Description

U.S Version, region free.

Utilising the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 unprecedented power, Resident Evil 5 promises to revolutionise the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control. Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series while expanding the world of video game entertainment to new heights; confirming once again Capcom's long standing reputation as a bold innovator within the industry.

The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player’s spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Chris must take on the challenge of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will teach players to fear the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.

Co-producer and series veterans Jun Takeuchi (Lost Planet) and Masachicka Kawata (Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) unleashes an unprecedented level of fear for the next generation in Resident Evil 5, the sequel to one of the highest-rated videogames in history, according to Metacritic.com and Gamerankings.com. Promising to revolutionize the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control, Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series. New technology developed specifically for the game, as well as incredible changes to both the gameplay and world of Resident Evil will make this a must-have game for gamers across the globe.

Features:
  • Chris Redfield, protagonist of the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, returns
  • New environments and a diverse assortment of locations
  • New enemies bring new challenges: speed and intelligence make adversaries as dangerous singly as they are in groups.
  • An arsenal of weapons at the players command to keep the evil at bay, including knives, pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and more.
  • Lighting effects provide a new level of suspense in both harsh light and deepest shadow
  • True high definition gaming on multiple game platforms, using an advanced version of Capcom’s proprietary game engine, MT Framework, which powered the next-gen, million-plus hit titles Devil May Cry 4, Lost Planet and Dead Rising.

Review by Ben on 2nd April, 2009
5 stars "Resident Evil moves up a notch"
Has to be the game of the year, it looks amazing, as already mentioned the difference between cutscene graphics and the actual game is barely noticeable, also features some interactive cutscenes, mainly dodging bosses, which is something I've seen used in Bourne Conspiracy and seems to work well. Instead of just watching a cutscene you've got to have your wits about you to get the combination of buttons right.

I've nearly completed the game and it took me ages, each level is well presented and some of the boss battles feel nearly impossible. Even with this i've still got heaps to unlock including weapons upgrades, files and more. I like that theres plenty of containers around to break to find ammo and other useful tools.

I agree not being able to move and shoot can be hard and i wish the knife could be left in hand when you run out of bullets as its slow to withdraw but I really can't fault this game at all.

Review by Jono on 14th February, 2011
1 stars "Stuck in the 00's"
Ok, so I haven't played it the game all that much. I am sure the story is great once you get into it, and it becomes a little more engaging...

BUT, you have to get up to that part, if it even really exists.

First you have to get past the horrendous controls, which haven't changed since RE3 (at the time they were a breakthrough for RE, but have since dated), you have to get past the fact that there is NO REAL STORY in the first 30 minutes of the game. And if RE5 is like other RE games, that's about 20% of the entire game with no story...

I got this game for cheap and I still paid too much.

Unless you are really a RE fan, I would stay away. I am one to a certain extent because I really admire some of the ground breaking stuff that has come out with the games, but this one is well below their usual par.

Review by Craig on 23rd November, 2009
4 stars "They are in Kaijuju"
Must have for resident evil fans, although it isnt as great as speancer mansion it's still definitely worth a go, plus co-op is completely engaging.

Fighting wesker hasn't been more exciting!
