Upon completion of the game, you’ll unlock the excellent Mercenaries mode.
However, where MGSM’s slightness probably cost it a 10 out of 10, we won’t be penalising Resident Evil: Degeneration for the same crimes. It also has the same Point Pickups reward for completing it in less that 45 minutes. Resident Evil: Degeneration also suffers from a similarly brief running times to Metal Gear Solid Mobile, with an almost identical first run-through time for me of an hour and three quarters. Any reasonably thorough player will soon be swimming in lucre, meaning that before long you’ll just jump straight in and tune a new firearm up to the max.
Unfortunately, any tactical considerations are soon blown out of the water when it becomes apparent that there’s far too much money up for grabs in relation to the cost of the upgrades. There’s also a levelling-up system whereby you can buy new weapons and upgrade existing ones using the generous supply of cash and treasure left carelessly around the airport. Then there’s the inclusion of fire-extingushers, which can be targeted with explosive results. With a constant supply of target practice, the game is in danger of becoming slightly repetitive at around the half way point, but a number of variations ensure that you’ll have a blast right up to the end credits.įirstly there’s the occasional zombie variant, with armour-wearing police guards and gas tank-wearing fire fighters (guess where you should aim for here) mixing things up. With a greater emphasis on blasting, however, there’s a far more noticeable aim-assist element whereby your sights will be snapped to the relevant enemy if you’re aiming in roughly the right area. It’s very much like the system used in the brilliant Metal Gear Solid Mobile, if you want a reference point.
Where previous games involved a lot of to-ing and fro-ing solving spatial puzzles with the odd heart-stopping encounter with a foul beastie, here you’ll find a gaggle of nasties in the majority of the rooms you enter.įortunately, the controls manage to accommodate this emphasis on action, with a press of ‘A’ zooming the view in over Leon’s shoulder and the D-pad aiming your weapon. Make no mistake, this is a resolutely action oriented Resident Evil in line with Resident Evil 4 and the upcoming Resident Evil 5 on the home consoles. When we say ‘control the epidemic’ that of course means repeated injections of the lead variety. This sets up 11 chapters of tense action as you stalk through the airport’s VIP lounge, baggage area and even onto a plane in order to rescue survivors and control the epidemic before attempting an escape. A plane has crashed into the main terminal, unleashing the deadly T-virus, which turns everyone it touches into a zombie. No, not a baggage mix-up - it’s even worse than that. Protagonist Leon Kennedy busts his way into an American airport shortly after everything goes wrong. That’s the basic deal with Resident Evil: Degeneration.
