I had been really looking forward to RESI5 but was disapointed by the Demo on XBL marketplace so nowhave not bought the game. Owners, please help me decide wether to actually get it as im a bit strapped for cash now and need to make sure It will really be worth it, even thoguh Resi 4 is one of my favourite games. Thanks

If you loved 4 then you will love 5 even more. Its RE4 only with split screen co-op. How could you say no to that?

Ive been playing the RE series since the begining and absolutley love them. I can easily say that this is the best one, not the scariest, but it plays the best and going in with a friend is incredible

I really didn't like the demo, but I put my faith in the series and bought a copy anyway... They didn't really change anything from the demo. Luckily I got to play my friends copy before I unwrapped mine, I'm going to return it soon.

Co op with my friends is some of the most fun I've ever had with games. I actually like the slow mechanics and standing still while shooting, and I think it makes for a better game. With the added sluggishness you need to pick your priorities and you have less chances for messing up, making the game much more interesting.

After beating it today, and looking back on it-- it was a fantastic game. I will surely play a few more times. Although not as groundbreaking as RE4 before it, RE5 is definitely worth the $60 if you're a die-hard Resident Evil fan.

Very, very good. Played it for 6 hours straight today on Co-op, fantastic. The demo was a really poor representation of what the game is, it is a lot more fun than that. Some things are bad (Like with most games) but they are small issues, and the core gameplay is intact and better than ever.

Its my 3rd fav RE atm (behind RE2 being my fav and RE4 being my 2nd), co-op is really fun specially if you're doing it with a friend, the sp AI partner is annoying as hell though

I think RE5 is great. It's one of the most intense games I've played in years. It's not survival horror and doesn't try to be. It's an edge of your seat thriller and proud of it. No game better captures the feelings of panic, anxiety and helplessness when staring down overwhelming odds. You're thrown from one tense encounter or explosive set-piece after another with barely enough chance to breath.

If you liked RE4 you will certainly like this game. The game is in many ways almost identical to RE4 but with amazing graphics and cool online Co-op. The split-screen co-op is a little strange because it doesn't use the entire screen so you better have big TV.

Why don't you wait for a while untill the price drops or you save up some money. Honestly, is there any rule saying you have to play the game the week or release?

As opposed to the other split screen co-op games that do let you see the entire screen??

For impressions and feedback about the game, the best place would be the official thread that's been made for the game.
