What was I thinking when I started a Handun Only challenge on Professional difficulty of Resident Evil 6? I have absolutely no clue. It is not that the game is not doable overall in this insane mode, it is that all you are doing is shooting like mad anything that moves around you. But OK, all is well when it comes to standard enemies - even bosses go down at some point when shot enough times. What about choppers, though? Yes, I took the choppers down with handguns. Not only it was nearly paranoid, it was also ridiculous. Hitting a helicopter with a handgun makes your weapon feel like a peashooter, to say the least. The worst part is the chopper on the roof while playing as Chris. It takes ages for the helicopter to even start catching fire; and when it does, it takes what feels like centuries to go down in flames. And then there is the chopper outside the floating restaurant, which shoots missiles like there's no tomorrow. Don't even get me started on that one. Thankfu...

Unlike the main Resident Evil 4 game, which has perfect programming and literally follows your gameplay style, Separate Ways is on a completely different pace. To begin with, Ada's controlling is not as smooth and flowing as Leon's. This is something that you can't really see in a regular playhtrough, because when she has a shotgun, for example, she can shoot the tougher enemies like a pro, or throw a hand grenade to eliminate a large number of them, and never have to worry about them getting too close. Secondly, Ada is supposed to be faster but I don't know where this rumor came from. I guess it's her slim figure that tricks into seeming as if she is moving swiftly, when she actually isn't. In practice she is dragging her feet compared to Leon, and although she is able to slide among the villagers easily, she becomes quite awkward in the Island section, when having to deal with those extremely vicious and resilient soldiers; and especially whenever she is...

You can't really see how hard a game actually is unless you try to play it on a high difficulty level, using only a standard weapon like a handgun - and if you are up for a bigger challenge, attempt to go through it without taking damage. If you are an avid gamer like me, you most probably have already tried - and hopefully succeeded in - doing all the above. Although the games of the Resident Evil series were not the ones that I started with to play in such 'modes', so to speak, Resident Evil 4 was the first of the saga that I did play with just a handgun and losing no health. As impossible as this may sound, in fact it's a lot easier than it seems, although it is an extremely intense and challenging experience that is definitely not recommended if you don't know the game well enough. The best handgun in the game to try this challenge is the Red9 - this stylish, vintage weapon which is powerful enough to get rid of enemies quickly, while at the same time be...
