    After a long wait from one of the best games ever made Resident evil 4, Resident evil 5 is finally hear and is it the great zombie blood thirsty game that fans love what we expect to be game of the year or is it the failure that we don't want to see happen to one of best franchises of all time next to Final Fantasy. The story takes off as chris redfield driving on his way to see his new partner and to embark on a historic mission after losing his most recent partner. As Chris Redfield is introduced to his new partner, Sheva Alimar, they search around the town and find a mysterious merchant talking and warning them about people acting odd and advise them to rake weapons with them just incase. Once they get geared up they find someone or something shoving some type of object down a human's throat and that's where the story picks up, is a hunt for the mystery behind the transformation from a human to a zombie. The gameplay is as addicting as Resident evil 4, it has the same conept but there is much more weapons, different enviorment, a variety of zombies, and customizations. The whole hold a button to run can get some geting use to but that's easy to get use to. The A.I could have some adjustments to it by making them a little smarter in organizing their inventory better and to combine certain items and ammo to make a much better and upgraded option of stuff to use. The visuals are near perfection and they should be the bst ever because it is realistic and absolutely gorgeous. The voices and blood animations are great choices of actors and the music is also used at the right time and to see every breath taking action sequence and every rocket explosion really makes you feel lik you made the right video game choice. Overall this is a great addition to the franchise and it does not disappoint.

Yet whenever such a game comes out, the inevitable question always surfaces: How can a sequel possibly live up to the standards set before it? The short answer is that it can't- but it also doesn't need to. Resident Evil 5 is more or less content to bring us more of the fantastic gunplay that defined Resident Evil 4, and as a result is another thrilling ac...

      Even with its obvious shortcomings, RE5 is easy to recommend. 0

      In the earliest portion of 2005, Capcom dropped a bomb with the release of Resident Evil 4, breathing new life into a franchise mired in tradition and antiquated mechanics.   While impressing critics, fans and naysayers alike, the game also did something much more important by redefining the third-person shooter. To even begin to hope that Resident Evil 5 – the latest installment in the long-running blockbuster franchise – could even begin to live up to the hype surrounding its release is simpl...
