Alright

This game definatly aint for everyone, I'll just start out with that and if you arn't a fan of Resident Evil (R.E.), it is kind of a cr@p shoot if you will like it or not. This is a off spin of the main R.E. storyline, that is not to confusing but it is kind of pointless in a way. When you try and fit it in the big RE storyline picture. The grafix are actually where this game shine's, using lighting very nicely. When you go into first person view mode to fire at zombie's there is a rather good amount of detail in each monster you face. Though a downfall is that with the pre-rendered background's it make's thing's indestructable unless of course you are suposed to do damage to it taking away from the shooter feel of the game a bit. The audio of the game is classic RE creating that creepy atmospher. Though this game feel's more fast paced that other RE's, the nice feature in this game is being able to go from FPS mode to third person on the fly. And it is seemless making it easier for you to fight off hord's of zombie's. That would bring me to the controll's, the movement controll's are classic RE, so either you love them or you hate them. But the swap from 3rd person to 1st person is smooth and a perfect trasition not hampering a moment of the game's overall gameplay. Another downfall this game has is that it is rather easy, and short. Not a good combination. The story is good enough to keep you into it untill the end but nothing that will rock your sock's off. It's a FPS modified to fit the world of RE, it is a good concept and is kind of fun for a bit but begin's to run it's course by the time you are done with the game. I wish there was a way to have a light gun in controller port 2, and switch from controller to gun when it came time to shoot down some baddies. But it's sign's of improvment mabee if they make another FPS RE that the game will be as good as the rest of the series. Overall, it's a good game but not for everyone. And miss's in to many area's for me to really refer it out to people. But if you are an RE buff and are interested you will enjoy the experence just don't expect to be blown away.

worth renting

dead aim is a mediocre game with a average story you start out as Bruce Mcgivern a stars member who goes on a boat to stop the t virus from being sold anyway the sound is ok decent voice acting except during cutscenes where you cant really hear the voices the graphics are good with good character models and sweet looking zombies the controls are better then the previous re games but still are lacking aqining with the analog controller is hard you would be better off using the guncon the main flaw of this game is the play time you could beat the game in less then 3 hours and there are not alot of extras in the game overall this game is a good rental but not worth buying +better then re survivor + good graphhics +ok sound + no limit on ammo or save ribbons + ok story - bad aiming - way too short - not enouph extras overall score 7 out of 10

Is it really RE? Was it made by Cap...

I only played because it was a Resident Evil game... Pros: - Adds more story to th egrowing storyline. Cons: - Worst Gameplay yet! - Worst Graphics yet! - Worst Storyline yet! - Worst Resident Evil yet! (I crossed the name Resident Evil of the box only leaving Dead Aim... It is not a Resident Evil Game PERIOD!) Others: - Should've never ever have been made! - Is it really RE? Was it made by Capcom? Don't look like it to me!

They got it right, or at least more right than last time

RE Survivor, the member of the RE family we all lock in the closet when company comes over. The demons of that game have been put to rest with RE: Dead Aim. This game is lightyears better than what was intended with that other game. The game actually is scary, which the more recent RE titles have lacked. REmake and RE0 may have the better graphics, but REDA will make you bring a fresh pair along for the ride. Even without the Guncon, this game is worth playing. Voice acting is good, graphics are decent enough and gameplay is addictive. However, there are some small problems. There are some instances where it seems that Capcom was just lazy in making this game. You can play through as both Bruce (1st) and Fongling (2nd), but all the cutscenes are for Bruce. If you play with subtitles on, they don't match what is actually being said. And as far as I can tell, no minigame. Capcom should be ashamed. But all in all, this game is pretty good. But what makes this game so much better than RES? You can save! I boiught it, but you might want to rent it first.
