Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 .

Resident Evil 5 continued the formula that got Resident Evil 4 high praise but they added the partner aspect in for the majority of the game unlike Resident Evil 4 which lasted for shorter sequences. More action then in 4 and more strange things like motorcycles chasing you which really separates itself from RE 1-3 but expands on what was going on in RE4. The story was satisfying and bringing back Chris Redfield from RE1 was a welcome thing.

This RE game, when it came out, was somewhat disappointing. However, upon replaying this remaster, my opinion has changed drastically. While not the best in the series, this is where the series becomes a mindlessly fun action/horror game. The graphics look slightly better, but not a huge improvement - I would say this version is still definitely the one to get. Great for all fans of RE and horror games.

I like that they have done HD remakes. Thats why I got this game again and played it all the way through. It made sense to make this into a HD remake.

When this game initially came out, it changed the way Resident Evil approached multiplayer. Definitely one of the best Co-Op games from this generation where you would go through hours of grueling challenges and puzzles. Not much has changed from the original version with the exception that all DLC and maps come in this package at an awesome price to this day is a steal.

The game runs great in HD on the PS4. It runs around 50-59 fps and seems incredibly smooth. This edition includes all of the DLC of the Gold edition and comes at a budget price. I already own the Gold edition on PS3 and double dipped to play through on the PS4. The story line is great and well worth the price of admission especially if you haven't played it before.

RE5 on the PS4 feels like a natural fit for the console, even if the graphics haven't actually been improved. It is sharper, cleaner, and better looking all-around, but it doesn't appear anything has been changed. The game plays at a steady 60 FPS, and still looks good, so if you're looking for some RE4-lite coop action, this is still a great choice for the lower price point.

Probably the best version of RE5 out there. It has everything you could want and more. All the DLC plus new graphical effects and shaders that are not present in the original or PC releases. However, the framerate does suffer quite frequently, especially during the QTE cutscenes and any time there are lots of dynamic things on screen. Expect to hit 45-50 fps regularly.

Between the full co-op campaign, the Mercenaries, and the extra DLC co-op content as well, this is the BEST action-oriented RE game you can get for the co-op, with Revelations 2 being a close second place finisher. If you're going in solo, RE4 still reigns supreme, but don't overlook 5 if you have a friend to play couch or online co-op alongside.

This game takes me back to a time when horror games were fun to play and not just trying to startle you with abrupt loud music. There was a real story behind the game as well. When this game was on PS3 I was ranked number one in the world on multiplayer for a long time. I don't have that kind of time anymore but it's fun to play it again.

This is one of my absolute favorite co-op games, I used to play the original many, many times. I'm happy this got a remaster! I'd say buy it if you haven't picked it up yet, it's a pretty great game especially with a friend! Maybe not as scary as 4 or as convoluted as 6 was, but it's somewhere in the middle.

Enjoyed this game alot. Only complaint is the computer AI for the companion. Other than that thia was a good game

This has always been one of my families favorite games, just updated for ps4 version. Great graphics

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.

My son plays this games twenty four/ seven. He said the graphics were phenomenal and I agree!

Can’t wait for the other remakes if they are half as good as this one they will be excellent.

This is a great Resident Evil game! I really enjoyed it! The game is very interesting and enjoyable to play! The story is great! Always loved Resident Evil! Resident Evil is one of my favorite video game franchises! Definitely recommend this game to Resident Evil fans!

After Resident Evil 4 the series started to take a more action-game turn. Resident Evil 5 was the first game to approach this role. It's a good game but just an okay Resident Evil game in my opinion due to this. It is co-op which made it fun but also made it less survival horror.

Amazing action game and a LOT of fun to play with a friend!! Is it scary? That's debatable (I say it isn't). Is it a good action shooter? Absolutely! And the $20 (or less) price tag makes this game an absolute steal!! Same with RE6 and 4! Support Capcom!!!!
