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..

Like what?
Wait for the semi-auto.
I managed to get parties of 3 or 2 in 1 pistol shot in the cable cars.
Though one disadvantage for using a rifle is your scope sometimes is filled by a cable-car jumping ganados trying to shake you out.
Would have used the handgun anyway, seeing as it 1-shot-kill for everyone there.
We did get hit a few times, though - mostly from people I missed who then lobbed something at the back of our heads.

You don't even need the rifle for this, just some decent aiming and the handgun. One shot will knock everyone out of any approaching cars. Sometimes I wonder if you people play games with your feet or somthing.
Oh and Aliboy there are LOADS of things for you to unlock, one of them being something that I would probably pay for as a stand alone game, it's that good.

I know it's not very hard, but it's annoying. I don't want to be having to worry about her getting snatched away when I'm focused completely on killing.
