    Resident Evil 5 is very similar to Resident Evil 4 regarding the game play, but obviously the graphics are amazing and you have a partner, which actually bothered me at first, but which I now appreciate.

    For all fans of the series Resident Evil, this is a must !

    Strongly recommended!

    However, I would also recommend to complete Resident Evil 4 before this one, for those who haven’t done it yet.

    One critic though: the main character (Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 1) is a little too muscled… I preferred a thinner body size, such as that of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 4. But I forgot this little inconvenience very quick while playing…

    If your like me and played resident evil 1 2 and 3 and the rest. your probably wondering about what happened to being scared. The whole game feels like a shooter not a survor horror. DOnt get me wrong the game is good. If you played re4, the re5 controls take a little time to get used to. The game is overall great but its NOT SCARY. Ots just a shooter. occaionally you will die( in the beggining. The only thing that makes this game good is the versus. BUt you have to pay for it in the playstation store. The last boss could have been much much better. he is too weak. The game isnt that hard to beat. Overall the game is great the campaign is long and worth playing. BUt once again capcom should go back to making resident evil scary again. IF your thinking about buying this game you should buy it. Great game!

    Ok first off all i am gonna say this is only 3rd resident evil game i have played so i wouldnt know about it that much. But all i can say is this game is awesome, it has a coop mode which is extremely fun to play with a friend. AND ITS AWESOME even now it is a must have especially considering the price drop!!!!!

    I’m sure everyone knows the back story for these games and if not there are many sites that can do a much better job than I can, even though I have played through all them so far. But if you haven’t played the last games you really don’t have to, to enjoy this one.

    For this game at an average price of ~$55 you get:

    -Great graphics and visuals

    -Awesome sound, real time surround sound effects are great.

    -Great action/adventure story to play though twice with two characters

    -Tons of rewards, weapons, costumes, and items to find that increases replay value.

    -Then add all the above with free online action. Online runs great, actually its hard to your online, it runs that good.

    If this games is your style of play your going to get a lot of time out of this game.

    My husband and I love this game. It is great if you like to play the campaigns together. What I like is that you can start the game alone but if you have a friend that wants to join in you start at the same level, you do not have to reset the game! It is a must buy if you love to play with a friend at home. Right up there will Resistance (the first one). In addition, it is a fairly long game so you get your money’s worth. The only thing is that this game is a little scary for the little ones so I would not recommend it for anyone under 13. Other than that enjoy!

    Ok, let me get this out of the way, I have played both the 360 and PS3 version through the first couple of chapters. I don’t see a difference, both versions look fantastic!! This is an absolutely beautiful game on either system, I purchased the PS 3 version because I am still, and always be a fan of the Dualshock controller, I guess you could call me a dualshock fanboy.

    Ok some reviewers hammered home the comparisons to RE 4, and that’s fair, apparently Capcom didn’t want to stray from what worked for them and RE 4 was a runaway hit. I like that the game “feels” familiar but different at the same time. I played the demo a lot to get a handle on the controls, because we can all agree that they take a bit of adjustment from other 3rd person games. I know for the purity of the game Capcom decided to leave the run and gun aspect out of it, but I can’t tell you how many times I wish I could pull a Gears of War tactic out of my a$$ during some of the more intense encounters, but after adjusting to the RE frame of mind I adapted quickly.

    The story has enough cheese in it to keep me happy, I am perfectly happy with the story, my level of escapism with the game was just right, I don’t need a life altering story to make me love a game.

    I can’t recommend this game enough, it is perfect for me in many ways. In my opinion it deserves my 5 Star rating.

    add me for some co-op! I am trying to get more friends on PSN!

    *EDIT*

    I am adding that the inventory/cash system is ridiculous lol. You can literally farm levels for cash, ammo, weapons and treasures over and over and over…

    I still love the game though, online co-op is amazing.

    Resident Evil 5 broke so many rules it’s hard to count them all. It’s not particularly scary, it’s not a Survival Horror game, it’s not a Run and Gun or a Sneak Around. The inventory system sucks and the dialogue is fittingly campy. Awesome variety in weapons but until the final battle you only need one weapon. It’s easy to tear apart a game that was hyped as much as this one but upon completing the game for the seventh time I realized something. This game destroyed my life for two whole weeks.

    I have a job. I have a girlfriend and a daughter. I’ve got a life with responsibilities. And I ignored all of them for two weeks. I didn’t eat. I didn’t sleep. I was late for work a number of times. I’m pretty sure my kid forgot what I look like and my girl friend still won’t talk to me. Resident Evil 5 is absolutely addicting. It’s just so much fun. I won’t be able to say anything about the game play, dialogue, inventory system, or boss battles that you can’t read anywhere else on the net. All I can say is that this is one of the best games I’ve played in many years. If you haven’t already bought the game then go now Daniel-San and make this purchase immediately.

    ***Feedbacks***

    I had always had my Eye on Resident Evil 5 but then i started reading alot of negative feedback and hearing that it wasnt worth buying. So i waited until the price fell down, that way if i didnt like it, at least i’d only spend under 30 bucks on it instead of 50 or over. But i really enjoyed myself, the game is addicting and i can play it all day and all night. It just goes to show that you can’t really rely on everyone else’s feedback. We all have different tastes and experiences when it comes to games and not eveyone is going to like everything. So its best to give it a shot despite what people say about it.

    ***Gameplay***

    I believe the controls are the same as with Leon, including the shooting and Knife method. During the cut-scenes you are required to push the correct buttons at the bottom to avoid death. Your partner is Sheva, she will be with you until the end at all times. Unlike Ashley, Sheva is very valuable, reliable and SMART! What i mean by smart is the fact that she’ll knock over the ladder if enemies try to climb up, she’ll even set it back up. if you give her the sniper rifle, she’s better at perfect aim when it comes to distant enemies. She’ll heal you, give you ammo if you have the gun that is consistant with it (she’ll take it out of her inventory and put it in yours). The barrels and boxes are in this one too, the only difference is that everytime you find one, you are guaranteed to pick up something. I’ve found ALOT more items from these places then in RE4.

    The graphics, the way they move and facial expressions are excellent! There are a handful or plenty of boss fights, tons of places to go and the gameplay is really long which i like alot! I think it’s an extra chapter long then RE4. You will get to drive a speedboat to navigate through the villiages, you’ll get to use machine guns/rocket while riding in the back of a truck to help kill off coming motorbike enemies etc. Bascially everything youre doing requires team work.

    One of the greastest things i like about the game was finally getting your hands on Wesker and having a showdown with him. He’s movements are awesome and i would say he’s the second coolest Video game Villian next to Sephiroth (FF7). The bad thing i hate about it is that people say this is the end of Wesker. The guy is just too cool in my opinion, but i also read that we’ll have to face one of his siblings in the next resident evil game if i read right.

    You can choose which character you want to be but everything such as the item shop window and their health status will be on opposite sides from each other. For example if Chris uses his knife with the left hand, Sheva will use her right hand. so it takes alittle while to get use to.

    The two-player option does come in handy ALOT. you can fight boss battles easier by confusing them because with Sheva as a computer, she’ll just follow you and stand by your side. but when i was playing with my sister, we kept the boss between us. The chapter completes will be AlOT faster. with sheva on computer, she wont pick up everything available, such as gems and ammo etc. the only thing about playing with someone is that your screen will be split into two horizontally. it does take some time getting use to it but its pretty cool playing with someone.

    ***BAD THINGS***

    1)Sheva does get in the way ALOT and she ends up wasting tons and tons of bullets becuase she gets behind Chris and shoots him in the back, even though she’s aiming at an enemy in front them or Chris. Even when Chris is behind her, trying to aim at an enemy, she’ll get in the way too. So its like either way, you just can’t win! lol. I usually try to stand beside her. But if you accidentally shoot at each other, it doesnt count at all. Their life does not decrease, unless you use a rocket launcher really close. You will kill yourserlf and/or her.

    2)One of the most annoying things about this game is the fact that it lured alot of idiots. What i mean by that is, they are trying to turn this game into a racist video game. As we all know RE5 is set in Africa and most of your enemies are black. Okay, I’m a black female, I get it that most people arent use to black people being IN video games and yes i control a white dude name Chris shooting a bunch of black dudes in the head, but does he really have a choice? especially when these black dudes arent in their right minds anymore! Plus he’s got a black partner who’s shooting her own people too. When you play some of the first few levels, i’ve noticed that there are light-skinned zombies too that are like arabian or indian or something, but not all of them were black. ALso as someone else brought up, Leon shot a bunch of spanish people in the heads too, but yet i havent heard of any stupid people crying “racist! racist!”. In Racoon city, there were both black and white zombies along with a few women. These two games are VERY identical and i didnt find anything alarming about black zombies. In fact, i even forgot that they are were black becuase it is something i didnt concentrate on, i was too busy trying to beat the game. People are so freaken crazy!

    3)There arent any typewriter saves in this game, which is a disappointment becuase its like they stopped the tradition of the save method. Also, once you enter a certain area, you will find that you can’t go back. Lets say you forgot to explore an area or missed a box full of money, once you go through a door, elevator or whatever, to the next level, you can’t go back.

    4)Their inventory boxes are REALLY small, Chris and Sheva can only hold 9 items at time but you find LOADS of ammo and herbs around the place, and you can’t help but grit your teeth when there is no space left. I have no idea what they were thinking by giving them such a SMALL inventory! However, what i learned to do about that, is when i come to a checkpoint or save point, i push the start button and pick “restart level”. It will take me back to the main inventory/store screen and i can put all my items up on the storage box to create more room. then when i’m done, it will simply take me back to where i left off in the game. (as long as you’re at a check point or save point, so you wont have to do everything all over again.)

    5)The controls are REALLY awkward at first, it was very hard for me to get the hang of it becuase of how difficult the camera angles were, but as you play along, you will get use to it and forget all about it.

    6)You don’t find much money (coins) in this game, it is really scarce but the prices are sky high. BUT If you play on the HIGHEST difficult level, everything doubles and triples. if you normally find 3000 bucks in a box, you’ll find 6000. zombies normally drop 100s and 200s. you’ll pick up 400s and 800s instead.

    7)You might have to turn some of the music down becuase sometimes its hard to understand what the characters are saying, especially when it comes to their accents. Plus the captions are too dain small, so its hard to even read that. Even when youre reading files, the words are hard to see, they could have at least shade the background for us to read better. Now i don’t have an HD tv or modern tv, so that could be the problem. I still have the same tv that i bought all the way back in….maybe 2004.

    8)Another thing about the inventory is the fact that you can’t be drawn away from the action WHILE youre roaming through your inventory. You’ll have to take cover or use the inventory quick before an enemy attacks you. there is no pausing screen for their inventory. BUT the directional buttons on your controller DOES correspond with the items inside your inventory. for example, if you press the left directional button, Chris will take out which ever item you have put in the left side of the inventory.

    9)Sheva may be smart, but she’s also annoying and a pest. when your health runs out, you fall into this misery stage where if you do not get help from your partner in the certain amount of time it shows you (a bar will gradully decrease) then the character dies. Lets say Sheva is really far away from you becuase she needs to help you activate a device or goes to retrieve an important item. She goes into that misery mode and begs for help, but you can’t do anything for her beucase she’s far away. so she just dies and the game is over.

    ************************************************************************SAVE MONEY*********************************************************************

    I’m REALLY REALLY upset with the fact that they have launched a new RE 5 called the “Gold Edition” at the last minute when i JUST bought this one which is bascially the same game but comes with TONS AND TONS of extra stuff, such 4 MORE costumes for Chris & Sheva, plus other gameplays. So i would suggest that you do NOT buy the original release of RE5, instead buy RESIDENT EVIL 5: Gold EDition. You will get twice or more stuff with that copy then with this. (if i’m wrong about some things, please correct me)

    ***Goodies to Unlock & Main Menu***

    There are tons of things you can buy or unlock. At the end of each chapter, you’ll get a certain amount of points depending on how well you have done. (if you play on the highest difficult level, you earn a heck of more points, so it wont take you longer to unlock stuff) These points help unlock infinite ammo, character profiles and some other things. There are a few character outfits you can unlock, each have two of their own and you can pick which one you would like to be as a default. The Menu screen is awesome.

    You can replay through any chapters you want, after you’ve completed them, of course. So this gives you a chance to kinda skip around or go back to retrieve any missing cheat items that you missed. Now i heard that the item shop is so easy to take advantage of. for example if i’m at the end of the game’s last chapter, but go back to chapter one and play through it to get more items, it will keep those items in your inventory no matter where you are in the game. Even if you start another game and play through the whole thing a second time etc, everything will still be there.

    At the Menu there is a Mercenaries game, you can either play with a partner (screens will split) or you can play alone. There are about 7 chapters to this one and bascially you just kill as many enemies as you can before time runs out. I havent fooled around with it much, timed events make me so nervous. :D

    There is some sort of online gameplay, i’m not really sure becuase my ps3 isnt set up properly yet.

    There are 4 difficulty levels you can play as, I think they are Amatuer,Normal,Vertern and….well that last one is REALLY REALLY tough becuase one hit can leave you crippled and the enemies are quicker, so be careful.

    Overall, i had a blast with this game and i’m glad i gave it a shot, woo-hoo! This game is worth buying, especially if you are a long-time resident evil fan! :) Oh yea and Chris is gorgeous!

    I am a huge fan of RE4 and waited for a long time for this one to come out. I have been very happy with this game. It feels alot like a continuation with a different storyline. The enemys are much smarter an faster that in the previous game. This version is not nearly as creepy as in RE4. I would just like to make a few points (most of them are already documented here), but this has been my personal experiences:

    Some good features:

    weapon system is much better in that you can assign your weapons to “hot keys” for quick aquisitions.

    All weapons have potential to be unlimited ammo.

    Mercenary missions are fun and add to your exchange points to upgrade weapons.

    You can trade weapons and items with your AI partner during the game.

    Your AI partner will save you if your health gets too low.

    Has very high replay value

    Some not so good features:

    I prefered it when you could mix and match your treasures to make them worth more money.

    Some of the weapons are hard to use. The gatlin gun has the big backpack that is hard to see around. the longbow just does not seem to be effective, and the hydra shotgun is just plain awkward to use.

    When you play as Sheve she is a left handed shooter, so it is like relearning how to play.

    Anyway, I really love this game but it is not really that scary…. but it is very fun. I have read that many people don’t like the AI. I think that it is helpful. The only place that the AI really frustrated me was during the fights with Wesker. You have to hide and be stealth, but your AI partner tends to shoot or run out and give your position away. The bottom line is that I think if you like RE4 then I see no reason not to like this one.

    I thought this game was great. This game made me buy a PS3 after the PS3 price drop. I thought the graphics were great and so was the sound. The story line was pretty good and I wasn’t expecting to see Jill in the game so that was nice also. I am new to PS3 so the controls took some time to get used to. I played all the other RE games for Gamecube so…it was a nice upgrade for me. RE5 is just slightly a notch below RE4 (which is the 2nd best game I have ever played right after Zelda:Ocarina Of Time). Three really minor things that bothered me about this game was the AI would waste ammo and in the final battle I had to use the hand knife to beat the game, it wasn’t as scary/horror as the original RE but still fun and during loading between levels you couldn’t read the history of RE because the loading was so fast. I am going to play it online next and see what that is like. I highly recommend this game to those who haven’t played it.
