Resident.. Evil... 5...
Or so the intro screen says.
Good game. Glad I rented it.
End story...
Naw... That'd be too simple. You need more information. Admittedly, these are old games and therefor not anything anyone is going to clamor over... but still they are fun games.
Resident Evil 5 is part of the story of Chris Redfield. He's a resident evil old timer and has been around for ages. I'm sure you can lookup his history on wikipedia.
But RE5 is the first game in the series where a AI character is forced on the player for pretty much the entire game. RE4 had Leon stuck with the presidents daughter(Ashley, I think) sometimes but she got kidnapped as often as not. However, Sheva is an important part of the game. You always have someone to talk to about things and it's nice to have someone covering your back. Admittedly, a real human would do a better job in a few circumstances but honestly... I rather liked the AI version. She was a better shot than I certainly ever was. So giving her the long distance weaponry(sniper rifle) has so far worked out wonderfully. She's helpful if a bit stupid.
The storyline of the game is pretty normal for a RE game. You are one of the only people in the area and you have to save things. The stakes are definitely a bit higher though. In RE4, you saved yourself and the girl. In this one, you save yourself and the world. You're trying to prevent the baddy from doing something on a global scale.
Initial baddies are pretty "hohum" as far as challenges go but just as often you get the "Oh, my god... what the hell is that?" moments. Pacing on the enemies is spot on. You are dealing with the "eh" guys in the beginning but there are just enough of those moments to keep things from getting boring. The first fight scene is against a foe who as far as I can tell can't be killed. You've got to simply survive until you can get away. It's a fast paced introduction to the world. And the boss monsters are inventive and fun. For the most part, the weak spots are either spotted by yourself or your AI partner points them out after awhile.
All in all, the game is fun and I continue to play it. I anticipate finishing it probably this weekend. So I'll provide an final update later.
But right now, I haven't had any "oh, screw this game... I'm going to bed." moments with it.
Definitely worth playing.
