    Great co-op Resident evil adventure. Cool story conclusion for Chris and Wesker. This game aged fine, I recommend giving this a try.

    Resident Evil 5 was a letdown when it came out. It did not live up to the expectations built by the previous titles from the Resident EvilResident Evil 5 was a letdown when it came out. It did not live up to the expectations built by the previous titles from the Resident Evil series, RE4 in particular. It derailed from its roots as one of the scariest video game series and took a cheesier and over the top action route, but in a horror setting.

    Graphics and sound are very good for its time and still hold up. More importantly, co-op is very good. No, this is not another example of “any game is better with co-op”. RE5 was designed to make co-op enjoyable and it is meant to play that way. On the other hand, there are quite a bit of the annoying QTEs, one of the most tedious gameplay mechanics ever invented. I would not say the story is very interesting and the ending drags a bit. However, the game keeps you engaged in the story, thanks to the awesome cinematics. There are many well made cutscenes in this game that are enjoyable to watch in their own Japanese exaggerated way.

    Overall, Resident Evil 5 is worth a co-op playthrough, especially if you approach it with expectations different from what you would set for a Resident Evil game, and try to enjoy it for what it is.

    PS: Don’t skip the "Lost in Nightmares" DLC. It plays like Resident Evil 1 and is overall a very good DLC, definitely better than the main game. Desperate Escape DLC, on the other hand, is nothing special.

I ended up downloading multipleProbably due to my age, and not being as fast as I was in my youth, this game is very difficult to play stock. I ended up downloading multiple mods and altering a few additional things as well, and this game became immensely fun.

    This is a fun action game, with many uncomfortable control configurations for me. I do not like the random hit a key or die parts of the game that come up frequently, nor do I care for the instant super boss, which is not quite like the classic Resident Evil. The boss fights, villains and foes were all well done, just nonsensical. I just kept laughing and thinking, matter is neither created nor destroyed, unless you have a virus apparently.

    In all, this is a very fun action game with a decent Resident Evil story hidden inside. I thoroughly enjoyed them game, with the assistance of some mods, which alleviated the awkward controls, limited field of view, and the hit this key or die now parts. With the Resident Evil remakes occurring, and Resident Evil 4 on the table for its new release next year, I am looking forward to seeing what they do to Resident Evil 5. Everything is there to be a game of the year, but it just needs more Resident Evil within.    … Expand
