Resident Evil 5 is
a fun and frantic evolution of RE4's breakthrough gameplay and the
series' horror themes. Thirteen years ago, Capcom helped revolutionize
the action with a game that would entirely new genre dubbed "survival
horror." In the years that followed, the series continued to build upon
the standards set by the first game, Then, in 2005, Resident Evil 4
radically departed from its predecessors and broke as a more action
oriented game. Resident Evil 5, the latest offering in the long running
series, expands on the action heavy its forerunner and is built from
the ground up to support cooperative gameplay. Though it can no longer
be considered a survival horror game, Resident Evil 5 manages to retain
and effectively translate the most important aspect of that genre
tension into its new mechanics. It crafts a fun, collaborative
experience that will keep you on your toes the entire time.
The
core combat mechanics haven't fundamentally changed since Resident
Evil 4. The action still unfolds from an over the shoulder perspective,
certain battles or cutscenes are accompanied by brief quick time events,
and you still have to stop moving to fire your weapon (though you gain a
bit more mobility thanks to your newfound ability to walk
sideways). Resident Evil 5's slow movement and gunplay take some time to
get used to, and folks expecting a run and gun game may find the action
too sluggish for their tastes. Fortunately, this slowness isn't really
an issue within the game, because enemies are deliberate with their
attacks and are better handled with a and steady aim. Though the is
fully supported, the standard keyboard/mouse combo offers vastly
superior aiming precision and control, which makes it by far the better
option.
Resident
Evil 5 successfully builds on the foundation of its predecessor while
taking a drastically different direction. Having a partner introduces
new gameplay depth and dramatic tension that make the game much more
exciting to play. Though the slower, more deliberate movement and
shooting may not appeal to everyone, this sequel's frequent large scale
battles and co-op play still offer a fun and exciting adventure.
