Resident Evil 5 (Demo)

Hello. H4ZM4T, You're favorite nerd, is here to blog about video games again! And this time, it's the highly anticipated RE5... But just a demo.


So Of course, I don't know everything about the game yet, but I can certainly write about what's good so far.

I, personally, am a HUGE RE Fan. I love every game (Even Survivor) and am very excited for 5. Now Onto the Review.

In this game you play Chris Redfield (From the original RE) who is a badass SWAT Type dude trying to rid the infection in the South African area. You get a partner, whose name is Sheva, and they basically help you rid this monsterous infection. And Honestly? Thank GOD. This game is definitely a lot faster paced then it's predecessor. The Zombies seem to be more numerous, the ammo seems to be sparce, and the piss in my pants seems to grow more and more as I pull the trigger, begging my friend to give me ammo.

As I just mentioned, another WONDERFUL Inclusion of this game is the Cooperative mode, where your buddy can play as your female friend. This makes the game a lot easier, because even though you can roughly tell what your AI friend is doing, it's always easier to communicate with your friend then a computer program (When I am yelling "Dammit Man! Shoot that Zombie!" Chances are, AI Sheva won't hear me.) I'm not going to lie, after seeing the little girl from RE4 practically ruin my fun thanks to the fact she can't do anything except scream "LEEEEEOOOOOOONNNNN!!", My hopes weren't very high. But, when Sheva came in and murdered all the zombies I couldn't see, and proceeded to help my dying ass, I paused the game, got on my knees, and thanked CAPCOM for putting the greatest thing ever into this game; A REAL Partner.

The graphics are amazing. I saw the cutscenes and previews and didn't think it would live up to the 360 quality of graphics, but when I saw the vibrant and suspicious area of South Africa, I practically went into a seizure(of happiness, of course.) The Graphics are very detailed, and although the game is no Crysis (Thank god) You should be able to look at it and go "Those are pretty damn good."

Even though it was a demo, I saw very few bugs, except one major one; You can't pick how much ammo you give your friend. This bugged the shit out of me. The people I play with tend to see a box of ammo, realize they have 50 bullets, think about adding it to their collection while I'm blowing off heads saying "I'm down to like, 8 bullets in my box" and go "Well I'll grab this and give it to them!" This would be wonderful, if they didn't give me all 60 bullets they had. Even though I'm more then happy to have a lot of ammo, I feel like a greedy douche having it all while my now ammoless buddy is getting his head ripped off because he is running out of ammo.

Aside from that, the game is astonishing. I thought it would practically be a repeat of RE4, and even though the gameplay is similar, the story, graphics, and overall funness of the game shot through the roof. I have played the Demo over and over and all it does is make me cry at the fact RE5 isn't out yet (I have the Collector's Edition Prordered!)

I give it a 9.5/10. If the small ammo problem is fixed, I'm almost Positive RE5 completed will get a 10. Definitely the best in the series, and it isn't even done.
