Resident Evil 5 is one of the most polished to date. It looks and sounds fantastic, and the animation of characters (enemy included) is almost lifelike. There are plenty of different gaming environments too, so unlike F.E.A.R. 2 you are not restricted to rummaging around dark and derelict buildings with a flashlight. It’s also an action feast for two playing co-op and gives the game second wind once you’ve played through the single-player campaign. For all its plus points, Resident Evil 5 is not without its flaws. The most annoying is that the main character is slower than the goddamn zombies and you never really feel in total control - at least not compared to other third-person games like Gears of War or Dead Space. Reloading can only be achieved by aiming and standing still, and not being able to melee with a selected weapon is unrealistic (you have to use a knife). You can only melee when standing still, too, which is a pain, and discarding a weapon sticks it up your ass instead of throwing it on the floor for weapon caching. Get over these annoyances (and you will) and you’ll love every minute of this fantastic game.
