Its Resident Evil 5. But why it scored so low for me? I bought the RE5 bundle Elite with the RE5 game,only to get it Home and have it freeze and not load. After 3 tries I tried other games to make sure it wasnt my new 360 and everything ... If the PS3 is your only option, that's fine its a fantastic game (check out my review for the 360 version).

Judge it in its own right, not compared to the earlier Resident Evil games July 26, 2010
M_M
There have been a fair few reviews on here which compare the game unfavourably to some of the earlier Resident Evil games, which is fair enough - it doesn't have the suspense or depth of plot of Resi 4 in my opinion, but that doesn't make Resi 5 a bad game in its own right! I found the game good fun and engaging.
You get to run around some graphically great levels, using a variety of weapons (from pistols to shotguns, rifles to tasers, grenades to rocket launchers) that you can upgrade (oh, the fun to be had when you reach the zenith of the unlimited ammo upgrades). The enemies are more intelligent than the usual zombies you'd expect, which adds to the interest of this game, and some of the bosses are pretty scary / challenging. There's also the re-appearance of a few characters from Resident Evils of yester-year.
Resi 5 has moved away from the more realistic backpack space management for items you can carry around (Resi 4 differentiated between the sizes of items e.g. a large gun takes up more slots in your bag than a grenade); now you have 9 spaces to fill - fill them with what you like, regardless of size. Personally, I find this easier to use (less thinking required), but it may bother some.
The graphics are good; the cut scenes are put together well. Character wise, the animation is fluid and you can unlock different costumes for Chris and Sheva, if you're interested in that kind of thing (Chris does look like he's been put on a diet of high protein foods and steroids since his last outing, though). The characters are more emotive / animated, and the voice acting... well voice acting was never the strong point of Resident Evil anyway.
Both my other half and I are avid gamers. Short of buying two consoles and two copies of a game, there are very few games which we can actually play through the main story co-operatively, rather than the fairly limited 'versus' or battle modes games developers provide as a half-hearted acknowledgement that online isn't the only way people want to game together. So big, big bonus points to Resident Evil 5 for providing an offline, local co-op option for the story mode.
All in all, a good looking, fun 3rd person shooter zombie fest and the additional modes provide a nice 'side' to the game.

Great game. Although not as tense as others in the series.
Fun to play with friends, if not a little frustrating to have to rely on them to help you through the levels.
Dead Good for Shooting but the Puzzles are a rotting corpse June 3, 2010

I loved the original Resident Evil games on the PS1, they had the atmosphere and they were gripping with their gameplay and the story lines. Even though the cut-scene acting was pants and the fact that you couldn't skip them was a pain. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was by far the best, the difficulty level was set so perfectly that even though it was tough it was not so tough that it was a chore to play. Then things went a lttle downhill, the FPS on rails effort with the light gun was nothing less than rubbish then Code Veronica on the Dreamcast was too difficult, I then skipped Resident Evil 4 since I didn't go for the PS2.
So years later I have a PS3 and when I heard that Resident Evil 5 was coming out I couldn't wait, that atmospheric horror could only have got better. The trailers all over the web showed a cool storyline and some great graphics but it was all a big shroud for what is basically a shooting game.
Don't get me wrong though, there are some puzzles within, just waiting to be figured out. But they are so simple its laughable. In one of the later stages of the game you need to collect symbols to place into a hole in the wall which then lets you progress through to the next stage. There is nothing to work out, just get your timing right and pick up the piece, head back to the hole in the wall and go and get the next piece - simple(s).
And thats it, great story, great graphics and sound but run around and kill or be killed and don't worry about thinking. So long as you conserve your ammo and pick your battles wisely, sell all of the gems you pick up you'll get to the end with no problems.
 Useless game - controlls are unplayable May 28, 2010

The game looks fantastic but with that kind of control system it is actually unplayable and the worst I have ever played.
 Brilliant Game! One of the best I've played!.... April 19, 2010
Ms. C. A. Heaton (Leeds, UK)
Firstly I thought this game was excellent!! I have played it right through to the platinum trophie TWICE... the Lost In Nightmares bonus mission was great fun and shadowed previous Resident Evils, the versus mode is great fun, alot of fast paced action on a choice of great maps. The game itself is great, it takes about 4 or 5 playthroughs to earn the platinum trophy but this is one game where the platinum is realisticly obtainable. The graphics are good and I really enjoyed it.
