Thrilling Action

Just like everyone has said, it's not much of a horror game like the previous installments in the series but it is one hell of an action game with plenty of excitement especially when playing with a friend. To be honest, I haven't even tried the single player but you know, but to hell with that when the game was very much built on co-op. Although I don't really mind the direction the game took as I'm not a hardcore fan of the series, but the clumsy controls that worked in the survival horror games don't really fit an action game. Me and my friend finished this game online 3 times on the first weekend of its release. It was very exciting for the first couple times when we had to really save ammo and health, but once we started getting those infinite ammo weapons with high caliber, the game got really easy. Not saying it wasn't fun to just run through the game, shooting every enemy with a single bullet. It definitely was fun but got old after a while. In total I must've beaten the game like 8 times, and I'm very sick of it by now. My friend is a trophy whore so we collected every trophy in the game, which isn't something I would normally do. The other online modes were also pretty exciting for awhile, but I think I'm done with this game by now.
