You learn nothing about Umbrella's history after you beat this game. This game shouldn't even be part of Resident Evil game saga.

Recommendations:
If you are a Resident Evil games collector, I recommend you to buy this game. If you are a RE fan but interested, I suggest you rent it but don't buy it.

Buy or Rent?
RENT!!!

Pros:
+ New characters

Cons:
- Bad and boring environments
- Horrible sounds
- Dizziness
- No unlockable mini-mission like other RE games
