Slightly bad:
Leon takes up a lot of the screen
This game is teh roxor. I've been walking through an off track pathway shooting out angry french people's kneecaps so they go down quicker. No more sissy auto aim. Then as they collapse to their knees I run up and round house kick them across the face.
Then I arrived at the village, got mobbed by villagers with pitchforks and scythes. My clip ran out and there was no time to reload (you can't do that inventory reload 'cheat' now either) so I ran across the village and headed into a house and barricaded the door. Cue loony paper bag man appearing and waving a chainsaw around, other villagers bring ladders and set them up to the upstairs window.
I ponce around looking for items and chainsaw man cuts through my wooden barricade, narrowly avoiding him I run up stairs and grab a shotgun off the wall. Seeing villagers climbing the ladder and starting to get in the room I realised I'm trapped, so I run into a corner between the bed where they can't get behind me and pull out the shotgun.
Unfortunatly I was a bit too slow and chainsaw man promptly decapitates me, blood gushes everywhere and 'You Are Dead' appears on the screen.
You want this game.
Also of note, walking into a shack to find a woman pinned a few feet off the ground by means of a pitchfork through the face, "No sex discrimination here" says Leon..

My point is that the loading times seemed uncomfortably long compared to the US ones. I dont ever recall a long loading time, and thinking this is taking a while. Which I did when playing the UK version. Tho' it probably wasnt helped by 'loading' flashing patronisingly in the corner.
You just open, done. In less than 15 seconds too.... :s

I'm sure they've made a few subtle gameplay changes, and i noticed areas i didnt remember from my recent play through. Yeah in the American version, you go through a door and its just a black screen for a moment, then the next area loads up really quickly. The English version, you go through a checkpoint (green) door, you get a black screen and a small 'loading' in the corner for about 15 seconds. Seemed really lame...
And there's no loading in the US version?
