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

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

Did you know
- 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.
