Resident evil 5

This is a must have game for fans of the series it has all the things that made the series so great. The story is awesome and well told ( the end is okay i guess ), the combat is awesome, and co op is a blast with a friend. The only problems are the game is way to short ( only lasts about 8 hours ) and there's not enough content like weapons and the series changed from a horror game to an action game which is a little bit of a big step if u ask me and the game takes away from the horror because of your partner but u get to play with a friend so it's a fair trade off I highly recommend this game to fans of shooters and fans of the series
