It was good, but not the best Resident Evil game out there.
I have to give them a thumbs up for not making the assiting character as useless as Ashley Graham, but instead Sheva, a little bit less hot than Ashley but she can acually [gasp] take care of herself without your help, she can also carry a weapon. She will also hold things for you and grab money for you. So she was a good add in.
I have also got to admit that Wesker is at his most badass in this game, even though he dies at the end of the game.
Although they brought back the inventory slots along with Chris, that was a downgrade from number 4. I acually prefered organizing my inventory. But in turn if you were happy with Resident Evil 4's gameplay than you should be happy with this game.
