ive played this game years ago when i borrowed it from a friend. felt like playing it again, and this disc works works fine
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Game is a good quality but not everything is compatible with an Xbox one so they said Xbox 360 games can be played on Xbox one but cannot play so I have a resident evil game for nothing now I have to go and buy a 360 to play the damn game
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
For those that loved Resident Evil 4, then you are sure to find the controls quite similar. RE 5 uses the same over-the-shoulder aiming system as its predecessor. Some of the differences between the two games is the management of weapons/items. No longer are you using an attache case, but rather there is a set number of items/weapons that you and your partner can hold. Yes, that is right you have a partner in this game. Sheeva, your ally, is actually a rather capable A.I.; however, the higher the difficulty and you will notice your frustrations with her start to build. There are a a wide variety of weapons which includes handguns, shotguns, machine guns, and snipers all of which can be upgraded and different variations of each which was also found in RE 4. The enemies are quite similar to those in RE 4 meaning yes no zombies once again, but they are a bit faster. In terms of scare factor there is virtually none, and one could say RE 5 is more of a normal third-person shooter. I would say there is a high replay value meaning that there is a high chance you may find yourself playing the game over because once you beat it any upgrades that you have made are kept when you start a new game. All in all I give the game an 8.8/10. It kept me entertained that is for sure, and if your a RE fan it is def worth picking up, and those willing to play a fun third shooter will not be disaapointed either. Great game overall.Read full review
For years we have enjoyed the combination of action and puzzle elements the Resident Evil series has brough us. Resident Evil 5 takes action over puzzle as a spiritual sucessor to Resident Evil 4. However gone is the merchant and the constant "Help" Ashley needed. The story is that bioterrorism involving the T-virus and Las Plagas is running rampant across the world so Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar are sent in to make sure that nothing screws up, but knowing Resident Evil something goes wrong. So the team goes all over Africa to stop any further infection and to stop the bioterrorists. So how does it stack up? Graphics: Graphics are great, you can see the individual threads on Chris' shirt and the pupils in the Majini's eyes. No complaints here. There are a few graphical glitches that occur, but nothing overly noticable. 5/5 Sound/Audio: There is a complaint here in that I have fired some of the weapons available(AK-74. HKMP5, etc..) and the weapons sound nothing like they do in real life, nitpicking here but still. There is also a really annoying "squish" sound whenever you hit an enemy with a bullet. I wouldn't normally complain, but it happens so often that it gets annoying. Other than that the soundtrack is awesome and voices are extremely well done. 4.5/5 Gameplay Mechanics: They brought a partner into the mix this time around and it is actually not that bad. It takes away from the game in that you aren't completing it entirely off of your own skill, but it doesn' take away from the game entirely. Veterans of Resident Evil 4 will love this game since it preserved all of the elements of the former and they will beat it first time no problem, almost to the point of it being disapointing, however the later dificulty settings allow this game to actually be challenging. The buttons are responsive and are no real issue. 4.5/5 Story: Here they messed up big time. You can see that Sherry was in the original script with a random white girl attacking you that looks like Sherry 10 years after Raccoon City incident, and I think that one would have been better than what we got. What we got was a bunch of plot holes like Tricell which in RE:CV was HCF, Oswell Spencer being dead in the first game to being magically alive in the later game, and the "Wesker Children" story which didn't make any sort of sense. Overall the story was a horrid mess and I don't give it any consideration when going into the Resident Evil storyline. Also Jill looks like garbage in this one. 2/5 Other: Special features of this game are nothing special, we get the standard Mercenary mode which I don't get why it is called that since it has really nothing to do with mercenaries(not like in RE:3) The new weapons aren't all that special and the new consumes you can get for your characters are not overly impressive. The special features are nothing special but do add to the game's replayability. Also the game is very replayable and Ifound myself playing it over and over again. 3.5/5 Overall: It will make fans of the series mad the way that it was presented in terms of story, but as a game it is excellent and has no real flaws other than small ones that don't take away from the game at all. Good game, bad story. 4/5Read full review
Graphics: Excellent 9.0/10 Sound: Excellent 9.0/10 Gameplay: Very Good 7.5/10 Replay: Great 8.5/10 Overall: Great 8.5/10 Note to the reader: I have been playing the Resident Evil Series since it’s introduction on the Playstation One. Graphics: Excellent 9.0/10 The graphics are excellent, the cut-scenes and in-game graphics are seamless, and this is as good as Capcom has done for this series. The shadows, lighting effects, and motions are great, and really immerse you into the game. The zombies, the backgrounds, and environments are detailed, rich, and engrossing. Sound: Average – 9.0/10 The thing that Capcom has always nailed in this series is the sound, and this game is no exception. The sounds of the groans, the heightening tension of the music when an attack is coming, and the sounds of the weapons are dead on. The ambiance is set in the different areas by the increasing tones of heightening sense of importance through the use of music in this game. Some may say that the voice work is poor, but it goes right along with the “cheesy” style that this series has always had, and the delivery is spot on for those that have been with the series for some time. Gameplay: Very Good – 7.5/10 Let me start by saying that when playing this game with a friend in the co-op mode, there is nothing better. Having to people that can communicate and work together makes this game perfect. However, that being said, when this game is played in offline mode, it is not the best experience. The computer ally A.I. will shoot you in the back, use herbs unnecessarily, and not help in the most critical times of the game. Replay Value – Great 8.5/10 Once the game is over, you will most likely be wanting more. Luckily, there are many unlockables, difficulty levels, and time runs to keep you busy for some time. To upgrade every weapon alone (without glitching) would take 6-8 playthroughs! The mercenaries mode, further co-op adventures, and just general playing will keep you coming back for more. The score would have been greater if Capcom didn’t already include multiplayer on the disk, and charge $5 to download the unlock patch to play multiplayer. This is a trend I do not wish to se continue. Overall – Great 8.5/10 This is a great game, do not get me wrong, but it is not perfect. This game is a detour off the survival horror that the series has created, and perfected, and has gone down the pure action path. This is not a bad thing, but the controls don’t lend themselves to that type of gameplay. With less suspense, more gripping events because of the sheer amount of enemies, and over the top ammo and drive of the game, it is a mixture of Resident Evil 4, Gears of War, and the Matrix. Where this game does many things right, it is flawed and glitch in just as many areas. If this were any other title, it would not have been as scrutinized as closely as it was in this title. Resident Evil 4 was, and still is, on my top 5 games of all time. This game will not place on that list, but I must recommend it just for the sheer fun, playability, and co-op opportunities that are available. This is a must play.Read full review
