Guys, this is so sad … i waited for this game for so long and now that i reached chapter 4 i understand that there is nothing to hope for. i thought that maybe all the cool puzzel stuff will come … sometime… maybe later ?! that maybe i will get the fear factor … but all in for nothing. Capcom crated a bad controlled 3ed person COD4 style shooter and to make is even worse .. no zombies! the best horror survival game is gone. FUCK YOU CAPCOM FUCK YOU ALL!!!! may all RE fans abandon you for going with what most of the brainless mainstram “gay-mers” play. (move fast shoot whatever moves) RE – R.I.P

WHOLE FUCKING GAME?!
RE is supposed to be a solitary experience, if I wanted a brainless co-op shooter I would have bought Gears Of War.
Fuck you Capcom.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything that has been said above. I have sworn by the RE series since ’96 and to see one of my most favourite game franchises being utterly decimated in this way just makes me feel so angry. Especially after waiting 5 fucking years for this installment.
God I hate Sheva, why Capcom? Why?
RE4 was a work of art, if there was any aspect to that game that I didn’t like it was when you had to escort and look out for Ashley, she was mildly annoying but I saw it as nothing more than an updated version of having Sherry follow you around in RE2, so I could forgive it, it wasn’t frequent anyway.
You can imagine my horror and dismay when I started up RE5 for the first time only to discover that not only was Sheva just as much a main character as Chris, but that I was going to be stuck with the bitch for THE WHOLE FUCKING GAME?!

Oh dear, i massive disapponitment indeed. I could forgive Sheva and the rate she eats ammo, i could forgive the new control system that allows ‘side-stepping’. The resident evil 4 control remained the same as it had been for all the earlier titles, turn on the spot and run forward,although often accused of being clumbsy,it was an obvious design element to heighten tension. The new 2 stick controls leave the game feeling more like a FPS. But, as i said- i forgive that. What truly dissappointed me was at no single point in 3 complete play throughs did i ever feel that creeping dread of what lay in wait, whether in the arklay mansion or the back streets of racoon city, and certainly not the dusty farmyards somewhere in europe. It’s not just RE5 takes place virtually always in brightly lit areas; using darkness to heighten tension has always been a reliable staple of the RE series. But even where RE4 used well lit areas it maintained its atmosphere of dread. RE has lost it’s element of survival horror, ammo and herbs/health are plentiful, even enough to amply supply the ever trigger happy Sheva. Not once did i spend a few fraught minutes limping around with a handful of bullets left praying to find a green herb. This was largely due to the fact that as soon as i stubbed my toe, Sheva was on hand to ram a herb down my throat! bless her, she looks after you well that’s for sure. But having your own personal doctor on hand , whilst probably very useful given the task in hand, does again ruin any tension. Nothing lept out and made me jump the way though damn dogs back in the mansion did. Again, eagele eye Sheva has invariably already spotted the offending target and uloaded a full clip of 9mm’s into it by the time you taken aim, she’s a damn good shot too! But, as much as i like her and her really rather lovely face, by the second chapter i felt more like i was playing an action buddy movie. I fully expected Sgt. Murtagh to make an appearance at some point and call someone a ‘son of a bitch’.
But hey ho, you know, it’s a damn good action game And played in co-op good solid shooty fun. But just dont expect RE4, or any kind of ‘survival horror’. If by some curious chance you are new to the RE series then grab a copy of RE4, it is as pretty much all reviews say and have ever said a stunning game. Then if you really have to give 5 a spin. I just hope capcom can get back on track for the inevitable Resident Evil 6.
