Great single-player, but even better with a friend
Pros: RE5 plays pretty much exactly the same as 4 with a few minor upgrades here and there, so if you liked 4 you should feel about the same with 5.
Graphics are top-notch and i'm playing on a standard definition TV so that's saying something, facial expressions, character movements/animations, and the voice acting is all superb and fits perfectly with the RE atmosphere.
Once your done with the game, it has many things you can do afterwards including co-op mercenaries, and a downloadable 4-player versus mode for $5
You can get it at gamestop for $20 if you trade in 2-select Wii/360/PS3 games
Cons:The game is a bit shorter than the last one as gamespot stated on average of about a 12-hour playthrough
Online is horrible as far as getting started up but once in-game there is no problem
Tiny frustrating game mechanichs like no weapon swap online
Overall: Bottom Line is it's worth buying because of the nice replay value and the 4 different diffculties(one of which is unlockable) so the lack of length in the game can be substituted with a high dificulty setting as to make it more challenging thus a longer experience, and if you feel it might be too short then just rent it.
Final Score-9.3
