Expanding upon the third person format laid out in the previous game, the fifth instalment in the long running series has a less atmospheric setting and the story seems to be running out of ideas; it has moved away completely from the zombies that used to be the series' bread and butter and is now completely monster-orientated. It also teams you up with an computer-controlled partner for the duration who's as much a hindrance as help thanks to inconsistent AI. Still a solid action adventure, but Resident Evil 4 is much better. |
