You play as Chris and you are in Kijiju Africa investigating a new strand of biological weapons. Which makes me wonder why doesn’t Chris just quit I mean every time he investigates something things turn from bad to just god awful in about a half hour.Anyways,yes you’re in Africa and you must stop the Umbrella corporation and their sister company Tricell once and for all.Well,Wesker is back ONCE AGAIN! I’m starting to think this guy is Jesus because he just wont stay dead. Anyways Wesker wants to spread Uroboros all over the world and mutate the planet and reign supreme over those who survive.Seeing how uroboros has a choice as to who it mutates into a super human and who it just mutates, Wesker wants to rid the world of the weak and let natural selection make the choice.WOW someone has read WAY too many comic books. So its up to Chris Redfield and your partner Shiva to stop him and save the world.I swear Capcom needs to layoff the Saturday morning cartoons because this plot is now so generic.
Graphics-
Whew this game looks sexy. Lighting, shadows, and dripping water all are rendered lovely.And the characters actually drip dry when wet and leave wet spots where they stood. Explosions light up the area and cause permanent burn marks, and when bullets hit metal they ricochet off and spark.Heads explode and blood leaks everywhere and looks so great. Dimly lit areas play tricks on your senses since whenever the emergency light shines your way a huge image which may be your enemy shows up and it turns out to be just your own shadow…or that of a shelf or something like that.
Gameplay-
So this time part 5 takes everything that made part 4 so great.Over the shoulder camera, reaction commands that allow you to stab enemies in the face or just give them a good ol’ falcon PUNCH in the face…yes,that’s right you punch infected Africans IN THE FACE ‘POW!’ show me your moves. Well this game is similar to a condensed tactical shooter since this time your partner Shiva can actually defend her self and you share ammo and guns so she can watch your back instead of constantly getting kidnapped.And your attache case can only hold but so many weapons so you constantly aware of how much space you have left and what you need because using a first aid spray to make room for 10 handgun bullets sucks.Yes that’s right.I’m talking about you Ashely from the 4thResident Evil, you pile of dead weight. Finishers are the best part of this game, when a boss or enemy is weak enough a button command will appear on the screen and if pressed or mashed enough the scene proceeds and you are rewarded with a satisfying scene of brutality and if failed the player is attacked and have to start over.Commands aren’t solely for offense either as some are to dodge, duck, grab a ledge, or help your partner up or over some tricky areas.
Cons-
Cant shoot while you walk.Don’t now why Isaac from dead space can aim and walk and hes a freaking mechanic, so why cant a trained military officer do it? The answer is beyond me.The attache case fills up way too quickly and it can become annoying having to constantly stop check what you need and don’t need.Bosses are all too easy with the exception of Wesker. In my opinion this makes no sense.Your partner can run through bullets like water if she isn’t set to cover… which can be a pest if forgotten. The game is short with only six chapters and each having three parts and we’ve found that the whole game can be completed in about 7-8 hours.
