Resident Evil 5

Capcom has somehow taken the holy grail that is Resident Evil 4, gave it a High def makeover, and changed the entire gameplay up by implementing some of the best co-op action I've seen yet. I cant get enough of the awesome contained on this disk. Highly recommended.

Good to hear. I'll check it out next time I visit a friend with a PS3 since I don't have one anymore.

Update, if you plan on playing the game solo I would advise against a purchase. I just cant get into the game single player. The game was developed with co-op throughout, and the chick is an idiot when not controlled by someone else. Resident Evil 4 remains the pinnacle of the series because of this flaw. Still love this one just needs to be played together.

My cousin and I played this yesterday and we had an amazing time. The hours just flew by. We started out on Veteran mode, but soon learned how much of a mistake that was since we only had pistols . We switched to the normal setting and played it way into the next morning. I think we made it close to the end (just entered chapter 6) but we didn't have the time to finish it. Overall, it was a great experience; although, the item management system is not nearly as good as it was in RE4. The controls also felt a little stiffer than I remember as well (I used to be excellent at fighting on RE4). I didn't get a chance to see the single player mode being played but as far as the co-op mode goes, it's very well recommended.

Oh, why can't the second player buy anything at the store menu interface?

First they said not even the title screen could be done on Wii, now they are saying that it's possible, although not likely Resident Evil 5 could be done on Wii. Honestly, I'm not really interested in this game so if it never makes it that's fine with me. For those that have played the game, does the game being set in the daytime take away from the eeriness? Lier X Agerate felt the controls were stiff and I've also heard they were clunky. Does this hurt the co-op portion at all?

Now I remember Resident Evil 5, but I..........well to tell ya the truth I'm never really good at Resident Evil game because it's too hard for me to keep the story up. My brother Ian is the only one that can be good at Resident Evil games. How hard is this game really? Like Resident Evil 4 sort of or other types of this? Oh well, I will see about this some day.

I can't say anything nice about this game because IMO it took one of my favorite series and shit all over it.

It it true, Streex? Are they actually considering Wii? (Or maybe its upgraded successor? Wiiii?) RE4 was one of my favorite games EVER. (Behind SSBB and Warcraft III.) When I heard they were going to have another like RE4 but with co-op, I was ecstatic. (Co-op as been an obsession of mine since the NES days with things like Contra or Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.) Combining two of my favorite things seemed like a dream come true. Then I saw it wasn't coming for Wii and I cursed the name of Capcom. Wait.... well there goes Monster Hunter Tri! (Kidding.)

Dont hate Capcom, they are one of the best 3rd party developers on the next gen sysatems, definitely the best Japanese publisher.

They have since taken that back. So I'd just say don't hold your breath for RE5 to ever come to Wii.

agreed triz, i love re5. i had a feeling being forced to play with a ai partner was going to suck but they did a pretty good job. sheva does not waist ammo or health herbs and does a fair job keeping out of trouble and killing zombies. im not sure weather i like it as good as i did re4 in its day but still a great game.

If you can't decide if you like RE4 or RE5 better, you my friend are in small company.

really? which did you like better?
also i prefer the term elite company! lol :p

RE4 is definitely a better game. RE5 is good but only when you are actually playing with someone.

Agreed, RE4 is superior. I don't have numbers but I hear it is a decent bit longer and many of the things in RE5 are repeats from RE4. I think the only thing that RE5 does better than RE4 are graphics and co-op (which was very fun). Plus, there is no way that Chris Redfield is cooler than Leon S. Kennedy.

Leon FTW!!!

No way Antilles! Jill can't be beat! If there was a Resident Evil fighter, she'd be my main girl.
