Hoewel ik heel erg uit kijk naar Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, hebben de grote pers boys al hun hands on gehad met deze game. Die zijn eerlijk gezegd niet zo heel erg te spreken er over, en noemen het SOCOM (zelfde developer Slant Six) met zombie skins en niet helemaal lekker weg speelt. Overzicht van reviews kan je hier en hier vinden.

Capcom's idea was to create a dark, gritty shooter with smooth controls and a focus on multiplayer. It's not about fear any more ... The result is a fast-paced co-operative and competitive shooter ... It's impossible to overstate how different REORC feels compared to other Resident Evil games, even Resi 5. That is to say it feels like a third-person shooter, a SOCOM game. Your targeting reticule darts about the screen like a bee disturbed from its hive. Your character covers ground quickly with a simple click of the left thumb stick. Turning, the simple act of changing direction, feels responsive. From cover you can blind fire, lob grenades or pop in and out for deadly accurate shooting. And, shock horror, you can move and shoot."
