Resident Evil 5

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

First game I played.

• Positives

Chris is awesome Great graphics Super challenging Awesome bosses

• Cons

AI To much action Needs to be in the dark more

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.

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

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
