Resident Evil 5

I believe that Resident Evil 4 was one of the best games of all time. Without a doubt top 25 and maybe even top 10. I would have to break out a pretty serious list to say for sure, but until then let's just say that Resident Evil 4 kicked major gaming ass and is among the elite games. Now we have the latest in the Resident Evil franchise: Resident Evil 5. Will it take the greatness of 4 and take it to the next level? Or will it disappoint based on the incredible experience of 4? I am willing to put my money on the fact that Resident Evil 5 will take the next step in gaming evolution and will be one of the best games of 2009. Let's take a look at what we can expect out of the latest by Capcom.

First a brief description of Resident Evil 5: The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilizing a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, players will be able to assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will have players fearing the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games. Promising to revolutionize the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control, Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series. New technology developed specifically for the game, as well as incredible changes to both the gameplay and world of Resident Evil will make this a must-have game for gamers across the globe.
