Holy crap! That. Is. Awesome. Immediately tops everything in Uncharted 1 (the best game for the PS3 until this comes out).

I've been happy with EA lately. Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Orange Box, Rock Band...They are definitely trying to do more than just crappy sequels.

The world could use more good "god of war like" games. Not enough action platformers in this generation.

I welcome it with open arms. I will date this game, but I will make love to GoW3...all night long.

Yeah...I saw that right after I posted. A pretty decent review.

Can someone please comment on the quality of play? Everyone is just repeating what was already said by 10 other people.

IS IT ANY GOOD?

The treasure hunting and upgrading was like crack for me in RE4 (same reason I love the R&C games).

I'm sad to hear that it isn't as robust in RE5.

You said it's not as good, and I'm ready for that to be true, but in the same breath, you mentioned beating it twice, so I must still be very good.

I've heard consistently that it is addictive and fun, just different and not quite as focused and, quite frankly, perfect as RE4.

The co-op is something I'm excited about and worried about. L4D is one of my favorite games, but I feel like I am a slave to my friends schedules. I don't want that for RE5. So if the AI really sucks, I will be disappointed. However, reviews go back and forth on the subject, so say she is great, some say she is terrible. So say the game isn't scary because its easy, some say it is really challenging.

Specific question for you: How are the controls worse than RE4? You mention the "control quality" being a bad thing. Aren't they exactly the same, if not a little better because of the walk strafing and steadier aiming?

Craziness. This game is going to be great. Who was actually scared playing RE4? Especially after the first play through...I beat RE4 4 or 5 times, and I didn't do it because of the "horror," I did it because of the gameplay and upgrade system, both of which are intact here. If it's not scary enough, play it on Hard.

The people who didn't like the demo are the people who didn't play or didn't like RE4.

If you liked RE4, you will like RE5, plain and simple.

This review pissed me off. It's a videogame! Who cares if it didn't have enough horror and it had too much action. Don't kid yourself, RE4 was an action game with some horror style presentation, same as RE5.

I'm excited, can't imagine what exactly what they are up to. How would Versus be different than Slayer? How would a deathmatch even work, both people just stand in the open, whoever gets headshots first wins...

Survival I'm sure will be fun.

I love L4D to death, so if they can bring that kind of tension to the game, I'm all for it.

Will be playing this game through many times, I'm sure.

This is actually bad news. Pandemic hasn't put out a solid next-gen game yet. Mercs 2 was fun enough, but far from stellar. LOTR:C was just terrible.

Damn, I really don't want the controls changed. The controls made the game, it was the source of most of the tension. I guess if they add strafing while you are walking or running, that would be alright. But if they add moving while shooting, it better be really slow, otherwise it will change the flow of the game. Though if they throw 5x the amount of enemies at you, then maybe a little movement wouldn't hurt the tension, but just make it bearable.
