Resident Evil: Dead Aim similar games & best alternatives
Should you play it?
Resident Evil: Dead Aim is a survival-horror game released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 under the Gun Survivor title, which was used for several games made for the Namco light gun controllers. The game is played in two camera angles: the player moves from a third-person perspective while walking, which changes to a first-person perspective while aiming the gun. You'll pick up several guns through the course of the game, including a magnum, a shotgun, and an assault rifle. But like in other Resident Evil games, zombies are difficult to put down permanently and ammo can be very scarce.
What works
- Unique hybrid of third-person exploration and first-person light gun shooting
- Immersive survival horror atmosphere with tense combat
- Multiple control options including guncon 2 and mouse
- Well-designed map system aiding exploration
- Memorable and unusual antagonist character
Things to keep in mind
- Short game length and limited replay value
- Clunky controls and slow turning speed
- Repetitive enemy sounds and poor audio mixing
- Weak and shallow story with campy voice acting
- Limited character customization and social features
