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..
Mercenaries is where I own you all.
In fact, a high scores thread should exist. So I can win you all.

You know every now and then there was a blue dot on the map near the merchants. Inside a door with guns on it, you were given a selection of guns, and had to shoot cardboard cutouts within a time limit or sommit. If you did well enough they gave you a 'prose' which happened to be an action figure of some sort, but the merchant called it a bottle cap.

What bottle tops?
Hmmm?
I haven't played this for a while. Probably because I spent about 3/4s of my life on it for a week.
