Weapons in Resident Evil 5 are varied and include pistols, shotguns, machine guns, sniper rifles and more. You can carry several items and weapons, but are limited in quantity making management of your inventory important (more on that later).

Chris is a great hero, and Sheva is also equal to the task. Overall we have to credit Capcom for creating a story that progresses the franchise and offers some new spins on the Resident Evil mythology.

As was detailed in Resident Evil Degeneration the focus has shifted away from Umbrella to a terrorist organisation. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot.īefore we get into the gameplay I must say that I was impressed with the storyline in this game. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. Chris Redfield has followed the path of the evil around the globe. The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror. But have Capcom provided something fresh, or just more of the same? Read on…

This is the first time the series has been seen on PS3 and Xbox 360, and with visuals to die for and classic gameplay it was a near certainty that this game would be a hit. To say that Resident Evil 5, which was announced way back in 2005, is eagerly anticipated would be an understatement.
