| tehsage said: I went to download the RE5 demo today on PSN. I'm a fan of the original RE games, but, I did enjoy RE4 for the Wii so I thought I'd give this game a try.
Once it's downloaded and installed(lol), I began playing.
First of all I noticed that the sound effects were similiar to RE4. I guess it's okay for a company to recycle it's own sound effects. Anyway, I start the solo campaign because I don't wanna go online without knowing wtf I'm doing. So, I begin the game and here are my complaints: - The controls are so awkward on the PS controller. Maybe it's because I'm so used to playing RE4 on the Wii that playing with a controller is a bit weird. Controls are the same as they were in Resident Evil 4. - There are WAY to many zombies to fight off. Especially when you only have ten shots with your pistol and five shots with your shotgun. Your goal isn't to kill them all. Merely survive. Kind of like the Ganados' village near the start of RE4. - It takes way to long to pick up ammo Takes less time than RE4, as far as I know. - The camera control is awkward. Again, me being used to RE4: Wii Didn't notice anything different with it vs. RE4 - That executioner is way to powerful Not really. A few shots to the head with the shotgun tend to incapacitate him. I can't even get past the beginning of the demo. Capcom definitely lost a purchase for this game. Maybe I'll pick it up when it's cheaper. The game is the most gorgeous game I've ever played. Maybe it's because I'm using a 50" Plasma, but it looks really nice |
Overall, the RE5 demo was lacking due to length, but not gameplay concepts. I had a blast playing it in Co-Op with my brother (took down the chainsaw guy pretty easily on the 2nd try). Died a few times on the Public Square with my GF, but that was because we didn't know to run outside the building when people began to drop in.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
