    The remaster of "Resident Evil 5" is an improvement over the original through increased frame rate, and enhanced graphics that only add to the experience.

    Resident Evil 5 was the second in a trilogy of cheesy Resident Evil games that were filled with shallow action and awful storytelling, and this, in my opinion, is the worst of the three. It is everything bad about Resident Evil 4, but with none of the charm that made Resident Evil 4 bearable. It's not bad in a way that makes it charming (like its predecessor), it's just plain bad and is aResident Evil 5 was the second in a trilogy of cheesy Resident Evil games that were filled with shallow action and awful storytelling, and this, in my opinion, is the worst of the three. It is everything bad about Resident Evil 4, but with none of the charm that made Resident Evil 4 bearable. It's not bad in a way that makes it charming (like its predecessor), it's just plain bad and is a chore to play. There is only one thing that can slightly redeem it, and that is if you have a friend to play it with.

    The story is dull and uninspiring, the villains are boringly cartoonish, and there is next to no atmosphere. the setting and core concept could have been a great starting point for an immersive survival-horror game, unfortunately Capcom had abandoned this idea, and wouldn't return to it again until the masterpiece that is Resident Evil 7. It is also very hard to feel immersed and tense when the loneliness of the prior games is gone. Co-op can be fun, but it was at the expense of the loneliness that made the earlier (and more recent) games feel so eerie.

    The gameplay is a little fun though, since it's the same as Resident Evil 4, but it just didn't feel as smooth or as enjoyable to play. The graphics, however, look very good on Xbox One. Perhaps this game will one day get a single-player re-imagining. It is said that the original ideas for this game were very focused on horror, suspense and atmosphere, but the team were pressured into making a co-op action game. Only time will tell if they revisit this chapter, and go with their original ideas, and make it a genuine survival horror masterpiece.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    This Xbox port includes all DLC including No Mercy, previously exclusive to the PC edition. Graphically, the 1080p presentation. The game itself is a lot of fun with a partner. It may not be as lengthy as its predecessor, but the replay factor is high. While RE 5 might be a little dated, action fans should have a blast with it. I would rate this with a 7.8 out of 10.

    My cousin and I had a lot of fun playing this game back in the day and just recently my friend and I. Game still holds up and is one of my fav co-op experiences in gaming. Lots of replay value and quite the adventure.

    This is game is fun! The story is above average and the controls are superior to Resident Evil 4 (although RE4 has a better story hands down).

This game could really use a crosshair with how bright the sky is in some levels (yeah I know the pc port has one, but it’s not great). One more thing this game could use is a better knife. Yes there’s a stun rod later in the game, but it feels like you’re stabbing the enemies with a butter knife, if you don’t have it. Other than those things, a fairly good adaptation to the classic Resident Evil series.… Expand

    This is not a horror game like it’s predecessors, nor does it have an engaging story. What this game does have is a excellent coop experience and satisfying arcade like gameplay. By no means is this game bad, but if you think you’ll be getting a horror game then you’re mistaken.

    Decent in single-player but thrilling in co-op, this is a fine upgrade of a good Resi outing. [Sept 2016, p.89]

    While the game still is pretty fantastic, it just does not hold my attention the way it originally did. That’s not saying the game is bad, not in the least. I just played it a ton seven years ago and the remastered version just served me as a reminder of how much fun I had playing the game. Even if it is now outdated.

    A good remaster by Capcom, with enjoyable graphics and new modes and contents. If you never played the game or want to relive Chris and Sheva's adventures (including all DLCs), it won't disappoint you.
