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..

Is it me, or was that fight rediculously easy without having to do that?
I thought once the control tower was in sight I would be safe, but then who would turn up but Krauser. It's an awful sight seeing him running towards you and all I could think was "oh for crying out loud, not again!". He finished me off pretty quickly, I had no chance.

Well that's a real punch in the crotch. Nevermind, I think I can do this next one on it at least.

I sure am:D. I would've got it sooner, but I won GAD and there's been no stock for a while.
I'm at the part where you first meet Ashley, so far flawless.

Gawd, that with (!spoiler!) K-man is rather hard. Damn arrows. Just stay near the slidey thing an you'll be just fine. If your out, see a chainsaw guy is running at you, just slip-slip-slide-away!
