of all the RE games Ive played, Village is the most like a theme park ride. feels more linear than VII (or what I remember of it), with a lower focus on tension and higher focus on spectacle and story.

is the spectacle good? Usually. The setting is nice (though I preferred the Baker estate) and the enemy + boss variety is much, much greater. Especially a particular section near the middle. Is it a masterpiece? Nahhhh. But its a really entertaining piece of media :]

Also this game is beautiful
