I got it at the midnight opening. Been playing it for about an hour, probably one of the first people in Oklahoma to play it.

FFFFFUCK YEAH. IT'S GREAT. I'm not very far, but it's pretty awesome so far.

Demo was pretty ok to me, though I dunno about buying it right now.

However, versus multiplayer sounds damn good.

Been playing it for 4 hours, im ****ing tired.
It's pretty fun, really intense, but it annoys me, the upgrading system.

I got to 3-1, the marshlands.

Just got past that. ****ing crazy island people.

What was your last username Ampersand

Sweeney .

Yeah it's been pretty good so far.

It's great that you noticed.

I can't see the attraction in the Resi series.

Sucks for you, this game is amazing

I'm gonna go memorize the strategy guide like I did in RE4 and start a new game.

I've heard it's pretty dated. The controls that were so good in RE4 are old and not very innovative anymore, and serve as more of a frustration than a challenge.

XPLAY gave it 3/5 stars, and my friend, who had the gmae preordered, agrees with that score.

I don't. The game is really fun, I don't find it dated at all.

The controls are different from RE4, and it runs smoother.

played the demo and absolutely hated it, i have no idea what's so good about it.

I agree with Chunkels. Its just a average game with bad controls.

Excuse me? I've heard that they are almost identecal, in function if not in layout.

Make a diagram showing the controls, please.

EDIT: Here's the one for RE5:

It's a good game with average controls and an excellent story. I love how you judge a game completely based on the demo.
