    Yet none of that stops this game from being awesome in its own right, and if you can look past the awkward and clunky controls, you're going to have a lot of fun. Here's hoping the next update thinks as far outside the box as Res Evil 4 did in comparison to its original counterparts. Read more

    So in the end what we have is a supremely polished game dripping with great graphics, fantastic sound, sky-high production values, a strong story-driven campaign, great replayability and a co-op element which is among the best we’ve seen. The level design is generally good although the puzzles are a little too easy and some of the later levels seem to be a mish-mash of design and themes from other well known titles. Although Resident Evil 5 is now less of a survival... Read more

    I’d love to tote this game and consider it top tier, but I can’t help but see it from the point of view of someone that has never invested in a Resident Evil game before. The grim reality is if you’ve loved the series than this is your cup of tea and if you’ve never experienced it you would most likely see the flaws in this game over its qualities. Call it chicken feet: I like to eat it but you may not. Read more

But has Capcom’s latest entry in their popular horror franchise lived up to its huge hype or is the undead series mutating too much from its origins to be true survival horror fun? Read more

    Resident Evil 5 is a great action romp. The basic gameplay fundamentals remain from RE4, but it still has enough positives to classify as a worthy title. The new inventory system is great and the co-op implementation is good for the most part. The overall presentation is superb, being not only the best in the RE franchise but one of the best this generation. While RE5 hasn’t reinvented the third-person action title, it maintains many of the great RE qualities we’ve... Read more
