Dead in the water with the Guncon 2 and an HDTV.

A Resident Evil lightgun game without being on a track. An excellent and unique concept I've been waiting years for. Unfortunately, if you use the Guncon 2 lightgun controller with an HDTV, it will NOT work. Otherwise it's a great game that beats the newer Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii hands down. Just remember, if you have Hi-def, you'll have to use the dualshock controller, which kills most of the fun.

DEAD AIM is DEAD ON in terms of Resident Evil terror!

Okay, so I gave this game five stars all around. Alot of people (mainly the "hardcore" Resident Evil fans) think DEAD AIM is a bad game. That just isn't true. It's a great game and a wonderful sequal to the world of Resident Evil. Although I think it's a really fun experiance, I still consider Resident Evil 4 to be the best game out of the entire series. Heck, I'm willing to even say that Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever made! Period! That said, enough talk about other Resident Evil games. Lets talk about the one at hand, DEAD AIM. Basically the plot is simple. You play as an anti-Umbrella task force member named Bruce who ends up getting trapped on a large Umbrella boat, out to sea. Like other games in the series, something is seriously wrong with the situation from the start. You soon find that the passengers of the ship have been turned into flesh eating zombies and horrible mutant monsters have been unleashed from the labs deep within the boat. It's a pretty cut and dry story which in turns add's to the simple enjoyment of the game. In otherwords, what you have here is NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD out to sea! DEAD AIM is classic Resident Evil horror with a new twist. Instead of trying to move Bruce through set up scenes (like in older Resident Evil games) you get full control of him and the places around him. Although this game was made before Resident Evil 4, you can tell the direction CAPCOM wanted to gear the series in with this game. DEAD AIM is almost on the same level as RE4 but there are some minor differences. For one, this game is actually a sequal of a lesser known RE game called Resident Evil : Survivor, which wasn't very good due to CAPCOM cutting corners while porting it to American PSONE systmes. Anyways, DEAD AIM fixes alot of the screw ups from the past RE:Survivor game and really pushes the limits (in terms of graphics) of the PS2 for DEAD AIM. Playing as Bruce, you must creep through floors and levels of the huge boat, killing off zombies and monsters along the way. The action part is much different than in Survivor or older Resident Evil games. Mainly in 3D, when it comes time for action (shooting zombies in the head) the screen quickly zooms into first person perspective and all the "gun action" takes place that way. So after shooting your way through groups of zombies and monsters, eventually the boat crashes on a island and the rest of the "adventure" takes place there. DEAD AIM is a little on the short side, it took me only a couple of days to finish it without a problem. That shouldn't hold back Resident Evil fans from enjoy this little "side story" while they wait for future sequals in the series. In otherwords, DEAD AIM is a wonderful time killer, nothing more. Beautiful graphics, creepy music, haunting sound effects, buckets of blood and a enjoyable story really makes this game a classic Resident Evil. This game is even perfect for the casual Resident Evil fan. You won't get lost in the plot details (it's a side story after all) and it's short enough to give you an idea of what the world of Resident Evil is. Fans of Horror games should really check this out. It's got enough blood, zombies and monsters to please anyone into the scene. In otherwords, DEAD AIM is DEAD ON!

Boring!!!!!!!

I bought this game because I am a HUGE fan of Resident Evil-I was disappointed however because it was so easy I beat this game on the hard setting in less than an hour-if you want my advice, buy one of the other RE games, but as for this one, leave it on the store shelf-it is not worth the 40.00 it costs.

your aim must be dead on

ok here goes avid fan and player here and own all the games in this series.
graphics are great sound is great feel of the game is great story line so/so.
if you like a shooter game or should i say you like the old resident evil game survivor then this will be the game for you.
i bought the game due to collecting anything that deals with resident evil.
my biggest complaint is the mechanics of this game it took awhile to get used to and the switching back and forth gives me a headache.
that was the biggest down fall to the game as well as a so/so story line.
but the graphics thats what made the game also the sound to it gives the creepinss to the game and they did a great job just like the others in the series.
if you like shooters then this game is for you but if your like me and enjoy the old fashion resident evil games then it is not for you.
if you are collecting like me well then it is a must have for your collection.

Crap

crap crap crap crap crap. Storyline sucked, nothing compared to other RE storylines. When will Capcom continue with the Jill, Chris, Claire storylines? The only fun part of this game is on the ship shooting zombies in the head. But I never found a compatable gun to be used with this game.

A cut above "Resident Evil: Survivor"

This is the second "Resident Evil" first-person shooter I have played, and (In My Humble Opinion) it is much better than the previous one (the above-mentioned "Resident Evil: Survivor"). It blends RE's traditional 3rd-person action with the 1st-person shooter style of "Survivor", which is very handy. "Survivor" was all FPS, all the time, which can get nerve-wracking, especially when you're fighting multiple enemies. In "Dead Aim", you only enter FPS to fight. Tap the trigger (R1) once to aim, and again to fire. If you don't like the odds, you can turn and run away, or fight back if the bad guy has grabbed you, then turn back and resume the battle.

Since it's for PS2, both analog sticks come into play; the left one for movement (if you're "old-school" like me, you may prefer the D-pad), and the right one for changing your aiming point, which is represented by the crosshairs on the screen. You can use the Right and Left buttons on the D-pad to strafe, but using Forward and Back will move *you*, not your aim point, and you'll revert to 3rd-person action.

Carrying stuff is a little different in this game, since the only limit is on the amount of ammo clips you can carry; a total of 6 slots are available, and that space has to supply *all* of your weapons. You get 3 different types of 9mm handguns, one .50 caliber Magnum handgun, one shotgun, one Assault Rifle, one Grenade Launcher, and a Plasma Rifle. Handgun ammo is plentiful, and the save areas carry an infinite amount. Otherwise, conserve whenever possible (especially Magnum ammo), and also keep plenty of health items in reserve.

There are only two really tough boss battles in this game; the rest of the action is pretty standard. Just be careful not to get too close to the really huge boss, and be patient when fighting the really fast boss (you'll see what I mean).

This is a good game for "Resident Evil" enthusiasts, and the learning curve is not very steep. There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal and Hard), which allow you to familiarize yourself with the game without getting killed too often. Overall, I give it: 10/10.

Impressive graphics, great control, short game

The graphics are among the best I have ever seen in a PlayStation 2 game. The controls are good and the game is really fun. Too bad it is so short! On my first play, it took me 5 hours to finish it. If you have the GunCon 2 and can rent this, it is probably a better option, considering you can easily finish it in a weekend.

i hate this game

Dear Capcom, you are really getting on my nerves. I am really upset with you about RE Dead aim and RE Outbreak. I think you are just getting lazy. I loved resident evil 2, 3, and code veronica, but the latest RE releases have been greatly disapointing. This game has too many problems (ie: length, blandness). Don't buy it, rent it first and then decide. I am not buying any more games produced by Capcom until they realease Resident Evil 4 for the Playstation2 as well as the Gamecube. For those of you who don't know, Capcom has announced that it will only be realeasing RE 4 for the GameCube and not the PS2 because of a contact they have with Nintendo. It is just plain wrong. I'm not buying a gamecube just for one game.
