Resident Evil 5

i think this game is absolutely excellent i think its the best resident evil game so far plus they brought back Chris red-field and Jill valentine they are my favourite resident evil characters apart from Leon s Kennedy he was brilliant in resident evil 4 game, plus the camera views are better and easier than the previous resident evil games plus you get better warnings when a bad guy turns up because you'll see straight ahead not on different part of the rooms walls ha ha... anyway the graphics are much better for resident evil 4 and 5 plus i love the music for those games it's really good as well plus it suit's it as well ha ha... all I'm saying is hopefully the Japanese creators are going to continue on making more resident evil games...

I had been wondering whether to buy this game since mid March, and I pretty much forgot about it after it first came out. Then I was shopping the other day and was looking for some new games when I came across it again. I decided to buy it and I was quite surprised at how impressive it was overall. The graphics are especially beautiful and near perfect, and the storyline, though pretty much the same as RE4, is still great. I have no problems with the new game style except that I feel they should have done a different type of storyline, not one that was obviously copying RE4, which was pretty much the best game I have ever played on PS2. Still, apart from that, I have no other faults to pick with this game. Seeing Chris and Jill again, and also Wesker, made the game even better for me. Sheva, the new character, is also great, I took a liking to her almost at once. Seeing Chris and Jill, and Chris and Wesker together in a new game is brilliant and I praise the makers of the game for doing this for us. The enemies, boss enemies and locations in this game are also great fun. I can't really say that there is a part of this game I didn't enjoy. The only thing I would like to say in closing is that I hope the next game (if there is one) chooses a completely different type of story, without the Las Plagas. I would really like to keep the new game engine though, since I really enjoy it. 8/10

The Resident Evil/Biohazard games are some of the best experiences a player can have. You're constantly looking over your shoulder to see if there's something behind you and not looking forward to going forward because you just know some maniacal monster wielding a chainsaw is coming to get you.

A few years after the fall of the umbrella corporation, The leftover biological weapons that the corporation created have wound up in the hands of Terrorist organizations.The BSAA (Bio-Security Assessment Alliance.) is formed to deal with this new threat. BSAA Agent Chris Redfield is tasked with going to West Africa to track down a man named Ricardo Irving, with the help of fellow BSAA agent, Sheva Alomar. When they arrive at the Village of Kijuju, Something goes horribly wrong - the villagers begin attacking the agents, and pretty soon, biological monsters join in. Also, Chris Redfield's long lost friend, Jill Valentine, might still be alive.

Where the first few games took place in dark, creepy, spooky environments, this game takes a more grittier approach - in a 3rd world country. and while some may think that it's not as scary as it looks, it's definitely not a place you want to be. Considering how West Africa had an Ebola crisis recently and every form of communicable disease will form in a poverty-stricken village like Kijuju. I find that to be almost as scary, if not scarier, than the dark, spooky mansions the previous games took place.

Also...when this game's trailer debuted back in '07, Almost immediately, people began accusing the game of being 'racist' due to the fact that it showed a white American guy killing African people who were infected by the biological weapons. But the game wasn't even close to racist. Even voice actress Karen Dyer, who gives Sheva her voice, said "This game is not racist, because if it were, I would not be doing it."

I recently picked up the re-release version of this game, which isn't much different than the 360/ps3 versions, other than the faces are more detailed, and the framerate is much more smooth. It also includes more stuff to do, so for $25 it's worth the purchase.

First game I played.

• Positives

Chris is awesome Great graphics Super challenging Awesome bosses

• Cons

AI To much action Needs to be in the dark more

Short review Is it a bad game, no. Is it disappointing to fans, yes. I fortunately wasn't a fan, and found this game to be loads of fun. I have put in a lot of time playing through the story, mainly just for farming loot. Once you get an fully upgraded Magnum with unlimited ammo, then the game is a breeze. That gun kills every thing. And you can also give Sheva the Desert Eagle. While it is fun playing with these weapons, it does ruin any sense of threat or difficulty. And I never had any problem with the partner's A.I., lucky for me I guess. There are plenty of unlocks to be had, and collectors items to be found, so it adds to the replay value. Of course there is the online co-op, I've never tried it. And lastly the mercenaries mode, pretty much just a horde mode type game-play, it's still fun.

The game is really goofy and over the top, but the game play is fun, and it's fun to watch ( Xcal and Waldo-dude). There are plenty of oh sh-t! moments during combat. It isn't all that bad, surely not as bad as RE6 anyways. I like it, that's all I have to say.

Chris need more protein.
