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...
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

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

- TriviaThis is the first Resident Evil game where all previous games are referenced, in so much as upon completing the game, a history of Resident Evil is unlocked detailing the past 70 years. This means that it is finally explicitly confirmed that the survivors of Resident Evil (1996)/Resident Evil (2002) were Chris, Jill, Barry, Brad and Rebecca, and that the level "Umbrella's End" from Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (2007) is officially considered canon.
- GoofsThe Gatling Gun is incorrect in this game, in real life, the GG is a hand crack gun that it attached to a turret of some kind. In the game, it's a Mini Gun that runs off a battery.
