Trivia

Resident Evil 5 is the first main entry in the series to be produced after series' creator Shinji Mikami had left the franchise. Before the game was released, he claimed that he wasn't going to play the game, predicting that he wouldn't like it anyway since he hadn't made it himself. When he finally got around to play it, he commended Capcom's hard work, but stated that he wasn't especially happy or sad about it; he simply didn't like the idea of a Resident Evil game that was different to his style.

Goofs

The Gatling Gun is incorrect in this game, in real life, the GG is a hand crack gun that it attached to a turret of some kind. In the game, it's a Mini Gun that runs off a battery.

User Reviews

A terrific game but not as good as the fourth

Let me start out by saying that this game is good. Very good. In the Resident Evil universe once you beat the game there are always more things to accomplish so if you buy the xbox 360 version you'll really enjoy it. One of the letdowns of this game is that it's almost the same thing as Resident Evil four. The same item management, the same sounds that the guns make, pretty much the same controls. Resident Evil 4 was an amazing game but Resident Evil 5 doesn't add much to it really. I thought the plot was a little bit better then the fourth though. It has a little more edge and mystery. One new thing about this game is the cinema action modes. You will just be walking and boom! Out of no where comes a huge boss that you have to dodge or a boulder that you have to run away from. It adds a little more edge to the game. Overall, Resident Evil 5 is a fun entertaining game to play, but not as good as the first one.
