The Fall of Resident Evil

One day many years back in 1996, I was visiting a friend who got a copy of Resident Evil.  Right off the bat I realized this game was going to be a thrill ride.  Featuring horror right out of a movie and pre-rendered environments that set the mood for eerie.  The puzzles were many, the horror was immense, the suspense was great, and the thrills were around each corner.

Soon after, Capcom released a sequel Resident Evil 2.  At that time, I had my own PS1, so I quickly snagged this title.  It featured something very unique.  It contained 2 disks, 1 for Leon the hero, and one for Claire the heroine.  While both of them were in the same area, their paths were quite different as well as their goals.  Resident Evil 2 easily became my favorite Resident Evil of all time.  It had horror, zombie filled streets, survival, great actors, challenge, and a sense of helplessness.  This came out to an amazing experience.

Resident Evil 5 Review

I’ve been a long time fan of Resident Evil saga, so when I got my PS3, this was the first game I snagged up.  While some aspects of it were annoying, the overall feel of the game gave me plenty to enjoy.

Moving Resident Evil from the overview to the 3rd person was a great way to bring RE to next gen consoles.  RE4 was a smash hit so RE5 of course follows this.  The controls ended up being pretty spitting image of RE4 with the exception of the joystick and aiming.  It took a long time to get used to, but it worked well.  Overall the controls were pretty perfect.  My only concern is my curiosity as to when Capcom is planning on allowing our heroes to move while shooting.

Graphics were stunning.  Absolutely stunning.  I had no issues with anything here.  The scenery drew you in, the attention to detail was great.  That’s all I can really say here.
