Resident Evil 5 (2009 Video Game)
9/10
RE4+steroids=RE5
16 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Ten years after the mansion incident Chris Redfield is a member of the BSAA and travels to Africa to team up with Sheva Alomar who together are trying to stop terrorists from using bioweapons.

GOOD- Fun enjoyable game, plenty of action. Interesting boss battles. New enemies that are guaranteed to make you turn around and run (reapers) The surprise return of an old enemy (Licker B)

BAD- Five years later and it feels like there isn't much of a change from RE4. Aside from interesting, some of the bosses felt like they would never die. And the fall of a great character-Albert Wesker (Why did they have to make him the final boss!)

In closing, RE5 is pretty much RE4 on steroids. The enemies are very similar, some of the sub-bosses are pretty much reused or had a make over (chainsaw and Gatling gun enemies). Some of the areas weren't that interesting to me. Sheva's AI is occasionally questionable. For instance, she'll have the weapon, but hardly pick up the ammo for it after I've broke open the crate. Yes its fun, yes its enjoyable, but i can say that Im starting to miss the old classic RE games
