The Review Ninjas

The best way to describe RE 5 is Ninjtasic! (seriously, ninjas really say that!) If amazing made sweet ninja monkey love to awesome RE 5 is their lovechild. With ingenious co-op game play that leaves you screaming into your headset pleading with your partner to revive you in time, visuals that make the folks at pixar shed a tear, and enemies that never seem to let up RE 5 is a definite must have. Although RE 5 doesn’t offer the constant terror of earlier games in the series you may still find yourself needing a change of pants before it’s all said and done.
What many returning fans of the series may miss are the challenging puzzles that were strategically placed throughout the game. Instead of creating cool and interesting mysteries for the players to solve developers opted instead to just throw more enemies at you. Admittedly blowing away horde after horde of pissed off zombie wannabees is fantastic but the opportunity to flex your mental muscle will be missed. An interesting new challenge is the ability to only carry 9 items at a time. It will most likely annoy and excite you at the same time.
In game mechanics are nearly flawless. The occasional inability to properly revive your partner aside playing RE 5 is exactly what a game should be, FUN! Not only will you forget about the inability to run and gun, you’ll in fact begin to enjoy it! That’s right I said it, you’ll enjoy not being able to run and gun! Targeting is smooth and quick, the buy and sell system has been simplified, and the upgrade system offers some cool little goodies if you are persistant. All in all RE 5 is a must have, a must play, and a must drool over for years to come!
Don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself.

I give it 4.5 Ninja Stars!
