Resident Evil 5 is amazing.
Here are the wins and cons
wins:
Co-Op is incorporated well and a must do.
Story is very epic
Replay value is very high
Mercenaries is still really fun to play.
Cut scenes are over the top, Hollywood style.
The inventory does provide some tension due to having the inventory being live and doesn't stop the game.
Cons:
Playing it alone isn't as fun.
Sheva's AI is braindead.
Some story elements are predictable.
Inventory doesn't feel like the other RE's
Where the f*ck is the merchant?
But over-all, this is a must have for fans of the RE series, mostly the fans who like Resident Evil 4 more than the other RE's cuz this might piss off some old time fans. Though its a 12 hour game, Ive spent more than 35 hours and counting, its just that addicting.
