Customers are saying

Customers value the updated graphics, reasonable price, and engaging co-op mode of Resident Evil 5. Many enjoyed the story and the inclusion of all DLC, enhancing the overall content. While some found the controls unconventional, the action-packed gameplay was frequently praised. The game's shift towards action, however, was noted by some as a departure from the horror elements of previous Resident Evil titles.

    This game was Highly anticipated when it first launched, and everything was great about the game. The story, the characters, the gameplay, and even the add-ons that came out for RE5 were worth buying. But now with the game ported to both the PS4 and XBOX ONE with updated graphics it's like playing a new game all over again. The fact that it's packaged with all the DLC and at a cheap price point makes it hard to pass up on buying and replaying this classic. Which is why I ended up buying RE4 as well for the ONE.

    Just as fun as it was on previous systems. Fully remastered, still plays smooth, and includes every single piece of the DLC. Definitely a bargain at the $20 retail price and a fun title to revisit in the collection.

    This version of Resident Evil 5 features a lot of content, and of course the full original game. The graphics are great but playing with a CPU controlled opponent can be challenging. Be prepared to save them, or have them fail to save you. Gotta love Mercenaries mode however. That is what I've spent the most time with. It's still a good package for the price. Enjoy!

    Graphics on this version have been updated and the game is still as fun as always to play. I had this on the PS3 back when it was originally released, but I didn't own the dlc. Decided to pick this up simply to enjoy another play through and to play the dlc. If you're a game rewards member, then this game is def worth a pick up at only $15.99!!!

    Resident evil 5 Review

    This was a great action video game. A nice follow up to resident evil 4 where you had to spend most of the game protecting Ashley. In this game you have Sheeva who helps you take on some of the threats in this game. This wasn't as innovative as 4, but I would place this over resident evil 6 any day of the week

    Hands down one of the best Resident Evil games in the franchise and strongly prefer this one over 4 as it is just a phenomenal follow up. Nothing new to expect from the franchise, but as previously mentioned a phenomenal follow up to the 4th entry and leagues above and beyond the tripe that was 6. You can't beat the price especially considering it comes fully loaded, providing you play through the game, with all the previously charged for downloadable content. If you're looking for another romp through the game I would recommend just playing it on your last gen console. However, if you can't play it on last gen hardware or this is your first time through you surely won't be disappointed!

    Resident Evil evolved from a great jump scare horror game to a action game with horror elements. It is fun but it feels off. Still worth playing through again.

    Clunky controls. Still have to stop and shoot. 5 games into the series and they haven't managed to improve this mechanic. Good story though.

    Resident evil 5, while more action oriented than 1-4, is still a great game imo. The co op was a fun addition as well. Looks great on the Xbox one. And has all the DLC as well.

    This is a fantastic remaster that updates the game to 60 FPS/1080P, includes every DLC released, and gives a lot extras (from figurines to notes about the characters).

    My wife and I loved playing it split-screen co-op on the Xbox 360 and wanted to beat it again on the Xbox One. All the DLC is included. Great game and great value!
