They've still got a long way to go, and the tale they tell is by no means a masterpiece, but it does have its effective moments, and I hope they continue to improve in this area. Resident Evil Revelations 2 is the first legitimately good game in the series since Resident Evil 4, and that has been a long time coming.
Just like BF: Vietnam and BF: 2142, it does not reinvent the wheel, but it does enough unique things to be called its own, and if you're looking for chaotic multiplayer fun, you can never go wrong with Battlefield Hardline.
When all is said and done, this is an awesome collection and one that any gamer should check out. After playing through both of these all week long, it makes the wait for another installment just that little bit harder.
Bottomline, if you are a fan of the franchise and you're stuck with no other means of playing this game, go ahead and pick up the PC version and push through the problems and enjoy yourself.
Unfortunately, that's all there really is to Luftrausers. It doesn't have the personalization of Beat Hazard and it doesn't have the level of content that Pac-Man Championship Edition has. In many ways for the entry point of ten dollars there are better options out there. But if any of what you've read sounds intriguing or if you see the game on sale, take to the skies and enjoy the ride.
Sadly, regardless of how well the gameplay holds up, there are still things that reveal the 9 year hiatus that RE4 has taken from gaming. Quick time events and button prompts in boss fights are the most frustrating but there are some other nit-picks, such as not being able to save where ever you want. Plus, it's hard to get immersed in a game when you're constantly exiting to look at another screen. In all honesty immersion is not RE4's strength, nor its story or characters. What really makes Resident Evil 4 work so well, even by today's standards, is the gameplay.
Flee from this game! Flee in fear and never look back!
Ultimately, great controls and some occasional laughs aren't enough to stop Loadout from being an average game and one that doesn't deserve your time. However, it does have one positive effect and that is, it makes you want to play UT2K4 again and that my friends, is never a bad thing.
