Best Resident Evil game made

User Rating: 9 | Resident Evil 5 X360
4 years ago, Resident Evil 4 came out and showed the world what it was made of. Thanks to great Controls, great graphics, a good story line, fun and addictive gameplay, and so much more, it's no wounder why it had 3 versions made after it's gamecube release. But finally, Resident Evil 5 is here and lives ups to it's expectations.

Resident Evil 5 story isn't scary, but still good. The story puts us in the boots of Resident Evil 1's hero, Chris Redfield. Chris, and his new partner Sheva Alomar, are out to stop a deal going on between terrorist, while at the same time, must find out what happened to Chris's old partner, Jill Valentine. The story, while not the most original, is still very good. It's more of an action movie story than a Resident Evil Story. It's also ment to tie up the lose ends of the series as the next game is said to be a reboot to the series.

Design and gamplay wise, it's everything you know and love about Resident Evil 4. Your always going foreword, with different paths leading to some ammo. The game will take you a dozen hours of play time, so you won't get board. fast. The pacing is just perfect. Your never gonna get board with the environments as you never get tired with each level. It never feels like you being dragged on.

Resident Evil 5 keeps the familiar desien and stays true to it. In terms of gameplay, think RE4 on the 360 and PS3. The controls are starting to show their age, but none the less control well. The A.I is the same as ever. They'll still group on you, navigate the environments, and so on. Shooting is the same excellent as ever and challenging. You still stand and shoot, and it's still fun as ever. Weapons are the same, and still work the same. One of the reasons this game will not be leaving you 360 or PS3 is Co-up. Playing with a friend with this gameplay is fun as all hell. Playing alone, not as fun, but still fun. Your A.I controlled side-kick does a pretty decent job, just don't give them any Health objects as She'll spend it a lot. speaking of health, when your or your partner are badly injured, you can go up and save them. This works fine, but it does take out the challenge of the game a little. There are also some area's where you can take cover in, which will make you wounder why there wasn't one put in the game. There are new physical attacks like stomping on enemies or Falcon Punching them(lol). The gameplay is still as fun as it's always in, and thanks to some tweaks, and makes it much better than RE4.

Resident Evil 5 is one of the 1st game that can go toe-to-toe with games like Gears of War. The graphics are just incredible. The character's look amazing, and almost real when looking at their face's close up. There's is some screen taring, but it's so little, you won't notice it. The music always hits the right moments and the voice acting, while some times going a bit over the top, is still solid.

Resident Evil 5 is a much better game than RE4 thanks to the tweaks they made. While it does feel familiar to Resident Evil 4, and doesn't have that Resident Evil flare of the "oh my god, i'm gonna die" feeling thanks to you being able to revive by your partner, it's till an amazing 3rd person shooter that should not be missed. Do what ever it takes to get this game! Chris and Sheva are no Thieves.
