Dofuss says: "Let's not kid ourselves, if your reading this you have probably already have an opinion of Resident Evil 5.You will know about the 'unique' controls and know how they will affect your enjoyment. If the barrier of these controls is insurmountable for you, don't buy it. While the game is more varied than the demo let on, the controls never improve is exacerbated by the camera, which at times zooms in so close the that you loose peripheral vision. But I am not here for a technical breakdown of the game. I'm here to tell you what I think of it.
Bear with me on this. RE5 is like a bowling ball which has had an ice cream scoop sized hole taken out of the middle of it. Well not quite the middle, a little off center. It feels a little hollow and unbalanced. But the 'bowling' experience, throwing the ball, the atmosphere and slipping around in rental shoes, remain fun even if the game isn't as 'good'."
