One of the greatest games ever made and still scaring people to this very day

I have always love this franchise, particularly RE 4 and 5.

I got this game for under $15 dollars (love Best Buy Sales and Gamer's Club). I have beaten this game numerous times on the PC, and my PS3. However i love this game and decided to pick it up for my PS4. This game is GREAT! Granted, the remaster isn't anything too special, i will be creating this review MOSTLY from the mindset of a new player experience. Pros: - Story : This game is HEAVILY focused on the older characters from the Franchise, and ties up loose-ends with Wesker. The story is VERY well done, and despite a few hiccups and cliche's (the game's plot is very similar to RE4), the game is clearly top-notch and the variety and voice acting is superb! Gameplay: I know many people knocked the game for its "Action-Adventure" gameplay, and the move away from Survival Horror. Yes, that is true it plays more like an Action game, but that isn't a bad thing. The game does this VERY well, and TBH, the gameplay isn't that far off from RE4 EITHER (which is considered by many to be amongst the most successful RE titles). It is very smooth to play, and very fun. The only gripe i have is the game is meant for co-op, so the Friendly AI is not so Friendly, and rather unintelligent. Also the fact you cannot shoot while moving is a little less to be desired GRANTED it moves away from Survival Horror. But it isn't anything major. Graphics: This game was ORIGINALLY released in early 2009! That is ALMOST a full decade ago, and these graphics are on par with late PS3, early PS4 generation! The Remaster gives a near 60 FPS boost, and a few fixes to things like anti-aliasing....but nothing massive (most won't notice) But the increased FPS makes the game more enjoyable. - Replayability: This game gives us the BEST Mercenaries mode currently out there. RE4 dabbled with this, but now with 2 player Mercenaries, I can say i spent MOST of my time playing this. MY cousin comes over often and we aim to get HIGH scoring SS Rank on ALL stages, with ALL Characters. There is something so satisfying about this mode. Cons: - Difficulty: The only main gripe I have is the difficulty. On lower difficulties the game is pitifully easy. On higher difficulties you do get a challenge, but not for the right reasons. Poorly built AI will get you killed (or they die, hence you fail) and the increase to difficulty is primarily to the enemy POWER. Their health doesn't really get an increase, the amount of enemies isn't changed, NOR their tactics. I do felt the devs were a little lazy here, and would be my only negative Summary: Overall this game is a MUST buy! It is only 20 bucks, and unless you have a laundry list of other games to play, or have played this to ad nauseam, then it is worth it. I love the RE franchise despite of where it has gone, and think Capcom did a great job on this game. Just KNOW you are not getting Survival Horror here, you are getting Action Adventure.

If you like coop game with a friend with zombies. This is the best resident evil game for you

Resident Evil 5 seems to get a lot of hate but I personally believe that this is a good game. The main points of contention that I see for it is that the AI for your partner Sheva isn't that good. Which is completely true, she'll waste ammo and get herself killed if you're not careful. However I still feel that the gameplay far outweighs the negatives of that. If you have someone to play this game with I think that RE5 can be one of the most enjoyable co-op games around. If you've played this title back on the 360 or PS3 I would say this is a decent upgrade. The framerate and resolution are the only real changes here, but it's definitely an improvement.

Resident Evil 5 is a great survival horror game that excels in delivering intense action segments. RE 5 borrows the pattern of RE 4 in which the player is thrown into situations where waves of enemies are coming at the player while figuring out puzzles and protecting your partner. While RE 5 does not really deliver any real scares like past RE titles, it does excel in providing an arsenal of great weapons, good storyline, and great action. The game does have a few puzzles and some grand boss fights. Some of the bosses are not only huge but present an interesting challenge. The game features an upgrade system where you can collect jewels and other forms of currency to purchase weapon upgrades , armor, ammunition, and weapons. This is very useful and plays a part in the gameplay. The graphics still hold up well and the remaster merely just cleans up the overall look. All the dlc is included with no extra cost! Great game to pick up if you are a fan of action games.

This is an upscaled port of Resident 5. originally released in 2009 for xbox 360, ps3 and pc. It looked and played great and had substantial dlc. Its much more action based than the previous Resident evils, so dont expect too many scares. Pros: 1080p resolution, 60 frames per second, includes all of the DLC and great co op (split screen or online). Cons: produces black borders for split screen making it harder to see (like resident evil 6). Overall its a very good product for the value, even better with gamer's club unlocked. Side mode Mercenaries alone is worth it.

Good Resident Evil game not as good as the 4th title. But just as fun incredible co op experience with real buddy or family members. Ai is a little hit and miss. Pretty decent story great action really well defined controls. Overall a fantastic experience for fans of resident evil and action survival horror games. The best version of resident evil 5 released so far.Fully recommend for fantastic value for on of the greatest action survival shooters of all time.

Despite the forced co-op ( which will not be a problem until the final boss fight by the way) the game plays well, better than 4 actually, with improved controls and features. The bright setting detracts from a typical RE game though, and some things are too over-the-top, even for this series. Otherwise though, it's every bit as good as 4 and this version features so much additional content you'd be considered foolish to not partake.

Buy it! I love this RE game and highly recommend it to anyone who loves: a great horror game, great story driven game, a fun coop game, a great gameplay experience overall. The voice acting is good, graphics are excellent, and gameplay if phenomenal. There’s a lot of content in the game for several weeks worth of entertainment. However, you’ll want more than one play through because it’s that good.

This game is what all co-op games should strive to be. It's got balanced gameplay, expansive story content, a fun weapon upgrade system, and fantastic visuals, all with co-op play from start to finish!

If you never played the PS3 version or even if you did, this game is still worth the purchase. Amazon 1080p graphics as well as 60fps this game will have you hooked. The co op is excellent weather it is split screen or online it was designed for 2 players all the time even though solo works well too.

This version includes all of the DLC from the PS3/X360 and it has a better framerate and resolution. Online co-op is still available which is a huge plus.

The game came in 5 days. Awesome game. One of my favorites.

It's a little hard to get used to the controls but after messing around with it for a few hours. Gameplay is solid and 60/FPS makes a huge difference.

If you like passing games with a brother or friend then this game is for you. It’s about zombies and two brave soldiers trying to save the world from a mad man who is trying to turn everything his own way. Play it to find out.

This game by itself is actually pretty fun! Loads of boss battles that are challenging and fun, and the story and gameplay are really great as well. Though if you're looking for a game more grounded in survival-horror, you won't find much of it here. This is more of an action, third person shooter game sort of like Gears of War. But if you enjoy those types of games, then you'll love this. Otherwise, I still say give this one a shot! It's still really entertaining nonetheless.

Much like the Resident Evil 6 re-release, this is a very solid transfer onto current-gen consoles. It holds up pretty well graphically, there aren't any performance issues, and overall, it's still a very solid game. However, one thing I'd like to warn potential new players about is the game's "stop-and-shoot" mechanic, meaning that instead of being able to move while you use weapons like in countless other 3rd person action games, you can't move while you aim and shoot.

For non hard core fans. It you are not a hard core resident evil fan, but like or love action and monsters. this is a 5 star game. The best part of this game is the visuals with amazing cut scenes and great action game play. This game released March 9 of 2009 and for me it was the best action game of 2009. For hard core fans. Now for us hard core fans of Resident Evil, it can be a mixed bag. This was the game that show us Capcom intentions of taking Resident Evil out of the survivor horror genre and into the action one. I love horror. So to all the horror loving fans. Especially to the Resident Evil fans that love the series for the horror. To enjoy this game you must let go of you old survivor horror expectations and enjoy this game for what it is. This is one of the best games in the series. Why? because it ties and evolves the story of all the other games. The amount of information in this game about Resident Evil lore is amazing. Another part is the monsters, this game has some of the best monsters in any game in video game history. This is a great deal, you get the full game in hd and all the DLC ($30). This game looks great on my 73in tv. So I hope this helps and you all enjoy this game .

This game is more or less the same style at resident evil 4. RE 4 took a departure from the Tank controls and pre rendered backgrounds from the previous RE games. If you like RE4 then you will love RE 5. RE 6 is the worst in the franchise imo, but RE5 is still a solid title but not as good as RE 4. This verision has all the previous dlc content from the ps3 and xbox 360 vers .
