I've been playing Resident Evil for almost a week now, I'm about half way through the campaign and I'm still unsure what to make of it. I'm in Chapter 4-2, and here the game seems to have turned from something fun, in to a chore. 
 
Also, the AI of Sheva really shows up here. I was turning the mirrors to reflect the sun beams, so that I could progress in to the next room. I was able to finish the final sun beam puzzle and went in to the rooms to collect my prizes! I felt good, until I knifed a vase. Inside the vase, was a snake, and that one snake sent me in to a dying state. I expected Sheva to help me as she was only a few metres away. Unfortunately she seemed to have lost the ability to move, and watched from a small ledge as I slowly became a corpse on the cold tomb floor. *Sigh*
 
I'll write a review sometime soon, once I've figured out what I truely make of the game.

I love Sheva, she never wasted all of her ammo. Ohwai-

" Just wait till you get to the AK equipped majina Marine corp...thats where the fun really starts to fizzle out "

You don't know if you've been having fun after a week..? That will surely be a pretty interesting review to read...

Looking foward to this review in that case. Oh what fun!

The game is decent in single player.  As far as that facet, RE4 has it beat.  But it really shines with another person playing Sheva.

Just go get a million rotten eggs then hit me up with a PM so I can get that damn weapons upgrade achievement.

Welcome to 6 months ago. However, as long as you judge it as a shooter and not as "survival horror" (which is not a genre), I find RE5 to be a pretty good game. It's no RE4 though.

I disliked it immensely. The only real highlights involve Wesker.

I tried to play through on the hardest level (where one hit = death) to get some achievements, and with her AI it was just imposable. I still think it's a good game, but part 4 was sooooo much better. The atmosphere of fighting hooded cultists in a castle was infintantly better than fighting people in a swamp wearing loin cloths.

I loved Resident Evil 5, though it seems I am in the minority. 
 
The easiest way to solve the issue with Sheva's AI is to play co-op.  Me and a friend of mine played the entire game cooperatively at least twice and we loved every second of it.

That game's amazing, that's what you should make out of it. I think I need to play that again, actually...
