Resident Evil 5




This next-generation follow-up to the terrifying series introduces the theme of escape as its core survival instinct. As Chris Redfield, your life is in danger as you strive to complete your most dangerous mission yet in a sweltering desert colony where a new breed of evil has been unleashed. Swarms of marauding evil beings will charge at you when your pulse is racing at a heart-shattering pace. Environments will play a bigger factor than ever here, using the power of next-gen systems to create a world where terror might lurk in any alcove or shadow. Powerful lighting effects overwhelm the player with mirage movement and blinding brilliance, and even in the light of day, there is no safe haven in this Resident Evil. Powerful New Weapons - The number of weapon variations has been greatly increased providing new ways to keep enemies at bay. Fear Light as much as Shadow - Lighting effects provide a new level of suspense as players attempt to survive in both harsh sunlight and extreme darkness.

1 Star The worst Resident Evil ever
This is the worst Resident Evil included Resident Evil 4, its an action game without the horror like RE1, 2, 3 or Code Veronica.

I bought this game because I want to know how the history ends, but I knew that this game will be a bad game.

I love the original Resident Evil (RE1, 2, 3 or Code Veronica) because the syntesis were the horror, how you are walking in the corridor and how a zombi jump to you and this kind of things.

But this game its not RE, its only to run away from the thousand of guys, another thing is that the puzzles doesnt exist in this game, you only shoot shoot and shoot.

For mi its not a RE, this is a great deception, I hope that Capcom fix the next RE and make it like the originals, without accion and more horror.

4 Stars Must Have for ps3
Its like re4 but with online. Its great a little trouble getting used to te controls but its perfect.

4 Stars Best split multiplayer screen game on the PS3
This game is meant to be played with a friend. Sure its got its flaws: bad acting, cliche plots, and it could’ve been A LITTLE bit more scarier, BUT… all these are turned up-side-down into positive points when you play with a friend, cause you actually end up making fun of these things.

The playstation 3 lacks offline multiplayer games with a mission, but between LittleBigPlanet and Resident evil 5 (wow can’t believe i just put these two together in a sentence), we’ve got a pretty good arsenal. (the Xbox360 ALSO got resident evil 5).

Turn off all the lights in the room and enjoy.

P.S. there’s this Tomb raider chapter that we could’ve managed without.

5 Stars excellent game!
Resident Evil fans won’t be disappointed with this one at all, cooperative game play for the first time and still maintains RE essence.

1 Star Great graphics, awful game play, feels tired and predictable
As a huge fan of the Resident Evil franchise, I couldn’t wait for this to come out. Now that it has, I realize this game was all hype and no substance. For starters, the controls are VERY awkward. You spend time thinking about how you will execute the movement in parts of the game when they should just come natural. The biggest flaw design is that the designers have set up the game play where you must decide what items you want to use for each chapter BEFORE you begin the chapter. This seems fine at first, but as you play the game, they don’t even give you the option to drop ANY items! So once you are full you are STUCK with them. How stupid is this??? Then there is the story. The designers decided to tie ALL the Resident Evil stories together to give it a sense of “full circle”. Initially this seemed intriguing, but then as you play the game, the SAME old bosses that you encountered in Resident Evil 4 are here too. You attack one and the little creatures spring out from his back or head. Gee, didn’t see that one coming. But what really got me was their decision to go from a night time horror game to a daylight one. You can see EVERYTHING in the day light. What genius thought this up? Since the bad guys can be seen, they have them “hiding” in areas where it doesn’t make much sense, like the marshland. They were hiding in the water and just jumped out. I know they are infected with the Las Plagas, but can they BREATHE underwater? Apparently they can. Then absolute worst part and horribly corny is these infected beings (I can’t call them zombies since they are really not zombies) will RUSH up to you and attack and then almost come to a stop when they approach you. Oh and they like riding motorcycles too. Speaking of running, you can’t reload when you are running. Your character comes to a COMPLETE stop to reload. Ugh, can it get any worse?? Yes, it can. Your partner Sheva’s artificial intelligence is okay, but not the best. When she is armed with a gun and she runs out of bullets, for some reason she doesn’t switch over to the grenades or other weapons. She will switch from gun to gun, but when she’s out of ammo for those, she will go to the knife. You’ll also find that she uses ammo like it’s going out of style, you are always giving her bullets. I really wanted to like this game, but it’s just tired and predictable. I laughed when the “mystery” character that saved Irving appeared. Why was he dressed like Batman? Didn’t have the ears but it was close. Completely laughable. And they call this survival horror? Please, not a single thing was scary. The game play was boring and not even exciting. No sense of urgency or anything. I felt like I was going through the motions. All of their their previous games gave a sense of fun and excitement. Not this one. We’ve seen it all before in their other games. It’s as if they remade RE 4 and changed a few things. Completely boring. The graphics and sound however is incredible. If you have an audiophile system with an HD TV, it looks and sounds awesome. But you know what they say, all style and substance. That accurately describes this game. Save your money and don’t buy this. This is without question the WORST Resident Evil game in the series.

Resident Evil 4

May 26th, 2009

Resident Evil 4




In Resident Evil 4 you’ll know a new type of horror, as the classic survival-horror action returns with all-new characters, controls and storylines. We last saw Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 2 - a rookie cop in Raccoon City, fighting to stay alive. That was six years ago. Since then, government forces have managed to control the zombie threat and Leon has become a Federal agent. When the President’s daughter is kidnapped, Leon tracks her to a remote, hidden fortress in Europe - where he’ll relive the horror he faced six years before. Players will face never-before-seen enemies that make Nemesis seem like a kitten. You’ll be wishing for the usual Resident Evil zombies!

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good game, difficult mechanics
I’ve enjoyed the game, but getting used to the Wii controls has been difficult to master. I dislike that the controls do not allow for moving and aiming simultaneously. Player has to stop to shoot. This really makes it much harder than it needs to be.

5 Stars Great Game
Great game. If you’ve never played any of the resident evils, this is a great place to start.

5 Stars By far, the best Wii game to date.
I have been a fan of the RE series since its inception for the original Playstation back in 1996. Resident Evil 2 (1998) was my favorite game in the series until this one came along. Although some aspects of the original story, (if not all) have been lost in translation, and the now defunct zombies that have been replaced by psychotic cultists sometimes make you ask, and why is this called Resident Evil 4? Still, if your not a die hard zombie fan who is easily disappointed, then this is the game for you. Some older fans such as myself, may miss the old spookiness, and impending doom you always felt from being surrounded by zombies, however this game has its own little perks, the bad guys for instance are far more intelligent NPCs then the original games, they can follow you almost anywhere once they have you in their sights, and they are not afraid to open doors, I had a lot of fun waiting for a bad guy to walk through a door, and blow him away with the shotgun. The bosses are almost all unique and original, except for the first boss, I can’t help be reminded of the boss from Resident Evil 2 in the sewer. The bad guys are plentiful and can at times be a challenge, but never to the point of frustration, the sequences are strait out of a Hollywood horror, from being surrounded by freaks in a house, to death defying maneuvers that must be preformed almost precisely to win. This is the first mature game for the Wii that I can honestly say is one of my favorite games of all time. The controls are great, with the ability to switch between classic and Wii makes the game 10 times more playable especially when fighting certain bosses. If you only buy one mature game for Wii, let it be this. Quite possibly the greatest RE game of all time.

4 Stars Grown-up fun for when you just need to kill something!
I’ll keep it short and simple:

Quite an ‘edge-of-the-seat’ plot that does have you checking around corners just in case. I probably would have given up on it a few times if I hadn’t downloaded a walkthough from the net; some parts were just a little complicated for my old brain.

Interesting range of demons and bad guys though at times I just got bored with shooting them. The Merchant is an interesting distraction and necessity and you do have to choose wisely sometimes. I do wish he sold bullets though!!!

Overall it’s fun and will kill a great number of hours over time; it gives you a chance to chill out and still challenge your senses.

2 Stars Too scary
My husband bought this game for himself, but is too scared to play it alone!! I’ve watched as he plays and it really doesn’t look fun at all. He just walks around killing the same zombies over and over. I also hate having a game in the house my children can’t be exposed to. I found the game booklet in with my 4 year old daughter’s books the other night… Ugh.

For Sev and his squad, the invasion of Helghan is just the beginning. Tasked with securing Pyrrhus, the Capital City, the team quickly discovers that the Helghast are a formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to the planet’s hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power from the environment that can be used against the ISA. Sev and his team soon discover the fight is greater than simply addressing the enemy forces; the Legion must also learn how to handle the effects of the fierce enemy planet.

But if you do have online gaming go for it you will not regreat it.

5 Stars Better than some would say
Now there are two types of gamers. True Gamers and Fad Gamers. Now the difference is simple. True Gamers know what gaming is about. Which is fun, a good experience, ext. Fad Gamers which are named such as they typically join in on games like Halo, Resident Evil 4, Gears of War, the popular games. These people tend to say things like graphics aren’t as good as gears and some pretty game related ignorant things.

Now first off let me say this game is not about World War 2 in space. That is by far one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard. Let me explain the situation for you so if anyone says that you can correct them with great happiness. First off a group or planet called Terra rules over the colonies of Earth. Thus Helgan is under rule of another. Back about 20 or so years before this game Helgan was invaded by Vecta which royally pissed them off. This is where Visari came in power. Now this is not to say that the Helgast are not imperialistic warmongers. They are totally that. The First games war can thus be interpreted as a retribution war. Though the Helgast are evil they are not Nazi’s and this is a way more deeper war then just a world war 2 in space. Such association is incorrect and spread by the ignorant.

Now onto the game. This is a game that anyone can love. It has better graphics and physics than Gears. The game show impressive visuals through out the whole game which is really a bonus as the game is also fun. Cover will break apart realistically. Bullets will chip away at things. As graphics goes this sets a new bar in greatness.

But hey as we know a game can have the best graphics all it wants but it doesn’t matter if the game is boring and unfun right? Of Course. This game has that in spades. The enemies AI is actually intelligent. Seriously. Instead of just having canned animations which it repeats in certain circumstances they actually react and engage with intelligents. You throw a grenade they move away or dive away. They won’t use areas that they know are not the safest. Thus the easiest way to put it is that they intelligent enemies. Now for your team mate. Actually intelligent to a degree. Yeah there are flaws but the game does not punish you if your team mate makes a slight mistake. You can wait to pick him up till your done with what your doing. Well there is some urgency but overall it was great.

Now for their War Perfected Statement. Dang it it is true. I wish it wasn’t as the jokes I could make but it is. They honestly deserve this. Well perfected may be a bit extreme but it fealt like a war. First level I had to adjust to the fast pace action. Not fast pace like Call of Duty but a war pace that you would expect.

Cover is here and it is great and effective system which you must use to win. Now to counter the Gears rip off statements I will point out the game Killswitch. Killswitch came out 3 years before Gears and did cover based gameplay. Thus the game uses a mechanic. Ownership doesn’t belong to a game just because they do something first.

Killzone 2 is a great game and it is with all honesty a must have. It is a great game in every aspect it even comes with online multiplayer. Pick this game up you won’t be disappointed. It is deep as you want it to be as illustrated by my earlier statement. The action is great and there.

5 Stars EPIC
Game is solid. The story mode is good, but has some holes in it. Online play is incredible. A must for any fps fan!

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5




Experience the thrill and terror all over again with Resident Evil 5 for PS3. Featuring Chris Redfield of the original Resident Evil and Sheva Alomar, a West African agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this sci-fi survival game is staged in a remote desert colony packed with hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking enemies that represent a whole new breed of evil.

Cooperative game play options let you take teamwork to a new level. View larger.

Dramatic graphics and lighting effects add a realistic edge to your mission. View larger.

Move through vast environments that have a discernable impact on game play. View larger.

You’ll face faster enemies backed by improved AI. View larger.

Meet Two Fierce, Playable Main Characters
Back from the original title and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, former S.T.A.R.S. special forces team member Redfield is a battle-tested, founding member of the BSAA. With a reputation for superior marksmanship and phenomenal hand-to-hand combat abilities, he’s on the ground and up against a new strain of evil.

You’ll call his shots from the same over-the-shoulder third person viewpoint that distinguished Resident Evil 4, except this time you’ll also have the option of playing as his teammate, the fierce, local Alomar. Whoever you play as, updates to the earlier version’s third-person control scheme offer more options and promise intuitive interactions.

Learn to Work Together
The new cooperative game play element focuses on the realities of a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while still allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op modes ensure that you have options when picking a partner.

Steel yourself Against the Harsh Reality of Kijuju
An advanced version of Capcom’s proprietary MT Framework game engine brings groundbreaking graphics and effects to Kijuju, the highly-developed environment where this game’s action takes place. New, lifelike lighting schemes highlight the differences between harsh sunlight and extreme darkness, and when you move from one to the other, you’ll have to wait for your character’s eyes to adjust before you can see clearly, adding to the suspense and challenge of navigating this game’s environs.

Face the Next Generation of Evil
You’ll face new enemies with faster reflexes and improved AI, designed to be as dangerous alone as they are in groups and to keep even Resident Evil masters on their toes. Thankfully, they’re not the only ones who have evolved. This game also offers access to powerful new weapons variations that extend your destructive capabilities.

And the updated, quick-select inventory system allows for real-time inventory management, as well as allowing characters to trade items and allowing you to place an item on the directional pad for instant access. Add all this to a detailed storyline the touches on what the past ten years have meant for Redfield and a Hollywood-caliber soundtrack, and it’s clear that the latest installment in this series really does showcase all the elements at the heart of horror gaming.

5 Stars Great game
I had this for PS1 back in the day. But my PS1 finally died a year or two ago. I do have a PS2, but my copy of Resident Evil 2 had scratched to the point that the PS2 couldn’t read it. But, I just happen to have a Gamecube because of Resident Evil 4, so this is great! I also bought the Resident Evil Nemesis for Gamecube for the same reason. They are both really good, and haven’t lost anything in the transfer from PS1 to Gamecube. But I wouldn’t recommend Resident Evil 0 or 1 for Gamecube. I didn’t like those. Get Resident Evil 1 Director’s Cut for Playstation, that one is better.

3 Stars Resident Evil 2,The Horror’s Back….sort of
First of all let me say that my introduction into the Resident Evil series was R.E.4 which is considered by many (so far including myself) to be the pinnacle of the series in spite of a few of its quirks. Also playing the Gamecube version of the original Resident Evil afterwards while not overall as good was still a fantastic game as far as giving me a good, girly scream inducing, scare. Sound design, graphics and sometimes unintentionally funny dialogs were what made these games good. Now it is true that starting with the best of the series unfortunately means that I have nowhere to go but down. However I didn’t know that R.E.1 and 4 were the best at the time. That being said you can imagine my mix of astonishment and disappointment when I put in R.E.2 expecting an amazing remake like R.E.1 and get a slightly jazzed up PS1 game on the Gamecube. Now one might think that graphics aren’t truly essential for a good horror video game experience and to them I’d say your right, to an extent. However the only (very) slightly upgraded graphics of R.E.2 on the Gamecube (arguably having some of the best graphics of the previous gen consoles) is like expecting to get a five star meal at a high class restaurant and receiving a plate of day old hamburger helper. The graphics make the humans and zombies look robotic the scenery look ugly and unfortunately the creepy atmosphere is diminished to the extent of me needing to turn off the lights and have Freddy Kruger standing next to me to feel scared sometimes. The sound design and surprise zombie attacks still are enough to make me jump out of my visually under-stimulated skin every now and then. The voice acting is still as funny as always due to it being so over the top it could jump over Mount Everest while still trying to be serious. As usual the game-play mechanics are slow and clunky and you never have control of the camera which I suppose is meant to aid in the fear that a super zombie could charge you at any time and you’re caught unprepared with dwindling health and amo but after a while it is just irritating. You are also limited to the amount of items you can carry like weapons, health items, keys, amo, or even some piece of a puzzle. Right away this is annoying because if you get to a puzzle that requires an item you stored at the last save point then you need to run all the way back, get it and return to solve the puzzle while making the choice between health items and amo. I suppose that these are all elements that are standard for the series but even so they are annoying. The point I’m trying to get to is that this game is average. That being said if your looking for a game to give you a good scare then you could do worse but if a scare is what you really want then ignore R.E.2 and get something like Silent Hill 2. This is an ok game if you’re a fan of the series (which I partially am) and if you are then I give a small recommendation. If you’re just looking for any game with zombies then you’d get a better experience with Dead Rising, R.E.1 or heck just watch a George Romero film and play with the remote control. Now let it be known that in trying to write a review for a game I look at it not as a fan but as a level-headed person just looking for a game to play depending on interests so here is a preemptive “I don’t care” to all the obsessive fan-boys (or fan-girls) and I will not be changing the score. It got an average score and it should be happy with that.

KONAMI Silent Hill 2 ( Playstation 2 )

2 Stars US game could not be played in Austria
Game was sent promptly and in a very good condition, but it couldn’t be played in european GameCube

5 Stars It’s just a port of the old one but still an amazing game.
It may just be a port of the Playstation version, but who gives? It’s a must have for RE fans and in my opinion, it is the best of the classic RE games. Corny voice acting and crappy graphics but it’s a port from the PS1 so you gotta understand, it’s not a remake. This game is decent in every way such as your damage meter, enemy hit points, inventory spaces, to health rejuvination item amounts, ammo, puzzles and boss difficulty and

how frequent enemies appear(on EASY MODE. Don’t try playing normal unless you are an expert.). I give the gameplay a 4.6 and the overall a 4.8.

5 Stars res 2
if a resident evil fan a must buy. changing dish from 1 @ 2 to 2 @ 1 changes game play.
