    Great action-oriented RE game alongside 6. Don't listen to toxic Re fans, play it yourself to find out whether you like it or not.

    Although Resident Evil 5 does not look like a Resident Evil game, It is very good TPS shooting game. It's very fun to play co-op.

    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.

    Amazing game from RE series. As Chris is my favourite character along with Leon, I enjoyed the story, weapons, graphics and fighting style - finishers are amazing.

    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.

    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.
    Coop is in the main campaign is cool and makes it TOO easy, but in the other modes I didn't see much fun.
    In a promotion I think it's well worth it, because it delivers good hours of fun!    … Expand

    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.

    Anyway, if you want a really FUN, somewhat short, addicting CO-OP game then I can't think of any better game other than Mario games of course. ;)    … Expand

    (não sei faze analise)
    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Resident Evil 5 took a big step forward for the entire series. The game went even further from horror to shooter, if 4 parts of it were elbowed by horror, then here they are no longer present. Unfortunately the game did not lose a lot of problem, personally for me the main thing - it is no opportunity to move and shoot at the same time.

The story itself turned out to be short and slightly skewed relative to the previous ones (played in 4 and 2 Remake). As for gameplay, it is not bad, especially for 2009, excellent cooperative-mode, one can say that one of the best for his time. The place of action of the game is Africa, and I think it had a negative impact on the schedule and design of the levels. Overall a good part of the series if you overcome yourself and do not leave the game in the first 2 hours.… Expand

    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.

    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.
