One of the best games to come to the PC to date. Amazing story, gameplay, graphics and all around experience. Must have for all fans of the series and in general 3rd person shooters. Five stars!!

"Great Game"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Excellent game, looks fantastic on the PC especially in Direct X 10 mode. Stayed up all night playing this game in co-op mode with a buddy!

Mouse and Keyboard plays great which I was worried about because RE4 was so badly ported it was unplayable in my opinion unless you had a game pad. Anyway to sum up RE5 is a brilliant game, get it!

"excellent port"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Being an passionate pc gamer , I resigned to the conclusion that this was going to be a horrible port , and why couldn't the developers think about a simultaneous release for both platforms. From my experience anyway , that console games ported to the pc seem more of an after thought with short sighted money making ideas in mind , and really have no concept on what makes a sucessful pc game!!!!!

But Im pleased to announce this game , looks very sweet , especially running on dx 10 . The rundown shanty towns and water effects are just beautiful , and at times I stop and admire the surrroundings. Even with the settings on low and running dx9 ,this games will still look stunning. I am halfway though it and enjoying every minute , zombies bring it on. You have a partner this time , she is beautiful and kicks arse ( what more could a man want )

You have some very well produced cut scenes , battle afew bosses , hords of zombies and a very dark story about mutant genes that make people want to eat you : ) Its an R18 for a reason , but its not a horror romp either. Apart from your drop dead beautiful assistant , no one wants you alive , so just shoot everything that moves. That comes in all shapes and sizes , to dogs , flying creatures , chainsaw welding bosses to motorbike riding zombies , intent on throwing a chain around your ankle and dragging you behind their bikes !!!!! The reviews have been very good , and I can see why.

The only downside , I found the controls abit awkward and the pistol sounds like you just snapped a twig!!!!! But have now got used to how the game plays , and the other weapon sounds are pretty cool and pack a decent punch to. Zombie killing nevers get old , and until L4D2 arrives , this will suit me.

"Got bored after level 3"
3 stars"

Being a big fan of the horror genre and puzzle solve games, this game was a disapointment and has gone several leagues away from what the origional made it such a success. From a series that has given us some great games this one has fallen short on the basics. The story may be fresh with new types of zombies but the game is a bore and the control are so terrible that I was suprised they probably got the same movements team from Alone in the Dark. Firstly, the over the shoulder works well in Dead Space, not here. Secondly if I am slicling at a zombie only three feet away I expect to hit him. Thirdly the game is designed for the my god, turn the lights of let me crank the soround sound and scare the bejesus out of me. I got more scared from Wolfenstein 3D than any of the standard jump out and walk the guided path this game had to offer. The area of this game I did like was the new take on zombies, the coop mode even though your AI buddy is an idiot and there were no tactical instructions you could give to her. If you played Res Evil 1 + 2 you wont be happy with this. Try Dead Space as it may give you more goosebumbs than Res Evil 5.
