Brief synopsis of Resident Evil 5

The biohazard threat has not ended! Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organisation, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Chris must take on the challenge of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will teach players to fear the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.

Rated - 5 starsDeveloper's Copy

A customer from Wembley , 30/12/2008

If you are wondering how it plays in comparison to Biohazard 4, there is no worry.

The Xbox 360's controller makes aiming a whole lot easier, and the game being set in Africa is an exploration of culture, not racism.

Native speakers, matching senarios, the lot will make you really feel that you are in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Las Plagas is back; it's no longer zombies you go against, you shoot, punch, and take down intelligent 'life-like' barbaric savages, who work together, give each other commands, and find they're way to try and rid you from their schemes.

Sheva, the new character, fights along with Chris Redfield (Clair's brother, from the previous games) as they travel parts of Africa in an all new Resident Evil experience.

Since the addition of the newer character, and the fact that Chris is a much better trained officer (STARS) than Leon (RE4), cooperative modes -- Online of Local -- is an adventure in team-work, and combat skill.

Who knows what the news is, with the classic Biohazard characters: Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker.

Rated - 2 starsErm.. Not So good in my opinion.

CharlesWBrown from West Yorlshire , 10/12/2009

When it comes to games I like to be drawn in quickly and be amazed right from the start.

RE5 looked good.. some of the best visuals I've seen but when a game has controls as bad as this I can't play it.

As a single player is also way too hard and boring.. (your partner does NOTHING) so make sure you rent two copies of this so you can give the other to your friend....
