If it was your first RE game, I can see why you might like it.

7/10

It was a good game in coop, but the overall game still felt like some Hollywood B-movie.

7/10

The game wasn't a 'true' resident evil game...
there wasn't even a single scary moment in this game.
and it did not improve on RE4 controls....

Sooo my prediction was spot on. Where's my cookie ?

6.3

Horrible controls. No sense of scariness. It's just a generic TPS series now. And not the best TPS by any means either. Bring back static cameras and actual suspense.

Yup and what's crazy is that the success of RE 4 inspired Gears of War which inspired countless other 3rd person games and the cover system in Killzone 2.

Shame that they stayed behind the times and didn't improve enough on RE 4 because at the time I thought that game was one of the best I've ever played even though the tension was mostly gone it was still a good game and fun to play. 5 on the other hand is mostly boring, too easy and the partner AI was annoying it should have only been optional.

7.0

As a resident evil game, it completely lost the atmosphere, there was no fright, there was no suspence, there was rarely a moment where I was even suprised.

It has devolved into a generic shooter with a semi-decent plot and horrible control (for a shooter)

Also I want to punch the shit out of the AI controlled Sheba so many time, only thing she's good for is a ammo mule. *grumble*

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.
