    Although it was awesome playing as Chris Redfield again, this is where the series began to change. Plus, coming off the heels of RE4, it was already going to be hard to live up to expectations. More action added in this game but it was still decent enough. The ending was pure Rambo/Commando which they could have left out.

    Fun game to play in co-op. Mercenaries adds a lot of replay value. I only wish the graphics weren't so dull and gray.

    While the developers' decision to copy elements from Resident Evil 4 make it feel less original (despite better visuals and a new location), you'll have a blast (especially with a buddy) but after waiting four years for a sequel, we expected better.

    It's hardly the dramatic revamp that RE4 was for the series, but it marks the first time that co-op play has been implemented. As a result, the overhaul makes it a good single-player game, but a great multiplayer one. Thanks to its persistent approach to weapon upgrades, it's well-suited to replay. It's a visually splendid game with gorgeous cinematics that evoke the same awe as previous games did in their time.

    You'll get a lot more out of it than you do from typical games with no competitive multiplayer and while played cooperatively it really sings. It's lost a lot of what has made the franchise a pins-and-needles experience, but that sense of dread has been replaced with pure action that's hard to match.
