Great visuals. Great Game. Way too short.

RE5 is typically next generation RE4, which is more than half the reason I grade this game a 9, alongside lighting effects and excellent depth. I loved RE4, and 5 took nothing away from that. I played through the game on medium, veteran, and professional ... and the challenge isn't all that hard, except damage taken. Some boss fights and creatures may be frustrating, but you will not have too much of a problem if you have the right kind of upgraded equipment. The bonus features are okay, given the opportunity to use unlimited ammo will always have people coming back for more. Aside from that, there is a bunch of various unlocks like different char files, char statues, alt. uniforms, game types, etc ... all nothing that beneficial for the average gamer. If you are like me, and a RE junkie since day one, you will appreciate all the extra files and content. :]

However, the game was too short and repetitive. Many reviewers will say this game is "so freakin' fun mann!!" and "you can play this over and over again without getting bored." This is true at first, and at first I mean a way, WAY through the game. After you unlock everything ... it just gets kind of repetitive and much of the content just seems so old. Hell, after beating the game three times, it just made me want to play RE4, in which I did =P.

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone though. It is a great game. And for all those gamers who say this game could be better with a walk-while-shoot concept, and I pledge the opposite. It wouldn't be RE if it was walk,shoot ... it would take too much away from the RE atmosphere, and too much of a GoW type gameplay (which isn't bad, but just not RE =]). So if you decide to buy, rent, or borrow this game, ENJOY!!!
