Resident Evil 5

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

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.

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

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

Let me start out by saying that this game is good. Very good. In the Resident Evil universe once you beat the game there are always more things to accomplish so if you buy the xbox 360 version you'll really enjoy it. One of the letdowns of this game is that it's almost the same thing as Resident Evil four. The same item management, the same sounds that the guns make, pretty much the same controls. Resident Evil 4 was an amazing game but Resident Evil 5 doesn't add much to it really. I thought the plot was a little bit better then the fourth though. It has a little more edge and mystery. One new thing about this game is the cinema action modes. You will just be walking and boom! Out of no where comes a huge boss that you have to dodge or a boulder that you have to run away from. It adds a little more edge to the game. Overall, Resident Evil 5 is a fun entertaining game to play, but not as good as the first one.
