As a Resident Evil (RE) fanatic, I find it hard not to enjoy the franchise's latest installment of the kick-ass zombie bashing game. I finished seven RE's, this one being the sixth. ( I finished Resident Evil Gun Survivor before this)
You will be playing the game as Chris Redfield and yes he was the main guy in RE1. He's back and this time, he's not going by himself as you will play the whole game with your partner Sheva Alomar. You will be able to play her character after finishing the game.
As early as RE2, Capcom already flirted with the idea of having two main characters in the game with Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. They tried it again in RE4 with Ashley Graham having some playing time along with Leon. In RE5 you'll kill zombies side by side with your female partner throughout the game, making you feel a little more cocky and less scared. Sheva can be an A.I. or you can play it together with someone online.
Nothing much changed in the gameplay of RE5 compared to RE4, implementing the same over-the-shoulder camera viewpoint which is nothing short of an incredible experience. (RE4 was a great leap to the RE franchise, it won several awards including game of the year)
Action, action, action, suspense, action, suspense, action, action.
Recent Resident Evil games have become more of an action game than a survival horror as it was known from RE 1 to 3. It doesn't matter, the game will still keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. You can never really relax with the atmosphere that the game brings, I mean who can really chill with zombies in every freakin' corner?
Again as a fan, I can accept the story line. It's chilling and thrilling. You'll also be able to meet a key character of RE in the latter part of the game. What I'm confused about is how Albert Wesker seems to be immortal in the first encounter of the game then turned out to be a horribly vulnerable easy-target at the finale.
The ending was just not satisfying enough, it wasn't able to deliver. But that doesn't mean it screws all up. RE5 is still one of the best games out there and probably a classic one for the diehards.
