First of all, Resident Evil 5 is a good length for a single-player action game, which is nice. The plot can seem a little thin if you've not played any of the other RE games. But it seems to slot in nicely to the overall Resident Evil story with...

This is by far my favourite resi game to date, I have played, and completed (with good and bad endings) pretty much every resi title made. The change of gameplay style it 4 and 5 were a shock at first, however it is refreshing for a classic to...

All of you people who didn't like this game have no idea what you're talking about. And it's just annoying when people compare it to number 4. Surely the creators are allowed to add a little difference in gameplay. If they made a replica of number 4...

Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360 review - Pocket-lint

By Chris Pickering (pocket-lint.com)

Horror hits Africa

Same old Resident Evil gameplay, brilliant in co-op

It may be showing its age, but this latest in the Resident Evil series still deserves your time

Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 Review

By Simon Wigham (consoleob.com)

Resident Evil 4 was a shocking overhaul of the series' core mechanics, scrapping almost everything that people didn't like: the controls were less clunky and the voice acting an improvement. It also ditched some things that were never a complaint: for...

I don’t necessarily agree wholly with the direction of the series, like Resident Evil 4, some aspects of Resident Evil 5 are better and some should have been left untouched, whilst the addition of co-op play is successful, it moves the series even...

Whatever you thought of the end results it was hard to argue that the fourth instalment was anything less than a proficient reinvention of the series. Which brings me to Resident Evil 5, a game that sticks closely to its predecessors template.

Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares

By Lark Anderson (gamespot.co.uk)

This atmospheric return to the classic Resident Evil gameplay packs more than a few surprises.

Degree of randomization adds some replay value ; Creepy and intense atmosphere ; Classic cameras and controls are a nice hidden bonus

Only about an hour long

Resident Evil 5: Desperate Escape Review | Xbox 360

By Kristan Reed (eurogamer.net)

Desperate measures.

But while Lost In Nightmares saw a refreshing return to the slow-burn style of panic-stricken survival horror that characterised the series' early days, Desperate Escape sees the gameplay firmly back in bullet-spraying territory as you fight a...

Dark Void

By Anmol Kapoor (ld2.ciol.com)

Most of the actual selection/introduction of concepts and ideas are amazingly brilliant and fresh, but you simply can't say the same about their in-game executions

Fresh aerial combat based mechanics ; Excellent initial premise ; Lots of potential

Crap-tarded story ; Poorly orchestrated ground combat mechanics ; Ultra-generic combat elements

In the end, Dark Void turns out be an out and out disappointment. Most of the actual selection/introduction of concepts and ideas are amazingly brilliant and fresh, but you simply can't say the same about their in-game executions. Stay away, far away.

Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares Review | Xbox 360

By Kristan Reed (eurogamer.net)

Strange as it might be for downloadable content to arrive almost a year after the game's release, few will complain when it's as good as Resident Evil 5's Lost in Nightmares. Available for around four quid on either PSN or Xbox Live, it includes not...

Resident Evil 5

By JK Ferret (gameon.co.uk)

The latest game in the Resident Evil saga follows Chris Redfield as he travels to Africa on a mission to take out some bioweapons terrorists. Meeting up with his mission partner, Sheva Alomar, they both quickly discover that not everything in the town...

Finally a Resident Evil game with co-op mode ; Upgrading weapons to massive powers ; Interesting bonus quirks

Not a survival horror game, with little to no puzzles ; Professional mode is practically impossible in solo play ; Very hard to aim in third person mode, so ammo wasting will be common

Resident Evil: 5

By Guest (dashhacks.com)

Think the Swine Flu is bad? You haven't seen a damn thing until you take a stroll around Kijuju. Load up on amo and dust masks and don't forget to bring a friend. Check out the Dashhacks review of Resident Evil 5 for the XBOX 360.

Huge game, there's more then just the story to play here ; Ton's of unlockable items ; Online co-op gameplay and ; Excellent replay value

Slow, uncomfortable online gaming menus

I mentioned earlier some problems with the online aspect of the game but I didn’t mention what the online component consists of. Well you have two modes. A mode called mercenary and a mode called versus, which can be purchased through XBOX live. The...

You have a time and you can play alone or with a partner. You have to rack up as many points as you can to earn as many experience points as you can, which can be later used to upgrade characters or unlock other items through the bonus features menu.

Resident Evil 5

By Tom Orry (videogamer.com)

Resident Evil 5 for Xbox 360 Review - With a whole heap of content to unlock, including the brilliant Mercenaries mode, a campaign that begs to be replayed and top of the line production values there's very little to be disappointed with.

Looks staggeringly good at times

Doesn't quite have the magic of Resi 4

Resident Evil 5 (Xbox 360, PS3) review

By Andi Hamilton (darkzero.co.uk)

First of all, a little background information. In my entire reviewing tenure I have only ever given top marks out to two games, Super Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil 4, with the latter being one of my personal favourites of all time. I've always been a...

Just don't let the A.I. drive, for God's sake.

So, the fourth game was a breath of fresh air - changing the camera to the now often-copied over the shoulder viewpoint, emphasising the strategic action elements and giving the entire "survival horror" genre a massive boot up the arse that until the...
