    It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode.

    A wildly entertaining third-person shooter that fully realizes its potential on the PC with vastly superior graphics, better controls and an epic co-op experience. [Nov 2009, p.66]

    Where did this famous horror go? RE5 still could have been a great action game. If only the controls were suited for the action game. Co-op mode is worth trying you can curse level design and A.I. all together. [Oct 2009]

    I really wanted to like this game. My two main complaints. The controls SUCK! The audio sound effects SUCK. The story, concept, graphics, are great. But the really clunky controls and immovability make this game almost impossible to play. It's a constant fight just to control the player.… Expand

    This game looks really good. Graphics are great and the story line is very good. But what kills the fun in this game is that you feel like you have glue on your shoes. Controls are so bad for being a 3rd person shooter that you cant even imagine. Probably something you can get used to but i dont want to learn a whole new way of playing a computer game when i spend alot of money on them.… Expand

    "Resident Evil 5" = REPETITIVE gameplay + Dumbass AI + Idiotic story + Windows Live account. The result? Don't buy this.
