I had my doubts like I usually do with games that get hyped up so much (not to mention there was so much macho in the game I was prepared to feel ill from all the testosterone), but I eventually bought the Platinum release and was pretty much sold from the moment the Hydra first appears and you learn the block-counter system.
Gameplaywise, it's a fairly conventional third person action game, with annoying platform bits, key-lock puzzles and RPG elements, but much like RE4, it's presented with such intensity and fury, you can't help but get swept away by the glorious presentation.
The controls and combat system is pretty tight as well, hats off for that.
But yeah, definitely not "zomg best gaem ever!!!!11" material and maybe not deserving of the 9.8 scores it got, but a completely excellent action game on its own right regardless and guaranteed entertainment.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
