Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

Resident Evil 5 - First FULL GAME REVIEW ------ Introduction ------ This is a review of the new resident evil game for XBOX 360. It doesnt contain any plotline or ending spoilers so dont fear! The game was released March 13th 2009 but i just got my copy this afternoon and have been playing it non-stop! Its addictive gameplay at its very best! The game focuses on the role of two characters in an effort to get rid of a virus that is spreading across ...
...The best way to play Resident Evil 5 is with a friend over XBOX Live because the AI in solo mode just plain SUCKS. Your so-called partner Sheva is always running off to do nothing or just stands right in the way of fire. She keeps ammo and first-aid packs to herself and is generally a pain! ( i here an update is due soon to fix these bugs) Sheva's ability to attack or cover is somewhat muddled. The quality of the AI is so bad that it's sometimes ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

_Summary_ The arrival of Resident Evil 5 was eagerly anticipated on Xbox 360. Personally I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading through various bad reviews that had been written based on the demo version, but I preordered it anyway. So, yet again we play as Chris Redfield (who seems to have undergone an extreme makeover) and this time we have been sent to Africa on an investigative mission to find out about the virus that is now spreading across ...
...a new addition to the Resident Evil games, I mean there was Ashley in Resident Evil 4 but we were supposed to protect her, Sheva is a little different. Many reviews have said she is annoying, however she actually isn’t that bad if you are playing on normal mode. On numerous occasions she has revived me and helped me kill larger groups of enemies…and hand her a rifle and boy does she use it well! However if you play on Veteran mode, yes she is pretty ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

Resident evil 5 is the latest game in the series and one that finally ties in all the loose ends from the predecessors. If however your resident evil knowlegde only comes form the hollywood blockbuster (like me) rest assured you will still enjoy its plot and storyy telling narrative The graphics are by far one of the best too date and cinematics always seem to suprise you. The music score is good in some places but its the sound effects that really ...
...low growl from the corner of the screen. Gameplay and control takes a while getting used to but once this is mastered it flows smoothly. The game also has endless customization wether its weapons/ costumes and a number of unlockables. Although I have completed the game months ago I still enjoy buddying up with a mate and going back to back against an army of undead. Want to blast away with unlimited ammo and superior firepower or take the survivor ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

...but they have unfortunately failed. Resident Evil 5 on the other hand as gone above and beyond all expectation that i had for it. It masterfully blends action and horror to the point of pure genius The movement is smooth and the game just looks beautiful. The games best feature is the co-op play, Capcom has tried this once before with the Resident Evil Outbreak series but they failed. I personally played and beat the entire game with a friend online ...
...The only real downside to Resident Evil 5 is the length of the game, we had it finished in about eight hours, the game was a blast to play but it felt as if Capcom rushed everything in it a bit to much. Over all Resident Evil 5 is a very good game and its worth the price, if you have not picked your copy up already you should. ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

...missed the start of the Resident Evil franchise, i was "much too young" for the gore and violence of the games. So when my Dad recently offered to buy Resident Evil 5 so we could play it through together i jumped at the opportunity. We could only play at the nigh,t as I have a younger sister, and the dark only added to the atmosphere. After having played through the first few chapters together, both my father and I came to the same conclusion, that ...
...as, like all the other Resident Evil games, it is impossible to move at the same time as aiming. Many people who are fans of the series will claim that this only "adds to the tension" and i would agree with them, but it does seem to fall onto the side of unbelievability, as these are "trained" operatives, who just happen to not be able to move, and shoot? Apart from that tiny flaw we played through thee whole game together on Normal difficulty and ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

...will start by saying that Resident Evil 5 is a fantastic addition to the Resident Evil Series. It really brings the story together about where Chris went to and what he did. It also includes other characters, such as Albert Wesker. It is set in an unknown African area which is lead by somebody or something. Graphically, this game is fantastic. It is much smoother and better looking that its predecessor, Resident Evil 4. The facial expressions of ...
...are generally the same as Resident Evil 4, except with some obvious differences, such as door's opening and closing and some noises from the "zombies". The voice acting is good, and solid. Definitely up to par with Resident Evil 4. The music of the game adds to the African effect of the game and gives it a slightly creepy feel. The gameplay itself is virtually identical to Resident Evil 4. The style of play, for example the running and shooting ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

...zombies home. I played Resident Evil 4 and i must say that i wasn't impressed with it very much. One of the main cause was the graphics and other was not so engaging storyline. I was just hoping to get it finished. But here, the storyline is great, we will be playing as Chris Redfield to cruise out in Africa and stop the bioterrorism. The scene starts with a little introduction of village and how little bioworms took over the villager's body and ...
...The graphics are just stunning, the sweat, the lights, the rust of iron objects, the feel of breeze and coldness of village are done with great effort and it really shows the game at its best. RE 5 manages the creepy and scary environment in a nice manner like it should and with proper use of sound effects on perfect places and order, the environment around feels just great to play. The gameplay is great too, and even the game is not out yet. The ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

I MUST ADMIT I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME AFTER PLAYING ALL OF THE OTHERS. GOOD POINTS; GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING, VERY REPLAYABLE, GREAT COOP FEATURE WHICH LETS PEOPLE IN UR GAME AT CHECKPOINT, PLENTY OF SAVES AND CHECKPOINTS, PLENTY OF GORE . BAD POINTS; TOO EASY, HAVE TO STAND WHILE SHOOTING CANT RUN AND THEN GET CHASED BY ZOMBIES, NOT ENOUGH AMMO IN LEVELS AND YOU CANT BUY ANY EXTRA, GETS A LITTLE BIT REPETATIVE. GOOD NOT OUTSTANDING ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

Having played the resident evil 5 demo i was unsure if i should get it or not, but one of my freinds said he was going to get it so i thought i should get it for the co-op and im glad i did. The game looks amazing even on an SD TV and sounds great too, even though i had not played any of the other resident evil 5 games i managed to pick up what was happening straight away. The controls can be hard to get the hang of straight away (especially if you ...
...the controls become easy to use. The game isnt very difficult but boss battles can be a challenging especially near the end and the impossible difficulty will be extremely hard without infinite ammo. I personally played the game about 4 time while completing it on all difficultys and leveling up every gun. there is a versus multiplayer but it costs 400 msp extra so i will not talk about it. if you enjoy action games or co-op games this is a must ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

A series of Capcom's most successful, whose sales increased from 27.3 million copies, win a new chapter. "Resident Evil 5" will be the first for the new generation of consoles. The saga began in 1996 and popularized a style called survival horror, with disgusting creatures, blood and many danger. Then, "Resident Evil 4" deep changes, giving, in part, the plot of zombies and an unscrupulous corporation, the Umbrella, and injecting more action. Now, ...
...with the high definition of new-generation consoles. Apparently, the character reminds the team of police Chris Stars, an elite force of which is the protagonist of the first episode. The producer Jun Takeuchi, who worked as an animator on "Resident Evil 4," says that the team that works in this new version there are officials who acted in the first game in 1996. The history of the game promises to elucidate some mysteries of the "Resident Evil" ...

Review of Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360)

My first impressions of the demo were outstanding!! The game is like no other zombie game apart from its predecessors. The graphics are excellent the satisfaction of nailing a headshot and watching the zombies head explode and the rest of the body drops to the knees on its way to the floor, amazing! This game does an awesome job of simulating being attacked by loads of zombies. You cant stack your ammunition and go the whole game without having to ...
...ammunition is available when you kill a zombie and you must rush to collect it before the other zombies eat you alive. The same applys to herbs which give you health. This game is going to be a great co-op game and will surely pick up all kinds of awards in 2009. The game will be out Mid MARCH. But in the meantime go on xbox live and try out the demo version which can be played online with your friend or just classic split screen. ...
