    Change from horror but still great

    From survival horror, to nearly pure action. I still enjoyed this game.Adding co-op was actually an amazing touch. The game is good. But playing with a friend is what made this game great! I've never replayed a game as ... Read Full Review

    Imagine a video game so violent and bloody it has no fun nor charm

    Below what a Resident Evil should be

    After the excellent Resident Evil 4, the game kept the same style as its predecessor, which in my opinion was right, but unfortunately could not keep the same level, the plot is interesting, we have Chris back, and now a... Read Full Review

    Favorite Resident Evil franchise

    This is the best Resident Evil franchise of all. Graphics were good and I was happy that they finally defeated Albert Wesker for good this time after years since the mansion. And I was shocked when part 6 was released wh... Read Full Review

    forced co-op and dated mechanics ruin this game.

    Resident Evil 5 tries to play off Resident Evil 4's success, but fails. There is no option to play this game solo. You have to play with either an a.i. controlled partner, or with a split screen local or online player... Read Full Review
