I gotta say, it was a great game. I downloaded the new chapters (Desperate Escape and Lost in Nightmares) and played RE5 again for the first time in months. The graphics are still among the best I've ever seen. Why this game isn't brought up in graphical debates is beyond me. The co-op gameplay was as fun as ever. The game was good.

My complaint about RE5 was the lack of scares. They needed to do something with the pacing to give it moments of high tension. But would that make for a good co-op game? Is it still Resident Evil? Well after playing "Lost in Nightmares", I'd have to say it's better than classic Resident Evil. In the old games, the scares wore off after the first playthrough (and by RE2, the games weren't scary, anyway.) The amount of backtracking and lack of inventory were horrible. That made for some good tension, but did it make for a good game?

So I played co-op "Lost in Nightmares". The tension was there. The backtracking was there. The old Resident Evil feeling was back! And I was bored out of my mind! I may not play through it a second time. I've played and re-played RE5 more times than I can remember. I'll play through it again now that I have new costumes.

So, while it may not be a great "Resident Evil" style game, it is a great video game....in my honest opinion.



DirtyP2002 - suk it
Im new you should stop reminding me ok and your the one with the xbox
this game is great and fun with alot of tension and suspense



D21lewis - your a genius and i like the way you think
thats exactly what i think
even though the next game should change so that the series keeps evolving



Graphics- 9.0
Gameplay- 8.5
Length- 7.0
Story- 8.0
Enjoyment- 8.0

Overall: 8.1. It was pretty good, but nowhere near as fun as Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, for me.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

9.0/10

+ Great action game especially with a friend
+ Some of the best boss fights this gen
+ Great graphics and original settings
+ Huge replay value
+ I get to fight "Shades Boy"

- AI partner can be really dum
- Story is meh (but its an action game so who cares right)
- Cant walk and shoot at the same time

@bolded

thats actually one of my favorite things about it, it brings more suspense !

Interesting way to looks at it, so your saying that it was intentional

Got to admit.....it did bring more suspense (guess that one is off then)

of course it was intentional.

Every RE is that way.

because the camera wasn't behind you.

I agree with Skeeuk, my GOTY 2009.

Off-topic: Skeeuk, are you trying to confuse us with your avatar and sig into thinking you're CGI? Or are you that big of a Heavy Rain fan?
