Admittedly I've never really played a Resident Evil game before, I've never been into the whole "Horror" genre at all. Not movies, not books, and not video games, it's just not my style. However, I really wanted to give Resident Evil 5 a try because of how good it looked. The games artistic style is very impressive and and the graphics in the game are stunning. The frame rate doesn't seem to drop and there are no little hiccups within the story mode. It looks beautiful all around, even when it goes to a cut-scene and back again, it's seamless, bravo.
The controls, while they take a while to get used to, fit within what I perceive the games' style to be, and I don't have an issue with them at all. Well, maybe if there were a quick select option, to change weapons, but having to press triangle, move the D-pad to the right weapon, pressing X, selecting Equip, and then aiming again takes WAY too long.
Chris is a certifiable bad ass, but his "Guns" are overly developed and massive for someone in his position. These types of guys, special forces, elite para military guys, etc. don't concentrate on building their arms up for Mr. Olympia, they're concerned with speed, quickness, and efficiency, being bulky doesn't mesh well with that concept. Oh yeah, and where in the hell is this guys' neck huh? It goes from ear to shoulder immediately! What's with Capcom and their inability to draw a neck on their male characters? Even in Street Fighter IV, there are no necks on some of the male characters, check for yourselves.
Sheva on the other hand is drawn to perfection, she's a very beautiful character. However, for being military trained, she's a horrible shot, or at least she hasn't been trained to kill. In the mission where you're in the caves/mining tunnel, and you decide to hold the lantern, she is constantly shooting people in the gut instead of the head, what's up with that? Back in the mission where the big dude with the chainsaw comes after you, she stands there and offers no help as he cuts your head off with the chainsaw! COME ON!!!
If the stupid bitch would aim for the head, things could go a lot easier for her and you as a team. However, since she loves the gut shot, you are constantly trying to cover for her and lend her ammo. Bitch, shoot the face!!!
The game as a whole is enjoyable and I will play it through onto completion, but there are just a few issues, as stated above, that bother me. Enjoy the game, but be prepared for the above issues.
