The vgchartz ranking game--Resident Evil 5!

[scruffybunny]

Here is my belated entry :p

9.5/10

+ Sheva is so hot, so is Jill and Excella and Wesker lol
+ Very good character designs everall, every character is memorable, except that black guy that pops in and out of the script and Chris is too robotic.
+ Story is like a big budget action movie, entertaining but sloppy cliches sometimes.
+ Short game but lots of replay value
+ Lots of tense moments (on first play through before your weapons become super weapons)
+ Enemies and bosses require some figuring out, where to shoot, how they are vulnerable etc
+ Very suppressive atmosphere at the starting areas, dead stuff, strange rituals. Keeps that element where you enter a strange town and all the locals come out to see you, just so they can kill you.

- PC controls are not as good as Wii controls by a long shot
- I miss the wise guy Leon of RE4 (Does that Leon even exist outside of RE4?)
- Short story, a lot of critical moments are carried by cut scenes
- Online open co-op with strangers suck, people join your game, buy stuff then leave everytime. And they never speak english (of course i don't speak myself, no mic).
- Managing the AI co-op player is frustrating at times, especially when the game requires each player to do certain tasks, like using the gun turrets on the boat. However, it is very good at certain things.
