![]() Secondly, if you see a player running at you with an axe, they will sponge the hell out of your bullets and add this to the weapons ridiculous range, you stand little chance of surviving the incoming attack. The main problems that I have with these Axe kills is that one, the range is insane! Even when you seem to be far away from a player or even at an angle when it looks like you’re safe, the game will jitter for a split-second, before placing you beneath the wielding axe for yet another frustrating melee death. However, its arguably not the shooting that frustrates the hell out of me most of all when playing this game online, it’s those fucking annoying Axe/Brainer melee kills! I swear, the vast majority of games that I’ve played, involves players sprinting around the map waving their Axes about, rather than actually trying to shoot someone, which kind of defies the point of this game being a third-person shooter. For example, having the choice of a more panned out third-person camera or even giving you an option of playing in first-person would have gone a long way in making the game more accessible for a larger variety of gamers. Shooting would perhaps be made easier if you had choices for which viewpoint you could use. You can complain about other shooters such as your Call of Duty’s all you want, but at least they get their core gameplay mechanics right, making them very easy to pick up and play, something that Umbrella Corps is not. On top of that, aiming is very clunky and no matter what gun you use, aiming is a bitch. ![]() Other than just looking odd, it also makes the camera pan way to close to your player, obscuring much of your view in the process. ![]() For some reason, your generic looking Umbrella Agent holds his gun to the side of his head when shooting and I have no idea why the developers made it this way. But make no mistake, this is a game that is relying on your love for the series in a cheap attempt to make you part with your cash and I urge you to hold out on purchasing before you’ve perhaps read one or two credible reviews or at least waited for the game to drop heavily in price.įor starters, the shooting is downright awkward. The number one way that I tried to convince myself and others was by saying “ try to think of this as a standard online shooter with a Resident Evil theme.” Which is largely the truth, as after all, it’s not carrying the Resident Evil name in its title. I really did try my hardest to try and enjoy this game, but the more I played, the more frustrated I grew with it. However, despite Resident Evil being my hands-down favourite series ever, even I could only wear the tinted goggles for so long. Umbrella Corps is an online based third-person shooter set in the world of Resident Evil featuring some of your favourite maps from the long running series. Operation Racoon City can take all the bashings it can handle, and rightly so, but despite its flaws, Capcom have somehow managed to make an even worse game with Umbrella Corps. Other then perhaps The Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS, these seemed to be the two most relevant games in the series when comparing titles with the latest spin-off (if I had to pick two) Umbrella Corps. Then in 2012, we had Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City which was a very average game at best, but if you managed to somehow find friends to play it with, there was enjoyment to be had. It’s not the first time we’ve had online based Resident Evil spin-off’s during our time in 2003 we had the first Resident Evil: Outbreak, a co-op survival game that was perhaps way ahead of its time (which by the way Capcom, a new game in that series would be great).
