Summary
Experience the thrill and terror all over again with Resident Evil 5, now for PC. Featuring Chris Redfield of the original Resident Evil and new partner Sheva Alomar, a West African agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this sci-fi survival game is staged in a remote desert colony packed with hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking enemies that represent a whole new breed of evil. It features an exciting two-player co-op mode, new costumes, an improved Mercenaries Mode with multiple times as many enemies than the console version of the game, and another first, stereoscopic 3D out of screen effects.

If you’re trying RE for the first time because of the cool-ass trailers and explodaganza screenshots, such bizarre restrictions could irritate enough to make you put the controller down and fire up a game that doesn’t insist on clutching dusty old ideas.
Resident Evil 5 successfully builds on the foundation of its predecessor while taking a drastically different direction. Having a partner introduces new degrees of gameplay depth and dramatic tension that make the game much more exciting to play. Though the slower, more deliberate movement and shooting may not appeal to everyone, this sequel's frequent large-scale battles and co-op play still offer a fun and exciting adventure.
It lacks dread, shock, fear. The creeping sense of impending doom. The reluctance to open the next door for fear of what might be there. And that’s the result of a number of choices that make Resident Evil 5 something different than other games in the series. It remains great-looking and very competent, a challenging experience with a lot to offer, between its cooperative modes, 15ish-hour campaign and unlockable Mercenaries mode. It’s worth your $20.
