Ups & Downs of Resident Evil 5

The game takes place in a little town called in Kijuju in Africa the two main characters in the game are Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar. Chris is working for BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) He is sent to Kijuju to capture Irving a Bio technology seller to terrorist. Upon arrival Chris meets sheva another BSAA agent but before they begin to search for Irving they find that the citizens of Kijuju are possessed by the Uroboros Virus. Through the game you play as Chris while sheva can be played by another person or the computer takes over and they are both used to help the player get through puzzles and find hidden areas of the game and reach new levels.

Ups- even thought there is a lot to improve on the aiming the weapon upgrades make even the weakest pistol in the game into a powerful weapon capable of taking down most enemies. There is quite a diverse collection of weapons in this game that you could spend hours or even days trying to unlock and upgrade. There is also infinite ammo for every gun which can come in handy for those big boss levels. The graphics on this game are the best out of all the resident evil series. The levels provide diverse environments for intense battles against possessed hordes of enemies. The enemies drop treasure which can help you buy new weapons.

Downs – now the game can be a little fun but then again there are some problems with it the whole aiming system is lacking the running is pretty slow the enemy’s are pretty slow when it comes to fighting them it can get a little boring. When your about to beat a level swarms or possessed people and mutant spiders would come out of nowhere. If you don’t have another person playing with you it gets a little bit annoying the computer would control sheva then it gets pretty stupid she would not react fast enough to help you or she would just run around and get separated. For a game that came in 2009 with a good story and nice graphics the game play are ok but there still some things they could do to improve.
