At least make the effort to copy and paste the summry of the review...

Closing Comments
With Resident Evil 5, Capcom has broken away from many of the survival horror conventions it pioneered. The creepy suspense of the earlier games has been replaced with an action-packed intensity that will instantly appeal to some gamers and disappoint others. As an action game, RE5 is a success, and there’s a wealth of replayability through item collection, weapon upgrades, score chasing and the unlockable Mercenaries mode. But this is no gentle nudge to the formula of the previous main RE games; it’s an evolution. And if you can accept it as that, you just might love Resident Evil 5.

 

IGN Ratings for Resident Evil 5 (PS3)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
8.0 Presentation
RE5 has a slick look and feel, but there are some usability issues. Split-screen is confusing to use, menus can be somewhat cumbersome and loading is abundant. No Mercenaries online? Really?
9.5 Graphics
One of the prettiest games of this generation. Lighting, textures and landscapes are often stunning. There’s some screen tearing here and there, but it’s minor. Enemy animations quickly grow stale.
9.0 Sound
Music is understated but sets the tone well, especially the nerve-jangling song that plays when enemies approach. Voice acting for most characters is surprisingly good, but some is just terrible.
8.5 Gameplay
What RE5 lacks in standard survival horror it makes up for in action-packed combat, satisfying on-rails segments and killer final chapter. Controls are beginning to feel dated for an action game.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
For a game with no competitive online multiplayer, RE5 has incredible replayability. Beating the game in various ways unlocks modes and features, and Mercenaries will keep you coming back for more.
9.0
Outstanding
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

The closing comments should read 'RE4' everytime he says 'RE5'.

 

I honestly wish Resident Evil would have its survival-horror genre back in place of all the action



Around the Network

Good Score. I have it ordered but I can't see myself wasting valuable Killzone time on the game for a while



At first I wasn't so impressed with the game and had some problems with the controls, but after playing the demo with my brother for the third time, it's very easy to use.
So the controls are actually pretty good.



a good score for a normal game,,
disappointing for a numbered Resident evil game

isnt this the worst numbered resident evil game for ign ?? damn you capcom and your COOP

Nah, that's Resident Evil 0 (8.2).

Ironically, that's also the game that had "co-op" (kinda).

 

 



i seen the ign video review he says "RE5 is a good game if you pretend its not resident evil" i think it should be reviewed more harshly
its not an action game its ment to be a survival horror it should lose points
