It's definitely more action oriented than older games in the series, but the story and characters still tie-in nicely.
Yep, it's basically your typical R.E. story. Don't think it's been any more action oriented than RE 4 though (so far).
And I actually prefer Chris Redfield & his new partner to Leon Kennedy & the prez's daughter.
As for the 360 vs. PS3, from all the reviews I've read over the last couple of years all the non-exclusives seem to play a bit better on the 360 than the PS3. And there are more 360 exclusives I'd play - I mean where are the PS3 RPGs? Non-existent while 360 has:
- Lost Odyssey
- Mass Effect 2 (I don't think my current PC can play it, it could barely play 1 )
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope
- Blue Dragon
- Eternal Sonata
- Tales Of Vesperia
- The Last Remnant
And a couple others (may actually try Fallout 3 again... thinking if I play it on a console, I'll enjoy it more by lowering my expectations and not thinking of it as a PC RPG )
But I will probably pick up a PS3 sometime this year... still really want to play Uncharted 1/2, MGS IV and Valkyria Chronicles.
