Resident Evil 5

From the ashes of old conflicts, a new terror arises. The Umbrella Corporation and its crop of lethal viruses have been destroyed and contained. But a new, more dangerous threat has emerged. Years after surviving the events in Raccoon City, Chris Redfield has been fighting the scourge of bio-organic weapons all over the world. Now a member of the Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), Chris is sent to Africa to investigate a biological agent that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by another local BSAA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth behind the disturbing turn of events. Featuring a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, Resident Evil 5 will let players experience fear together as terror moves out of the shadows and into the light of day.

This is definitely a game that should not be missed. Beautiful. That is the first thing that comes to mind when you first start the game. It looks absolutely beautiful. When I first popped it in, I was playing it on a standard-definition TV, and it still looked great. Play it on an HDTV and it's a whole new world. The graphics are stunning. The controls take a little getting used to. As others have said, you really need to get used to not being able to run-and-gun. If you want to kill something, you have to come to a complete stop and you will remain stationary until the gun is back by your side. This takes some getting used to because sometimes you won't even realize how close the guy you're about to kill is until you go to shoot and see him swinging. After the first 10 minutes or so, however, you should be golden. Another thing that takes some getting used to is how slowly the camera moves when you are aiming your gun. Once again, it only takes a few minutes to get used to and then you're a pro. Story-wise, it was OK. Not great, but far from bad. Not nearly as captivating as Resident Evil 4, but still pretty solid. My biggest complaint about this game is the length. It's rather short compared to most games of the genre. I have read that the average time it takes to complete RE5 is between 10 and 12 hours, which seems rather short. I was able to beat this in only a few sittings, as were a few of my friends. While the game is short, it is definitely a challenge. You will die a lot. And I mean a lot. On the last chapter alone, I died 15 times. Some enemies are ridiculously overpowered and have an attack that can kill you in one hit. Others just do not seem to die. But the challenge is what makes this game so good. While you may get frustrated at times, the challenge is absolutely captivating. You will find yourself playing it for hours on end, wanting to continue playing even thought you know you should just put the controller down for a few hours. All in all, this is one of the best games that you can buy for the Xbox 360. It has very few cons, but many, many pros.

What I like about this game is that the Resident evil series is the best but in my opinion I love Resident Evil 5 the most than the other Resident Evil. Its a good game for people who like shooting, scary moments, zombies and other stuff.

Resident Evil 5 is a great game for RE fans RE 5 has the same laser sight from Resident Evil 4 but its Chris story going to the west African branch and stopping a deal of B.O.W.S graphics are up to date and good gameplay is nice and the story is great.

I absolutly love this game! RE4 transfered the combat system and made it even better in this.the graphics are extremlly realsictic and watching heads and gore exploding never has been better.the only problem i had with this game was the replay value,there is'nt much to do(if you have versus and all the map packs then your fine!)when you beat the game on all the difficultys and get the achievments you want.Overall,this game is a must have even if your a RE fan or not!

I understand those people who give the game a chance and quit right away. DON'T! You WILL regret it, the controls aren't exactly the most comfortable in the world but just try playing on amateur at first or play with a friend who already played the game to get used to them. Once you get used to the controls you will love the game.No it might not have classic zombies but that is no reason not to give the game a try I still find myself playing the campaign quite a few times especially with a friend online.

I bought this game yesterday, just to get up to speed in the Resident Evil series. I read the reviews and people said that it was great, but I didn't really think so. The controls are ridiculous. You have to press like two or three different buttons just to reload, or knife the zombies, which by the way aren't really zombies, just crazy people and you can't move and shoot or move and knife at the same time. It's a hard game. I don't know about it. It's not like the others. I hope Resident Evil 6 is better.

This is a great game. The controls may feel odd at first but in time they feel completely normal.There is a great story line.The game itself gets dull after the campaign but the fact that their are hidden weapons and collectibles and a multiplier and 2 DLC's.When you play the game you play at hours at a time. The story is so addicting , the times your not playing the game you wish you were.The games graphics are amazing the game is beautiful.Well if I were you i would be rushing on my to gamestop to get one of the best games ever.Do it now!

This is a very great game. I understand that some people don't like it because it strays too far away from the original RE games. That doesn't make this a terrible game. The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, the music design is awesome, and the Co-op is the best feature about this game.

Out of all the Resident evil games, this one was my favorite. I loved the story-line, graphics were superb and way better than RE 4, and the co-op was awesome. I loved how they added split screen in, too. The game has so many extra content, it makes you want to keep playing until you unlock everything. I got it 2 months ago and i'm still in the process of unlocking hidden and extra content. This game is always fun to play with a friend. Resident Evil 5 was definitely worth my money.

The Game isnt overly great as far as gameplay goes. Its nice that you have to stop to take your time and be accurate but at the same time annoying when your being surrounded by a group of monsters. I loved the game though i havent beat the game yet i think i only have a few levels to go through, but i have enjoyed the game. Great replay value but its a game for a certain kind of a gamer thats for sure. Resident Evil earns a 9/10 for me.

Twenty minutes in and I didn't even want to finish the first chapter. Boring story line, bad gameplay, you can't even survive the first battle without restarting quite a lot. Unless you're willing to cuss at your screen all night, don't buy this game. It's not worth it at all.

You probably suck at the game. I went through the entire game without dieing once. It's pretty easy. I found it fun, intense and the story was awesome This game was meant for Co-op.

I can not believe why everyone is saying they like this game. It is so bad. You move way too slow. Your partner just gets in your way. The ammo is limited. You can't shoot and move at the same time. Very disappointing

Have you actually played the series or did you borrow the game from a friend to try it out?? The game has been like that for a long time, it has always been a move and then shoot game and not simultaneous. You must have given up on it pretty fast haha

you are highly wrong about the game. have you REALY played it or did you play it for 10 minuites of something at your friends house and got boared of it and decided to play cod. the other thing that bothered me about you comment is that your ammo is limited. what do you mean by that? cod has limited ammo and so does any other game. now have a good day sir.
