ZTGD Review: Resident Evil 5

Carnage of ZTGD writes: Classic horror series Resident Evil can only be reinvented so many times and no, this is not a reinvention of the series like Resident Evil 4 was, but it is still an awesome game that every fan of the series should play. Some people may be put off by the controls, but anyone who sticks with it should find them very well made and functional. The main complaint most people have with the game is that you can't move and shoot, but, in all reality, you don't need to in most situations. Resident Evil works really well, and most action fans should have a blast playing through it.

Pros
+ Cheesy fun story
+ Beautiful graphics
+ Tons of unlockables
+ Great co-op play

Cons
- Some AI problems
- Controls can turn off some people
- Inventory system is a tad dated

This game deserves every shred of 10.

The game is also addicting.

LeonSKennedy4Life6276d ago

This game is just plain...incredible!

It really blows your mind every few minutes. I'm glad Capcom can pump out quality games this consistently.

I'm excited for DMC5 now. BRING IT ON!

ChampIDC6276d ago

I wouldn't say it's a 10 personally, but I can't deny that co-op is a heck of a good time.

JoySticksFTW6276d ago

This game got a bad rap, but I understand the die-hards thinking...

It's really not spooky, just intense

Sheva's great. Just put her in cover mode and she'll save your tail more than a few times. She'll seldom waste ammo in cover mode too.

Co-op with a friend is amazing!

P.S. Low on cash in RE5? Chapter 3-1 is your friend ;)

ThanatosDMC6275d ago (Edited 6275d ago )

It could've been better. I only played through it once with my bro then some mercenary mode. Then i havent picked it up since. Been playing Killzone 2 when have time to actually sit down and play some games before i have to memorize another book.

Am i the only one complaining that the game was too short? Co-op was fun till it lasted. Co-op is always a plus if it's done correctly.

The game has AI problems, questionable controls, the inventory systems not that great, an it still gets a 10? I know that a 10 doesn't mean perfect but still I don't think I agree with that. Oh well, whatever.

Panthers6276d ago

The inventory system stays true to classic RE and it is a very minor problem. Your AI partner is dumb, but just play Co-Op. The only control issue I see is not being able to move while aiming. That is ALL.

Co-Op automatically erases every problem this game has. It is so freakin fun playing co-op

Snatcher6276d ago

+ Plenty of variety.
+ Awesome co-op.
+ Awesome boss fights.
+ Great cutscenes.
+ Nice graphics.
+ Entertaining story.
+ Many unlockables.
+ Addicting.

10/10

khellendros16276d ago

I'm not disputing it's greatness. I would just give it a 9 or a little higher, no big deal. I still love it.

Panthers6276d ago

Co-Op was so amazing with this game. My problem with RE5 is the way the game is played now. It is so linear like a FPS. I miss the days when you would explore areas with lots of locked doors and whatnot.

Not only that but with RE5 you are no longer the victim it seems. You are chasing someone. In all the others you got stuck somewhere and you were trying to escape. This one is different. You are not trying to survive anymore. You are trying to chase someone.

San anto6276d ago

nope not worth 10/10 at all insane statement after the review summary.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker131d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92131d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr131d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992130d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani130d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730131d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave130d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde130d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88130d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb130d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh130d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
