Het populaire Japanse blad Famitsu heeft z'n cijfers voor Resident Evil 5 gegeven (ziet er goed uit):
Famitsu Review (10/10/9/9 = 38/40)
"There's no dramatic change as there was from RE3 to RE4, but there's still an evolutionary process here," as one put it. "No major surprises; just an ease of play and a visual, control, and gameplay standard that's top-of-the-line," said another. And that, really, is the worst you can say about Capcom's latest, a game otherwise described as a "massive, valuable package."
With the basic feel largely the same, "the main difference from RE4 is the important role Sheva takes and how much working with her is part of advancing through the game," one said. "The difficulty level can change a lot depending on what weapons you give her or what you ask her to do." Another noted that co-op is what makes this game unique at all, especially online: "Co-op is about more than just playing the story; two hardcore players can go for high scores online, and you definitely get enough inspiration to keep on playing this way. Sheva under AI control is pretty decent, but I wish there were more ways to direct her moves." As a third put it, "playing alone is no problem, but co-op is just so much more fun."
The challenge level is well done, according to Famitsu's reviewers ("I'm very impressed with the way there's always some sort of route open to you, no matter how good or bad you are at games"), and the writers didn't have any of the problems with the controls that demo players have brought up -- "being able to change weapons with the directional pad really speeds up the game," and "getting to choose from several control types is also nice." The graphics are top-notch, too, of course: "The parched atmosphere the light and shadows present is amazing, putting you that much deeper into the game."
Final verdict: "The addictiveness of RE4, coupled with the novelty of co-op, couldn't be more fun." There you go.
