In 1998 RESIDENT EVIL was released on the Playstation, heralded the action adventure in a new era. Although it had previously survival horror title given as ALONE IN THE DARK (a series that throws off today sequels), but only by the Japanese zombie horror, who has in his home country to the track BIOHAZARD, the subgenre was acceptable. Many imitators followed more or less successful, and of course also provided the original series to continue after the next. In addition to various offshoots, which differed from the game mechanics of the principal series, we invented the wheel in 2005 and bought the series with Resident Evil 4 is a completely new approach: both in terms of game system as well as in philosophy. Had previously fixed camera angles and the constant Munitionsnot dominated, there was now in a full 3D third-person perspective. Ammunition and weapons were abundantly available and were badly needed: After you had been some zombies or mutants must fight, rushed now true enemy hordes on the player. The result: an incredible commercial and critical success, which lasted for Gamecube, PS2, Wii and PC.
Many fans threw the fourth installment of the series, however, resolve to be strong from the roots. Action by the priority was the horror atmosphere is lost, criticized some, while others were annoyed that they opened a completely new storyline, without, which had been spun so far in the series, orderly to tell the end. It is quite possible that the developers of the Japanese software developer Capcom had planned from the start, leading away the plot briefly to them following the fifth part back on the old track. Perhaps it was also the case that they just had listened to the complaints of the fans. At least in part, because the game should be in principle RESIDENT EVIL 5 compared to the previous change that. However, it was clear that this episode, the story that began in 1998 with the start would lead to finally end. A first trailer showed that you would change according to geographically a small American town and a English village in an African Township. Capcom also promised that RESIDENT EVIL 5, the next-gen consoles except the last would make fullest. Have they managed to do this?
"You have something between his teeth ..." Chris Redfield, one of the few survivors of the T-Virus outbreak of Racoon City, has wound up in Africa. He is now a member of the BSAA, an international task force whose mission is to combat the threat of bio-technology weapons. A notorious arms dealer who specializes in just this division was seen in the remote location Kijuju. So Chris goes to his local liaison Sheva Alomar in the search for the villains. Does the former STARS member initially because that he is dealing with a routine mission, he must soon find that Kijuju is a city of the damned. The population was infected with the Las Plagas parasite, discovered the Leon S. Kennedy was in Spain, and is a violent cult expire, have no place in the underdog. After Chris and Sheva have recovered from the shock and the first attack, they discovered that the poor natives were not made at random to dangerous mutants. This army of terror guarded a secret, whose origins many decades into the past. When the two new friends do to uncover this very, Chris acknowledges that no one other than his own worst enemy ... site is a former director and current STARS bioterrorist Albert Wesker!
Already the first minutes of RESIDENT EVIL 5 make clear that the player can expect in the course of the story only a few moments of relaxation. The enemies usually appear in large groups and put the team of Chris and Sheva too bad. These are also the most powerful moments of the game. Previously, we had not imagined that such a sun flooded city could be a such great danger. But Capcom is able actually to cast the player as some bead of sweat on the forehead. Too big crowds and opponents seem to far these monsters, which one encounters. All this is facilitated by a generous Ammunition distribution. And in contrast to the previous one keeps after a first play through his weapons and equipment when you switch to a higher level of difficulty. The gameplay has remained the same: You watch Chris on the right shoulder, running and aims. It is still not possible in the going to shoot. created new is the inventory, in which is no longer the size of the objects of importance. Each collected item consumes exactly one slot of the inventory. Far more dramatic is that the game does not pause when you switch to the virtual backpack. This intensity is offset somewhat by the fact that the digital control pad with certain objects can occupy. One can also heat of the moment without problems clearly draw the desired weapon. The cutscenes download - we know it from its predecessor - not to rest, but keep some handy little unfair to set Quicktime moments. If you have played through the game, there are several extras available to encourage further runs. Is it on pure shooting action, pulls to approach the "mercenaries" mode, which in RESIDENT EVIL 5, apparently the Wii no problems made (remember: in Part 4 had to be removed to the German market, because he was in this country was too bloodthirsty ...)
"Schni-Schnabel-Schnappi -. The little crocodile " The biggest change is the co-op could be already in RESIDENT EVIL ZERO switch between the two sides back and forth, Episode 5 offers the ability to take a friend along Gamer's perils . to insist black continent, the mode of choice here is of course online but can be played via split screen - which also applies to "the mercenaries" in the "Versus" mode, you can play eventually to today unfortunately not in Germany... This Extra must be downloaded and that is was the PSP but then too much. time out of luck again.
provides technical RESIDENT EVIL 5 is a logical development of Part 4 dar. Although many animations and sounds were copied from the previous, play the latest chapter in the saga here in a whole new league. Above all, graphically impressive fireworks burned, which often comes along almost photo realistic (as opposed to the surprisingly weak water surfaces). Just playing with light (which was originally to play an even greater role to Capcom screwed back this element), provides many impressive moments. The monsters look pretty slimy and are mostly animated great. In the Majini, those infected, there are a number of double, but the designers have taken care to set up a big, rich and varied army of terror. The game plays on Xbox 360 and PS3 almost the same. The technical differences between the versions (the former has a slight green tint, the latter a slight red cast and weaker smoke effects) are not significant.
"Yes, I saw da sam Mit'n Yes, I saw sam Mit'n there!" If you liked Resident Evil 4, will also have great fun. The no-frills action, where you can search puzzles with a magnifying glass, ensures consistently interesting conversation that really leaves little time to breathe. Unfortunately, this method consumes a little over time - even though RESIDENT EVIL is surprisingly short fifth That may be the one relative to the easy level, on the other, the surprise plot are poor. All the twisting tale interpreted in well before the actual occurrence of, and there's really no surprises. Shall imply the game and the typical levels, which were known previously from any part of (caves, landing platforms, industrial sites, chain-swinging opponent with a bag over his head ...), so quickly after the first interesting sections adjusted somewhat sobering. Positive should be mentioned that the history, with Resident Evil on the Playstation One found its beginning, here, in fact, is said to end. Some flashbacks (in which you wished that you could play it) and a really staged a furious showdown reconcile with the otherwise weak story - although there will be many fans who will not fit the finality of the end.
All in all, RESIDENT EVIL 5 is a good game that guarantees many hours of fun, but also causes significant wear and tear of the game principle and history in mind. The decision as to the horror in favor of action to shut down almost completely, the series is not doing well and might further Parts that follow this format can seem arbitrary and interchangeable. Fortunately, Capcom has already announced that a complete re-orientation part 6 will present the series. It will be interesting to see what we will be served up as in a few years. Until then I will certainly play Resident Evil 5 by a couple of times (in solo mode maintains, at least as much fun as coop) and feel I have a good time despite all the criticisms. Because you get stupid Herumgeballere rarely presented in such good shape.
