RE5 is truly a journey to be savored by RE fans.
Although the game is fantastic to say the least, it should not be over shadowed by any of the previous installments. Nor should it be shown in the lime light above the rest. The previous games were fresh ideas and were (in one way or another) ever changing or advancing. By now the Resident Evil series has come a long way and has refined into the beloved games we know today. What makes this game so great? Throughout the game you are playing cooperatively with the AI or another gamer via internet. The AI is by no means shotty. In fact it's actually very dependable! Sheva will help you if you are in trouble and will heal you if you are low on health. You can give them commands and they will also assist you by giving you ammo. This however also means that you must take care of them as well. What goes for them helping you, you must also help them. This helps you to concentrate deeper on what's going on around you. The graphics are very impressive as is the sound. As the story unfolds it will suck you in, and you will be surprised at how much you thought you knew, but then totally floored by a unexpected twist. But I'm not telling! Just know that it'll hit you when you least expect to.
Enjoy the ride!!!
