I really enjoyed the game on my PS2 and I found it well balanced when playing in the normal mode. The boss fights were the just the right difficulty, not too many enemies, simple and not too annoying puzzles. However in the professional mode the games flaws and annoyances become quite apparent. The automatic reload drives me nuts, when you press fire and you have no ammo left, Leon automatically reloads and since there’s no way of interrupting a reload there’s plenty of time for you local Ganados to eat your face while you still are franticly pulling on your controller to get out of there. And controlling Leon is way too slow when you are surrounded by enemies. And there are some other annoyances as well, but I still think that the game is very well designed and certainly as many other have said; the best RE game so far.
