Resident Evil 5 (Playstation 3, 2009)

Resident Evil 5 is a Must Have for those who like to combine horror with a game! The fifth part is the first Resident Evil I played, but I can already after the first 8% of the game say that I will any part of this series, which is still guaranteed to follow will be for sale.
Exceptionally well I liked it that the player often referred to during the video sequences is required, in which he is the right moment a button!
However, I think that if you look at this game then, respectively uncut!

Graphics: Excellent 9.0/10
Sound: Excellent 9.0/10
Gameplay: Very Good 7.5/10
Replay: Great 8.5/10
Overall: Great 8.5/10

Note to the reader: I have been playing the Resident Evil Series since it’s introduction on the Playstation One.

Graphics: Excellent 9.0/10
The graphics are excellent, the cut-scenes and in-game graphics are seamless, and this is as good as Capcom has done for this series. The shadows, lighting effects, and motions are great, and really immerse you into the game. The zombies, the backgrounds, and environments are detailed, rich, and engrossing.

Sound: Average – 9.0/10
The thing that Capcom has always nailed in this series is the sound, and this game is no exception. The sounds of the groans, the heightening tension of the music when an attack is coming, and the sounds of the weapons are dead on. The ambiance is set in the different areas by the increasing tones of heightening sense of importance through the use of music in this game.

Some may say that the voice work is poor, but it goes right along with the “cheesy” style that this series has always had, and the delivery is spot on for those that have been with the series for some time.

Gameplay: Very Good – 7.5/10
Let me start by saying that when playing this game with a friend in the co-op mode, there is nothing better. Having to people that can communicate and work together makes this game perfect. However, that being said, when this game is played in offline mode, it is not the best experience. The computer ally A.I. will shoot you in the back, use herbs unnecessarily, and not help in the most critical times of the game.

Replay Value – Great 8.5/10
Once the game is over, you will most likely be wanting more. Luckily, there are many unlockables, difficulty levels, and time runs to keep you busy for some time. To upgrade every weapon alone (without glitching) would take 6-8 playthroughs! The mercenaries mode, further co-op adventures, and just general playing will keep you coming back for more.

The score would have been greater if Capcom didn’t already include multiplayer on the disk, and charge $5 to download the unlock patch to play multiplayer. This is a trend I do not wish to se continue.

Overall – Great 8.5/10
This is a great game, do not get me wrong, but it is not perfect. This game is a detour off the survival horror that the series has created, and perfected, and has gone down the pure action path. This is not a bad thing, but the controls don’t lend themselves to that type of gameplay.

With less suspense, more gripping events because of the sheer amount of enemies, and over the top ammo and drive of the game, it is a mixture of Resident Evil 4, Gears of War, and the Matrix. Where this game does many things right, it is flawed and glitch in just as many areas. If this were any other title, it would not have been as scrutinized as closely as it was in this title.

Resident Evil 4 was, and still is, on my top 5 games of all time. This game will not place on that list, but I must recommend it just for the sheer fun, playability, and co-op opportunities that are available. This is a must play.

I can proudly say that I own nearly every Resident Evil game in the series, and love every single title... but that statement is on the decline. I can remember feeling my adrenaline rushing because of the mystery of what was around the next corner and the fear of "what if it were me in this mansion/police station" rather than how I was going to stifle an onslaught of.....well whatever new mutagenic monsters that Capcom can think up. Talking zombies... not my cup of tea. That being said, I think the premise is getting a little out of hand (kind of like the Friday the 13th movies) and should return to its roots. /rant

Now that that's out of the way, analyzing this as a standalone game, I think it's simply beautiful. The graphics are crisp, detailed as all get-out, and the player gets the benefit of third person perspective control and first person immersion (much like Resident Evil 4 only tweaked). The controls can be set by the player to accomodate different reflex levels and button configurations, and the story is at least on par with what you'd expect from a newer Resident Evil title, if not surpassing.

Overall, I'd recommend this game to anybody who was thrilled by RE4; however, as the series progresses from mystery/fear to action, so does the ingenuity and motivation to continue funding Capcom's design teams to produce games that have nothing really new to add other than an involved multiplayer platform.

A great game with tons of action, great storyline, unforgettable characters, and I would highly suggest my friends buy this fantastic game.

I just asked a simple question regarding the item I purchased from this buyer,,,and the question was ,,,what it the diffrence between a regualar ps3 game and a biz com2 ps3 game....and for the buyer to tell me to look it up in the internet intead of telling me ,,,well maybe I should have bought it from someone else,,,,,

If you like blowing stuff up and kill hordes of zombies, look no further. With excellent controls and great camera angles, RE5 performs great to bring the series into to the next-gen level.

I personally beat the game 3 times (3 different difficulty settings) and I can see myself even playing it more on the super-tough "professional" setting and also on the online challenges. Usually, I am a one-and-done type of player who sells the game right after beating it, but with all the weapon upgrades/unlocking infinite ammo and other features, it has kept me playing much longer than most.

every thing was perfected and two player is the best, buy it definetley was worth the cash (or credit!!LOL)

Resident Evil 5 is an amazing action/adventure game. It doesn't bring the pure horror of previous titles in the series but it's still a great Resident Evil game. Gameplay, graphics, story are all top notch, this is a sure game of the year contender! You don't even have to be a fan of the Resident Evil series to enjoy this game, it's just a whole lotta fun!

This is an incredible game. A must buy for any co-op fans. So much too do. I wished this game had never ended.

I love all the resident evil games! i bought the playstation 3 just so I could play number 5 !!! Its been very action filled so far!!! Can't wait to play again later tonight!

I saw all movies of Resident Evil. Big fan of bloody scenes. Mila Jovovich is cool and plays her role to the perfection. Kids are crazy about the movie and the game. Awesome addition to my collection.

EVERYTHING WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED

Resident Evil 5 follows series regular Chris Redfield as he embarks on a quest to an “Autonomous Zone” called Kijuju, an area in Africa that seems to be heavily inspired aesthetically by areas like Mogadishu. Chris is searching for a man by the name of Irving, who works for a mysterious corporation known as Tricell and was recently discovered to be dealing in the same type of B.O.W.s (Biological Organic Weapons) that have been making Chris’s (and others) life a living hell since the inception of the series. Additionally, once Chris convenes with another agent, Sheva Almovar, the situation in Kijuju gets from bad to worse once the inhabitants start exhibiting symptoms of the Las Plagas virus from RE4, causing Chris and Sheva to take up arms and fight their way through the situation.

Reisdent Evil 5 feels a lot more action oriented than its predecessors, even Resident Evil 4. The left thumbstick is still used to move your character around, although you now use it to strafe as you walk, and the right thumbstick controls looking and turning, more akin to third-person shooters like Gears of War. The game also puts less of an emphasis on puzzle solving and item gathering than previous games in the Resident Evil series. While these elements are still in the game, they definitely take a backseat to intense shootouts and firefights with enemies. Most of the features from RE4 return in the sequel, including the ability to upgrade your weapons and a store that is accessible between missions where you can buy new weapons and a few items.

The biggest feature in RE5 however, is the inclusion of co-op, allowing you and a friend to play as Chris and Sheva as they go through the game’s campaign. Even if you choose to embark on the journey alone, the Sheva element still factors into the gameplay and storyline quite heavily. Chris and Sheva will each have their own set of weapons and inventory (including finite storage options), and will often have to work together in order to take down foes as well as progress to new areas. You’ll have each other’s backs through the whole single-player campaign, healing and rescuing each other from enemies quite often.

For those that are true fans of the series, this game adds much detail and history to the entire Resident Evil timeline.

Gameplay: 8.5
The co-op element in the game is a pretty daring addition to the RE formula, but one that pays off in a big way if you’re looking to tackle the campaign with a friend. There are a few minor issues, like AI issues and control problems.

Graphics: 9.0
The series makes a smashing HD transition, with great looking character models and detailed environments. There are a few minor framerate issues here and there.

Sound: 9.5
The voice acting is spot on, and the music adds some great intensity to the action.

Difficulty: Medium

Concept: 9.0
Not to spoil anything, but followers of the RE series and its storyline will definitely get some fan service in this entry.

Multiplayer: 9.0
The co-op element is definitely one of the biggest in the game, and playing through the single-player campaign is a blast.

Overall: 8.9
Resident Evil 5 is a great addition to the series, adding some intriguing new features. While there are a couple minor quibbles here and there, it’s still a lot of fun from start to finish, especially with a friend.

Awesome game! The graphics and scenery are pristine and different from other ps3 games. It is cool how you can play 2 player without going online. Its good for couples, I played the girl and my boyfriend played the guy and we had so much fun! We covered each others backs and it made us work on our teamwork! The only thing I don't like is that you can't move when you aim, you have to stay in one spot. The weapon choices are really good, but you have to find a lot of treasure to sell in order to buy and upgrade new weapons. Overall the game is pretty awesome! It is worth buying because the levels are very long and complex and will not finish it in one sitting.

This is the best resident evil game to date. Not only can you enjoy a great story line in the single player mode, you also get to team up with someone online to work together.
Other than the co-op feature, there are many more changes. There are a lot more variety of weapons, ranging from handguns to magnums to grenade launcher....and of course, the rocket launcher.
It is overall a great game...a must have for RE fans.

The game is outstanding, the graphics look very good and thh co-op option is great.I very strongly recommend this game for Resident Evil fans and others.

I bought it cause it is a great franchise. The graphics are emaculate, I recommend this game for someone to purchase.

I like the communication about the game also the game was in great condition eventhough it was used.

THE CASE AND BOOKLET FOR THE GAME WAS LIKE NEW AND IN EXCELENT CONDITION! THIS IS WHAT I LOOK FOR AND WANT SO I CAN KEEP MY GAME DVDS IN PERFECT SHAPE!

Overall the game was great, very exciting parts through out. Resident Evil 5 was not dificult enough, not even on the professional setting. Unlike the rest of the Resident Evil games, this one offers a check point through out each chapter. This takes away from that survival horor feeling. Resident Evil 5 does not offer the free roaming that all the other Resident Evil games did. If you would like to go back past a check point, you must restart it from the chapter select. I did not like the new features of the game, but I have to say it was fun. This game is a renter, not a buyer; unless you are planing on paying for the online slayer and survivor modes.

Seller had fast shipping,item as promised(brand new in sealed plastic)would buy from pthis seller again!!!!!

To put it straight, RE5 is a solid action game that is worth playing
for the 10 hours.

However, the game fails to improve upon RE4 and repackages the same
level structures and enemy types (even bosses) with a few and minor
differences, particularly in how they are killed. It is appropriate
though, given the story is a continuation of the virus from the last
and wraps up this saga of the series.

What makes this game excel is playing co-op with a buddy, one of the
best 2-player modes on next-gen as of today. Unfortunately, the a.i.
during the regular campaign falters in a few aspects. When given herbs,
Shiva responds accurately in combining and healing when necessary, but
when in a few scenarios of the game, where the two are physically seperated,
it becomes a major hinder to playing as you are incapable of healing once
within immediate death and if not healed within a short time period, will
die regardless. On the positive, she does have 100% accuracy and if you
take the time to upgrade her gear as well, she can cover back, when you
need it more then once.

Interface is clumsy when switching between items, when you're rushed
to exchange as the interaction is in real time, leaving no room for
breaks. The limited inventory leaves you to focus on a few weapons
throughout the course of the game, but thankfully every time you reach
a checkpoint or die, you can gain access to your stock to interchange
and weapons can be hot-keyed to the d-pad for switching on the fly
during the action (4 maximum). Naturally, weapons can be upgraded
in all aspects and several makes of the same type, usually specialize
in either capacity, damage, or reloading speed for your playing preference.

The added challenge of the game overall is a nice welcome and is
sure to keep you on edge throughout without a moments pause. Enemies
will swarm you and are relentless, but suffer from closing in too fast
on your position, just to enter a specific attack animation which they
awkwardly back off just to turn around and re-enter the right attack
pattern. Aside from that error, the story is the typical, action
blockbuster, with its cliches and the ending boss fight was incredibly
the easiest, most ANTICLIMACTIC of all. (Think cheap imitation of Krauser
from RE4)

Which is a disappointment, because it seemed they lost all creativity
or interest in finishing up the series or saga in a better fashion.

+ 7/10
