What is the appeal of Resident Evil 5?

I'm a little frustrated because I've been giving the game a chance, and I'm not having any fun with it. Those tank controls are ridiculously clunky and are just a pain to maneuver. There is no fear factor to the game, and all of the challenge is derived from the fact that the player has to fight with the controls to get anything done. So I ask any fans of this game, what exactly do you like about it?

It has a lot of replay. I clocked in 65 hrs and completed the game over 14 times.

I really liked it but I feel the strong reliance on Co-OP killed it a litle bit for me. YOur always having a partner to save you from something that you should be able to break free from sense your a giant bodybuilder looking guy and Leon from Re 4 was able to much more. Then having a Cpu partner on Pro Mode was a pain she was holding me back and I idnt really want to find a game on XBX live.

did you not play RE4? or any resi game before RE5?

Well it certainly isn't a good Resident Evil game, but it's still great if you take it by itself. It's not scary anymore but it's just as tense as RE4.

It has plenty of boulder-punching.

I thought it was a great game, it was just following an utterly brilliant game in RE4. Also it's way to damn bright for a RE game. If you look at it (which is what I had to do) as a "stand alone game" as opposed to part of the RE brand it has good gameplay, great graphics, decent lengthy story, and is challenging on the higher setting. Pretty much what I ask for in a game.

It's like RE4, which is one of the best games of all time. dvader654

It's like RE4, except it killed the sense of fear and isolation by setting the game in broad daylight and shifting to a co-op-focused gameplay experience. RE5 is a good game on it own merits, but it's a shame that it lost that balance between survival horror and action game that RE4 really had down.
