Advantages: Graphics

Disadvantages: none to be honest

Completed this game recently and can honestly say I really enjoyed it. Its not so much a survival horror anymore, rather a decent 3rd person action - adventure title.
The graphics are top notch with some of the level designs looking great. Sheeva's AI gets a lot of praise as well (apart from always picking the weakest weapon availabe) She is a really good addition to the game and is pretty handy in places.
The single player campaign runs to a decent length (which is rare nowadays) while the levels, enemies and bosses are diverse enough not to get boring.
There is plenty to find aside from the main game and the mercenaries mode is good for earning xp.
My only faults with the game would be the control sytem - you really should be able to move and shoot/fight at the same time. Being locked into place while aiming gets annoying in places. And also the sheer amount of time it takes to earn enough money to fully upgrade your weapons - I found myself backtracking quite a bit to earn cash and points for unlocks. By the time I had some decent stuff it felt a bit like a chore. I had played the game to death and was not enjoying it as much anymore.
If you just want to play the (really well told) story through then don't let that bother you as the game is a steal at this price and a worthwhile addition to your collection.
