Saw it this morning in the app store. I just hope you can move and shoot at the same time.

Speaking of zombies, when the hell is the Sirius app coming out?

@ Sting, no you can’t move and shoot at the same time.. It’s not a bad game. The controls are just complicated.

I have to go watch a video of it on youtube….I got Silent Hill and that turned out to be a big mistake, kind of hesitant to get another console style iPhone game.

Guys, this game is good. I would say late-gen PS2 quality. The controls are classic RE, but with the over the shoulder view from RE4/5. You can even do a quick-turn by pressing down quickly on the virtual control stick when you gun is not drawn. The items and log are classic RE. The only complaint I have is that I would like the ability to change the speed in which I turn, but alas, you can’t. You can however invert the axis and mirror the controls. If you like RE, this is a must buy! Classic all the way!

Awesome game. Just beat it. Took me 2 hours on easy. Goin for hard next.
@DaNoob and Sting, you can in fact move while in shooting mode by doing a quick flip in the direction you want to move on the d-pad like the turn around move. Doing so will make him go forward or backward a few steps and when you do it sideways he strafes a few steps.
I think an update to fix the action button would be nice. Currently you really have to be facing the panel/door/button pretty much head on and all the way up against the wall. Some room here would be nice.
Anyway this game was way more than I expected and everytime I thought it was over it just kept going.
Solid performance Capcom. Now where is Street Fighter?

Just get it this morning. I have to admit I”m not to play any in this format, especially if its not on a pc. Graphics are really nice for a hand held, though I will be a challenge for me to move around the maps. I’ll be you up to speed as I progress.
