    I do have to comment about the controls. I find using the keyboard and mouse a little bit challenging, and standard controllers won't work. It's best then to get an XBOX360 controller for ease and compatibility. Gameplay wise, Resident Evil 5 is a little less creepy than Resident Evil 4, but, in my opinion, a little more fast paced.

    RE5 captures some elements of the original RE. Mostly however they have remade this into a proper co-operative game. For the first time I can remember, this is a co-op that plays like a co-op rather than a single player with 2 players rather than 1. The restriction on items and ammo makes the game a lot more immersive and makes you have to include your partner in every decision. If you RE5 captures some elements of the original RE.

If you play it through on single player you will find the AI lacks as the game progresses. your partner will run into danger all to eagerly and sometimes they will just lag behind offering very little in the way of help. If you play this game through with a sentient being however, your playing experience goes through the roof. All of a sudden you find yourself screaming at your partner to get that shotgun ammo to you ASAP and then you can heal fully. You spend some time after a large battle regrouping, swapping inventory items and creating as much space in there for your upcoming adventure. The play style lends itself very much towards enjoyable, fluid, intuitive gameplay. There are not a lot of times when you ask yourself how the hell do you do 'X'. The whole package is let down ever so slightly by the ending which is scripted too much and in actual fact leads to a frustrating time rather then suspense.

    This isn't going to be a classic anytime soon, but it does deliver a fun game time experience. It is a similar game to Resident Evil 4, but it doesn't contain as much depth nor does it have as much puzzles, which makes Resident Evil what it is known for, and this is why i am giving it an 8/10.

    Great port, good to see that Capcom have learned from the horrendous RE4 port on the controls. Still, I have to give this an 8 due to 2 things: 1. The controls still aren't quite good. 2. If you've played RE4, the deja-vu level is almost excruciating. If you can manage to get yourself past it, you'll find a very enjoyable experience.

Luckily Resident Evil 5 has turned out exceptionally well and may be the best game Capcom has brought to the PC. There are several new additions to RE5, but the formula that makes up most of the gameplay is mostly the same as RE4. The biggest and most obvious addition is the fact that the entire game is played with a partner. The AI used in the single-player is acceptable, but could have been much, much better, so you will want to be playing with a friend online. The controls are awkward, but that is almost exclusively due the game's design, rather than poor PC optimization. The only major keyboard control issue I had was having to press F+V for quick-time events; this combination is painfully awkward and gave me many, many enraging deaths. The graphics in RE5 are fantastic, with the exception of some very low polygon environments (such as the caves). The voice acting is mostly good (though Wesker's voice and dialogue come close to nails on a chalkboard), and the guns sound reasonably powerful. The story in RE5 is captivating, and offers long-time fans some nice conclusions. The best part of this game is the weapons; there are several types and kinds, and they are all very upgradable. This, combined with extra difficulties, bonuses, and Mercenaries mode, gives the game substantial replay value. The main factor in whether you will enjoy this game or not is if you like the core gameplay. If you didn't like RE4, then there is no reason to play RE5 unless you are dying to get a new co-op game. The two dozen or so hours I have put into this game have been mostly of pure joy, though I can't say the same will go for everyone. 9/10… Expand

I'm guessing the controls during the cutscenes is to force you to pay attention so the creators made sure they didn't waste their time with videos people just skip right through. Also, for those of you who are frustrated with switching weapons/items....did you know that the top left box in your inventory is assigned the key 1 and you can assign up to 9 keys (the number keys at the top of the keybord) to access your items in order? The only thing that was frustrating to me is how you can't strafe :( but all games have their unique combat style. All in all I'm giving the PC version a 9 :D… Expand

    I can imagine why true fans to the RE series would not like it cause its not really staying true to its roots, however the story is maintained etc, but gameplay wize RE4 and 5 are quite diffrent, to any other people this game should be pretty awesome.

    While not a bad game, Resident Evil 5 is a step down from it's predecessor, Resident Evil 4, in just about every respect (except of course the eye-candy.) Only buy this game if you plan on playing co-op with a buddy, it's just not that good in single player.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having played this on the PS3, I found the controls on PC to be a little awkward at first - very different from a normal shooter (I'm a big PC shooter fan). However, after an hour or so of play, I find the controls and aiming mechanism to be extremely efficient versus a gamepad. The porting over to the PC is outstanding: the graphics are crisp and smooth, the controls are well-balanced, and the in-game inventory system is very intuitive (click-and-drag combining!). If you only have time for a quick play session, you'll be popping zombies' heads off within 30 seconds of clicking the game's icon. The cooperative experience makes this game, I'm sure. In fact, only about 2 of the 35 hours I've put into this game were played by myself. The storyline is OK, but well-paced. The first run-through you may be looking at 6-8 hours, but the real time gets spent finding all the goodies (BSAA emblems/treasures), completing achievements, or running through as fast as you can (… Expand

This game however is not scary in the slightest but honestly I don't mind, I like that capcom aren't just remaking and rehashing the same thing over and over they made a fun co-op action game which if not for the Resident Evil label would probably be an instant classic. Having tried this game on an Xbox 360 controller plugged into my PC and with the mouse and keyboard I find that mouse and keyboard are far superior. Having played a lot of first person shooters the accuracy and control of a mouse is far superior to anything a controller can offer. My final point is that I played this game with a friend over the internet while chatting on mumble so I never had to deal with bots, as such I can't comment on how bad the bots are but playing the game with somebody else and cracking jokes at the Africans and terrible convoluted plot greatly enhanced the experience. The resident evil series is as classic a series as Mario or Zelda and this is just another great addition to it. Only real complaint I have is that the game is dreadfully short, I bought it while it was on special over steam for just ten dollars but had I bought it for the full thirty dollar price I would have been dissapoint at the eight hours it took to complete this game.… Expand

    When you finish a game and have those special moments to talk about with your team mate it makes the game a little more special. Make sure you have a chat system like Ventrilo during the game to get the most out of it (and to hear your friend freak out).

    Its not perfect, but not many games are. Im not a fan of the interactive movie moments but at least they're very, very short. Also, its a little easy so I recommend the harder setting if you're willing. Also, single player isnt nearly as good as multiplayer.

    Over all, an excellent game to play with a friend at least once through. You may not play again but the first time is something you both should remember with a smile.    … Expand

If you have ever played the 360 version and liked it and want to get the PC version, you should have no problem feeling right at home with this version. We had a problem with our windows firewall blocking us from connecting to windows live (I didn't even have mine on) but we went in and added windows live and resident evil 5 to programs to not block and it worked fine. Some fiddling around with controls and inventory hot keys and the game felt pretty natural.

    The technical stuff and playability is just fine. Story and everything else is more of an opinion, I have no problem with this game, its fun to play with a friend and make strategies and try to survive and help each other out. In terms of scariness, its more like "jesus christ the guy with a chainsaw is right next to me! HELP!!!!!" not "Man its really dark and gloomy and what the hell is that noise?". In other words, atmosphere is not really the scary part of this game, like most horror games, its more just being on edge cause your ammo is dwindling, zombies are closing in on all directions, and a really big zombies is lumbering towards and he just wont die!!!

    You can get this game for a minimum of about 30 dollars at this point so you'll get your value out of it just playing it once, and the game has decent replayability and other game modes. If you have a friend to play the game with its definately worth it. Even if you don't, you can always team up with some random online.    … Expand

    Play it on your friends console or get the demo (on console), but just try it and dont turn it of after 10 minutes just because its too hard to "V" instead of "E".
    The choice of weapons is big too. Some people say "nah, just normal pistol, farm enough cash upgrade that stuff and you can rush the campaign in 1 hour". But no, you can even play with your first weapon, without upgrading, till the end (if you manage to stay alive that long), aim for the head, wait for the enemy to tumble and bash the **** out of him. The managing of the ammo might be a problem for some people, but thats why you have a big-ass knife and your fu**in fists/legs.
    The Coop mode is awesome as hell, combo moves, healing each other and all that stuff, some will say, "Hey, we got that in L4D and all the other Coop games too" but the way they managed to implement all this kind of actions is just i dont know if there is even a word to describe it with, its just awesome.
    The Storyline is fine too, i like it,thats all i need to say.
    The controls on PC are fantastic, i dont know what you guys think about RE4 but the control were horrible without a controller for your PC.
    Sure i had some uncooperative asshats while playing online, but you can end it evrytime, yea and maybe, maybe it had its issues sometimes, but hey which game doesnt had its issues.
    Well, who knows whats wrong with those people who say they had problems with the controls, or its just killing and all this regular stuff maybe they just saw videos and never really tried to play it.

She wastes tons of ammo, walks around like an idiot (during one of the final fights this becomes VERY annoying) and, appearently, can't shoot at alligators. Play this game with a friend of yours, and it'll be even better,… Expand

    Resident Evil 5 is sucha fun game to play. The graphics are really good. Gameplay is great. Sound and music is also good. The storyline is very good. And the thing that makes this game so great is ofcoure the Co-op. I gave it 9 becouse everything is just perfect with this game, but I gave it - 1 becouse of the not so long campaign. Otherwise its awsome. Buy it!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a fairly good game. The plot itself is poor, but the gameplay is rather fun, excluding quicktime events and the ABSOLUTELY TRASHY LAST LEVEL. No kidding, the ending was terrible; incoherent plot-wise, filled with button-mashing and cheap instant kills, and it feels like a shoddy action movie.

    Other than that, the game is fun. There are some cool boss fights (other than the final one), the level design provides a decent amount of variety, and the game generally plays well. But the game has quite a bit of replayability as well; with weapons galore to purchase, perfect, and pwn-with, as well as The Mercenaries minigame, loot to find, and a variety of worthless doodads to collect (if you care). I got about 54 hours of playtime out of the game before it started feeling stale (and I never got into The Mercenaries, either).

    Quicktime events and a terrible ending detract from this otherwise strong and highly replayable game.    … Expand

    Resident Evil, no matter a night in the mansion or a day in kijuju... is equally challenging to survive

    The game incorperates all of the evolved features from RE4, and topped it off with coop play
    more weapons selection

    and a option to choose chapter instead of messing with individual save files

Si tu pc tiene suficiente potencia, esta versión es clarísimamente mejor versión que cualquiera aparecida en XBOX 360 o    RE:5 Gold Edition.

    Destacaré directamente la diferencia más notable con videoconsola. Si tu pc tiene suficiente potencia, esta versión es clarísimamente mejor versión que cualquiera aparecida en XBOX 360 o PS3.

    En videoconsola funcionaban a 720p y 30fps y en PC, pueden correr perfectamente a 1080p y 60fps estables. Claro que es un videojuego del 2010. Sin embargo técnicamente luce de maravilla.

    El sonido es en inglés pero puedes subtitularlo a castellano.

    El modo historia es bastante interesante, bien guionizado, y hay pocos "quick time events" aunque los hay.

    Quizás como punto un poco negativo, es el comportamiento de tu compañera de viaje, un poco más tosco de lo deseable, aunque tampoco resulta grave.

    Aparte del modo historia, tenemos el modo 'Mercenarios', el cual se trata de una contrarelog donde vas sumando puntos por 'estilo' y 'víctimas' antes de que consumas el tiempo...

    ...todo un reto, sobretodo en el modo (exclusivo en PC) "SIN PIEDAD", donde, directamente eres tu contra el mundo...

    ...una auténtica multitud, si multitud. Muy entretenido y dificil.

    Si eres fan de siempre de RE, no sé si te gustará, (he visto opiniones muy contrarias a este estilo de juego, distinto a los primeros) , personalmente el primero que jugué fue el RE Revelations, el cual me encantó, tras él prové este RE5 y sinceramente me ha encantado.    … Expand

    The story happens five years after the events in Resident Evil 4 and you play as Chris Redfield. You with your partner are sent to Africa to track down some bio-terrorist and the story goes from there. You encounter Las Plagas or some kind of it's mutation (was not really paying that much attention) that again turns people into zombie like creatures. Those are not as previously as zombies but you wouldn't tell a difference. Though would a zombie ride a bike? I think not. The story is pretty nice and takes you through a lot of well designed zones.

    On graphical side the game has much improved. From being dark and gray in previous title the pallet shifts to yellow and gray - thus quite nicely giving the African feel. The models are much better detailed and it's quite the step up comparing to the previous one.

    Gameplay has not changed all that much though there are changes. First of - they've added strafing - that helps a lot! Secondly as this game is mostly designed for co-op play you are stuck with a partner which wastes ammo, though heals you a lot making it really hard to die. It's a shame you can't play without the partner. The game structure at first really reminds of the previous game. You are thrown into the most hard part of the game within the first half an hour. At least that was my feeling.

    The weapon shops were removed in favour of what might be load-out menu that lets you store and buy items between levels - or when you die. The inventory system has been simplified a lot as well sadly. There are nine slots, no item stacking and arranging as previously. The weapons are pretty cool and feel nice. The electric rod however is so overpowered for regular zombies that it feels like game braking.

    As with previous game I did enjoy fighting zombies and doing QTEs - not so much keen on the boss fights. Though those might be a bit easier than in RE4. Still played till the end and had enough fun to recommend.    … Expand

    El juego si que tiene replay value, muchas armas por sacar, otras por comprar, tesoros por encontrar, emblemas de la bsaa, ofrece harto ahí, y de la nada empecé a querer sacar todos los logros y lo conseguí jaja.

    See?! It just changed genres! What the hell! I was being chased by a bald guy in a trench coat earlier this morning, and now I'm chasing a longcoat-wearing blondie who wears sunglasses indoors!

    But what did you expect from a name like "Resident Evil"? It was acceptable with the first game, since it took place in a mansion. Then they moved to a whole city, and then a country; now it's set in the African continent, and we really should've gotten the memo with the second game.

    So, Resident Evil 5. What's new? Well, this is the first RE title with co-op; which means that you better play this with a friend, or suffer the consequences of an unreliable AI, which serves the same purpose as Lydia from Skyrim: carrying extra baggage. Do you remember how to conserve ammo in RE4? You either run through the ganado horde, or stagger them with a bullet, then come up close with the knife, right? Now there are new melee mechanics, where you can deal damage if you're close to a staggered (or grounded) enemy. Thanks to that, the knife has been relegated to the role of box cutter. The manual save typewriters and the item box had been replaced by a checkpoint system and end-chapter shop respectively. Overall, it's almost the same as RE4, with fine-tuned mechanics to support the faster-paced, action-oriented gameplay.

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.

    This installment is more focus on action which is great in my opinion.
    Some horror element are here but not that scary as previous games had.
    Great to play with friend in co-op.

    Замечательная игра. Много интересных боссов, хороший сюжет, много разных оружии, хороший геймлэй.
    Графика для 2009 года очень хорошая. С тенями хорошо поработали, с текстурами всё плохо.
    Интересные локации. С управлением плохо, но можно привыкнуть. Зомби. Их сложно назвать зомби, так как их мозг хорошо работает, и делают действие как люди.    Замечательная игра. Много интересных боссов, хороший сюжет, много разных оружии, хороший геймлэй.

    Отличный экшен но не более. Серия все больше отходит от свои корней, успех четвертой части видимо повлиял на создание пятой в таком же ракурсе. Тут отличная графика, звук и первый нормальный кооператив! Но на одном названии не уедешь, игра получила посредственные оценки от поклонников серии и жанра. Моя оценка 8/10 и то из-за кооператива, но игра не выделяется на фоне серии игр.Отличный экшен но не более.

    I remembered seeing this game in 2009 as a kid and was very impressed by the graphics. Then 11 years have passed and just only starting my campaign, thinking the graphics would somehow disappoint me. But turns out I was wrong, The appeal was still there like when I first saw it and it was fantastic.

    The story wasn't that exceptional and more like just a branch of the world of Resident Evil. There are also some turns of event that you can easily see far ahead from the start. Gameplay-wise, Combats & Controls wasn't that far from RE4. Sadly, manual savings were missing, which eliminate the purpose of backtracking: making the game very linear - level to level.

    I've only played this alone, so my experience with a companion is either hit or miss depending on the levels. This is a big improvement from Ashley to a partner who can actually help in combat. Item management is a bit different, And from my experience of it - It was between hard & annoying especially when you're overwhelmed by enemies. They also amp up the button sequence which I don't know what to feel about.

    Altogether, RE5 tried their best to tweak and improve some mechanics from RE4. However, this entry just lacks two things that make my whole experience bland: 1st - A whole cast of characters that wasn't even memorable. 2nd - Absence of horror elements. RE5 is a decent game of its own, It just doesn't have a soul of an RE game.    … Expand

    Some of the best action games to play coop, very different from the classic ps1 trilogy, if you are looking for classic puzzle and horror from the beginning of the series, this is not the ideal game. But it is still a great game with an exceptional villain, in my opinion it is worth checking out.

    It good for what it did, but it failed at horror aspect. It's still fun zombie shooter, but overall it's worse than RE4 in every way possible. Bosses were uninspired and boring, game was too short. But it had nice graphics for 2009 game, specially on PC.

    Is Resident Evil 5 a good game in 2021? Depends on what you were expecting. Horror? Maybe a little, but it's mostly an action game with great co-op and an arcade-y feel to it.

    Another great game of the franchise.

    Pros.: - Further development of the cooperative gameplay idea. Previously, Leon was leading and Ashley was more like a burden. Here Sheva is a badass, helpful, with true marksmanship skills. It is pleasure to have an AI partner like her. However, players can play together which is also a step further. - Wesker. Finally, we can meet him, listen to    Another great game of the franchise.

    - Wesker. Finally, we can meet him, listen to him and kick his ass.
    - Smooth gameplay. There is no feeling of an overextended game story. The gamer feels the pace.
    - Balance. It is a bit better than in RE4 because you SHOULD count bullets and use melee. In RE4 it was simpler. You could have tons of ammo. Here, you should manage the weapons you give to the partner from the very beginning.
    - Money is the issue. Not like before when you can upgrade everything.
    - Further development of the story.
    - Library. Have good background information for new players.
    - Cut scenes. JILL! She is awesome (still think the original Jill design is better).

    Cons.:
    - Cannot upgrade the size of the inventory. But it is not a serious con. It makes the game more challenging.

    So far, no more cons. Even the cut scene interactions are fine. Just an amazing game!    … Expand

    I started the series with this game. I liked it very much. I did not understand why it was not liked. I think it is a nice game even than Resident Evil 4. Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are my favorite characters in the series

    Excelente, cuota máxima de acción ya por superar el límite y salirse del survival horror cosa que la empresa jamas deberia haber hecho (esa parte es crítica). A pesar de que es muy criticado por ese punto en particular, es más parecido al RE4 de lo que parece, solo hay que dejar el fanatismo de lado para poder verlo. Excelentes juegos ambos tanto el 4 como este RE5.

    RE5 would be better defined as "action" than "survival horror". You play the role of armed-and-dangerous action heroes who fight zombies and mutant freaks head-on, which is certainly gruesome, but not particularly scary. Fortunately, despite abandoning its horror heritage, RE5 is a fun game to play (especially with a bro) with excellent graphics, structure, and presentation.

    grafico do jogo é agradavel, ao menos não achei feio.
    a trilha sonora consegue deixar o ambiente uiui as vezes.
    os controles são diferente, portanto sempre que eu ficava sem joga por certo tempo eu me esquecia como andar, mas não é algo dificil de lembra.
    porém sem duvida o jogo fica mil vezes melhor com um amigo.

    It is a good game with good graphics, a nice story, with a good villain. It is not a masterpiece, but it is far from the heavy criticism it receives in my opinion.

    What bothered me the most in the game was this tiny inventory that limited too much what could be done. And if the idea was to make up for it with the partner, it went down the drain, because it's terrible to exchange items with him if you're not playing in co-op.
    The DLCs bring a little more history, but nothing that an afternoon ends it all.

    The game in coop is really fun. Only those quick time events can get annoying like why someone thought its good idea to put A and D for quick time events and sometimes F and V (obviously on console its better but on pc its horrible). The camera control is also pretty bad, but overall i really enjoyed the game with my friend.

    Overall, if you can put up with DRM and GFWL headaches, and don't mind risking losing your save games and progress - or at least having them tethered and more complicated than they need to be - Resident Evil 5 for the PC is probably the version to get.

    It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode.
