• Positives

Chris is awesome Great graphics Super challenging Awesome bosses

• Cons

AI To much action Needs to be in the dark more

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

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...

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

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.
