Resident Evil 5 is the seventh installment of the Resident Evil saga. Although named after number 5, there are some other installment of the saga which has the game's name in it but is not a number. Resident Evil 5 is produced for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 console. There is also a version made for the PC.

Gameplay:

The game feature is very similar to Resident Evil 4. Players are still able to aim with the laser and fire at will instead of auto aim like in the previous installments for the Playstation1 and Resident Evil : Code Veronica X , Resident Evil : Outbreak, and Resident Evil : Outbreak File #2. Players will have to aim with the L1 button but and to fire, instead of pressing the button X, the player will have to press the R1 button.

The 'Follow Up' attack is still feature as well. When an enemy is down on the floor is injured, players can press the button displayed on the screen to damage kill the enemy. Now, the graphic for this game is enhanced and much more realistic. It lets you interact with the game's surrounding much more.

Resident Evil 5 has a new system for the game. Players are accompanied by another AI or partner. It can also be played in two-player mode. It is co-operative in which players must work together to help one another. Also, the game now only allows each player to carry up to 6 items only.

Also, players reunite with Resident Evil's Hero : Chris Redfield, a character which they will control. They will also be able to control a new character named Sheva Alomar. An african woman who is fighting against bio-terrorism.

Synopsis:

Chris Redfield is now working for an anti-bioterrorism organization, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance. The game is set six years after the destruction of Umbrella, the corporation that lead to the Raccoon City incident. Chris is assigned to investigate the smuggling of Bio terrorism weapon in Africa by a man named Ricardo Irving. He was informed that his partner will be there to meet him. He is then dropped to Kijuju from a helicopter. Upon arrival, he met with Sheva Alomar, his partner for this mission.

They travelled through the village of the Africans to meet up with the man who will provide them with weapons. The villagers seem to behave strangely and looks at the pair as if they wanted to kill them. As they arrived at the butcher shop, the man brought them to the kitchen and there, Sheva and Chris obtained weapons and gears needed to accomplish their mission. As they travel further, they are assaulted by the African Villagers who has gone wild. They had to shoot them and escape. The pair soon finds out that the villagers are fed with some weird giant leech-like creature. It is the Las Plaga, just like the ones from Resident Evil 4 except that these are improved. The man who provided the weapons to the two agents was then executed. His head was cut off by a very big muscular man, who covered his face with a mask and wields a gigantic axe, known as the Executioner. The infected then tries to kill Sheva and Alomar in which they did their best to save themselves and requested for the chopper to help them by blasting missiles to the place they were in to clear a path.

Chris and Sheva continued to rendezvous with the Alpha Team. Unfortunately, the Alpha Team was wiped out. A leech like monster appeared and Sheva and Chris killed it. The leader of the team managed to warn them about Ricardo's betrayal and hands them a file. Soon, they meet up with the leader of the Delta Team, Josh Stone and he gave Chris a memory card with research materials. One of the picture was Jill Valentine, Chris' partner who died in a mission in the past.

As Chris and Sheva continue their journey to uncover the truth about Irving's betrayal, Chris also tries to find out more about Jill. During their journey, they met a Ricardo Irving along with another person who was cloaked and very mysterious. The cloaked person gave Ricardo a control parasite and he soon mutated into a monster as well. Sheva and Chris has to fight him and kill him in the process. Before dying, he mange to utter the name 'Excella Gionne'.

Who is the cloaked and mysterious person? Who is Excella? Who is behind all this plot? Play Resident Evil 5 to find out more about the Resident Evil Saga. This game is promising and at the same time much more action filled than the previous installments.

Additional Information:

As you complete the games, there will be bonuses for the taking. There will still be 'The Mercenaries" mode. Secret outfits for Sheva and Chris are also part of the bonus.

Ratings for the game:

Chris: 5/5

Khai: 5/5

Fitri: 4/5

Opinions for the game:

Chris (NOT CHRIS REDFIELD) : The most incredible installment of the Resident Evil saga. The game is much more action filled and the infected are now much harder to deal with. The boss are much harder and this provides a lot of challenge. The games has a long story that keeps you guessing about what will happen next. The best Resident Evil installment so far. Highly recommended to Resident Evil lovers and also those who enjoy hard core shooting and adventuring.

Khai : Incredibly amazing audiovisual presentation. Excellent, bloody, in-your-face shooting action, the suspenseful, lengthy storyline keeps you guessing, astonishing boss battles and plenty of extras give lots of replay value. Awesome game, recommended to brave players only.

Fitri : Resident Evil 5 is so much more better than Resident Evil 4. Playing it in two-player mode makes things much easier because you are able to protect your partner. Sometimes the AI won't be much of help in critical situation. I recommend this to zombie-shooting lovers.
