Enjoy! It isn't the best of the series but it does give you value for your money (even moreso if you get it for free ;-). It has three (Four? Five? Six? I forget) intertwining campaigns, each with their own flavor. Graphics are okay and gameplay is... well, it's Resident Evil so don't expect too much and you'll be fine. It's a bit heavy on quick-time events but the running-n-gunning is solid enough. Story is absolute nonsense and for a "horror game" it's about as terrifying as an animated Batman TV show but it wasn't a game I hated. Apparently Resident Evil purists hated it, but I thought it was better than 1, 4 and 5 (the only resident evil games I've played. 4 gets a lot of love from fans, but I /hated/ its controls - and QTEs - and its story was even stupider than 6). Have fun ;-)
