This game is very good, but it's difficult, but it's still fun if you play in COOP because Sheva's artificial intelligence is rubbish.I loved the ambiance and the background music that causes a lot of suspense.

Resident Evil fans will remember the series first venture onto the ps3 and for most it was a disappointing transition, they took out most of the survival horror elements that made the original games instant classics and replaced them with an action/adventure without any zombies what so ever, but some did enjoy it and i was one of them, it wasnâ

I am The Destroyer. I will break games, complain about the littlest detail, and tell you whether or not the game is worth buying. A lot of things to say here, but can't due to the 5000 character limit.
First, I'd like to say that if you're a first-time player, play offline. Don't play co-op without an actual friend. The community is now plagued with hackers, trolls, and gamers who will attempt to skip any cut-scene on you or else threaten to rage quit. They will also hog all of the items and ammo for themselves. Playing offline allows you to adapt to the physics and gain an understanding to how the main gameplay is, until you are comfortable enough to see the "real world" for what it is. More story skits also take place offline.
1. Story
The story takes place in 2009, where B.S.A.A. member, Chris Redfield is dispatched to Kijuju, Africa to apprehend a black market weapons dealer named Ricardo Irving. Due to the distrust Africans have towards Americans in the story, Sheva Alomar is also assigned to assist Chris on his mission. But as they prepare, they notice something isn't right. And when things go quiet, all hell breaks loose shortly after.
The best part about the story is that it's introduced in a way where you don't feel left out for missing the previous games. Veteran characters like Chris Redfield are back, so it appeals to both new fans and old fans. But... There are a few flaws in the story to point out: first of all, the B.S.A.A. members have radio headsets with them, including the main broadcast from HQ, yet they'll sometimes act as if they don't have any contact with each other at all. Another flaw you'll notice is the lack of police/military protocol "Hands in the air, NOW!" type of deal. Can't explain more because this review isn't marked with spoilers, but if you're intelligent enough you'll figure it out. Finally, Chris should have died so many times... in just the story! Count it as you're playing through! Despite this; the story does manage to deliver a satisfying ending that most fans can agree with.
2. Voice Acting
Capcom follows the role of "If you're gonna play your part, you better do it right!" kind of deal. Always keeping the cast fresh, shedding new light on the Resident Evil universe.
3. Graphics and Visuals
The graphics are superb in every way & form. Not much else to say.
4. Gameplay
Gameplay refers to combat, customization, and various areas you can explore within the game. Put it all together and it's Awesome!
-Battle System-
This game is co-op focussed. What makes Resident Evil 5 unique for strategy is that ammo picked up is only given to one player rather than both. So if you pick up your partner's shotgun ammo they desperately need you'll have to give it to them manually. Of course this means nothing once you unlock infinite ammo.
-Customization-
Resident Evil 5 has a small bit of an rpg elements here, painting experience points with gold, and distributing them in order to buy or upgrade weapons. The great thing about this game is that you can upgrade any weapon you want in any fashion you want. It's possible to complete the game without upgrading but is significantly more difficult.
-Exploration-
The exploration in this game is just a point-to-point: get to this location, fight boss, and you win. There isn't any free-roaming and is just a one set path - something which most fans will be disappointed with. This slightly takes away from the atmosphere, as you're not able to come back and revisit an area without using chapter select.
5. Soundtrack
For a Survival Horror game, it kind of lacks it's elemental music. In fact, it drifts over to the point where it feels like an action game. The soundtrack stands good, but isn't great.
6. DLC
Finally, DLC that is worth phrase. You'll end up playing Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape only a few times, but you'll definitely revisit Versus mode, and possibly The Mercenaries Reunion. Each coming with their own filler & type of fun.
7. Personal Enjoyment
The main campaign feels short; but I had so much fun playing this game with my friends. We've put thousands of hours into this game because it was the best game to play after a hard day's work. Most of our time was spent in Versus mode, where we played as our favourites, and thought of unique ways to kill Majinis rather than killing each other.
8. Overall Verdict
If I could, I would rate this game a full 10. But personal feelings should only have a small impact on the overall score. And that's why Resident Evil 5 gets rated a 9 out of 10. Without DLC; it is only a 7 out of 10. Pick up the game because it's worth a playing at least once. I would say more about the game but the rest is better to experience personally.

With the success of RE 4, CAPCOM tried to replicate the formula with RE 5, however this title has the great failure to focus completely on the action, and with a "tank" control that doesn't work in the final gameplay. Parts of the plot are very good and others are silly. The horror and puzzles (essential in the franchise) are almost nonexistent. Graphically it's great for the time and it can be fun, it's not such a bad game despite its gameplay, but it's not a good RE. The experience is complete with all the released DLCs, which add more game hours and replay value.

This game appears to be great, but I played for just 1 hour in the PSN+ timed trial. Nice graphics, interesting story, but... why the hell you can't walk and shoot? Terrible gameplay. This game with Uncharted mechanics would be perfect! They used a overpast gameplay... You can't run, jump, shoot, make a parkour, etc. So sad...

I have always been a Resident Evil hater and this is one of them. The gameplay is so boring and actually rather difficult to maneuver. Your AI partner is as dumb as a brick (but sometimes useful), She just runs off into random directions and whenever your trying to call her back she just gets even more lost than before. The zombies are usually really boring and hindering to shoot (just like any other typical resident evil game).
The RPG elements also really ****. Do not buy.
