<Outline> Resident Evil 5 is in fact the seventh game in the series where you take control of Chris Redfield, a special agent, who is sent to a fictional African state to apprehend a terrorist. However, the situation soon gets out of hand with you fighting an array of biologically altered enemies. You control the game (either with the mouse and keyboard or using a game pad) from the perspective of the third person. I have personally always found it quite difficult to follow the story and the many weaving arcs that it casts along the Resident Evil series. But from an objective point of view I can say that in this game it is perfectly paced with an emphasis ...  Read the complete review

The fifth instalment in the Resident Evil franchise differs considerably from its predecessors in a number of ways. First of all, whilst the game is still played in third-person, the game no longer requres you to move through a series of static pre-rendered screens, but rather adopts the standard moving viewpoint as used in games like Tomb Raider.

Capcom have again produced another great resident evil. To any resident evil fan, you should definitely get this game. However if you have never played resident evil before, I suggest you look at the game play before you buy it, as it is incredibly different to any other third person shooter out there. In the game you play as Chris Redfield, a BSAA agent fighting against the use of biological weapons. You inventory in game is small and very realistic.

This game has changed the resident evil series a bit there are not really any zombies the enimies are more human in this game than in any of the previous editions. You have a partner with you throughout the game and can be controlled via a second palyer which is good when you don't want the sluggish computer AI around. however the in game bad guys will now run at you until a couple feet away which just doesn't immerse you in the idea of the game. as it's just not realist to have people start slowly shuffling towards you when they get near you. This game has hit the nail on the head in terms of graphics the in game scenery is brilliant and rendered so well it ...  Read the complete review
