Things may have changed somewhat-you might be able to access rooms you couldn't before, or you may encounter new enemy types-but the sense of discovery that helps make the early sections intriguing wears off too soon. But before you've advanced too far through the campaign, you've seen most of what the Zenobia has to offer, and you spend much of your time trekking back through areas you've already covered.

Series mainstays Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are on hand, but they don't get any opportunities for character development here they're just familiar pawns in the series' latest sinister, overly complicated conspiracy.
