Resident Evil 5

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.

I never played any resident evil game because i never been interested in any zombie movie or plot but definitely i have been curious about Resident evil since it have a lot of fans. So i began to play Resident Evil 5 the visuals really impressed me, and i mean the movements, distorsion, dust, details etc. but to be honest i didn't like at all the gameplay in the beginning. After finishing one time i figure that Resident evil 5 is made that way because the creators want to maintain a tactic gameplay, i like Resident evil 5 a lot because you have to think what to do and where to go before all zombies are in your back. The plot is real interesting is one of the best i have seen in PS3 or Xbox360 games because the plot is detailed and argument very well all characters and story maybe the only i dislike in the plot is that Chris and Sheva (the protagonists) don't get too well because both are very serious. Cutscenes are another great part of resident evil 5 the cut-scenes have been done extremely well, cut-scenes are in real time but they aren't in full screen ( disappointing ). Action is intense and add a lot of fear and make player think what will happen next, bosses are simply amazing and extremely fun to play i know a lot of resident evil fans dislike all the action in Resident evil 5 arguing that resident evil will transform into an action game instead of horror; but for me the action in Resident evil 5 leave me more tense and anxious to see what next in the game.

GOOD -Stunning Graphics; distorsion, details, human movement, environments. -Amazing gameplay: very tactical and intuitive -Accion and Horror; at hand one to another can be an extremely good mix -Co op: at last some game that can be played both ONLINE & OFFLINE -Plot: complex and intriguing -Great bosses

BAD -Sometimes i wish Sheva and Chris don't was partners, as they can be friends. -Sometimes the IA parter can be frustrating -Cutscens should be fullscreen

9.3 out of 10

the original resident evil was a huge classic when it came out but after multiple sequels definitely in need of a revamp and then came along the game that would revolutionize the industry RE4 and it was awesome to say the least but 5 years later we have RE5 and its not quite as good but its still a total blast to play and shows its worthy to have a spot in my library of games. Story- the game has a decent story but its nothing jaw dropping. one part that really ruined some of it for me is the "big twist" which was absolutely horibble due to its presentation but it wraps everything up well. Graphics- this is the prettiest game I've ever seen from the beautiful to texture work to every detail capcom managed to get in there this game looks awesome but the animations could use some work as they quickly grow stale but that wont stop you from gawking at this game. Gameplay- this is gonna be different for everybody but in my opinion the controls aren't very well done in this game capcom deliberately did the controls the way they did but moving and shooting doest take all the tension away from the game but it wasn't a handicap i dint get used to in around 10 mins or so. melee attacks are awesome and the game will keep u enjoying yourself. plus co op is just the best simply put next to left 4 dead and even then its pretty close enjoyment- this game has replay in mind and with the best pacing in video gaming ever in my opinion u wont get tired of it and then there's is planty to unlock and keep you comin for more and even if you get tired of that you have the surprisingly addictive mercenaries mode to keep you coming back believe me you wont be getting bored of this one for awhile. overall- this game isn't as good as RE4 but it still is one of the best on the market if you can get over a few minor blemishes like the controls and bland story 9/10

Having just completed R.E 5, I have to admit to feeling somewhat disappointed. As a HUGE fan of R.E 4, my expectations were set quite high. After all, Resident Evil 4 was ground breaking stuff. Sadly, I don't feel this sequel delivers.

The plus points are fairly obvious - huge similarities in terms of game-play, controls and the overall feel of it, just like R.E 4. Alongside stunning graphics.

The minus points were, in comparison to 4, 5 only lasted approximately 10-12 hours for the main story whilst 4 lasted about 20+ hours. The depth of complexity the former title had was missing (the many cut scenes requiring quick reactions, the deeper story line, the riddles, puzzles and various locations). Granted, some of these featured, but they were scarce.

So in closing, 5 is a good game. A very good game. Nicely done, and enjoyable enough. But, it's not a truly great game in terms of a follow up to 4. It was promising, and something we fans eagerly waited for. But Resident Evil 4 STILL reigns supreme. R.E 4 - 10/10. R.E 5 - 7/10

Really badass action. And chris was also made amazing , Got big biceps .
