Summary
Game Description
Resident Evil 5 from Capcom is the latest entry in the popular shuvival-horror franchise. In RE5, Chris Redfield heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Chris is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence, and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilizing a new co-op mode, players assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In RE5 players fear the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.

Entering the world of survival horror .. for the fifth time!
Just after my graduation from college my dad took me to the mall to buy me
a Playstation 3 for a graduation gift.
I was fighting in my mind what game i should get first RE5 or MGS4? hmm.. can't decide on my own because both games seems so great.
In the end i picked RE5 thinking that id get MGS4 some other time and you know what? I never regretted it! i got my Platinum Trophy in 2 weeks.
The first minutes in the game immediately got me hooked! mostly because of the mind blowing visuals and the awesome gameplay.
It was pretty cool that they had "Chris Redfield" back to play as one of the lead roles (although I'd prefer Leon Kennedy, well that's just me) and adding a new member to the RE family "Sheva Alomar", both of them looking good with amazing graphics.
The action is pretty intense! from the jaw dropping physical attacks to blowing up some random oil tanks killing a whole horde. The controls seems awkward at first (I dunno if its just me because I got the Asian PS3 model) but once you get the hang of it you can fly by with ease.
I would also like to point out the boss battles even the cutscenes. i don't mind wasting countless hours watching every cutscene because they are just so damn good!. The boss battles here reminds you how a boss battle should feel and look like, although boss battles become more easier as you unlock some of the powerful guns, well that only disappoints me about this game its one of those games that as you progress the game gets easier.
And finally the game has a fantastic story line, RE5 explains how the Virus Outbreak phenomenon happened as you progress through the game, you can also unlock the history of resident evil on your achieves.
Buy this game, trust me its worth it!

Just Awsome
This is one of those new action resident evil games, although they do take the horror element away it's still loads of fun.
