I love the R.E. franchise and henceforth bought this. This would be a fun action game under a different title. I say this because RE5 plays more like an action game than a survival horror one. Part of what takes away from the eerie/scariness that the franchise is known for, is the addition of Sheva. For me it's not as scary when you have someone else with you all the time. It loses the isolation experience of earlier games. And the in-game interactions between Chris and Sheva are kinda corny and over acted. Like when you tell her to pick up some ammo or something on the ground. But I DO love the fact that you can strafe left and right which makes looking and moving around easier and less of a chore. It does have amazing graphics and the setting looks beautiful, but the setting loses the dark creepiness of old. if you're looking for a cool action game with crazed villagers to kill, I'd say pick this up. But if you're looking for a satisfying Resident Evil game, I can't say you'd find it here.
When RE4 came out, I was hooked! I thougth that there would never be another game like it. Little did I know that only 4 years later, a game would come out that would change that opinion. Every thing about this game is GREAT!!!!! Even if your not really in to games with zombies in it, it still is a awesome action game. It is not so much scary than it is just plain INSANE!!!!! For those of you hardcore Resident Evil fans that really liked the originals better than RE4, then maybe this just isn't the game for you (but give it a whirl anyways!). It really doesn't have that classic Resident Evil feeling that you're "always afraid that something is going to jump out at you." That's what makes the game so great. It gives you that feeling when you're least expecting it. Throughout the whole game, I NEVER wished "come on, just end already!" Throughout the whole game you are always on the edge. Whether it's the Chainsaw Majini, the 800 pound Bat, or the Giant Majini that is in the Marshlands that just randomly jumps out and goes "AH LA LA LA LA LA", Resident Evil 5 is just a great game!
I absolutely loved resident evil 4 but 5 is very disappointing. The graphics move really slow and it just isnt that much fun. I really wish they would come out with an extention of resident evil 4. I would pay double just to have it. Video games are a nice diversion from an otherwise stressful life
"The game is lots of fun. I've got nothing to complain about it. It's worth the purchase."
"Wonderful graphics, fun gameplay and it has 2player mode so you can play the entire story mode with a friend!!"
