Resident Evil 5 Review

KillerWhiteMan · 16-03-09, 06:17

So at first I was a little skeptical about this game. I was not going to buy it at full price but was able to get it for only $25 so I figured why not? Anyway, on to the review. I'm only on like chapter 2 but thus far, the game is fabulous. The visuals are top notch, maybe even the best yet on the 360. The story, like all other Resident Evil stories, is amazing as well. Controls are a bit dated, especially the lack of movement while shooting. The controls are the only complaints I have. Other than the small set backs, this game is definitely a solid 9.5

I’m still not sure if I want to get this or not, I’ve only ever played the first Resident Evil which was quite good. Do you still have to collect items to save? I remember in the first one you could only save if you had ink for the type writer or something like that.

This game is great InsaneNutter. Yes you do still half to collect things in order to keep your ammo and health up. Though saving it does itself. You won't need to collect ink. 9.5 Is my rating as well. I've successfully beat it and the story was amazing. I've now unlocked a few things.

Spoiler

unlimited ammo (only on certain guns, They must be fully upgraded) Plus Mercenaries Mode. Which is where you half to kill as many as possible within 2:00 mins. Though theres a few time extenders laying around.

Plus I'm still playing it to find things I missed and to collect more money. This game is nothing less than amazing.

I highly suggest you get this game Nutter. Even tho it has no multiplayer, it has a huge amount of replayability. Plus the mercenaries mode offers many more hours of play.

I'm not really sure how to say this...Resident Evil 5 DOES have Co-Op...

The game is excellent, to me it was totally worth the 60$. If your a fan of RE4, then RE5 is a must. Only small problem is the friendly AI when your on the single player mode, if you play multiplayer then this isn't a problem. I've finished the game two times and now i'm Co-Oping with another friend. As long as you have someone to Co-Op with its totally worth getting. If i'm not Co-Oping on RE5 and anyone wants to let me know

Ya I know it has co-op c'mon I'm not totally an idiot. When I say it has no multiplayer, I mean it has like no competitive multiplayer. I don't really consider co-op to be traditional multiplayer.

Ah! I only had that impression because I never really thought of Resident Evil 5 having competitive multiplayer. It would be interesting to say the least.

hey guys i dont know if u know this but they release a versus mode for 600 or 400 ms points on xboxlive marketplace

I heard about this actually. I am curious as to how this is going to work. I understand they are doing like a survival kind of thing but also standard deathmatch as well.

Yeah I think I'll stick with the story when playing RE5. Actually asking for money to play some multilplayer content that's probably already on the disk is just wrong! Same goes with SFIV, all those damn costumes you have to pay for.
