Video Game Reviews of Resident Evil 5
Customer Review: RE5 gets 5 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game was very much similar to Resident Evil 4 in graphics, weapon usage, maneuvering of the characters, and fast pacing of the story line. I played in Coop mode and every chapter was challenging and worth the cost of this game. Great ending, and I can't wait for RE 6! Customer Review: Resident Evil in a Doom/Quake Mode
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent Game, this Resident Evil blends with the Doom/Quake game and is wickedly great with the graphics. Best game out there if you are into this type genre.
Customer Review: Fear?
Summary: 5 Stars
Fear? phwa not in this game. Thats what i love about it i hated RE4 when id get scared to death. This game is not scary at all its just plain fun. There are lots of weapons to choose from and yes you can still upgrade your guns which is nice. Best of all Co-op my brother bought this game and i played through by myself 2 times Normal and Veteran and now i went through on Normal and Veteran with my brother and starting Professional mode. Like i said this game is amazing. Some of the best graphics i've seen. Also when you beat the game you get Mercenaries mode and if you beat it under 5 hours you unlock Infinite Rocket Launchers which is AWESOME especially for bosses. 1 hit kills.
Overall I recommend this to any RE Fans and also people that have never played a RE game.
Customer Review: Am I Playing Resident Evil???
Summary: 2 Stars
The worst parts of this game are:
1. The fact that its all in the daytime with no scary elements like fog.
2. The fact that this Sheva chick is in the game and in the way. I constantly bump into her as I run through a tight doorway. She is on my back like a bodyguard. Why did they have to add her?
3. The view is bad. It seems like I'm too close to the TV. Also Chris is on the left side of the screen instead of centered like all the rest of the Resident Evils. I feel disadvantaged as zombies on the left seem to pop up like I'm missing a left eye or something.
Thats it...I'm not going to do the good parts because the bad outweighs them.
C'mon Capcom...Redo this Nightmare!
Customer Review: Lost its roots from the rest of the series
Summary: 2 Stars
I found RE5 to be a huge let down from the rest of the RE games in the series. Capcom really slipped on this latest version. This game had alot of potential to be a really great horror flick, but failed miserably at being scary. As alot of other RE fans have mentioned, RE5 is missing substance. The following reasons are why I gave RE5 a bad rating. There's more reasons why this game doesn't meet RE standards, but I listed my biggest concerns.
1. Camera angle - Unlike other RE's this game seems to borrow its camera views from games like gears of war. I don't believe the camera angle fully captures the action of the game. It misses out on the feeling of the other RE games. RE5 almost appears as another title separate from the rest of the RE series.
2. Button configuration - The combination of buttons the gamer has to press in order to execute a move is initially difficult to adapt to. RE5 has an unorthodox button layout which doesn't follow the pattern of the rest of the RE's.
3. Surprise/horror factor - If RE5 was someone's introduction to the RE series, they would most likely be deterred from enjoying the rest of the RE games. RE5 fails to build on tension that gives the gamer the sense of horror or the suspense of being frightened. The game takes place under daylight, and is mostly in areas out in the open so it is easy to fend yourself from enemies.
4. Game play - Once you play the game you'll know what alot of other fans are mentioning about. The AI in RE5 is just terrible, as the gamer has to protect the computer during the whole duration of the game and supply it with ammo/life only to have it wasted. Not to mention the real time menu option in addition to the loss of save rooms accompanied by the typewriter for saving. Capcom waited long to make this game and made it ridiculous. RE5 is not as (if not) replayable as its other counterparts.
5. Creativity - Bosses in RE5 just appear and have no attachment to the RE storyline. RE5 borrows 80% (if not more) of its material from RE4 its predecessor. Rather than building on RE4, RE5 replicates some of the same enemies/bosses. Overall, the were no bosses that made me think "who's nightmare did this guy come from." Put simply, when I play a RE game I expect to see creepy zombies eating on people like the very first zombie you see in RE1 and mutated creatures that follow you around like the mutant that had the one eye on his arm with the huge claw from RE2 or the phantom tyrant from RE3. Whatever happened to the strange mutations that the viruses caused, besides the parasites? Capcom should consider about remaking this game because it ruins the reputation of the whole RE line.
