Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 isn't exactly the best, but the graphics and storyline of the game is truly epic. It is about betrayal, loyalty and above all, staying the hell alive while protecting each other. Like most 2 player games, if one dies, you both die.

Resident Evil 5 review by Negi

As the majorly detailed characters fight their way through gator-filled swamps, an old ancient temple, barren gem filled deserts and, of course, the huge tech lab where it all starts, you can't help but feel a little...less tense than the previous games made you feel. Don't get me wrong, if a couple of zomibes ran up at me with a pick-ax and their mouths splitting open like off of a "Predator" movie, I'd probably shit my pants too, but to do it in the middle of the desert and swamps? In broad daylight?

It's like the previous games, sure, with great looking effects and weapons to boot...but now it's with the lights on! I think they killed what made Resident Evil a scary game. Shocking? Sure. Especially with the bosses, and the ability to hurt yourself with your own bombs. Using one recovery for two people kicks ass. I assume the programmers thought "Hey, if one of them is about to die, why not heal them both instead of wasting a perfectly good bottle to recover half a health bar?" With only a couple of nighttime scenes, or dark area scenes, it kind of defeats the purpose here.

Even so, the game is totally worth being played over and over again: shooting the zombies, blasting off diamonds for even more bad-ass weaponry and of course, the EXTREMLY hot AI chacter you get to play with, depending on your preference of course. RE5 is full of logic, action, puzzles, and different bosses that are so unbelievable in design that you don't really wanna kill out of pure awe of the thing.

Unfortunately, as the storyline continues, the game is made more like a movie than a video game. As you play, you have to deal with the cut-scenes as well as just wanting to kill something to see what it'll look like. As you fight off miners, indians, giant bat/scorpion creatures and your own soldiers, you'll find that you enjoy placing a bullet right between their eyes, and if that doesn't work, you could always stomp off it's head or stab him in the heart.

I give this game a B+, not exactly the best shooter game I've ever played, but definately worth playing.
