IGN: Resident Evil 5 Review
| 8.0 | Presentation RE5 has a slick look and feel, but there are some usability issues. Split-screen is confusing to use, menus can be somewhat cumbersome and loading is abundant. No Mercenaries online? Really? |
|
| 9.5 | Graphics One of the prettiest games of this generation. Lighting, textures and landscapes are often stunning. There’s some screen tearing here and there, but it’s minor. Enemy animations quickly grow stale. |
|
| 9.0 | Sound Music is understated but sets the tone well, especially the nerve-jangling song that plays when enemies approach. Voice acting for most characters is surprisingly good, but some is just terrible. |
|
| 8.5 | Gameplay What RE5 lacks in standard survival horror it makes up for in action-packed combat, satisfying on-rails segments and killer final chapter. Controls are beginning to feel dated for an action game. |
|
| 9.0 | Lasting Appeal For a game with no competitive online multiplayer, RE5 has incredible replayability. Beating the game in various ways unlocks modes and features, and Mercenaries will keep you coming back for more. |
|
| 9.0(out of 10 / not an average)
Outstanding **hOoDnErD** |

Can’t wait for this game….1 more week! There are some mistakes in this review though. There will be online Mercenaries mode via downloadable patch and there is a new action control type, so it shouldn’t feel “dated”.

I tried the demo and I’m definitely not going to play this unless I have a friend around. The A.I was retarded.
