The Residents of Evil

I am glad RE5 came to the xbox. Means I can play it without bleeding out another $600.



That's Chris and Sheva on the cover. You're gonna play as them (duh).

In the opening, you get treated to this beak-face guy and his torture of some African. (Feel the racism coming, people).


I haven't finished the game yet cause Sheva got aggravating. I WANT THE RESIDENT EVIL 4 GAMEPLAY BACK/STYLE BACK.
Actually everything's about the same as RE4, the way zombies charge towards you, how they react to a gunshot, die and the SFX is almost the same as its predecessor.
However there are also stuff from RE4 not in RE5. Sigh...

I miss the merchant from RE4 and his strange accent.


I miss the inventory system where you adjust the positioning of your items according to the grids. (Of course I miss that blond guy called Leon down there.)


I miss not having a partner whose AI makes you scream "WHAT THE F**K, SHEVA?! DON'T BLOCK MY WAY / STOP USING AMMO FASTER THAN RUNNING WATER / STOP SHOOTING ME, BITCH!"

Anyway, Resident Evil 5 also starts off the first chapter intense by having you run away from this, what they call, Executioner and a bunch of African "zombies" for like 10 mins till help comes.


RE4 had you fighting off this chainsaw guy(bottom) along with Spanish "zombies" till the church bell rings.


RE5: They should seriously take away the healing-spray action. It looks like you're using deodorant to heal yourself. It's really strange. RE4 had nothing of that sort.

From 1up.com: Sheva and deodorant-healing spray don't go along well.


So many games. So little time.

I sound like a geek.
