    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


    :
    WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THIS GAME IS RACIST, YOU ARE IN AFRICA THERE IS NOT GONNA BE A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE...


    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.

    :
    should i get this or splinter cell conviction please help


    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.

    :
    RE Gaiden better than this game.This is not even RE.

    very very bad game.


    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.

    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.

    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
