  • anybody else feel bad playing this game due to shooting at people who are just poor as dirt, BLACK!!!! And, they're being killed by a virus! Jesus Christ this is so wrong! Let's shoot some Anglo bankers?

  • Comment removed

  • Resident Evil 4 destroys this game in its length, boss fights, enemies, difficulty, story line, characters and just general epicness. I've completed RE4 11 times and it still feels fresh every time and a challenge, where as this is just boring and you can get infinite weapons so easily where as RE4 you have to save up a million ptas. Try fighting Krauser on professional on RE4 without a rocket launcher. IT'S SO HARD!

  • The mercenaries in this game is still awesome. I first got it years and years ago but it's still fun as hell!

  • No score ?

  • Is wesker hard?

  • "too easy"? Play on professional or veteran bro.

  • True, i believe RE5 is not the same as the rest of the RE series, it really wasnt as scary as the rest and too easy, especially since the feel of the game wasnt at all that eerie feel i felt in the past. The music itself doesnt set the mood of an RE game, and the lack of puzzle solving and suspense just wasnt there. A fun shooting game, but not what i was hoping for. And the fact that zombies or whatever they are now can hold guns truly sums up why this isnt a true RE game...

  • ArmoGuitarGuy16

    Depends on your computers specifications.

  • hate it when IGN don't do a "verdict" section at the end

  • It's funny how some comments claim this game is not scary. I bet if they were in that situation they would be shitting their pants. Lol

  • does it run good on PC if bought on steam?

  • Resident Evil 2, REmake and Resident Evil 4 are by far the best in the series. Fact. Honourable mention for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Code Veronica, chronicles, operation, revelations etc are just utter shit. Have never played 5 but from everything I've read and seen, it doesn't make me want to.

  • @kindahottish Code Veronica? and Revelations! someone doesn't know shit

  • Re4 for the wii is just wayy too fun

  • Re4 is better

  • BUT ITS FUN BUT ITS NOT SCARY BUT ITS FUN BUT ITS NOT SCARY IM A DOUCHEBAG IM A DOUCHEBAG IM A DOUCHEBAG!

  • @Gnenguin Fun fact: It's fun, but not scary.

  • worst resident evil in history

  • @FunnyAsHellWebsite You do get to fight el gigante,after that chase,you see el gigante killing soldiers and you get to kill him.

  • 'You're not gonna get those oh crap moments' *chainsaw to the neck*

  • I'm about to start playing RE4 for ps2, so I can get a feeling for the game. I played RE5 for xbox, but I sucked at it.

  • @91agw RE4 is better IMO

  • re4 was wayyy to hard. jus sayin

  • @jeffmusselman maybe, but i guess it was good because it made you feel so vulnerable

  • @atxagent00b Ohmygod 4 is amazing :) Ive played it twice within a week!

  • @jeffmusselman Obvious troll...... is obvious.

  • @jeffmusselman I thought it was kinda easy but, the first three are really hard

  • God this game was a pile of shit. They didn't even let you fight the El Giantes!!!! That was one of the best parts from RE4 was running around trying to get away from the giants and then when they got a hold of you and started squeezing the life from Leon was great!!! WTF??? Fail RE5. However, RE4's producer is doing 6, so lets all pray they listened to all the complaints.

  • buy this or w8 for 6

  • @chride87 you can easily get both. re6 will be $60 when it comes out but you can usually find re5 used for $15. If your really strapped for cash though just wait for six. it looks very promising

  • @chride87 Buy every game while you wait for 6! Especially 4.

  • whoever wants or needs help or a partner add me Iceman0899

  • I really love this game, I beat it 7 times and then the game got scrached up and some chapters won't play, but RE5 is my favorite one, Sheva is my favorite RE character to date, and I know there's some big crap going on as "poser" fans but whatever its really good and I hope Sheva makes a return to RE soon!

  • who is new to this game and is looking for a partner add my psn ljx95.im new too

  • this game is not scary but it's damn fun in co op

  • My top horror games would be this and dead space 2 (dead space 3 is coming out this year I think and so is RE6)

  • @Michaelg1998 correction this is not a horror game- as these reviewers are advocates of this game and they even admitted its a action game not horror

  • RE5 was ehhhhh the inventory was the worse part of the game. but it didnt scare me at all. RE4 was a million times better

  • @RIPROKU - I don't think that was the point of RE5. It was the closing book for Wesker. And Chris is a badass. That's what makes these games more interesting than the other RE games, because they souly focus on Leon or Chris.

  • This was good, but not great. It was just like 4, but without the scary vibe and uninteresting story. Re4 was scary, claustrophobic, and it made you interested in where u we're going next. They completely discarded scary mansions or any spooky environments with heart pounding results. This was good, but not a game i'll play again. Re4 is repayable awesomeness. Good thing Re6 is coming back from its re4 roots with some good innovations.

  • @Josh04731 I agree. I felt it was a copy of RE 4.

  • @Josh04731 - Dude, I think your limiting yourself to a biased viewpoint of RE5. It's hard to be scared when you have a partner throughout the game. Leon had to drag a helpless teen across a majority of the game. What makes RE5 more unique is the fact they have the original boss in it, Wesker.

  • @xchargerOUx Thats true, re4 kinda went all over the place with the story. But it was the mood and environment of re4 that made it awesome. It was scary, mysterious, etc. Re5 was more of an action than survival horror. It just wasn't scary.

  • good review im buying this game

  • steam, 15 pounds, my head is screaming "BUY", My wallet is crying in the corner shouting "NO". WHAT DO I DO! ; _ ;

  • Sheva is sexy *cough*

  • why on xbox and not PS3!

  • @Tomcollettable The game is the same on both consoles.

  • @Tomcollettable it is on PS3

  • This game is awesome. Played and beat it on 360...but I woudn't play it again.

  • this game is amazing... 

  • Resident Evil 6=20/11/12 :D

  • This review is so much better than the X-Play review. Like the other guy said, go into this game expecting action and not horror and you'll be happy.

  • one thing tht annoys me on ths gme is the awkward camera position.

  • just paly it on pro ;)

  • Even though this game wasn't what everybody expected you have to admit it was a great game that offered up a lot of fun

  • resident evil 6 announced!

  • @ronnon100 for now re revelations is the best in the series

  • @ronnon100 sure is cOLD! in here

  • cant believe this game is 3 years old!

  • lol ownage at 2:07

  • this game is hard af on veteran idk what these dickweeds r talking about^^^^

  • @IIxRastaxII lol they said they played on normal

  • "I always fire directly at the crouch" Greatest review quote ever.

  • @Kibafangover Crotch?

  • @Kibafangover

    Crotch*

  • Gears of War sucks!!!!!!!-:)

  • @DeadlyAssassin94 you suck even more (:

  • @DeadlyAssassin94 nice try fanboy

  • @aperson30

    this is the first one i played do all the others make you stop moving to shoot

  • @bighonkies yes

  • @bighonkies yes its to create tension.

  • Try professional mode, it's easy too!

    

  • @leandrodiaz1198 you cant call people homos for likeing a game you dirty ass piece of shit

  • i cant move if i want to attack this game sux

  • @bighonkies its resident evil, if you didnt like it before you wont like it now.

  • i wanna buy this game but i have a feeling its gonna suck

  • @SoldierCyfix oh its great, if your a resident evil fan you will love the story, if your new, you will like the gameplay, its not scary like the other resident evil games which is kinda a let down, and you cant move while shooting so youll have to get used to that. these people have been making games for over 10 years, they know what their doing.

  • @aperson30 i just visited a local store yesterday to pick up this game since it was only 19 dollars as a greatest hit, but then i found out its only co-op online, no split screen.... zombie multiplayers have got to be co-op offline that the best thing about em otherwise it looks really cool

  • @SoldierCyfix its not exactly zombies, as in "undead flesh eating zombies" that's what re 1, 2, and 3 are about, 4 and 5 are more about like brainwashed people that will kill you on sight, so its more like "mindless zombies".

  • @aperson30 A.K.A original zombies, i agree with you,they are zombies as in slaves, which if historically you look, the flesh eating rotten corpeses were actually old old vampires,zombies where just people risen from the grave hours after their deaths, anywho the game is called BIOHAZARD (things involving radiation,viruses ect) and its creations

  • @SoldierCyfix Bro there is split screen co-op you just have to press start on the other controller when you start the game.

  • I hate this game...

  • This game sucks dick. Any by the way, RE5 CANNOT be called an "Action Game". No action game and I repeat NO ACTION GAME, that involves guns forces me to stop running, aim, and fire, or even swing a knife. This game misses the fucking point as an action game, and fucking forgot where the nearest horror game was at, and ended up in QuickTime 24/7. This game should NOT have a direct sequel, just recreate some other bullshit, not some shit in the fucking morning. The morning is NOT SCARY

  • @UncageRage

    The game wasn't meant to be scary you no-good, raging, butthurt buffoon -- it's just supposed to be tense.

  • I really think that ign should make more if not all of they're reviews with two people. One person doing it sometimes feel like the dude or dudesy got lost on his or her own subjectiviness.

  • thumbs up for freddiew commercial

  • Didn't black people moan about this game because your killing... Well niggers? (no offence)

  • @sw1000xg Well.. No, not really. But anyways, Don't you have to go molest a little kid or something? Taken that you white trash always do that. No offence.

  • @Frogger0neXx I hope your "bitch" in that jail cell gives you a big black present you wont forget! Oh no offence!

  • @sw1000xg your a force

    

  • @sw1000xg Resident evil 4 you also kill all spanish speaking ppl

  • @lordzilu1584 Yeah true but I don't remmber hearing them moan about it being racist? Or killing white people in big cities! Only ever seems to be black people?

  • @Lincegames The day I can move while shooting in a RE game is the day I give up the franchise. (Revelations strafing dosent count and ORC is a spin-off)

  • This may not be a survival horror, but its still more resident evil than the damn movie series will ever be.

  • @Fsk1125 why do people like you always comment twice? do you do it in case if your other comment doesn't get a top comment?

  • @TheAbirdstudio no, don't get me wrong... i just comment it once, but then youtube show up error about my comment so i try it again and i don't realize that comment when twice.... youtube did it wrong.... was that irritating you?

  • @Fsk1125 maybe *trollface*

  • @TheAbirdstudio LOL "lol face"

  • I did not like Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 4 way better.

  • @Narcotic00 if u really hate this game just go back to year 1990's and stay there.. I mean cmon growthefuck up.. Everything changes, this 2nd person type of gaming is the new generation for RE i mean yes i loved the classic RE's but stop freakin hatin storyline is a bit odd and diff. No shit thatz cuz umbrella's down.. They had to came up with a diff shit..

  • MFW this RE game wasn't about survival... it sucked

  • @TheMango121 whats MFW mean?

  • @12kudoss

    My Face When...

  • This games should be survival horror and the dumb thing is u cant move while aiming -_-

  • Comment removed

  • @OtakuComedyClub True buddy very true, the action part didn't bother me at all. But what bothered me personally was the plot really. But everything else about this game was good. The coop idea was nicely implemented, lets hope Capcom isn't afraid to put that in 6. And Revelations, I'm looking forward to along with ORC.

  • RE5 would have been if they put more into it like 4 did. But on the personal side I wish the story and plot could have been better.

  • @blades34AK Other than that I like the co-op idea, hopefully they should bring that in 6.

  • im actually kinda okay with this sitter commercial. lol "dont fuck with me rodrigo" is my new catch phrase

  • See, I did hear the word racist all because it isn't.

  • re5 0/10

  • i prefer RE4

  • i hate when some1 reviews like resident evil 5 and has never played any of the other games i dont know if i can say this is the case but i relly hate when it is

  • You guys obviously didnt play it on all difficultys, on the 4th setting you bleed out in almost one hit, and die in a few seconds, its some crazy shit almost impossible solo

  • the zombies are too smart...the resident evil i know all the wanna do is eat slash infect other humans...the ones the game can even ride motorcycles.

  • @THE16THPHANTOM they are not zombies

  • This is not a RE game in my opinion.

    Resident Evil is and should be survival horror- I'm not saying RE 5 wasn't good but it disappointed me.

  • mercineries mode is probaly the best part of the game besides the graphics

  • @metaljay18 I hear ya, I wish I could play the campaign, but the plot wasn't as great as with 4. But thats just me.

  • it should be just you the wholetime like the previous games i don't like having to watch ouy for someone alse while i'm watching for myself even tho it wasn't that bad in RE4 in the part where you have Ashley with you that wasn't bad and a least your solo for like the whole game pretty much but this no how fuckin annoying

  • they shouldn't have made it where you have a partner at all it might have actually been somewhat scary that way this game is such a disappointment the only thing that it has going for it is that it is the best looking game in the series but the best games in the series are the first 4 hopefully if they decide to make a 6 hopefully it will be a geat game as well a great looking game because looks aren't everything even in this industry

  • I love all RE games expect gaiden.. xD

  • 3:30-3:57

    ...why dont they just make resident evil more like this? do people like having shootouts and just destroying everything more?

  • I really enjoyed this game when it came out I don't see why ppl bitch about it.

  • Play on Normal Difficulty surprised by lack of difficulty.

    -__-

    your guys job is video games, normal people are going to be noobs and usually waste ammo and first aid etc. Most games normal difficulty caters to noobs or casual.

    I don't know just my two cents.

  • fun as shit so just shoot everything with infinite rpg :3

  • Awesome Game! But still think RE 4 is better.

  • only game that can stand toe to toe with gears of war uhh!!! what are you on! Definitely not ps3 and psn.

  • 2:05 sheva doesnt even look

  • This game is so much like Resident Evil 4.. Chainsaw guy with sack on his head? Why does that remind me of Dr. Salvador? Awesome anyways!

  • You should talk about the gameplay, the plot, the graphics and not just about the fact that its not the same type of game as other RE's. You really spent minutes just rephrasing that. Aside from that I usually lie your reviews

  • I bought RE5 game and Super Street Fighter 4 at Best Buy with my $50 Gift Card and still have $6.47 left for PC HDMI Wire,PS3 HDMI Wire,Resident 4 HD Remake,Soul Calibur 5,Tekken Tag Tournament 2,Ninja Gaiden 3 and Metal Gear Solid Rising.I think it was a wise choice for me to take Resident Evil 5 and Super Street Fighter 4 over ICO and Shadow of Colosseus HD Remake that was $39.99 because I saved one cent since the two games each cost $19.99 .The total of the two is $39.98 plus tax $ 3.55 !!!

  • @GoodAlwaysDieYoung No one cares..... we came this far to see a review of RE5 not what you did to buy RE5.......... People these days... gosh..... lol JK

  • @wazzup627 Ho JK ...BK

  • @10jonnyboy

    REmake 15/10

    REcv 13/10

    For the vie: the only thing I don't like about this game is the unlimited ammo. I like the change to action, though. But they've had their fun and now its time to go back to surv. horror. Oh and CAPCOM's probably gonna treat ORC as the remakes of 2 and 3.

  • u can tell hill goldstein plays alot of gears of war

  • I liked RE5, but not loved it. Make RE6 with zombies and more survival horror! Too many action games nowadays. It gets a little numbing after awhile IMO.

  • how do u get unlimited bazooka

  • @DJANt12341 beat the game under 5 hours

  • @ThePandaWithGlasses kool...BTW i completed game on professional and got a score of 500,000 on mercenaries(DUO) on public assembly

  • any1 wanna play resident evil 5 add me on ps3 MESHACH98

  • OMG i really hated and felt sick when they said that this is not a resident evil game DX

  • @killingspeerx IMO it kinda wasn't a resident evil game, like the old school games. More like re4 but not as great. I really liked re5 though ^_^

  • this game would be decent if the ai was any good

  • This is currently my favorite online game.

  • This review is just proof that if you want a perfectly good reason not to trust the gaming press then look no further than RE5. Is it a competent co-op game? Sure it is. But a competent co-op game deserves about a 7.5 not a 9 or 9.5 you sold out money mongering fucks.

  • One of ign good reviews

  • Looks like it has all the same poor controls RE4 had that made me hate it.

  • @Radaral2 only a fool would hate RE4 and RE5.

  • can you play SP?

  • @friedmanuri yer

  • nothing to do with this game, but god I am sick of ON LIVE/CLOUD GAMING thing EVERY SINGLE VIDEO I WATCH it's that or a trailer of a game

    It's a f**king joke >.<

  • @Nuuccii92 steam on ps3 is okay, since if the game is on pc (RE5 for example) you can play it on both platforms.

    Onlive Sucks tho lol

  • @Nuuccii92 Get adblock. 

  • Make a RESIDENT EVIL GAME like RE5 With ZOMBIES!!!!!

  • RE5- 9/10

    RE4 12/10

    RE ORC- 9/10!

  • @10jonnyboy ur not srs! raccoon city looks like shit! the 8 minute gameplay was just blasting trough everything with a machine gun!!!

  • @ekininja9999 well i dont no, but my point is re4 4 the win!

  • @10jonnyboy whick one is RE ORC?

  • @Speekies Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City

  • @Speekies operation raccoon city

  • @10jonnyboy

    RE5 1/10 WTF does this have to do with RE Stupid storyline Capcoms worst creation. (graphics are nice but has nothing to do with RE!) dont get me wrong fun game but not really a fan.

    RE4 7/10 ok cool but has nothing to do with RE

    RE3 8/10 same as re2

    RE2 10/10 amazing story line

    RE1 10/10 original is always the best

  • @Narcotic00 wait.... do u not like me, or r u just telling me yo disison, because if u dont like me, i dont no y?!?!?!

  • @10jonnyboy of course its just my opinion no hard feelings buddy.

  • @Narcotic00 oh.... thats a feeleef, cuz i thought we wer guna have a fight, ok thanks, 4 that, ill sub

  • @Narcotic00 RE4 was amazing a 10/10 RE3 should be 8.5 With 2 being an 10 and 1 being a 9. Its completly biased by saying Original is always the best complete BS.
