Oh my god, a 6! That is far too generous for this game. I personally love the Resident Evil / Bio Hazard series and this game was a traversity!
There's so many things wrong with this that I almost thought that the process for this game was, how much more could we possibly stuff up this game.
- Poor controls - check
- Clunky interface - check
- Incredibly boring - check
The list goes on.
That demo, literally, blink and you'll miss it.
This game makes me sad in pants, the only saving grace - Claire Redfield looks pretty hot.

I had zero issues with the controls.

I didn't like the whole aiming and going in first person mode, for me it feels like breaking up the action and I always felt Resident Evil should remain a 3rd person shooter.
Especially when there's no story and the whole game is more objective based, I feel the action should flow a lot smoother.
The new look Claire looks so good - I think it's the new hair style that's doing it for me (I may have to jump to the Claire camp if they're going to use this for future games). Ok sure you get Jill in the BSAA outfit and her form fitting hugging purple cat suit but those were all seen in RE5.

Go into the option menu and turn on third person aiming.

Oh my god that made the game a little more tolerable, I might actually bitch less about this game. That third person aiming should've been the default.
I was complaining so much on the flight back from Perth to my friend on the plane about the whole first person shooting view.
I know you can't run and gun, you never could with RE, even though for the love god it needs it, but that whole FPS view really pissed me off.

I was exactly the same, and was relieved to see a classic aiming perspective as an option. Also, incase you didn't know, if you hold L while aiming you can move while aiming.
I have no idea why the third person perspective wasn't default.

This game is awful. Seriously I think 6 is way over rating it.

Well after taking some of Jarrod's advice, it has improved my overall impressions of the game. It's still not great but it's at least now tolerable.

Just a heads up, Mercenaries mode has been around since Resident Evil 3, and a case could be argued that the Extreme Battle mode in Resident Evil 2 was a mercenaries mode. Yes, I'm nitpicking

Good! That would be like reviewing a DVD based on those annoying, but eye-catching (the first time you see them) advertisements for upcoming films being released on DVD.

Went to buy this from EB today, Tweed, they said it was recalled? Cause of the save thing?
Can anyone verify this?

Only EB are the ones not selling this. You can still purchase Resident Evil Mercanaries pretty much any where, JB Hifi, K-Mart, Big W, Target, Game, etc etc.
