Big Name, Lousy Video Game, The series that put survival horror games on the map is back, but critics aren't impressed. Critics take aim at underwhelming Resident Evil 6, It might have morphed into a lucrative film franchise, but the game that put survival horror on the map is returning to its roots.
Releasing Tuesday, Resident Evil 6 lets gamers fight off undead beasts as multiple characters from the franchise's 15-year history. It's the largest Resident Evil game yet -- and it's gotten a significant push from both publisher Capcom and partners like Microsoft, who put it center stage during its E3 press conference earlier this year. In a holiday season filled with huge names like Halo and Call of Duty, it still manages to stand out.
But something is rotten in the state of Resident Evil, and it's not the corpses. Critics are ripping into the new game like a hungry zombie, calling it poorly paced and poorly executed.
