Capcom unleashed Resident Evil 5 in all territories last week and we've covered it pretty good with the PS3 version and tons of gameplay videos. Here's the classic First 10 Minutes video, this time from the Xbox 360 version, showing a bit more on the story. The game itself is very good, great graphics and gameplay. Many of you probably already own the game, so feel as always free to share your impressions in the comment section.
Dritwood's speaking: I wanted to support Manager's impressions of the game with a short comment. I was not entirely convinced by the demo myself and I have to say that once I got the game, I completely changed my mind and just got sucked into it. Some will certainly bitch about the oldish gameplay feel of the game but don't let it keep you away from Resident Evil 5 as it'd be a huge mistake. Soon enough, you'll forget about the somewhat awkward controls and you'll simply lose the notion of time while playing, which is always a very good sign.
The coop mode is excellent and although it tends to make the game a little easier - in normal mode at least - be sure that some sequences are challenging enough to feel all the tension you need to get. Graphically, the game is just stunning and the pleasure of discovery is emphasized by the fantastic scenery, the great character models, the realistic lighting and the over the top cutscenes. So give a go at it, it'd be a real shame to miss such a good game, no matter what some people say about it.

Many reviews aren't all positive but i'm happy i bought the game.
grphixwhore that i am ;)
I'm at the end of Chapter 4 now (out of 6 I believe) and am enjoying it a lot. It really is just RE4 subtly re-skinned, even the theming of the environments mirrors RE4 to a large degree. But RE4 was an amazing ride and this is too. My only major gripe is Sheva, who under AI control is retarded and will a)waste ammo, b) waste health, and c) get herself killed all the time. I'd sooner she wasn't in the game at all.
Still, the game is a lot of fun, graphically absolutely stunning, and despite what the Gears of Wars kiddies will have you believe, controls just fine.

The game's only flaw is it's length. Took me only 9 hours the first time, on normal setting, without rushing at all. Each time after it only took 4 hours. Again, no rush. Could probably do it in 2 if I rushed. In any case it's half the length of RE4
As for this game, i also wasnt 100% convinced after the demo..
But after just 1min of this, im going to buy it =D
It has absolutely nothing to do with game content or the physical age of the gamer.
Instead of "and despite what the Gears of Wars kiddies will have you believe, controls just fine. ", you should've just said- and despite what SOME will have you believe, controls just fine.
PS. Eng aint my native language so i couldnt care less m8 .
Wow, i dont understand anything you just wrote, you spell VERY bad in Swedish!
You didnt get a single word right! Maby you should check "your" posts before hitting submit, I cant imagine why anyone with access to a functioning keyboard would utterly fail in such a mind bogglingly stupid and brainless way to write in MY NATIVE LANGUAGE.
Flame off. I strongly recommend the Gamersyde staff to start handing out bans when people write a reply for no other reason than to whine about spelling. It adds nothing to the discussions about the game. Dont let this turn into gametrailers.com
Thank you
It also has nothing to do with people's native language, as the poster I was commenting on was not speaking in broken English, he was speaking in L33T. Quite different.
I've been playing it about 10 hours last week end in coop and i really love that game, with several epic moments.
