No it Isn't.

  All joking aside, me, id admit that every Resident Evil game before 4 is overrated. Like I get that people missed the full-on puzzle horror aspect, but the recent games didnt need to get dogged on for being different from what they  used to be. 

  I actually liked 5-7 for what they were, to be honest. Especially 7, but thats just me, and me likes the series in general.

Hmm, I think the REmake for the gamecube is overrated, resident evil 1 however perfectly re-created on a new console, wasnt an amazing game to begin with, it was an ambitious jump into a completely new genre, and it deserves props for pioneering but little else.

I think Code Veronica was shit, and 2 and 3 aren't really overrated or underrated, they seem to get deserved responses. But Resident Evil 0 was absolutely overlooked, and easily the best out of the 'slow' games.

I think 7 was fantastic and probably a little underrated.

But 5 and 6 were just BAD like 5 was playable after a shit ton of DLC but 6 was just un-enjoyable. I dont buy the whole '[i][b]BUT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE RIDICULOUS[/b][/i]' as if that is some how an excuse to make a low quality game. There are plenty ridiculous capcom-esque games (No More Heroes, God Hand, Mad World, Vanquish) that are ridiculous but not poor. I see the same defenses for those crappy 'Modern B-movie throwbacks' like Machette and Machette Kills, just because your film knows its shit, doesnt make it less shit.

Resident Evil 6 isnt a 'fun bombastic action game', its a poor, clunky 3rd person shooter with an un-even tone and Rocket Launcher Zombies, play House of The Dead Overkill instead.
