    This game looks pretty good for a DX10 game made back in '09. This is a so so console port. The controls are made for a game pad and not key board and mouse. This game wants to be really fun but the controls are really clunky. The windows live sign in was a joke. The saving in this game is a nightmare. This is a $10 game at this point and nothing more.

    It’s a good game and I would recommend adding to your play list. It could be better as it is a bit repetitive, has a few technical problems, but I’m happy with it nonetheless.

On first play however my experience was genuinely a good one and it’s nice to have a partner join you in the game, even just to carry some extra loot… It’s just a shame how the franchise is diminishing in quality and seriously forgetting its horror survival genre defining roots!… Expand

    Admittedly, I had fun with how over-the-top Resident Evil 5 was during my playthrough. But it hides no intention of becoming an action game - a new direction that clashes so detrimentally with its legacy control scheme and clunky horror design.

    Despite having seen polarized opinions on the game, i have found Resident Evil 5 to be suprisingly a pretty good game.

Even if its over 10 years old at this point, it still plays well enough even for a series newcomer like me. Though, RE5 also has some annnoying issues that came along with the experience and hamper it somewhat.

    While visually RE5 definetly shows its age, the art style still holds up and presents a dark, gritty moody looking game with suitable atmosphere for a horror experience, that takes you to different kind of places, from gritty urban areas, to swampy african tribe lands, to a Tomb Raideresque lost city and others. Chris, Sheva and other main characters are really well modeled and animated, and cutscenes are executed nicely aswell, with excellent motion capture and acting that look more than convincing even compared to modern games. But also regarding cutscenes, they trigger my OCD because characters always use the default side arm in them, even when i have bought and equipped different weapons for Chris and Sheva, nitpick for most people, but it annoys me when games ignore details like that. While, normally, im not a person who complains about narrow FOV in games, in RE5 it kind of got to me, whether the FOV in the game is as it is for the game design, horror aspects or a draw back regarding limitations of consoles, that made its way into the PC version, there were times i wish i could've adjuted it just to make it bit wider.

    While im normally not a particular fan of tankish, slow controls in games, in RE5 it kind of felt alright for me. Granted it took getting used to and it wasnt all perfect even when i did, as when fighting large groups of enemies things can go FUBAR real quick, as some types of them are quite the bullet sponges. Im torn on the stop to shoot combat design. On one hand i understand it helps building tension and make yourself grounded in order to not be overly capable. On the other hand, it sort of goes against the game's action focused gameplay design. I feel giving the player minimal movement ability while shooting would've been a good compromise. Otherwise, combat feels reasonably satisfying, with hefty feeling to the guns and their impact on enemies, and with blowing their heads off, which sometimes isnt a good idea as they can turn into more powerful enemies. The biggest problem for me was how inventory management during gameplay is real time, i just dont understand the brains behind this idea, it doesnt help the horror aspect at all, it doesnt add urgency, it adds only frustration when you need to manage your stuff while neck deep into fighting zombies, managing inventory should always put the gameplay on pause. Your AI partner is quite capable in combat and in supporting you, but outside of combat they tend to get in your way as you travel about, stumbling in your path too often. RE5 is also riding way too much on QTE sequences, i dont mind having them time to time during a game, but too much is too much, especially when they require 2 key execution, at times it really pissed me off and some of them really feel cheap as you fail them.

    Story was an enjoyable thrill ride i got to say. However a plot twist regarding a certain character was observable from a mile away, though it didnt hurt story matters really. The main antagonist is really cool and slick, but the very final boss encounter was pretty confusing, as i had no idea what was the correct approach to it, only after dying like...12 times, i had that ''gotcha'' revelation. Speaking of boss fights, they rely too much on the ''shoot the glowing spot'', something of a trend among Capcom's games at the time, judge it as you will. The 2 DLC missions that are included in Gold Edition of RE5 offer 2 - 2,5 hours of extra story content that tie into the base game's narrative and overall are worthwhile additions.

    I was utterly dumbfounded that the game was a target of nonsensical racism allegations from insanely idiotic, disingenuous political activists and their like minded tools masquerading as games journalists who have no idea what the hell they are talking about, nor who have any idea what actual racism looks like. Just because a game is set in Africa and you have to kill infected natives who arent even in control of their own actions, doesnt make the game racist. Besides, RE5 already features plenty of anti-colonialist, anti-corporate themes within its story. Just highlighting that people, who are making these ludicrous claims, dont care about context. Its a shame that for no good reason RE5's reputation has been marred by these moronic, vile people who are into it just for the clout chasing among their regressive ideological echo chambers, and who dont actually care about the complex issues they pretend to care about.

    Resident Evil 5, despite of some issues, overall still is a very good and enjoyable action-horror game even nearly 11 years later, and even if you're a first time player.    … Expand

    Este fue el primer resident evil en irse por las ramas y convertirse en un MATA-MATA. Este juego consta en ir superando niveles y avanzando en la historia matando todo lo que se te cruza en el camino. NO MALINTERPRETEN, es un juego muy decente y muy entretenido, pero supuestamente es "Survival Horror"; y como no cumple en lo más mínimo con eso, le doy un 7.

    Un juego decente a pesar de la mala fama que le ha caído por parte del fan promedio de la saga Resident Eviil.

    Todos sus aspectos son bastante sólidos, pero no brilla en ninguno. Su historia y ambientación me da bastante pereza, creo que no es la más adecuada y había infinitas mejores opciones. Una duración muy adecuada para este tipo de géneros.

    Recomendable.

An extremely dumb doll that collects most of the mines along the way, and releases all available bullets, like water in a toilet bowl(At this point, right out of all the holes climbs the fact that the game is designed for cooperative walk-through, but in order not to lose part of the gamers market, somehow on the snots they glued the "behavior" of the second character). One thing only saved her from the highest quality swearwords from me - she almost never missed. But this is the merit of the dry mathematics of the program, and not of the "well-thought-out intelligence of the partner."
    The gameplay, although it became more lively, and not painfully jelly is too arcade now. "The gripping horror of survival" has turned into a "zombie grinder with enemies that jump on your head from all the holes. Despite the presence of a large inventory between levels, the inventory of the characters is extremely-extremely small. And the funniest thing is that bulletproof vest and a vest from close-range attacks are in the same inventory.
    There is a strong bug in the game - the grenade launcher does not work on masked thugs. In general, even shrapnel.
    "Melee attack's instruction" is given only in the third chapter. And that's far enough for such a thing as a control manual... wtf?
    The Japanese are in their repertoire: although the plot is interesting, it is presented in a classic silly-pretentious style, and stuffed with typical clichés of Hollywood action films. Like an overly long fight with the last boss.
    The game has for me only one indisputable plus - bosses. They are unique, and each is interesting in its own way. But the last fight is overly spoiled by the fact that "you need to do something more pretentious for the main enemy than for the rest of the bosses".
    This "action movie" about zombies, which is became very different from the main idea of the whole story about resident evil got very tired for me by the middle, and became very predictable because of these boring clichés.
    However, I still got my portion of pleasure.    … Expand

    It was my first game to Xbox 360 and I played a lot of times. The game is very beautiful for the release date and have a good story (there's some mistakes, but still a good story). The problem is: the horror has gone. You don't feel the fear that you used to feel when played RE4 for the first time, because the game barely doesn't have a night level to be honest. And seriously, enemies using AK-47?

And I understand the bad reviews now. The fact that there was a lot of action in the game did not piss me off that much, leaving the RE formula that we know. It's the ridiculous boss designs that really piss me off. Let's talk about bosses;
    1_) First boss I think "uroboros" : We need to burn it in the oven, right? I put it in the oven and blast its weak points, but the boss just doesn't stop. And when I get out of the oven and try to press the button, it's already out of the oven. I struggled a lot. Turns out, it was necessary to roll out of the oven just as the door was closing. How would I know that the first time? I found it difficult.
    2_) U-8 Spider: It's a boss I'd probably struggle with for hours if I didn't remember it the first time I played it. You have to take granade in your hand and you have to throw it into the mouth of the boss while you have it. Of course, for this you need to drop the boss first. How many players can easily understand that a bomb is going to be thrown into the boss's mouth?
    3_) (5-2) Uroboros: We've come to the worst boss. You see what is written on the internet, most people think this boss is a "bug". Maybe it was at the time. Killing the boss is pure torture. If you don't know what to do at first, all your bullets run out and a lot of your time is wasted. That's what happened to me. I spent about 1 hour. I blast the Boss' weak points. They're out again. I burn it again nothing happens. I was finally able to kill it randomly. I do not know how? Too bad.
    4_) Wesker: The first phase is very bad. You have to turn off the lights. If you don't know at first, the rocket fired by wesker kills you in one hit. I tried to kill Wesker with a rocket. It hit at first and I blew it up. It eluded all of the next at least 10 rockets. I do not know how. However, he couldn't see me, I was in the dark. Anyway, I was finally able to kill it with the sniper. A very frustrating long boss fight. I could remember it because I played it for the first time in the 2nd phase again. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Should I run from the boss or shoot? Well, we're back on the hill. We are fighting head-to-head. Again, all my bullets are gone. Another very long boss fight. Annoying.
    As for the good sides of the game; Overall the story is good. Weapons are diverse. Controls are better than game 4. That's all I have to say. I hope Capcom doesn't make games like games 5 and 6. Let them make remakes. Games 7 and 8 are very good. Let them continue like this.    … Expand

I was waiting for this game to play it on PC but after playing it 3 years after its release all I can say is that it's very dissapointing. Let's start with Games For Windows Live, one of the most retarded programs ever invented, considering that adding a game to it it's hard, using the chat is even worst and inviting a person to play the game is even worst. Maybe I should stop buying games that use GFWL, or wait 50 years till Microsoft can improve it (it will never happen thou). The game is interesting, but after one of game time, all I can say about it that the control scheme is the worst possible scheme ever used by a game (all console ports use the same retarded control scheme anyway, nothing new here). The controls are hard to use, and changing the controls well it's even worst than using them as they are. After I managed to chance some keys, I focused on playing to see what this game has to offer. The story is interesting but after chapter 3 it becomes irrelevant, as you still can'd find what the viruses do or even bother to look for them. All the gameplay is only about killing zombies, there's no reseach, investigation or even the simplest idea of looking for why this is happening in Africa. Among the most interesting moments is the 1st boss and the chapter with ruins. To be honest all I liked in the game is the girl companion, the 1st boss and the level with ruins. Except that I didn't like anything else in the game, the story is boring, all you do is kill zombies and bosses and gather ammo and weapons. But what saved the game from my point of view was the level with the ruins where I thought that I was Indiana Jones looking for the crystal skull. The weapons are very good, there's a lot of them, you start with the weaker versions, improve them then get the stronger ones. The weapons are very good implemented in the game and the upgrades to matter a lot considering you can use a long barrel pistol fully upgraded even on the veteran difficuty setting and it's very effective at close ranged. One major problem is the inventory that's very small (9 slots, I figured the PC version could get at least 12-15 but I was wrong again). Some zombies drop treasures which you can sell so killing most or all the zombies is quite good for the player, looting all the wood boxes is also good, but the small inventory makes it harder to keep many things on your character. You can buy and use two vests, the melee vest and the bulletproof vest. Both take spaces in the inventory so the main concern of the player is to finish the game and unlock at least one weapon with infinite ammo to use it on the two other difficulties settings.

    To put it simple: The Good parts: - the 1st boss and the ruins chapter (awesome in design and atmosphere)
    - the weapons, very good modeled, the upgrade system is interesting and works very good.
    - the female companion has some nice suits, unlock them as as soon as possible. Also she is an interesting character to follow throught the chapters.
    - the graphics are good, even very good but it can't save the gaming experience. It helps but it's not the main concern for me.
    - the infinite ammo option is very good as it saves you inventory space after you unlock a weapon with it. Also it helps the player to play in the harder difficulty settings.

    The BAD parts now:
    - Games For Windows Live... please remove it from any past or future games. It's retarded and useless. Don't use any, we can manage with the game alone, or don't force us to use it. Don't force us to use GFWL or Steam, any game can manage without the both of them. But please don't use GFWL... Please just don't use it.
    - the control scheme... for the point of a PC player... that scheme is retarded and very very hard to use. Also during the timed events... well it's hard ot use so I think most of my character's deaths happened all during the times events, mostly because of the control scheme.
    - the story... it's boring after the 3rd chapter, and considering that I am a BSAA agent in the game... well I don't do anything that even remotely has anything to do with my job at BSAA. I don't look for viruses, I neveer take samples or research or even bother to see what the viruses do. I only kill zombies, nothing more.
    - the inventory has too few slots, 9 slot are very few for a normal PC player. Maybe change that in the future, 12 would be awesome.
    - the gameplay is very repetitive, - the zombies's AI is very retarded (stupid). - there's no fear in the game... nor in the gameplay experience. No fear whatsoever.
    - no DLC also, even if it's not that important. These are my thoughts about the Resident Evil V game, I've finished it yesterday, on all difficuty levels and to be honest I was very dissapointed even thou I still liked some parts of it. I hope you'll enjoy my review.    … Expand

    Goddamn clunky action with a crazy ass story with annoying characters and a flawed AI companion that i just wanna punch to death, pros kinda feels like an actiony resident evil, somebadass enemy AI(giant rapist squid) also the setting is rather interesting yet besides that it is probably the worst res besides Operation Raccoon City and Res 6

    Very good game but gets out of the history of the old resident evil 1,2 and 3. In short it is a great game you got some action but took away the importance of fear, great history but the cooperative failure.

    Death by reloading

    RE5 is a great game spoiled by atrocious controls. I mean the worst ever. These are the main problems: You can’t move while reloading, aiming, or shooting; instead you become rooted to the spot and therefore hopelessly vulnerable to attack. When aiming the sight is often (although, oddly, not always) wrenched away from the point already centred so you have to find    Death by reloading

These are the main problems: You can’t move while reloading, aiming, or shooting; instead you become rooted to the spot and therefore hopelessly vulnerable to attack. When aiming the sight is often (although, oddly, not always) wrenched away from the point already centred so you have to find your target again. And you can’t jump or crouch unless prompted. What the hell is that all about? Also the AI is pretty poor. Sheva gets in the way more often than not. The UI looks like something out of the 90s and is clunky to say the least. And you can’t access the inventory during gameplay (although I understand the reasoning behind this it is frustrating at times). So what is there to like? Well it looks amazing. The graphics are among the best I’ve ever seen, with particularly impressive character models and animations. And, controls aside, the gameplay is enjoyable, with a good selection of environments, some pretty tough bosses, and a range of simple but enjoyable puzzles to solve. Ammo is often scarce so you have to be more thoughtful about your approach to the combat than in many games. Overall it’s a top-flight game marred only but it’s poorly designed controls and interface. Sadly these are so bad I can only give it 3 out of 5, which is a real shame.    … Expand

    Every transition in this game is awful because you have to either wait for Sheva to open doors or its some stupid movie that gives you no sense of continuity, the levels are small and streamlined, the whole thing had the coop as the main focus.
    While Leon had personality, Chris doesnt, they ruined this in RE4 remake too.

I will assure you, I'm not a beginner to FPS's on the PC by any means, yet I had nothing but difficulty with the controls and item interface. Another thing I found it odd is that my tricked out system, which ran the game at 60ish fps on full settings, seemed to produce "lag" when you turn your character from left to right. Then there is the constant lack of supplies (ammo, health etc). Which I guess should have expected this from the last resident evil I purchased. I can't comment the PS3 or 360 version, maybe they work. I find it somewhat funny that the enemies come at you in slow motion because if they attacked any faster you wouldn't be able to aim at them fast enough. I've played a lot of different PC games this year and this one ranks right up there with other terrible games like 'East India Company'. If you are a fan of poorly ported console games or you have played the previous ResEvil games on PC then I'm sure you will have no complaints. If you just want to shoot zombies, go buy Left for Dead. Honestly when I read all the official scores for this game on Metacritic I'm left a little bewildered.… Expand

    It's a nightmare because the controls are catastrophic. Movement: you can not aim or shoot and move in any direction at the same time. You have to right click to get crosshair and hold it, otherwise you can not fire. When you do, you can not move, except mouse rotate. When reloading you can't move. Pull out the machete, and movement is just the same as trying to shoot; you can't move. OKIt's a nightmare because the controls are catastrophic.

OK you may think, 'be quick', but you can't because all the controls are hard work. Try turning round to make up ground, so you may aim and fire again. You'll be fighting and twisting the mouse around. You'll be trying hard with the keyboard to get movement, and you '''will''' be screaming, "Move"! (Sometimes the controls seem to turn you 180' straight back round into your opponent, when fleeing.) Later on when you have weapon upgrades, for a while it feels easier because some kills are easier.

    It looks and feels exactly like the 'Gears of War' engine, but with broken control. (Imagine this mixed up with a slower Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry 2; zombie type creatures, set in Africa.) Ammo has to be collected in the the same way as Gears, after you've wrangled the controls to get to it. After a few hours play, you will have made weapon upgrades and they make a difference, and you start to feel vaguely confident.

    Although I have liked the game at times, because the story is 'riveting', impending I will trade it in. There are for sure rewarding moments. Sometimes a few shots between player and NPC puts baddies down. A newly found weapon will take down previously difficult enemies. There are mounted turret sections. It has many of the makings of a good game. It would be a thrilling gory zombie film, but it's almost diabolical as a game.

    I would recommend other games preferable to RE5. With my Metacritic score of 5/10 it's borderline I'd even suggest giving it a go. If you do however be ready for a difficult start. It's not a learning curve, it's just traumatic control. There are other games I readily like much more. I recently bought Serious Sam 3 and loved it so much I was sad knowing it would have to end. The Metacritic 'users' score was 9.2 for SS3 last time I looked.

    After three hours I was thinking I might not play RE5 any more, and just sell it. I took a step back break, then gave it another go, and at a reasonable pace played most of it. However bugs and faults affected the game, all too numerous to mention. (E.g selling two items in the same transaction but only being paid for one.)

    It's all compounded by checkpoints instead of game saves. After playing most of it I have given up I think, and don't want top play anymore. It's too distressful.    … Expand

When the original Resident Evil was released on the Playstation, it was ranked one of the most frightening games ever made. Skip ahead almost twelve years to the release of Resident Evil 5 and take a look at where the series has gone. Over time, Resident Evil has lost its horror feel and replaced it with an action-adventure element that makes it feel more like Uncharted rather than RE. Let's take a look at the game itself. Gameplay is lame, a watered down RE4 style at best, controls feel too ackward and messy to be playable, and the graphics look like they belong in a game from 2007. However, the biggest problems I had wtih Resident Evil 5 is its atmosphere and how the game is "played." In past Resident Evil titles, everything was creepy and was set at night or in a disturbing setting, but not in 5, oh no. The game is for the most part sunny and ~*alive!*~ It doesn't feel at all like Resident Evil AT ALL. At least 4 kept the distrubing and creepy feel, even if it had a cheesy Hollywood style ending. The worst thing about this game is that the game is far too simple for an RE game and makes no effort even to try to be like the previous titles. There are no zombies, you can barely carry any ammo, there is no merchant or place where you can keep your supplies, and instead of being a "full" game, there are levels instead, which are obviously made for casuals who only want to get achievements or trophies. All in all, the game isn't worth $20 or even $10 for that matter. I'd recommend staying as far away from this one as possible. Only get this if you haven't ever played the Resident Evil series. If you have and haven't yet played anything after Code Veronica, I'd recommend 4 over this hulking pile of piss-poor casuality any day.… Expand

What is that? Capcom, do you really want me to have to backtrack to previous chapters just to farm ammo for the next big boss, or to farm gold for that upgrade because you aren't doing quite enough damage to proceed? That's not survival-horror, that's not even action-adventure... It's like Re5: World of Warcraft Edition. Couple of pros: good graphics, decent action, cool-looking bosses.

    Unlike most people reviewing the game i will be reviewing it as a RESIDENT EVIL game and not purely as a game. Now that this is out of the way lets talk more about the "game".

Resident Evil games have always been about atmosphere, "feeling" and the characters always had a "mortality" even if they were badasses. Not so in RE5. The whole concept is changed with a cliche terrorists types story with the US army and crap like that which noone really cares about. The controls are the same as the old Residents but this time the enemies and creatures of the game are updated to work with another type of control scheme and not the proper normal Resident Evil one that 4 worked so well with. Tedious, set pieces abound, no atmosphere, no "haunting" story like the previous games, there is just nothing to say that this game is a Resident Evil game. If you happen to be a fan of the series do yourself a favor and avoid this piece of crap. If you are new to the series then there are better action games out there than RE5. Simple as this. If RE5 was my first Resident Evil game ever i would rate it a 6 for the badly implemented mechanics. As a RE games however it fails miserably and it falls way short of the one RE game it tries to stand taller from and thats number 4. For a true Resident Evil fan the game ends at number 4.

    This is the first game I've tried in the series and after an hour of REALLY trying, I'm bitterly disappointed with it because it looks like it could be really awesome but the controls are so abysmally horrible. There is no flow and it's as if the main character has been doused in tree sap that solidifies more and more as the game goes on.

    This game seems to be designed for those who don't want to think and don't want any real kind of freedom when playing computer games. Having just played through Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal 2, Resident Evil 5 just felt like a gigantic step backwards and seems to be purely aimed at slack jawed finger twiddling console jockeys.

    I have no idea how this has a score of 86 on Metacritic. IGN gave it 9.3! Madness!

    Don't buy this **** Don't rely on paid reviews. This is not a PC game. The mouse control implementation is extremely poor. Mouse sensitivity changes when you walk and every time the buggy braindead console port fails to catch an exception. And since the porting "engineers" bought their credentials on some webpage, they cannot even understand how to patch it.

I cannot understate just how annoying it is to have to stop, aim, shoot. turn, stop, aim, shoot, turn e.t.c every time you're in the middle of fighting off the vast number of enemies that get hurled at you. There is absolutely no fluidity to the game play and it feels incredibly awkward. Capcom should have learnt by now that there are better ways of creating tension than having an awful, broken control system (see Silent Hill). Its just plain bad game design on their part, and is inexcusable considering they had finally arrived at such a good system in Resi 4. Although the co-op element did turn out to work surprisingly well, I can't help but feel that the series has fallen into a lame action-adventure style, which completely undermines the horror aspect of the earlier games and is obviously aimed at a more casual gamer audience. Although the story line and acting have never been the strong point of this series I can't say I really engaged with the story at all whilst playing. This was mainly due to the disjointedness of the game, which has been inexplicably cut into very short sections. Resident Evil shouldn't ever have stages, it just breaks any of the tension and the game would have been better served by the old save game rooms which acted as a respite, but didn't take you to a pointless menu system with a score for each completed section, I don't want to be graded in the middle of a game, least of all a supposed 'horror' game. I would also find it very difficult to find any part of this game which I was actually scared by, and it quickly evolved into a run, shoot, heal affair which was about as boring as I can imagine a game to be. Do not go near this game if you're a fan of the series, or survival horror, or even action adventure. To be honest, just don't go near it.… Expand
