Yeah, as the title states the new Resident Evil demo oh, whoops. I mean the new DS3 demo wasn't what i was hoping it would be.
First off, the atmosphere isn't... Thats it, there is no atmosphere. The single strongest point of the franchise and the demo had NONE! Maybe that will change later in the game but I sure didn't see it based upon what I saw in the demo. Reminds me of another EA game that made the same move.....
Second, the enemies are not anything like how they were in the first 2 games. They are slow, they aren't threatening, and you have no reason to fear them. Except they now have guns. Yes, they decided to give the zombies guns and I hate it. Not only that but the way the levels are designed. You could rip hallways out of Gears and paste them in this game and nobody would notice.
Complaint the third, pacing. In the demo you are heaved into quite possibly the most action packed 15 mins of your life! I bet there was 20 explosions, 5 dives for cover, 3 scenes where someone is brutally dismembered and a partridge in a pear tree. A little too much action I daresay. I know they are trying to reel you in with the action of the demo but for fucks sake, Mr. Torgue would tell them they have too many explosions.
Final Complaint. This will be the best selling DS game yet. It is a fine blend of all the things 14 year old boys like the best. Excessive explosions and gore, familiar gameplay that resembles RE and GoW blended together, nothing scary, and hype.
TL DR? 3/10 based upon the demo
