  Resident Evil 5 is amazing

I love this game. It is so good and so scary. The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down players' spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilizing a revolutionary new 2-player co-op mode of gameplay, players assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom has players fearing the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.
For those new to the series, Resident Evil 5 may not be what you expect. It's neither scary nor survival horror, and though its story throws plenty of love to longtime fans, you don't need to be one to enjoy it. Ultimately, it's an action feast for two with just a little gristle amid all the delicious blood, bone, and brains.

  Great Game, But Isn't Like the Series
Review created: 03/10/09
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Graphics: 10/10
The graphics are beautiful, there's no other way to put it. The movement of the characters was created by real time actors in suits with movement trackers and the results are stunning. The realism is incredible and everything looks as if it could happen in real life. The graphics themselves look better than ever - it's almost as if the pre-rendered backgrounds from the Gamecube came to live in an ever interactive environment in which many things can be destroyed or used.

Story: 9/10
There will be no spoilers in this section. The story naturally continues from where Resident Evil 4 ended. The Ganados were pretty much taken care of, but Albert Wesker (the series' main antagonist - with his characteristic black coat, permanent black sunshades, a botox face and a classical horrible villainous accent) got a hold of the virus. Africa is the new setting of the series and it's up to Chris Redfield, one of the series' returning main protagonists, to stop Wesker at all costs.

Chris is accompanied by a female partner called Sheva Alomar, who is a surprisingly interesting (read: so hot, I wanna take my clothes off) character as you traverse deeper in the game. There is chemistry between Chris and Sheva, and this game might as well be called quite righteously a 'buddy game' (compared to 'buddy movies'). As I don't want to spoil anything more about the story, it suffices to say that the story is one of the better told scripts in the gaming world, and the most interesting of the series since Resident Evil 2.

The Gameplay: 10/10
If you've played Resident Evil 4 you know what to expect. The controls and gameplay are kept true to the revolutionary fourth part of the series, and with it the added element of co-op play online.

No, you can't move and shoot at the same time, but I'm of the opinion that this isn't a bad thing at all. In fact the complaints seem to come from a so called priming effect. Let me elaborate. If you've been playing games such as Left 4 Dead, Dead Space or Fallout 3 and you've been playing in 3rd person, you've gotten used to strifing/running and shooting at the same time. These games have similar gameplay mechanics and the enemies are not like the enemies in RE5. Not being able to move and shoot at the same time will feel a little weird in RE5. Funny thing is, would you have been playing Resident Evil 5 (or similar games with similar controls - if they would exist), and you would then start playing one of the games mentioned before, you might find yourself wanting to perform a quick turn and getting smacked by a creature because of your spasm movement that you wanted to be a quick turn. Resident Evil 5's controls suit the game. The enemies are adjusted to the principles of Resident Evil, and if you remove these very elements of the series, you'd end up with (even) less 'RE feel' than you would now.

Summary:

Graphics: 10/10
The Story: 9/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Sound: 9/10

+ The game breathes awesomeness.
- Fear you *can* forget. There are only a few little creepy moments, but the continuous suspense of the earlier games is never achieved.
- If you're a RE veteran you'll find that many scenes have been recycled, and after a while you may get the feeling that you've seen that by now.
- Sometimes, scenes as well as gameplay are a little over the top. Often this is a great thing, but every now and then it just pushes your limits over the edge as to what is still acceptable as realistic in a Resident Evil game.

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!

  UMBRELLA REVIEW
Review created: 03/09/09
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I was lucky to have a friend on holiday when this game came out in Jaoan so i was able to get hold of it a week before its UK release. There first thing you'll notice is that the graphics are very highly detailed not just characters but enemies as well theres also a large array of guns avilable as well. The story takes place in Africa in a fictional African Village at least thats where you start, you take controll of resident 1 and CV character Chris Redfield and through the cam you'll be assited by his new partner Sheva Almor intrestignly you can also play on line and off line co op witch gives the game a better spin. I don't want to give to mutch away but a two old faces turb up you can probably already guess who from the numberous trailiers but there are some amazing cut scenes and expert motion capture scenes. Ozwell E Spencer finally shows up as well after almost eleven years off being in the shadows. The enemies in this game are amzing at first they may seem just like the gandos from RE 4 but you'll see there very different the boss battles and sub bosses are great and you'll soon be thrust into one right from the start of the game. Also keep your eye out for the lickers from RE 2 because they make an apperance as well. The story moves along smoothly and at good pace you'll spen the first half of game pursuing Ricardo Irving a Bio weapons terriost working for TRi Cell and the later half of the game trying to stop Albert Wesker from unl;ease the Ourobors Virus it all finishes of with a final battle with wesker at the top of a volcano. After completing the game you'll unlock alternate costumes and the mercanires mini game witch evry body knows from RE 4 is great fun and highly addictive. Althoug htheres no denying this game is great and very challenging it isn't really scary theres nothing really in the game that will make you jump although this might not be the same for everyone.

Otheralll and fast paced action shooter witch ties up the story nicely.

Gameplay 10 - Great shoot ups and quite intense boss battle a superb some people wont like the invertory system or the real time rloading but it makes it lot more realistic

Graphics 10 - Characters, Enemies and enviroments all look great

Music/Sound 10 - Gun fire and exlposions sound brillant not sure baout the music all the way through but the ending music and most of the other parts sound great

Longetivity 9 - While the mecnaries is great fun and will keep you playing it could have done with more unlockables although the new collecting side of things to unlock figures is a nice touch as well it really could have done with another new mode like RE 4's sperate ways.

39/40 - Great fun and brillant end to a story arc could have done with a couple more unlockables but a great game otherall I'D pre - order now if i where you.

These are the best graphics I have ever seen on a Resident Evil. It's also the best Resident Evil yet and the best zombie game out there right now.

  Resident Evil 5: 10 Things to Know
Review created: 03/25/09
by:
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Here are ten important things you need to know about Resident Evil 5:

1. Graphics - RE5’s graphics are amazing, and they are some of the best you’ll find on a console.

2. Controls - I embraced RE4’s control scheme, but the same scheme today feels a bit outdated. You still cannot walk with your gun or knife ready. The developers say it is more realistic this way, but even in cut scenes Chris walks with his gun pointed forward. And now that I think about it, why can’t I simply walk up and punch or kick someone? Why must I wait for them to be stunned?

3. Sound - A lot of the sounds including the music are very similar to RE4, which is a good thing.

4. Co-op - With RE5, two players can together. Awesome! One problem with co-op is the fact you can’t give weapons to your partner. That doesn’t make any sense at all. Also, watch out when using an AI partner for Sheva. She sometimes wastes ammo, refuses to use her powerful weapons, heals you unnecessarily, and dashes off.

5. Items - All items have been needlessly streamlined. The weapons are less complex, there are no more combinable treasures, and yellow herbs are nowhere to be found. Also, you can buy items anytime between chapters. I liked the merchant in RE4, but he’s gone this time around. So who are you buying items from? Apparently, just a menu system. Also, RE5 redesigned the item management system in order to make it more realistic than RE4. I like how it no longer takes me out of the game, but sometimes it is hard to use. The fast equip feature via the D-pad is greatly appreciated.

6. Horror - RE5’s biggest issue is the fact it continues the series’ trend of removing all aspects of “horror” from the survival horror genre. In fact, I would just call RE5 an action game with elements of adventure. There is rarely any suspense, the action is almost nonstop, and many of the potentially scary settings occur in daylight.

7. Bosses - Simply put, the boss fights in this game are not as original or exciting as RE4’s boss fights. Most are easy, unvaried, and unnoteworthy. Some of the boss fights don’t even feel like fights, but mere struggles instead.

8. Puzzles - Unfortunately, RE5 offers virtually zero puzzles. There’s not even the task of combining treasure. The only thing remotely close to a puzzle is finding the blue BSAA emblems. Shooting them is a cool way to unlock bonus features.

9. Saving - I like being able to save my game at various points, and I like being able to start a brand new game, but these features are gone. RE5 keeps track of all items and money you have so that to play previous chapters, you always bring your latest gear. It almost makes it too easy.

10. Charm - RE5 lacks a lot of the charm found in RE4. Chris is almost emotionless, whereas Leon was witty and classy. The quick time events in RE5 are overdone and predictable, whereas in RE4 they were fun and surprising. The only character with real “character” in RE5 is Irving. It seemed the whole cast of RE4 stood out.

Conclusion
Resident Evil 5 is a short, fun action game, but it lacks a lot of what made its predecessor so great. The only improvements are the graphics and the addition of multiplayer. The rest of the changes negatively impact the overall fun of the game. Still, it is a fun game, and I recommend it for any Resident Evil fan or those who are looking for a good action game.

  RE5: A Must for Any Collection
Review created: 05/21/09
by:
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Resident Evil 5 is one of the best third-person shooter games I have ever played. I would even equate it with games like Fallout 3 and GRAW 2; that's quite a statement coming from me as I LOVE those games. If you have ever played any of the RE titles, this game is an absolute MUST. So, for the breakdown:

GRAPHICS: 10/10
Hands-down, some of the best visuals ever. Sure, the game is not without its momentary choppiness & random error, but overall the picture is so good its nearly breathtaking. Capcom has overdone it both with the characters and the scenery, taking Resident Evil to a place that it has never seen before; you know the visual is good if you can turn suburban Africa into a delight and still make it believable...

CONTROLS: 8/10
The controls really frustrated me at first. First of all, you have to hold two buttons just to fire. Second, all of the axes are increadibly slow. Lastly, the game requires several different action buttons, instead of just one. Things can become confusing rather quickly. HOWEVER, all of this is easily fixed. Well, most of it. I discovered that the axes can be sped up randomly during mission 3. The random button thing is easy to ignore. The other stuff, I'm sorry to say, we are all stuck with. Oh, and holding A to run? WHY???

SINGLE PLAYER: 9/10
Though it takes a small amount away from the enjoyability from the game, the one-player mode does have its benefits. For one, you don't have the second player stealing all of your ammo (and ammo is GOLDEN). For another, its way easier to see without the damn splitscreen... But, I'm sorry to say, the CP is a retard. She will NEVER do anything right. Other than that, it is utterly impeccable.

CO-OP (2): 10/10
A-freaking-mazing. Without the stupid CP, you're home-free. Just be sure that each person has very different guns (so you don't steal eachother's ammo) and that you don't split up too far apart. Basically the best 2-player co-op game I have ever played.

BONUS FEATURES: 10/10
Though the figurine thing is pretty stupid, its cool to be able to unlock special costumes and stuff. Also, even though it's not quite a bonus feature, the gun-upgrade system is superb. Weapons can be upgraded in nearly every aspect, including capacity, firepower, and piercing capability.

OVERALL: 9.4/10
I would MOST DEFINATELY reccommend this game to anyone that likes third-person shooters. It is by far one of the best that I have ever seen. Sure, there are some things to get used to. But what game doesn't have that? Plus, if you are playing on Xbox 360, mann of the achievements come with the main mission and the rest are pretty easy to get. I got a good portion of them my first run through. But yeah. Happy Gaming!!

To be perfectly honest if you are
a fan of the old good ones, dont buy
this game. Otherwise if you want an
average action game with zombies
and monsters...go for it, the multiplayer
mode is well done but there is few problems
about the menu possibilities, even compared to
RE 0.

Amazing Game with great replay value. Basically sums up the missing chapters of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine who were apart of the Racoon City incident in the original Resident Evils. Wesker is also back and plays a very big role in the game. Gameplay is amazing and the graphics are very clean and pretty.

I was looking forward to this game coming out but at the same time didnt really want to spend 60$ for it but after playing through the game I am glad I did. It was a great Game I played through on Medium and it took me around 12 hours to complete. The items and all the hidden treasures and Achievements are really fun to get. I am on my second play through and enjoying just as much as the first.

do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
