A Resident Evil title which came out during the era when Co-op focused 3rd and 1st person shooters like Gears of War and Halo respectively were selling like hot cakes and also when Call of Duty was the face of the entire industry with its balls-to-the-walls cinematic action as the crown jewel with a Capcom that caved in and decided to follow suit. So it has a campaign which was designed almost solely around Co-op play, an insane and incoherent story adorned with bonkers cutscenes that -when stitched together- can pass as a Wakaliwood feature film with some signature corny Resident Evil weirdness and horniness sprinkled throughout. But it's fun, so much dumb fun and that's in spite of the poorly aged control scheme and the overall insanity the game entails.

Just note that the Co-op tag, which rightfully is the first one, is not a suggestion but rather a warning. I presume it isn't impossible to beat this in single player but I can't imagine it's worth the hassle. I finished it on another platform with a friend and played as much as I did here for some card drops and to type down a review till I nope'd at a certain point since I didn't want to torture myself with a particular boss fight considering the level of AI the game offers for your partner.

Also justice for Sheva, as she is the most genuinely likable character throughout the series so far for me but since her AI in single player mode isn't the brightest, she has an undeservedly terrible reputation amongst the fans. She manages to shine throughout in a game which just treats her as the eye-candy. Like, the first time we see of her is her ass covering about 2/3rds of the screen because the cutscene director had a clear as day agenda (which the dudebro in me salutes and respects, that person is like the textbook definition of dedication) and despite all that, after the game ends I only find myself wishing I got to learn more about her but sadly the writers couldn't really be arsed to. Hope in the inevitable remake we'll get more of her.

TL;DR It's ridiculous, it's uneven but it's fun and well designed for Co-op play. On your own it's not a notch over bearable, which I don't recommend in the slightest.
