The
game is well detailed, allowing players to explore individual
rooms in the ship including restrooms, sleeping quarters
etc.When exploring the ship, you know that it’s a matter
of time before you are took by surprise by a walking undead,
but should danger loom, one tap of R1 switches the action
into first person mode, the game becomes noticeably like
house of the dead at this point, using a targeting reticle
and visual prompts that alerts you when danger lurks off screen
you can battle baddies
up close and personal.
This aspect of the game is sharp and responsive, whether using
a game pad or Gun Con 2, the game just feels more personal
with Zombies shambling from the shadows and biting at your
face from inches away.The game, however is not easy as attacks
often shuffle forth from varying directions at disconcerting
speed, even though bullets and weapon upgrades are in good
supply, essential as you are subject to attacks from every
direction.
Enemy placement in this game is also very good, as you are
often questioning where a particular Zombie has come from.
Zombies are also quite difficult to finish off and can take
dozens of bullets to kill, a bullet to the head is often essential,
killing them outright. The game also offers various difficulty
levels, each one notching up the tension.
The games visuals are also very good and help to set the mood,
cinematics allow you to see expressions on each players face,
a very impressive feature of the game.Its not surprising that
the surrounding environments in this game are very impressive
looking at Capcoms history with these games, in which we have
come to expect stunning surrounding environments. Doors, Hallways,
rooms are all well represented. The same can be said for character
modelling e.g. players and zombies.
The games Sound is also a good feature of the game, groans
and moans echo down each hallway signalling impending danger.
This adds spookiness along with the creaking and clanking of
the various surfaces you walk on. We even hear the voice-overs
for Bruce.Dead Aim isn’t your average Resident Evil and
is finally the game that puts gun survivor series on the map.
Those gamers who have suffered through previous editions form
this series will be able to hear that Dead Aim is a welcome
change from the ‘norm’ and is well worth
checking out.
