Even with all the small problems, it was still a fun, enjoyable experience. Even with all its merits, and there are plenty, Resident Evil 5 is a disappointment. Read more

- Co-op is the defining moment of innovation for the franchise, stunning visuals, monster design creepy as usual, terrific atmosphere, a great survival horror experience;
- The single-player suffers on account of AI slip-ups, we expected more eye-openers in the game's narrative, not quite as replayable as RE 4.
