Resident Evil 5: 10 Things to Know
12 of 14 found this helpful Here are ten important things you need to know about Resident Evil 5:
1. Graphics - RE5’s graphics are amazing, and they are some of the best you’ll find on a console.
2. Controls - I embraced RE4’s control scheme, but the same scheme today feels a bit outdated. You still cannot walk with your gun or knife ready. The developers say it is more realistic this way, but even in cut scenes Chris walks with his gun pointed forward. And now that I think about it, why can’t I simply walk up and punch or kick someone? Why must I wait for them to be stunned?
3. Sound - A lot of the sounds including the music are very similar to RE4, which is a good thing.
4. Co-op - With RE5, two players can together. Awesome! One problem with co-op is the fact you can’t give weapons to your partner. That doesn’t make any sense at all. Also, watch out when using an AI partner for Sheva. She sometimes wastes ammo, refuses to use her powerful weapons, heals you unnecessarily, and dashes off.
5. Items - All items have been needlessly streamlined. The weapons are less complex, there are no more combinable treasures, and yellow herbs are nowhere to be found. Also, you can buy items anytime between chapters. I liked the merchant in RE4, but he’s gone this time around. So who are you buying items from? Apparently, just a menu system. Also, RE5 redesigned the item management system in order to make it more realistic than RE4. I like how it no longer takes me out of the game, but sometimes it is hard to use. The fast equip feature via the D-pad is greatly appreciated.
6. Horror - RE5’s biggest issue is the fact it continues the series’ trend of removing all aspects of “horror” from the survival horror genre. In fact, I would just call RE5 an action game with elements of adventure. There is rarely any suspense, the action is almost nonstop, and many of the potentially scary settings occur in daylight.
7. Bosses - Simply put, the boss fights in this game are not as original or exciting as RE4’s boss fights. Most are easy, unvaried, and unnoteworthy. Some of the boss fights don’t even feel like fights, but mere struggles instead.
8. Puzzles - Unfortunately, RE5 offers virtually zero puzzles. There’s not even the task of combining treasure. The only thing remotely close to a puzzle is finding the blue BSAA emblems. Shooting them is a cool way to unlock bonus features.
9. Saving - I like being able to save my game at various points, and I like being able to start a brand new game, but these features are gone. RE5 keeps track of all items and money you have so that to play previous chapters, you always bring your latest gear. It almost makes it too easy.
10. Charm - RE5 lacks a lot of the charm found in RE4. Chris is almost emotionless, whereas Leon was witty and classy. The quick time events in RE5 are overdone and predictable, whereas in RE4 they were fun and surprising. The only character with real “character” in RE5 is Irving. It seemed the whole cast of RE4 stood out.
Conclusion
Resident Evil 5 is a short, fun action game, but it lacks a lot of what made its predecessor so great. The only improvements are the graphics and the addition of multiplayer. The rest of the changes negatively impact the overall fun of the game. Still, it is a fun game, and I recommend it for any Resident Evil fan or those who are looking for a good action game.

Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil Zero is a great game to own, and it is currently a GameCube exclusive. This game serves as a prequel to the original Resident Evil, so a lot of story is explained in this game. This is the last Resident Evil game to use the classic gameplay system found in the original Resident Evil, but there's a twist. This time around, you control two characters (Billy and Rebecca) to solve puzzles and explore the levels.
I would recommend this game to anyone interested in knowing the background story of the Resident Evil series. If you liked the Resident Evil remake for the GameCube or even Code Veronica X, then you will like this one. In fact, you might appreciate the "partner zapping" system in which you control two characters. However, if you're only familiar with the gameplay system of Resident Evil 4, you might be frustrated with the clunky movement and the lack of action. This game focuses much more on an immersive environment with a few creepy creatures thrown in.
If you enjoy this game, I would recommend playing Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii. The characters, story, and setting are revisited in a rail shooter format.
