Resident Evil 5 Video Review

This game was good but nothing compared to resident evil 4 The zombies have guns that sucked

RE5 is definitely a good game, but it's not a REAL resident evil game. Though it features some main characters it has none of the atmosphere or fear that previous resident evil's had. Overall a good game, just not survival horror.

Looks like the slowest paced game ever made, haven't played and will not play.

One of the best RE games and xbox360 games a must have or at least a most play ...

RIP Resident Evil 1996 - 2002

@rosscow u should brush up on your history, first of all not England but Britain owned a PART of Africa, France, Germany, Italy etc all had a part of africa also so make sure u know facts before u post.

RE4 is one of my favorite games and I think this and RE4 are going to the best

Resident Evil 5 real name is:African Killer this game is nothing this game is insult for everyone and monsters carry weapons:):) they are talking:):)is this Resident Evil????

you ppl should realize that years ago africa was a colony of england, there are in fact a lot of white ppl there who moved from england and took up roots.generations ago, beside africa is where all human life can be traced to.also there are a lot of french and spanish speaking cultures. africa is one if not the most culturally diverse pieces of land in the world...

@ Mistwaver1985 I Agree racist is such a deluded word nowadays.

I realize the MOVE works flipped upside down, so you CAN use the MOVE button upside down as the trigger, and the trigger button to pull up the aiming reticule... just stupid that Crapcom can't even utilize the MOVE's trigger button as any moron would presume it should.

You know how people say Res Ev 5 is racist? What else would there be in Africa other than blacks? I mean, seriously! Also, they don't seem to give a crap that white people are killed. But when you have to kill a black, they go crazy. Come on, we're all people here!

so killing white zombies is alright, but killin black ones is racist eh? .... common guys there aint no racism here.

@FolkIore [quote]WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THIS GAME IS RACIST, YOU ARE IN AFRICA THERE IS NOT GONNA BE A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE...[/quote] Actually, there are a lot of white people in Africa, but I fail to see how this game is racist. I really do. A lot of people were claiming Sheva's "Tribal" costume was racist, which I fail to see why seeing as how she's African and all. But hey, you're always going to have people crying and hollering racism. It's part of today's society.

@swavemente [quote]should i get this or splinter cell conviction please help[/quote] Don't even waste your time or money with Splinter Cell: Conviction. Just don't. It's terrible. Just absolutely terrible! They've taken the focus from the story and put it into co-op missions that have... well, no purpose other than mindlessly killing. You get the same satisfaction in this game, but with an amazing story thrown in to boot! Co-op is extremely fun when played with a buddy, and accels beyond Splinter Cell: Conviction in every way imaginable.

@Kubillay [quote]RE Gaiden better than this game.This is not even RE. very very bad game.[/quote] I think you need to catch up on the lore and story up to Resident Evil 5, because this is definitely worthy of carrying the Resident Evil title. Resident Evil 5 continues to carry the story forward. We're in a new era of the story, so don't expect to see the same type of monsters and tactics as you've seen in previous Resident Evil games. And to be quite honest, I'm glad to see the change in style. The previous Resident Evil games were getting very boring. You seen the same types of monsters, which for the most part just consisted of zombies holding their arms out creeping up on you with a boss here and there. Sure, it was okay for the first and second installments, but after that it just became too overused, boring, and predictable. After the fourth installment, Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, the franchise was in need of a change. With this new generation of Resident Evil the monsters are more varied and dynamic than ever. You have to worry about dodging their exploding arrows, and they come at you with a wide array of different weapons, as well as tons of different types of monsters and bosses. The Executioner is terrifying. One wrong move, and his huge axe can take your head off in a single swing.

I just waited 4 years for this, and although it doesn't scare me, it's a good action adventure.

Great review, I have played through RE5 many times, its a great game in a great series, one of my favourite things about the main entrys in the series is the pacing, its always really great & manages to give the player just the right amount of action and downtime.

This game deserves a 9.5. The only valid complaint he has is that the stop and shoot gameplay isn't for everyone. Co-op works fine and no weapon trading is fine so that random people don't quit out and permanently keep your weapon.

This is a great action game but it cant stand up to resident evil 4

i like the part he said wesker look like the guy from the matrex

the graphics are impressive and it starts well but it feels so clunky that i found it frustrating. it also has a strange ratio which cuts alot of the screen away in splitscreen, which i'm not a fan of. it certainly seems well made so i'll give it another go but it feels like with some improvements to the controls it could have been even better.

it is cool game like dead space Gameplay but here u move step back and kill

im pretty sure this video has been edited somehow. the texture of the reviewer looks kinda weird, sort of computerized. or may be i'm just seeing things.

good game but it didnt have that "special feeling of 4". and yeah, sheva is annoying as f. although when you control her she can be better than Chris. I loved the part with the savages and oil field but not the ending part, ruined it like RE4 all offices and closed buildings :( i gave it an 8

After 2 years this game still has some of the best graphics ive ever seen.

A title that would... define... Silly pause.

I got the game, and it's really good so far but i'm stuck. My own fault for doin it on the hardest difficulty setting. i'm on the underground bit when sheva carries the light, have so little weaponry and when I do get to the end of the tunnel I get ambushed in the huge cavern opening. I loked at the play through guide and still die. Help!!!

my friends finnally talked me into getting this game, and i gotta say, its pretty great so far.

i love this game.

the game is good, there is no doubt about that, but it ain't perfect. a good 8,5 i agree with GameSpot on that one.

RE Gaiden better than this game.This is not even RE. very very bad game.

I didn't particularly like your dependence on the sidekick since she was stupid as f***. She constantly wasted herbs and sprays on me when I only cut myself a bit. She was like one of those really fussy mothers. In fact, I had to run away from her in a manner of sheer terror - which ironically is more than I felt for the undead in this game - just so she wouldn't heal me. Speaking of stupidity the inventory system gets the nobel prize for stupidity. By this system's logic, over 100 grenade shells is equal in weight to 9 herbs as a result of the fact you can only carry 9 slots. Sure, you can give some of it to your partner but she simply cannot be trusted. Apart from that, the gameplay is engaging, the graphics are great and although the story wasn't too immersive, I found it reasonably interesting.

I didn't care for the lack of scares in this game, RE4 wasn't that scary either, I miss the old PS and Gamecube RE's before 4.

I Heard Many RE Fans Bash This Game just Becuase it wasnt like RE 4 Com On People This Is RE Not Gta Capcom Cant Always Hitt The Jackpot

I wish we could've fought the El Gigante thing on foot in this game

i love this game so much that i am watching the review for the 5th time even though i own this game for more than a year. i guess it's all bout the coop that keeps me going and still wanting to play this game. i got a freakin 600 hours of gameplay until now (which of course also includes a lot of mercenaries and mercenaries reunion)!! and i'm not even bored of it yet. of course after a while i need to have a new game that i'll play heavily for a month or two, but i'm always coming back to this.

one of my favourites!

I love this game ;)
