Resident Evil 5 plays it safe and a little too close to RE4's established formula and slightly dated play mechanics, but Capcom's assured handling of atmosphere, style and action makes it an experience that's just too good to miss...

There are few pairings sweeter in life than video games and zombies. The two go together like chocolate and peanut butter, or bikinis and Jessica Alba [or Speedos and Daniel Craig. — Gender Equity Dept.] Even when they clearly don’t belong, they can’t help but be awesome (for putrefied proof, look no further than the Nazi zombie mode in Call of Duty: World at War). We don’t know what it is about those shuffling pus-bags, but we can’t get enough of em. We were therefore giddier than schoolgirls...

The latest Resident Evil is a great addition to the series and will provide fans with plenty of action and zombie-killing madness. A few flaws prevent it from achieving epic greatness, but its still well worth your money...
One of the best looking games out there. Great pacing, tons of excitement and great action. Co-op ads a new layer of strategy and tension and is clearly the way the game is meant to be played. Some very cool looking boss fights. Quick time events are most...
Plenty of dated design mechanics. Not being able to move and aim at the same time feels too artificial. For a Resident Evil game, its not very scary. Co-op AI isnt ideal for reserving ammo and makes some boss fights more frustrating than they should be. I...

While the demo might have put you off Resident Evil 5 a little as you reacquainted yourself to the controls, the finished game really picks up after that section and turns into one of the most tense Resident Evils yet. With enough twists and turns in t...

It’s really easy to crap on RE5 and critique all its mistakes. The friendly AI sucks, the game rejects its horror reputation in favor of pretending it’s a shooter, and you never get that B-Movie feel the other games were so notable for. Gameplay is ve...
