Resi 5: Bad Singlepayer, Good Co-Op?


Xbox World 360 is the first unofficial magazine that reviews Resident Evil 5 and it says, that the game is a disappointment in single player but pretty good in cooperative multiplayer. The magazine gives the game a rating of 81%.

"Resident Evil 5 is to Resident Evil 4 what Call of Duty: World of War is to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare: an imitation whose successes are predominantly ideas lifted straight from the previous game,"

"Of all the mistakes, none are greater than the game's biggest new feature: Sheva Alomar. The African born BSAA fighter is responsible for both the best and worst Resident Evil 5 has to offer."

"In single-player she's a liability. Sheva's intelligence is severely lacking. Hand her two weapons and she'll always choose the weakest without compromise."

"With a decent partner, many of single-player's problems are alleviated,"

"Pacing, cover and level design issues remain unchanged, but Sheva's morph from anchor to a helper changes the game dramatically. Make no mistake: Resident Evil 5 isn't Resident Evil 4 with an extra player, it's a co-op game in Resident Evil's style with a bonus single-player option thrown in to sweeten the deal."

"not nearly as good as we hoped - but you'll still love it with two."
