When Capcom announced that they would be spinning the Resident Evil franchise into a new direction with Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, fans had high hopes for the squad based multiplayer-centric shooter. Â With a development team in place that has produced popular online shooters in the past, it seemed like a sure fire hit. Â Unfortunately, game critics haven’t been so kind to Capcom’s latest.
With aggregated reviews hovering only slightly above 50, this could be one of the biggest flops of 2012…so far.
Destructoid – 7.5/10 – “Raccoon City suffers from poor design”
Games Beat – 60/100 – “ORC is defective in ways I’ve never seen before”
Game Informer – 6/10 – “Slant Six has tainted the fabled town”
Xbox360 Acheivements – 58/100 “A limp and generic single player is aided by a multiplayer offering with a few good ideas”
EuroGamer – 4/10 – “Operation Raccoon City delivers the bare minimum in every category”
GamesRadar – 3/10 – “One of the worst Resident Evil games to date”
